- 6733529 Fuel Your Dreams with Emotional ResilienceYou can have all the knowledge in the world and be connected to everyone and anyone, but if you don't believe in yourself, you will not go far. Therefore, fuel your dreams with emotional resilience. As you navigate through life with aspirations and ambitions, it becomes crucial to manage your emotions and feelings effectively. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co These internal factors can either fuel your journey towards success or become obstacles that hinder your progress. If you allow your emotions to overpower your rational thinking, your dreams may fade into the background while you focus on extinguishing the fire ignited by your feelings. To stay committed to your goals without losing sight of your emotions, you must take intentional steps to maintain a healthy balance in your life. This requires ongoing effort and dedication to self-awareness, self-improvement, and emotional regulation. It's a continuous process of understanding who you are, envisioning who you want to become, and ensuring that your emotions do not derail you from your path to success. So, how do you gain control over your emotions so your dreams can rise? You have got to stay grounded in the pursuit of your dreams. The K.I.S.S. ~ Stay grounded in the pursuit of your dreams! As we discuss what this looks like in real life, think about how you handle things, good or bad, and where you see yourself right now. This is not about beating yourself up, but looking at it with a compassionate microscope so you can stay grounded in pursuing your dreams. PRACTICE MINDFULNESS AND SELF-REFLECTION One way to stay grounded in the pursuit of our dreams is to practice mindfulness and self-reflection. By cultivating a habit of introspection, we can better understand our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This self-awareness enables us to identify triggers that may lead to emotional upheaval and respond to challenges with clarity and composure. In both personal and professional settings, mindfulness allows us to navigate complex situations with grace and resilience. "Mindfulness is the compass that guides us through turbulent waters, helping us navigate our emotions with grace and clarity." - Kristianne Wargo SET REALISTIC GOALS AND CREATE A STRATEGIC PLAN Setting realistic goals and creating a strategic plan is another effective way to stay committed to our aspirations while managing our emotions. By breaking down our overarching objectives into manageable tasks and milestones, we can track our progress and celebrate small victories along the way. This structured approach not only keeps us focused on our goals but also prevents overwhelming emotions from derailing our momentum. In the words of renowned author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins, "Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible." "Setting goals is not just about reaching the destination; it's about embracing the journey and celebrating every step forward. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" - Kristianne Wargo SURROUND YOURSELF WITH A SUPPORTIVE NETWORK Moreover, surrounding ourselves with a supportive network of mentors, friends, and colleagues can provide invaluable guidance and encouragement on our journey toward success. By seeking advice from experienced individuals who have faced similar challenges, we can gain new perspectives and insights that help us navigate obstacles with confidence and determination. Building a strong support system not only strengthens our resolve but also reinforces our belief in our capabilities and potential. "In the tapestry of life, a supportive network weaves threads of strength and encouragement, fortifying our belief in ourselves and our potential." - Kristianne Wargo In the words of mindset and focus experts, the importance of self-belief cannot be overstated. "Believing in yourself is the cornerstone of achieving your dreams. Trust in your abilities and never underestimate the power of your potential." ~ Kristianne Wargo CHALLENGE: Where are you unsettled in your emotional resilience? What gets under your skin where it's hard to bounce back quickly? How can you make a change to redirect yourself in your everyday journey? By nurturing a positive mindset, practicing self-care, and embracing resilience, you can overcome self-doubt and fear, and unlock your true potential to reach new heights of success. Remember, your belief in yourself is the guiding light that illuminates the path to your dreams. Trust yourself with each decision you make so the journey is well-lived. Stay committed to your goals, and let your unwavering self-belief propel you toward the future you envision. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6743528 Faith Produces PerseveranceConsider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. ~ James 1:2-3 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ~ James 1:4 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co This verse encourages believers to find joy in the midst of trials and challenges, recognizing that these difficulties can strengthen their faith and character, leading to maturity and wholeness. It emphasizes the importance of perseverance and trust in God's plan for their lives. Life is a beautiful paradox, a delicate balance of sorrow and joy, challenges and victories. In the midst of adversity, there is hope; in times of sorrow, there is joy awaiting us. It's the ebb and flow of life that shapes us and teaches us to appreciate the blessings that come our way. Amidst the chaos and uncertainties of this world, it's easy to fall into the trap of negative patterns and lose sight of the bigger picture. However, it's essential to remember that there is always a glimmer of light in the darkness, a reason to hope even in the face of despair. The K.I.S.S. ~ Faith produces perseverance! While suffering and disappointments may be inevitable, there is comfort in knowing that each day presents new opportunities and blessings. "For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning." ~ Psalm 30:5 Tears and joy can coexist, painting a vivid tapestry of emotions that remind us of the complexity and beauty of life. Our faith and belief in a greater purpose allow us to find strength and consolation, knowing that we are cherished and loved unconditionally. You are not alone in your journey. God is with you! "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." ~ Romans 15:13 Today, find comfort in the assurance that you are not defined by your circumstances but by the unwavering love and grace given to you. Embrace the paradox of life with faith, knowing that you are deeply cherished and cared for by your heavenly Father. God takes care of your heart; it's not your accomplishments that fill your heart. Stay encouraged, for you are a beloved child of God, deserving of all the blessings and miracles that await you. Yes, there are going to be ups and downs, and all around, but embrace each moment with gratitude and faith, believing that you are guided and protected by a divine presence that surrounds you with love, God himself. "For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison." ~ 2 Corinthians 4:17 May your day be filled with the peace and joy that comes from knowing that you are loved beyond measure.

