  1. 8653337 How Do You Raise Compassionate Children in a Self-Centered World?In a society that often values individualism and self-interest, it can be challenging for parents to raise children who exhibit kindness and empathy toward others. How do you raise compassionate children in a self-centered world? As parents, we must instill these values early on and actively nurture them as our children grow. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Teaching kindness goes beyond just manners; it involves fostering a genuine concern for others and a willingness to help and support those in need. It's doing what the average person wouldn't do; going above and beyond. I have a great friend, mentor, coach, you name it, he's it-- But his goal this year is to give away $100 every day. And he is including his kiddos in that so they understand the message of kindness. We can impact the world we touch in a manner that is respectful and kind regardless of who stands in front of us. So what are you doing to teach your child kindness? Are you showing them with your own actions toward them? Or are you mean and fussy with people most of the time? It's important to examine ourselves before we attempt to instill behaviors in others, especially our children. As you consider how you want your child to act, be sure to consider how you act. You can teach an old dog new tricks. So start from the beginning. The K.I.S.S. ~ Start from the beginning! Too often, we lead with the idea that we have to do what we have been doing. We get stuck in our ways and continue down the same path. For your tree to grow, you have to prune it from the bottom up—that's caring for it from the foundation. There's a time for everything and a season for every activity (Ecclesiastes 3:1). 'Tis the season to prune and build a strong foundation for your child to serve in their unique capacity. Here are three specific strategies parents can implement to encourage kindness in their children and shape their understanding of what it truly means to be kind: 1. Imitate What You Want to See: Children learn through observation and imitation. By modeling acts of kindness and compassion in your own behavior, you are setting a powerful example for your children to follow. Whether it's helping a neighbor in need, volunteering in the community, or simply showing empathy toward others, your actions speak louder than words. As parenting expert Kristianne Wargo wisely noted, "Children are like sponges; they absorb the world around them. By embodying the values of kindness and compassion ourselves, we are teaching our children to do the same." 2. Teach Your Child to Ask, "How are you feeling?": Empathy is at the core of kindness. Parents can nurture empathy in their children by encouraging them to consider the feelings and perspectives of others. This can be done through open communication, discussing emotions, and actively listening to their thoughts and concerns. Children develop a stronger sense of empathy towards others by fostering an understanding of different experiences and promoting compassion. Research by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that children who have been raised to be empathetic are more likely to engage in prosocial behaviors, such as sharing, helping, and cooperating with others. Cultivating empathy in children is a key ingredient in shaping their kindness towards others. 3. Create a Gratitude Jar: Gratitude and generosity are essential to kindness. Parents can cultivate these qualities in their children by practicing gratitude rituals, such as keeping a gratitude jar or journal for expressing thanks for acts of kindness. Encouraging children to give back to their community through volunteering or acts of generosity also reinforces the importance of caring for others. In the words of parenting author L.R. Knost, "It's not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It's our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless." By instilling values of gratitude and generosity, parents empower their children to make a positive impact on those around them. In conclusion, raising kind children in a self-centered world requires intentionality, consistency, and a dedication to nurturing qualities of empathy, compassion, and generosity. By implementing these strategies and fostering a culture of kindness in the home, parents can equip their children with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of the world with empathy and grace. Remember, as Kristianne Wargo wisely puts it, "Kindness begins at home, but its ripple effect can change the world." "Be present. Be incredible.

  2. 8663336 Choose the Imperfect PathIn the midst of life's chaos and uncertainties, the perfect path may seem elusive. But what if the key to success lies in embracing imperfection and navigating the journey with resilience and determination? Choose the imperfect path! Renowned author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins once aptly said, "Where focus goes, energy flows." Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  This resonates deeply with the idea of choosing the imperfect path. By directing our focus towards our goals, even amidst imperfections and setbacks, we allow our energy to flow towards progress and growth. As Zig Ziglar wisely noted, "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." Taking that first step, no matter how imperfect or uncertain, propels us forward on our path to success. It's about embracing imperfection as part of the process and understanding that each small step contributes to the bigger picture. The K.I.S.S. ~ Choose the imperfect path! In the words of Kristianne Wargo, "The road to success is not a straight line; it's a passionate zigzag of failures and victories that leads to progress in the pursuit of your purpose." Choosing the imperfect path means accepting the ups and downs, the failures and successes, as integral parts of the journey towards realizing our dreams. To the weary soul struggling to keep their eyes open and focus on the main thing, remember that imperfection is not a roadblock but a stepping stone towards growth. Embrace the challenges, stay focused, and watch as your dreams manifest into reality. Your imperfections make you uniquely equipped to navigate the path to success with authenticity and purpose. So, choose the imperfect path with courage and determination. Embrace the journey, celebrate the victories, and grow through the failures. Success is not about perfection; it's about resilience, perseverance, and the willingness to choose the imperfect path toward your dreams. "Be present. Be incredible.