- 6753527 Find Freedom in ForgivenessIn the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of keeping score in our relationships, especially in marriage. But what if, instead of keeping score, you choose to find freedom in forgiveness? As you know, it's all too easy to find ourselves mentally tallying up who did the dishes last, who took out the trash, who planned the last date night, or whose turn it is to get the kiddos ready for bed. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co What if you let go of the need to constantly measure your spouse's actions against your own and instead focus on fostering a deeper, more loving connection? How would that make you feel? You know I'm all about a good football game. But in this case, the score of your game needs to remain zero to zero. Let me ask you-- What is the score? If you have to think twice, you are keeping score. In marriage, give 'n take is all a part of unconditional love. But once you allow yourself to keep score and lean more toward what's not happening, you know that maybe the game is a little more serious than you thought. So, how do you keep score to not keep score? You must connect to the heart, not the scoreboard. The K.I.S.S. ~ Connect to the heart! Now, understand that words and actions have power. Yet, if everything is done because one of you wants the "win," you are married for the wrong reasons. You don't see the person you are sleeping with. 1. Practice Empathy and Understanding One of the most powerful ways to let go of scorekeeping in a marriage is to practice empathy and understanding. Put yourself in your partner's shoes, try to see things from their perspective, and approach disagreements with compassion. When you let go of the need to be right (that "win") and instead seek to understand, you create a foundation of trust and emotional intimacy. For example, instead of getting upset when your partner forgets to do something you asked, take a moment to consider what might be going on in their world that led to the oversight. By approaching the situation with empathy, you open the door to forgiveness and deeper connection. "In the game of love, the score that truly matters is the one where both partners feel seen, heard, and loved." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Communicate Openly and Honestly Another key to breaking free from the cycle of scorekeeping is open and honest communication, not demands or hints of "this is right." Create a safe space for both you and your partner to express your thoughts, feelings, and needs without fear of judgment. By fostering a culture of open communication, you can address issues as they arise instead of letting them fester and lead to resentment. For instance, if you feel like your partner isn't pulling their weight in certain aspects of the relationship, have a candid conversation about your expectations and how you can support each other better. By communicating openly, you pave the way for understanding and forgiveness to flourish. "True love thrives in the vulnerability of honest communication." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Cultivate Gratitude and Appreciation Lastly, to shift away from keeping score and moving toward a more loving and forgiving mindset, cultivate a practice of gratitude and appreciation. Take time each day to reflect on the qualities and actions of your partner that you are grateful for. Show appreciation for the little things they do, whether it's making you a cup of coffee in the morning or leaving a sweet note on your desk. By focusing on the positive aspects of your relationship and expressing gratitude regularly, you create a sense of mutual respect and admiration that transcends petty grievances. For example, make it a habit to express gratitude to your partner for their contributions to your shared life, no matter how small. Remember, you're in this together. And this will help you both feel valued and loved, strengthening your bond and fostering forgiveness. "In the dance of marriage, gratitude is the music that keeps the rhythm of love alive." ~ Kristianne Wargo In marriage, finding freedom in forgiveness requires a shift in mindset from keeping score to embracing empathy, communication, and gratitude. By letting go of the need to tally up perceived slights and instead choosing to forgive and love unconditionally, you, as a couple, can deepen your connection and create a relationship rooted in understanding and compassion. As you navigate the challenges of everyday life with your spouse, remember that the true victory lies not in winning imaginary competitions but in building a foundation of love that transcends scorekeeping and flourishes in forgiveness.

- 6763526 How to Nurture Parent-Child ConnectionsExpressing love to our children is a constant balancing act. Even as hard as parents try, love can get lost in the message if parents don't learn how to nurture parent-child connections. As you know, parenting is an intricate dance. Just as each child is unique, so too are the ways they give and receive love. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co While parents may pour their hearts into demonstrating affection, sometimes it's not received well, if at all. This can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunications, and, ultimately, a disconnect in the parent-child relationship. Gary Chapman, renowned author and counselor, pioneered the concept of the Five Love Languages - Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Physical Touch. By understanding and speaking a child's specific love language, parents can bridge the gap and nurture a deeper connection with their little ones. Words of Affirmation Words of affirmation like "Your hair looks amazing today!" or "You played an incredible game tonight!" hold significant value for children who thrive on praise. Whether complimenting their personality, achievements, appearance, or anything that validates them, these words can have a lasting impact. It's important to note that offering a monetary reward to a child who craves affirmation will ultimately leave them feeling unfulfilled. Acts of Service During the formative years, we care for our children by fulfilling tasks they are unable to do independently. As they grow, our love manifests through guiding them in learning how to navigate life on their own. For a child who resonates with acts of service as their primary love language, understanding which specific acts hold significance is crucial. Does assisting with homework or teaching them a new skill like throwing a ball make them feel loved and valued? Gifts Children who resonate with this love language cherish gifts as a physical expression of love and care. However, they may also perceive a scarcity of gifts as a scarcity of love. It's essential to understand that the value of the gift lies not in its cost but in the sentiment behind it. Acknowledging that a child may feel more appreciated with a small token like a pack of gum than with a hug is key to fostering effective communication and connection. Quality Time Children who communicate through this love language crave dedicated and uninterrupted attention. From playful interactions on the floor during infancy to engaging in conversations, reading bedtime stories, or enjoying outdoor activities as they grow older, the essence of quality time lies in the bond created through shared experiences. While the specific activity may vary, the shared moments hold the utmost importance. In families with multiple children, it can be challenging for a child to secure one-on-one time with a parent. It's essential for them to feel valued and reassured that they deserve and are worthy of receiving undivided attention. Physical Touch The profound impact of physical touch on emotional well-being has been recognized for ages. From the early stages of development where held infants thrive compared to those left alone, to older children who continue to yearn for physical closeness, the significance of simple gestures like a touch on the arm, a reassuring pat on the back, or a warm hug cannot be overstated. These acts of physical affection hold special importance for children fluent in this love language, as they seek to tangibly feel the depth of your love and care. So how do you discover your child's love language? The only way you can do that is to learn to read your child. The K.I.S.S. ~ Learn to read your child! Discovering a child's love language requires a mindful approach and a willingness to adapt. Here are three practical steps parents can take to understand and speak their child's unique love language: 1. Observe and Listen: Pay close attention to how your child expresses affection towards others and what they request or appreciate in return. For example, if your child often seeks hugs and physical closeness, their primary love language might be Physical Touch. In this case, offering frequent hugs, cuddles, and high-fives can make them feel cherished and understood. 2. Experiment and Engage: Try expressing love to your child through each of the Five Love Languages and observe their reactions. For a child whose love language is Receiving Gifts, surprising them with a small token of appreciation like a handmade card or a favorite treat can speak volumes. Alternatively, engaging in shared activities such as playing a board game or going for a nature walk caters to a child who values Quality Time. 3. Communicate and Validate: Open communication is key to understanding your child's emotional needs. Encourage them to express how they feel loved and appreciated, and validate their feelings even if they differ from your own. Using Words of Affirmation to acknowledge their efforts, strengths, and unique qualities can boost their self-esteem and reinforce a positive parent-child bond. By actively learning and speaking your child's love language, you can foster a nurturing and supportive environment where love flows freely and authentically. Just as a flower needs the right conditions to bloom, children thrive when their emotional needs are met in a language they understand. So, let's embrace the journey of discovery and celebrate the beauty of loving our children the way they receive love. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6773525 You Can Do This!Sometimes, we just need to hear, "You can do this!" Because when life comes at you with spirals and spikes, you have to know that you will not only survive, but you will thrive. What do you do when you're thrown off balance? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Just when we think we have it all figured out, the unexpected happens, and suddenly we're left feeling lost and overwhelmed. It's during these challenging moments that you need to remind yourself of a simple but powerful truth: You can do this! In the face of adversity, it's easy to feel defeated and hopeless. It's easy to let doubt and fear creep in, clouding our judgment and making us question our abilities. But deep down, beneath the layers of uncertainty and fear, lies a reservoir of inner strength waiting to be tapped into. Do you feel that sometimes, but maybe not today? When the road ahead seems daunting and the odds are stacked against you, it's important to remember that resilience is not about avoiding challenges, but about facing them head-on. It's about acknowledging your fears and doubts, yet refusing to let them dictate your actions. It's about accepting that mistakes and setbacks are part of the journey, not the end of it. The K.I.S.S. ~ You can do this! So, if you are the one feeling tired and frustrated with life, know this: You are capable of overcoming whatever obstacles come your way. You have within you the power to rise above your circumstances and create the life you desire. Hence, create your now! Yes, the path may be rocky and the destination uncertain, but with unwavering determination, that resilience and belief in yourself, you can navigate through the storm and emerge stronger on the other side. It's not about waiting for the perfect moment or the right conditions; it's about seizing the present and making the most of every opportunity that comes your way. Your dreams are worth pursuing, and your goals are worth chasing. So, keep pushing forward, keep pushing through. You may not see the light at the end of the tunnel yet, but trust that it's there, guiding you towards a brighter tomorrow. In the midst of chaos and confusion, remember that you are not alone in this journey. Reach out to those who support and uplift you, draw strength from their words and presence. Surround yourself with positivity and hope, and let it fuel your determination to keep going, keep growing. Take a deep breath, gather your courage, and repeat after me: You can do this. You can do this. You can do this!! And you will. Believe in yourself, embrace the challenges, and watch as you transform your struggles into stepping stones towards a brighter, more promising future. The power to shape your destiny lies within you. Embrace it, own it, and soar towards your dreams, knowing that no obstacle is too great to overcome when you have faith in your heavenly Father and yourself. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6783524 Retreat from the Ripple EffectHealthy living is not something that comes with ease. Usually, there are more temptations and troubles before there is success and strength. Instead of sticking to the same ole patterns, retreat from the ripple effect. Don't you think it's time you make the changes needed for you to be healthy? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Life is way too short and precious! Amidst the chaos of our fast-paced lifestyles, it's easy to get caught up in unhealthy habits and neglect our well-being. But what if it's time to break free from this cycle, take a step back, and focus on creating a healthier version of yourself? "Healthy living is not something that comes with ease. Usually, there are more temptations and troubles before there is success and strength," says Kristianne Wargo. This sentiment rings true for many of us who struggle to prioritize our health in the midst of daily demands. It's time to make the changes needed for you to be healthy. This involves breaking free from old patterns and habits that no longer serve you. Instead of adhering to the status quo, it's essential to carve out a path that aligns with your well-being goals. "In this season of life, you have the opportunity to erase what hasn't worked and focus on what can be done now to create your now in healthy living." ~ Kristianne Wargo. Your health and well-being are paramount, and it's crucial to prioritize self-care without making excuses. The K.I.S.S. ~ Prioritize YOU!!! Now, you can look at the normal stuff that everyone talks about. 1. Mindful Eating: Instead of mindlessly consuming food, take the time to savor each bite. Listen to your body's hunger cues and opt for nourishing, whole foods that fuel your body. 2. Prioritize Movement: Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine, whether it's a brisk walk, yoga session, or dance class. Movement not only benefits your physical health but also boosts your mood and energy levels. 3. Practice Self-Care: Carve out time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, whether it's reading a book, taking a bubble bath, or meditating. Prioritizing self-care is essential for maintaining overall well-being. Certainly, there are some other actions that we don't think of immediately to prioritize your health and well-being. 1. Hydration Habits - Small Step: Start your day with a glass of water before consuming any other beverages or food. - Small Step: Carry a reusable water bottle with you throughout the day to ensure you stay hydrated. - Small Step: Set a goal to drink a certain amount of water each day and track your intake using a water tracker app. 2. Sleep Quality Improvement - Small Step: Establish a bedtime routine that includes winding down activities such as reading or meditating. - Small Step: Create a cool, dark, and quiet sleep environment to promote optimal rest. - Small Step: Limit screen time before bed and consider implementing a digital curfew to improve sleep quality. 3. Stress Management Strategies - Small Step: Incorporate daily mindfulness practices such as deep breathing exercises or meditation. - Small Step: Identify stress triggers and develop coping mechanisms such as journaling or talking to a trusted friend. - Small Step: Prioritize self-care activities that help reduce stress levels, such as taking a nature walk or engaging in a hobby you enjoy. As you embark on this journey towards a healthier you, remember this. "You matter. Stop making excuses and rise to the top of caring for yourself." ~ Kristianne Wargo By taking proactive steps to nurture your well-being, you can retreat from the ripple effect of unhealthy habits and create a positive ripple effect of wellness in your life.

- 6793523 Trust the JourneyWhy rush through life where you don't even enjoy what's right in front of you? Goals and change take time. Celebrate the small victories and learn from the big mishaps. It's all an adventure, so trust the journey. In the hustle and bustle of our modern lives, it's easy to fall into the trap of rushing from one task to another, one goal to the next, without pausing to appreciate the beauty of the present moment. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co We often find ourselves so focused on the destination that we forget to enjoy the journey that leads us there. But what if we shifted our perspective and learned to trust the journey? In this fast-paced world, patience can feel like a lost virtue. We want instant results, immediate gratification, and swift success. But true growth, meaningful change, and lasting achievements take time. The K.I.S.S. ~ Trust the journey! Every step, every stumble, every detour is part of the grand adventure of life. Instead of rushing through it, let's savor each moment, each experience, each lesson learned. Author and motivational speaker, Steve Maraboli, once said, "Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations." Embrace the bumps and bruises along the way, for they are what shape us and mold us into the resilient beings we are meant to be. Celebrate the small victories – the milestones reached, the obstacles overcome, the lessons absorbed – for they pave the way for the grand triumphs that lie ahead. As we navigate the twists and turns of our individual paths, let us remember the words of poet, Rainer Maria Rilke, who said, "Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final." Trust that the highs and lows, the joys and sorrows, the victories and defeats are all part of the tapestry of life that makes your journey uniquely yours. It is in the quiet moments of reflection, the tough challenges that test our resolve, and the unexpected turns that lead us to new horizons that we discover our true strength, courage, and resilience. Believe in the power of your dreams, in the impact you are destined to create, and in the limitless possibilities that await you. "Trust the journey, for within its twists and turns lies the power of transformation, the beauty of growth, and the joy of becoming the brightest expression of yourself." ~ Kristianne Wargo So, stand tall, embrace the unknown, and shine your light brightly as you navigate the adventure of a lifetime. Today is your day to trust the journey, for within it, your dreams come true. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 6803522 Is The Grass Greener On The Other Side?In a world where the pursuit of happiness is often equated with constantly seeking new experiences and possessions, it's easy to fall prey to the allure of 'is the grass greener on the other side.' Well, is it? We are bombarded with images of seemingly perfect lives on social media, tempting us to chase after what we don't have rather than appreciating what we do. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But what if the key to a fulfilling life isn't in constantly seeking novelty, but rather in cultivating contentment with what we already have? "It's easy to chase what you don't have. But what about going after what really works and not all the new shiny objects? You don't need everything to have a life well lived. But you do have to live in order to have a life," says Kristianne Wargo, a life coach and motivational speaker. What are you doing to go after your dreams? Are you constantly chasing new things? Are you trying to fit everything into one box? Are you saying yes to things that don't matter? Are you forgetting that you have the power to say no? These are questions worth pondering as we navigate the temptations of comparison and envy. Most people come to realize, perhaps a little too late, that the grass is not always greener on the other side. It's often a mirage, a perception of what we lack rather than a true reflection of what we gain. "No matter which side of grass you take, it all requires work." ~ Kristianne Wargo True happiness and fulfillment come from within, not from external circumstances or possessions. So, how do you see the green grass on your side, even if it's not really green? The K.I.S.S. ~ Treat your obstacles as opportunities! To resist the allure of the greener grass and stay focused on what truly matters, here are three things you can do: 1. Practice Gratitude: Take time each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for in your life. This simple practice can shift your focus from what you lack to what you have. For example, keeping a gratitude journal or starting each day with a gratitude meditation can help cultivate a sense of abundance and contentment. Use a JOY Jar to start your day with enthusiasm. 2. Set Clear Priorities: Define what is truly important to you and align your actions with your values. By setting clear priorities, you can avoid getting caught up in chasing after fleeting desires and stay focused on what ignites your passion. For instance, if spending quality time with your loved ones is a top priority, make sure to schedule regular family activities and protect that time from distractions. 3. Cultivate Mindfulness: Practice being present in the moment and appreciating the beauty of your current surroundings. Mindfulness can help you avoid getting caught up in comparison and worrying about what others have. Instead, it allows you to fully experience and enjoy the richness of your own life. Try incorporating mindfulness practices such as deep breathing exercises or mindful walks into your daily routine. As Kristianne Wargo aptly puts it, "It's more of a perception of what you can't have, rather than what you actually get." "Stay grounded in the reality of your own life and appreciate the true beauty of the grass beneath your feet. Remember, the grass is greener where you water it." ~ Kristianne Wargo So, next time you find yourself lured by the idea of greener pastures, take a moment to pause and appreciate the lushness of your own lawn. After all, true abundance is found not in constantly seeking more, but in embracing and nurturing what you already have. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6813521 Put Your YES On The TableThe gentle whisper of God's promises echoes throughout the pages of the Bible, urging you to put your YES on the table, to surrender to His will, and to trust in the path He has laid before you. But is your mind, body, and spirit ready for it? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Sometimes, we set the table for what we expect or know, leaving the possibilities buried deep within our own doubts and insecurities. But with God, anything is possible (Matthew 19:26). In a world where uncertainty seems to reign supreme, finding that comfort and confidence do not come from what you know, yet whose you are. "Walk by faith, not by sight" ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7 The K.I.S.S. ~ Put your YES on the table! In Jeremiah 29:11, it is written, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This is your reminder that God has a divine plan for you, His GPS (God's Positioning System) serving as a compass, guiding you toward a path filled with promise, purpose, passion, and presence. Walking by faith, not by sight, requires a leap of trust—a willingness to let go of our fears and doubts in exchange for God's divine guidance. Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths." Choosing to put your YES on the table is an act of unwavering trust in God's plan for your life. It is an acknowledgment that His design far surpasses your own limitations and that by surrendering to His will, you open yourself up to blessings beyond measure. In a world filled with distractions and temptations, it can be easy to lose sight of the path set before us. Romans 12:2 reminds us, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." Choosing to say YES to God's plan for our lives requires courage, faith, and a deep-rooted belief that His intentions for us are far greater than we could ever imagine. So, why not put your YES on the table? Show up for what God has divinely designed for you, and watch as He leads you toward a future filled with hope, purpose, and unending grace. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 6823520 Daily Is Better Than WeeklyThe daily grind can often overshadow the most important relationship in one's life - the marriage. Being present and connected in a marriage requires intentional effort and prioritizing each other. Daily is better than weekly. "You can't build a loving relationship without being present." ~ Kristianne Wargo Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But somehow, for some reason, couples think a great marriage just happens. You and I both know that's not the case. In fact, a great marriage always requires good work. So, what can you do to build a strong marriage? The K.I.S.S. ~ Strengthen your attraction! Here are three actionable steps to enhance your marriage and strengthen your connection on a daily basis. 1. Communicate Openly and Honestly Effective communication is key to a healthy marriage. Take time each day to talk to your spouse, sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This could include discussing your day, your dreams, or even your fears. Listening attentively and empathetically to your partner is equally important. For example, make it a point to have a 'check-in' conversation every evening before bed. Share one highlight of your day and one challenge you faced. This simple practice fosters communication and emotional intimacy. Additionally, schedule regular 'date nights' where you can focus solely on each other without distractions from work or technology. "Honest communication builds trust and intimacy in a marriage. It's the foundation of a strong relationship." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Prioritize Quality Time Together Spending quality time together strengthens the bond between spouses and creates lasting memories. Find activities that you both enjoy and make time for them regularly. This could be as simple as cooking a meal together, going for a walk, or watching a movie snuggled on the couch. Plan spontaneous gestures of love and appreciation to keep the romance alive. Surprise your partner with a heartfelt note, a small gift, or a spontaneous picnic in the park. These thoughtful acts show your spouse that they are valued and cherished. "Quality time is not about the quantity but the quality of moments shared together. It's in these moments that connections are deepened and love is nurtured." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Show Gratitude and Affection Expressing gratitude and affection towards your spouse reinforces the love and appreciation you have for each other. Regularly acknowledge the little things that your partner does and express gratitude for their presence in your life. Small gestures like saying "I love you," giving a hug, or holding hands can go a long way in affirming your bond. Create a gratitude journal where you both write down things you are grateful for about each other. This practice encourages a positive outlook and cultivates a spirit of thankfulness within the relationship. Remember to celebrate milestones, anniversaries, and achievements together to honor your journey as a couple. "Gratitude and affection are the fuel that keeps the flame of love burning in a marriage. Expressing love in words and actions strengthens the foundation of your relationship." ~ Kristianne Wargo Ultimately, daily investments in your marriage yield greater rewards than occasional grand gestures. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can deepen your connection with your spouse, build a thriving relationship, and create a lasting legacy of love and happiness.

Let's talk about something important today. It's about being present in your child's life. Yes, I'm talking to you, Mom and Dad. You have a crucial role in shaping your child's future, and it's time to step up and take responsibility. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Your child looks up to you for guidance, support, and wisdom. They need you to be there, not just physically but emotionally as well. So, when life throws curveballs, don't be caught off guard. Be prepared, be present, and be proactive. Remember, actions speak louder than words. Your child is watching and learning from you every day. So, it's essential to practice what you preach. Be the role model your child deserves. The K.I.S.S. ~ Practice what you preach! Think back to your own childhood. What did you need from your parents? What made you feel supported and loved? Tap into those memories and use them to connect with your own child. Here are three simple things you can do to stay connected with your child and keep them in the loop: 1. Spend Quality Time: Spend dedicated one-on-one time with your child regularly.

Show genuine interest and empathy when they talk to you. Your child needs to feel heard and understood. 3. Consistent Communication: Keep the lines of communication open.

"It's your responsibility to pay attention to what is happening in your child's life. So when life happens, don't be shocked." ~ Kristianne Wargo Take charge, be proactive, and be the parent your child needs. Remember, being a parent is an honor and a responsibility. Embrace it wholeheartedly and watch your relationship with your child blossom. Here's to being present, being engaged, and most importantly, being there for your child. Don't be shocked, be prepared!

- 6843518 Engage Your DayWhy sit back and let your day rule you? Life doesn't have to be filled with question marks, fear, and intimidation. However, it does require you to engage your day. Show up or be shipped out. As you fill your life with endless distractions and relentless demands, it's easy to feel like you're merely a passenger on the rollercoaster of life. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But what if you could shift gears and seize control of your day, instead of letting it control you? The key lies in one simple yet profound concept: engage your day! Each morning, as the sun peeks over the horizon and the day stretches out before you like a blank canvas, you have a choice. You can either passively drift through the hours, reacting to whatever comes your way, or you can actively engage with every moment, shaping your own story. Engaging your day isn't about having a rigid schedule or a detailed plan for every minute. It's about cultivating a mindset of intention and presence. It's about approaching each task, each interaction, each challenge with a sense of purpose and curiosity. It's about being fully present in the here and now to create your now, rather than getting lost in thoughts of the past or worries about the future. The K.I.S.S. ~ Engage your day! When you engage your day, you take ownership of your time and your energy. You no longer allow external circumstances or other people's priorities to dictate your agenda. Instead, you tune into your own inner compass, making conscious choices that align with your values and goals. Engagement breeds empowerment. As you become more attuned to the rhythm of your day, you'll start to notice opportunities that were previously hidden in plain sight. You'll discover moments of joy and connection that might have passed you by if you were simply going through the motions. You'll feel a sense of aliveness that can only come from living intentionally. CHALLENGE: How can you start engaging your day? Begin by setting an intention each morning. Take a few moments to reflect on what you want to create, experience, or learn during the hours ahead. It could be as simple as "I want to approach today with curiosity and openness" or as specific as "I want to complete that project I've been putting off." Throughout the day, check in with yourself regularly. Are you being mindful of your choices and actions, or are you on autopilot? Are you fully present in your conversations and tasks, or are you distracted by the chatter of your mind? By bringing awareness to your thoughts and behaviors, you can course-correct in real time and stay aligned with your intention. Engaging your day is a practice, not a destination. Some days will flow effortlessly, while others will present unexpected challenges. The key is to meet each moment with an open heart and a curious mind, knowing that you have the power to shape your experience in ways big and small. As you engage your day, you'll discover a newfound sense of vitality. Your days will be infused with purpose and passion, and you'll no longer be a bystander in your own life. So, what are you waiting for? It's time to engage your day and watch as the magic unfolds. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6853517 Stop Kicking YourselfHave you ever stopped to ponder why you'd eagerly stand in line for that mouth-watering dessert, but hesitate to commit to a life-saving habit? It's time to stop kicking yourself and hit the brakes on self-sabotage. You are made for more. And in order to start valuing your health, you have to break free from your own misery. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Self-sabotage can be insidious, creeping into our lives in subtle ways that hinder our growth and well-being. It's the voice in our heads that whispers doubt, the inertia that keeps us stuck in familiar but unfulfilling patterns. When you engage in self-sabotaging behaviors, you undermine your own progress and sabotage your chances of reaching your full potential. But why do we do this to ourselves? One reason for self-sabotage is a fear of change. Stepping out of our comfort zones and taking risks can be intimidating, even if those changes are positive. We may worry about failure, rejection, or the unknown, leading us to resist opportunities for growth. It's easier to stay in familiar, albeit unfulfilling, circumstances than to face the uncertainty of change. Another factor that contributes to self-sabotage is low self-esteem. When we don't believe in our own worth or capabilities, we may subconsciously sabotage our efforts to avoid confronting our insecurities. We undermine our own success because deep down, we may not feel deserving of happiness or achievement. Moreover, self-sabotage can stem from a lack of self-awareness. Without recognizing the patterns and behaviors that hold us back, we continue to repeat them, unaware of the negative impact they have on our lives. It's essential to cultivate mindfulness and reflection to identify self-sabotaging tendencies and work towards breaking free from them. Continuing to kick yourself through self-sabotage only leads to a cycle of misery and stagnation. You rob yourself of the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive, keeping you locked in patterns that prevent you from reaching your full potential. To break free from this destructive cycle, you must choose to stop kicking yourself and start championing your well-being. The K.I.S.S. ~ Champion your well-being! If you're searching for transformation, and if you're still reading, it's clear change is on your mind. So, let's cut to the chase and make a conscious choice to prioritize progress over procrastination, starting with being 1% better today than you were yesterday. Let's delve into actionable steps to help you stop kicking yourself and begin thriving in your journey toward a healthier lifestyle. 1. Mindful Nutrition Choices When it comes to eating healthily, it's not just about what you eat but how you eat it. Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, focusing on the flavors and textures of your food. Avoid distractions like screens or work during meals to better tune into your body's hunger and fullness cues. Remember, it's not just about the food on your plate but the experience of nourishing your body. "Don't eat junk food alone." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Prioritize Physical Movement Exercise shouldn't feel like a punishment but a celebration of what your body can do. Find an activity that brings you joy, whether it's dancing, hiking, or yoga. Instead of focusing on intense workouts for hours on end, aim for consistency and enjoyment in your movement routine. Schedule regular breaks during your workday for a quick stretching session or a brisk walk around the block. "Small bursts of activity can add up to significant health benefits." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Cultivate a Positive Mindset Take your thoughts captive. Your thoughts can shape your reality, so why not choose to uplift yourself with affirmations and gratitude? Start each day with positive intentions and affirmations to set the tone for a fulfilling day ahead. Now, don't lie to yourself; be honest. Practice self-compassion, though, and acknowledge your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. Surround yourself with a supportive community that encourages your growth and celebrates your progress. "Choose hard over easy, because when you're stretched, you're strengthened." ~ Kristianne Wargo True growth often lies outside our comfort zones. By embracing challenges and committing to small, consistent intentional improvements, you make a way for a healthier and happier you. So, stop kicking yourself and start championing your well-being today. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6863516 Slow the HustleToo many days and nights are filled with stuff that doesn't lead us anywhere except to a menu of frustration, distress, and anxious thoughts. Why do you keep burning the candle at both ends? At some point, you need to slow the hustle. How do you really feel when you wake up in the morning? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Are you finding that you are more likely to see the negative than the positive? Are you finding that what everyone else wants gets more attention than what you need? Life doesn't have to be an "all-in" effect. The hustle and bustle really should be left to Christmas. You know, the last-minute shopping for gifts and food, and prepping for the visit of family and friends. However, that's the life we live every day!! We are being programmed to be busy, even if it's mindless. Think about social media and reels. Then, you've got YouTube. Now, all of it in small chunks can be beneficial. But if it's stirring up this "busyness" syndrome within you, how is that really benefiting your every day? Frankly, it's NOT!!!! The K.I.S.S. ~ Slow the hustle! You have got to put the brakes on, and use your head. Stop letting technology and everyone else tell you what's right for you! At some point, when you wake up, ya gotta put on your big girl panties and set the stage for the life you want to live. Yes, you have to live responsibly. You have to pay your bills, take care of the family, and make a legitimate income. But that doesn't mean you allow yourself to be walked all over. That doesn't mean that you don't have boundaries. That doesn't mean that you don't have goals and dreams. You were created on purpose, for a heavenly and earthly purpose. Don't let others tell you differently. You get to decide. However, in order for you to decide, you have to slow the hustle. Or you will miss what's right in front of you! Picture this: you wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and energized, ready to take on the day. Instead of immediately reaching for your phone to check emails and social media notifications, you take a few moments to breathe deeply, savoring the stillness and quiet of the early morning. You set an intention for the day ahead, focusing on what truly matters to you and what will bring a smile to your heart. As you go about your day, you approach each task with mindfulness and presence. Instead of multitasking and rushing through your to-do list, you give each activity your full attention, savoring the process and finding joy in the journey.

- 6873515 How to Overcome What You Don't KnowFear is a real thing. And fear holds you back from living your dream. What if you could learn how to overcome what you don't know, so you can do what you're meant to do? You are made for more! People fight fear daily. They lean into it more rather than attempt to divert themselves by doing what they do know. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Lately, I've been doing what is right in front of me. No overthinking or overwhelming my thoughts. Simply looking at what needs to be done next. That breeds clarity in the to-do list, because there isn't one. It's simply doing what's next, and then rinse and repeat. Our minds can overcomplicate things, to the point of shutting our minds off due to the fact that we don't like change and prefer routine, even if that routine holds us back. At some point, we have to get it through our thick skulls that life is simpler than we make it. The K.I.S.S. ~ Do what's next! 1. PRESENCE Do what is right in front of you. Don't try to make things worse than they are. Don't try to make things more complicated. Don't try to over-dramatize life. Do what's next! 2. CLARITY Know where you are going. Clarity is your internal battery for your GPS system. If you know what you want, then you know what's next. And that gives you a simple next step. No complications. Just clarity. 3. ACTION Take A.I.M on what's next. Action ignites motivation. This is what keeps you going. Instead of fussing over how much you have to do, go do it! There are no excuses or thoughts to bog you down. Just an attitude to hit the ground running. If you were to focus on presence, clarity, and action, where do you think you would be by the end of the week? Well, I can tell you that you'll be further along than where you are right now. There's no time like the present! "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6883514 Win the Prize"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13-14)." In a world full of distractions and uncertainties, it can be easy to get caught up in the past, letting it dictate today which affects our tomorrow. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The Bible verse Philippians 3:13-14 serves as a powerful reminder to keep moving forward, focusing on the journey ahead rather than being stuck in what has already transpired. "If you're always focusing on what transpired yesterday, there won't be any transactions tomorrow." ~ Kristianne Wargo The apostle Paul's words resonate with a timeless truth that applies to people from all walks of life. He acknowledges that he has not yet reached his ultimate goal, but he remains steadfast in his pursuit, determined to win the prize that God has set before him. His mindset of resilience, perseverance, and unwavering faith is the lighthouse for those seeking to navigate the challenges of life. Be encouraged to let go of past regrets, failures, and disappointments that may hinder your progress. Instead, fix your gaze on the future, embracing the divine purpose here on earth that awaits you. The call to "press on toward the goal" is a call to action, a call to step out in faith and trust that God is leading us toward something more significant. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Win the prize! For many, the idea of letting go of the past can seem impossible. It requires a willingness to confront your fears, insecurities, and doubts head-on. It demands that you set aside your excuses and take ownership of your journey. But in doing so, you open yourself up to a world of Heavenly possibilities, where God's plan unfolds in ways you could have never imagined. So, as we reflect on what Paul wrote, be inspired to break free from the chains of yesterday and embrace the promise of a better tomorrow. Seize each new day as an opportunity to grow, learn, and evolve. Trust in God's divine timing and guidance, knowing that He has a purpose for you that is waiting to be fulfilled. May you find the courage to leave what isn't yours to take today, so you can take A.I.M. on what comes, Lord willing, tomorrow, and courageously accept God's adventure for you. There, in the journey ahead, win the prize for which God has called you heavenward in Christ Jesus – a life lived in alignment with His will and a soul at peace in His loving embrace. "Be present.

- 6893513 Sorry, Not SorryAs the years pass for married couples, a subtle yet highly impactful dynamic often emerges--the issue of keeping score. While you might say 'sorry,' a whisper screams loudly in your head, "Sorry, not sorry." But what toll does this subtle scoreboard mentality take on a relationship? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co And how can we shift this paradigm to foster growth and authentic connection within our unions? How do you say you're sorry? "Sorry is not just a word; it's an action!" ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Make 'sorry' an action! Here are three vital steps a spouse can take to truly understand the essence of saying sorry, and to align actions with intentions: 1. Embrace Vulnerability: Rather than viewing apologies as a sign of weakness or surrender, consider them as the ultimate display of vulnerability and strength within a relationship. "Apologies pave the way for genuine communication and connection between spouses." ~ Kristianne Wargo For instance, when addressing a past mistake, instead of offering a generic apology, delve deeper into the emotions behind the action. By articulating feelings and acknowledging their impact on your partner, you can lay the foundation for authentic reconciliation. 2. Practice Active Listening: Apologies lose their efficacy when NOT accompanied by active listening. Mirroring your partner's sentiments and validating their feelings can transform a superficial apology into a meaningful exchange. "Listening is the bridge that connects two hearts." ~ Kristianne Wargo Take the time to sincerely listen to your partner's perspective without interruptions or defensiveness. By demonstrating empathy and understanding, you can enhance the healing power of your apology and establish a mutual sense of respect within the relationship. 3. Cultivate Forgiveness: True apologies and forgiveness are intertwined in the intricate tapestry of relationships. In the context of marital conflicts, forgiveness plays a pivotal role in moving beyond grievances and building a foundation of trust. By actively practicing forgiveness, both spouses can liberate themselves from the shackles of resentment and foster a climate of empathy and grace in their relationship. "Forgiveness is not a one-time act, but a continuous choice to release resentment, embrace reconciliation, and build trust." ~ Kristianne Wargo The art of saying sorry transcends mere words; it embodies a profound commitment to vulnerability, empathy, and forgiveness. By embracing these principles in our interactions with our spouses, we get to escape the confines of keeping score and cultivate a marriage grounded in mutual understanding and growth. "Authentic apologies are not merely spoken – they are felt, understood, and lived well." Strive to embody the essence of real apologies in your marriage, where saying sorry is not a mere phrase but a heartfelt expression of love and respect. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6903512 Is Tough Love Still Relevant?As a parent, have you ever wondered if tough love truly works? In today's society, there seems to be a shift towards being more of a friend to your child rather than a responsible parent. Is tough love still relevant? Is tough love really effective in shaping a child's character and future? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co "It's natural for parents to want to be their child's friend, but tough love means guiding them towards becoming who they were created to be." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's striking that balance between showing love and providing discipline. Tough love is not about being harsh or unkind to your child. It is about setting boundaries, instilling values, and teaching important life lessons. "Children need structure and guidance to thrive in the world. Tough love helps them develop resilience and character." ~ Kristianne Wargo Parenting with tough love involves showing compassion, grace, and discipline in equal measures. Compassion allows you to connect with your child on an emotional level, understanding their struggles and joys. Grace provides forgiveness and acceptance, creating a safe space for growth. Discipline sets boundaries and expectations, teaching responsibility and accountability. "Walking the fine line between being a friend and a parent can be challenging, but it is essential for your child's development." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Walk the fine line! And that fine line is the balance between love and discipline, tough love--And that's where parents can raise children who are confident, resilient, and compassionate individuals. 1. STRONG VALUES Teaching them the importance of honesty, respect, and empathy builds a foundation for ethical decision-making. Instill moral principles and ethics in children from a young age. Parents can lead by example and reinforce these values through daily interactions and activities. Example: Encouraging a child to apologize when they have done something wrong teaches them the value of accountability and respect for others. Praise them when they show kindness to a classmate or share their toys, reinforcing the importance of empathy and generosity. 2. EXCEPTIONAL CONFIDENCE Encouraging them to believe in themselves and their abilities fosters self-assurance and ambition, which gives them reassurance when they question themselves between their two ears. Parents can help boost their child's self-esteem by providing encouragement, celebrating their achievements, and offering constructive feedback. Encouraging them to try new things and embrace challenges can help develop a growth mindset and resilience. Example: If a child expresses interest in joining a sports team but feels nervous about trying out, parents can support them by attending practices, cheering them on, and reminding them of their strengths. By empowering them to face their fears and take risks, parents can help build their confidence and courage. 3. RIGOROUS RHYTHMS Establishing routines and boundaries creates a sense of security, structure, and stability, nurturing a sense of discipline and responsibility. Example: Creating a daily routine that includes designated study time, outdoor playtime, family meals, and bedtime rituals can help children feel secure and grounded. Consistency in these rhythms allows children to anticipate and prepare for each part of their day, reducing stress and promoting a sense of order in their lives. "Parenting is a journey that requires patience, understanding, and unwavering love. Tough love may not always be easy, but it is a powerful tool in shaping your child's future." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing tough love with compassion and discipline, parents can empower their children to become who they are created to be and thrive in a complex world. Tough love remains a valuable and effective parenting strategy in nurturing well-rounded and resilient children. By blending love, discipline, and guidance, parents can cultivate a strong foundation for their child's future success and happiness. Embrace tough love with an open heart and a clear vision for your child's growth and development. "Parenting with tough love means guiding your child with a firm hand and a gentle heart." - Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6913411 Think Inside the BoxSometimes, we can get entangled with all the shiny new objects: the squirrel syndrome. But if you think inside the box, then your action steps might not be as complicated and overwhelming as what you conjured up in your mind. In a world constantly pushing for bigger, better, and faster, the idea of thinking inside the box may seem counterintuitive. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co We're bombarded with messages telling us to reach for the stars, think outside the box, and never settle for anything less than extraordinary. And while ambition and drive are crucial for success, there's something to be said for embracing the power of limitations and finding creativity within constraints. Why keep reinventing the wheel? Just make it better! How often do we find ourselves chasing after the next big thing, convinced that our happiness and fulfillment lie just beyond our current reach? It's the classic case of the squirrel syndrome, endlessly searching for the elusive nut that always seems just out of grasp. But what if, instead of constantly looking outward for solutions and opportunities, we turned our gaze inward, to the confines of our own metaphorical box? Our minds are masters of deception, tricking us into believing that success and satisfaction can only be found in the grand gestures and monumental achievements. Yes--our mind plays tricks on us. So how is it tricking you? But the truth is, true progress often comes from the small, seemingly mundane steps we take each day. It's not about doing what we wish we could do, but rather about focusing on what can be done now in the present moment. Create your now! The K.I.S.S. ~ Think inside the box! By embracing the concept of thinking inside the box, you free yourself from the burden of unrealistic expectations and unattainable goals. You shift your perspective from the overwhelming complexities of grand plans to the simplicity of actionable tasks that move you forward one step at a time. It's about how you create your now, making the most of the resources and opportunities available to you in the present moment. CHALLENGE: What can you do NOW? The next time you find yourself caught up in the relentless pursuit of perfection and progress, take a moment to pause and consider the power of thinking inside the box. You may just find that the answers you've been searching for have been right in front of you all along. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 6923510 Because Your Body Needs ItAre you looking for a quick fix to a healthy lifestyle that works according to your definition? Well, what about what your body needs? Take the time to research and renew because your body needs it. Living a healthy lifestyle is a journey that many aspire to embark on, yet the abundance of information available can often lead to confusion and overwhelm. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In a world where quick fixes and instant gratification reign supreme, it's easy to fall into the trap of seeking immediate results without considering the long-term implications. Picture this: you've tried countless diets, workout plans, and wellness trends, only to find yourself back at square one, unsure of what step to take next. The cycle of trial and error can be discouraging, leaving you feeling defeated and uncertain about how to proceed on your path to better health. But what if I told you that there is a way to break free from this cycle and discover a sustainable approach to healthy living that is personalized to your needs? Would you be willing? It's time for some R 'n R! The K.I.S.S. ~ Research and renew! 1. Self-Reflection Take a moment to reflect on your past health and wellness endeavors. What has worked for you in the past? What hasn't? By analyzing your successes and failures, you can tailor your future approach to better suit your needs. Perhaps you discovered that certain dietary restrictions left you feeling deprived and unmotivated, or that high-intensity workouts caused more harm than good to your body. These reflections are not meant to dwell on past failures but rather to learn from them and use that knowledge to shape a more effective plan moving forward. For example, if you found that meal prepping worked well for you in the past, consider incorporating it back into your routine. "Self-reflection is key to understanding what truly works for your body and mind." - Kristianne Wargo. 2. Explore New Options Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and explore new avenues for health and wellness. Research different exercise routines, diets, medical advancements, naturopath programs, or mindfulness practices that you may have never considered before. Trying something new can reignite your passion for living a healthy life. Imagine delving deep into your journey and uncovering hidden gems of wisdom that have the power to transform your health for the better. Through introspection and analysis, you can tailor your approach to healthy living in a way that resonates with your unique lifestyle and preferences. For instance, if you've always been curious about Pilates but have never tried it, sign up for a class or watch tutorials online. "Your body is a reflection of your choices, and by understanding what truly nourishes and uplifts it, you can pave the way for lasting vitality and well-being." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Personalized Approach Remember that everyone's body is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. Focus on creating a personalized plan that is tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Whether it's working with a nutritionist, naturopath, personal trainer, or wellness coach, seeking professional guidance can help you develop a customized health regimen. "Your health journey should be as unique as you are. Embrace your individuality and tailor your approach accordingly." - Kristianne Wargo. So, I invite you to pause, take a breath, and dive into the depths of your health journey with a renewed sense of purpose and determination. Your quest for optimal health is not just about following the latest trends or conforming to societal norms; it's about honoring your mind, body, and spirit in a way that is authentic and sustainable. Embrace who you are and who you are becoming. Because you matter, it's time to create your now! "Be present. Be incredible.

Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, it's not going to happen sitting on the couch. It's not going to happen crying in the shower. It's not going to happen complaining about all you have to do. It's not going to happen cursing at the drivers. It's not going to happen cringing about what you can't do. Why not take it little by little? You've got what it takes. But just as excuses lead you in one direction, so does choosing actions to go in another direction. You get to decide, little by little! The K.I.S.S. ~ Little by little! What do you want out of life? What are you wanting less of? What are you wanting more of? 1. Create a Clear Vision Define your dream with clarity, painting a detailed picture of where you want to go and what you want to achieve. "Dream big but start small. Break down your vision into achievable steps." ~ Kristianne Wargo By setting a clear goal, you can better define the necessary actions needed to turn your dreams into reality. 2. Develop Consistent Habits Success is not just about making grand gestures; it's about the daily grind and grit, and the commitment to progress. "It's the little daily wins that lead to the big victories." ~ Kristianne Wargo Establishing positive habits and routines that align with your goals can significantly contribute to your success journey. Whether it's dedicating time each day to work on your dream or taking proactive steps toward self-improvement, consistency is key. 3. Embrace Resilience Chasing your dreams is not always smooth sailing. There will be setbacks, challenges, and moments of doubt along the way. However, resilience is the key to overcoming these obstacles. "Embrace the setbacks as opportunities for a comeback, to learn and grow.

- 6953507 You Are Enough!In moments of despair, it's easy to fall into the trap of self-doubt and insecurity. The whispers of inadequacy can become deafening, drowning out the faint voice within that knows the truth – You are enough. Life's challenges may leave us feeling lost and disconnected from our purpose, but it is in these moments of deep struggle that our faith is truly tested. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The book of Psalms reminds us that "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). In the midst of chaos, when hope seems like a distant memory, it is important to hold on to this truth – God is with you, guiding you through the storm. The Apostle Paul's words in Romans 8:38-39 offer a powerful reminder of God's unconditional love for us: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." You may feel separated, but you need to know and hear that you are not! The K.I.S.S. ~ You are enough! Because God is enough! He chose you, and chooses you every day! It is essential to remember that our worth is not defined by our circumstances or by the world's standards. Our worth is rooted in God's unchanging love and grace. As the prophet Isaiah writes, "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). When discouragement creeps in and despair threatens to overwhelm us, let us cling to the promise that God's love is greater than our shortcomings and failures. Embrace the truth that you are enough, not because of what you do or achieve, but because of whose you are in the eyes of your Creator. As you navigate through the valleys of life, hold on to the knowledge that you are a beloved child of God, worthy of love and belonging. May this truth anchor your soul in the midst of life's storms. May you be rooted in His truth that He loves you so much that He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross for you (John 3:16). And may the peace that passes all understanding be the assurance that you are indeed enough, because God is enough! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 6963506 Choose Love Over NumbnessHas your marriage become somewhat boring? There is love, but it doesn't feel the same. The spark is so-so. The kisses are little pecks. The time in bed is just alright. It's time to choose love over numbness. Couples get bogged down and bamboozled by life. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co How unfair is it to both of you to remain disconnected in a connected relationship--because that's what you're in? And when you are in the moment, you are exhausted and flustered because the day hasn't gone as well as it should have. Why do you let the results of your day influence the intimacy of your marriage? It's understandable that life gets in the way. But life will always be life. There will be issues with the kids, bills to pay, and responsibilities at home and in your community. There will be times in your career that interfere with what you want to do. Vacation may not always be an option. Health will challenge you at some point, whether weight or illness. However, that doesn't mean you leave behind your spouse. Your vows were for better or worse. It makes absolutely no sense to numb out because life happens to you. Take life and run with conviction to choose love regardless of the life's results. So what can you do to choose love over numbness? Reignite the flames of love. The K.I.S.S. ~ Reignite the flames of love! The once fiery passion may dwindle into a little more than routine pecks and lukewarm embraces. Yet, you can break free from the numbness and reignite the flames of love. The complacency does not have to continue. You get to champion your marriage. Don't settle. When you fell in love, you didn't settle. So why start now? In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's all too easy for exhaustion and frustration to seep into the cracks of a marriage, dampening the flame that once burned brightly between two hearts. But why should the challenges of the day dictate the level of intimacy between partners? What does it look like to reignite the flames of love? 1. SHAKE UP THE NUMBNESS Prioritize Quality Time Make a conscious effort to carve out dedicated quality time for each other amidst the chaos of everyday life. Whether it's a weekly date night, a spontaneous weekend getaway, or simply snuggling on the couch without distractions, prioritizing quality time together strengthens the bond between partners. "Love is a choice. Love is a verb. It's choosing to prioritize and take action in your relationship above all else, even when life gets chaotic." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. INFUSE WITH KINDNESS Communicate Openly and Honestly Effective communication lies at the heart of any successful relationship. Take the time to truly actively listen to each other, express your feelings openly, and address any issues that may be causing distance between you. Honest communication fosters understanding and allows both of you to feel heard and valued. "Don't let silence breed space. Speak your heart, listen intently, and let love bridge the gap." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. INTENTIONALLY LIGHT THE FLAME Reignite the Passion Don't let the flame of passion flicker out in your marriage. Find creative ways to reignite the spark, whether it's through spontaneous gestures, heartfelt gestures of love, or exploring new experiences together. Keep the element of surprise alive and nurture the physical and emotional intimacy between you. "Passion fuels love. Let spontaneity and romance breathe life into your marriage, keeping the flames burning bright." ~ Kristianne Wargo When you choose love over numbness, it will require intention, effort, and a willingness to prioritize your marriage above all else. As you take the time to be together, that's where the numbness fades, and you get to play! "Be present. Be incredible.