  3. 8673335 When Your Food Smiles BackWe all know the saying, "You are what you eat," but have you ever stopped to think about how your body responds to the food you consume? So when your food smiles back, you are eating for your body. Your overall health and well-being can significantly impact your life and how you live it. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  And when you eat, it's not just about filling your stomach; it's about nourishing your body from the inside out. What was the last food you put in your mouth? Was it fruits and vegetables? Oh, wait—maybe something processed in a box or wrapper. Or could you have drunk your calories with that sugary sweet nectar? We have to know what we're eating, when we're eating, and why we're eating if we want to impact our overall health. The K.I.S.S. ~ You are what you eat! Let's explore the concept of "When Your Food Smiles Back" and how you can discover what foods work best for your body. 1. Be Mindful of How You Feel Take note of how different foods make you feel after you eat them. Do you feel energized and satisfied, or do you experience bloating and fatigue? Paying attention to these signals can help you identify which foods your body thrives on. As nutritionist Mary Smith suggests, "Understanding the connection between what you eat and how you feel is key to eating for your body." 2. Keep a Food Journal Keeping a food journal can be a powerful tool in discovering what works for your body. Jot down what you eat each day and how you feel afterward. This practice can help you recognize patterns and pinpoint foods that may not agree with you. As health coach Sarah Johnson notes, "A food journal can provide valuable insights into your unique dietary needs and help you make informed choices." 3. Experiment with Different Foods Don't be afraid to step out of your culinary comfort zone and try new foods. Experimenting with a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins can help you diversify your diet and uncover hidden gems that your body loves. According to chef and food writer Julia Adams, "Exploring different cuisines and ingredients can open up a world of possibilities for finding foods that truly nourish your body." "In the journey of health, the language of food speaks volumes when your body smiles back at you." - Kristianne Wargo Remember, eating for your body is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It's about listening to your body's cues and honoring its unique needs. By being mindful, keeping a food journal, and experimenting with different foods, you can unlock the secret to optimal health and vitality. "Be present. Be incredible.

  4. 8683334 Dare to Dream the UnimagineableIn a world where limitations often dictate our paths, there exists a pure essence of astonishment waiting to be unlocked within each of us. Dare to dream the unimagineable. Strive for the unattainable; that is where the magic lies. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Yet, how does one muster the audacity to transcend the borders of convention? How does one defy the odds stacked high against them and triumph in the face of adversity? The answer, my friend, lies not in the search for the possible but in the conviction that impossibility is merely a mirage. "The only limits that exist are the ones we allow to define us." - Kristianne Wargo Some may argue that the impossible is a notion crafted by the faint-hearted, a mantra of the disillusioned. Yet, amidst the cacophony of skepticism, there exists a symphony of believers, whispering tales of the extraordinary, stories of those who dared to chase the impossible and caught it by the tail. As Walt Disney once proclaimed, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." A sentiment echoed in the hearts of dreamers, visionaries, and pioneers throughout history. For it is in the realm of the impossible that true innovation takes root, where the seeds of greatness are sown, watered by resilience, and nurtured by unwavering faith. The K.I.S.S. ~ Dare to dream the unimagineable! "The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." - Arthur C. Clarke So, when the weight of doubt bears heavily upon your shoulders, when the whispers of naysayers cloud your vision, remember this: impossibility is but a construct of the mind, a barrier waiting to be shattered by the force of determination, by the power of belief. "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee In every corner, there exists a spark of greatness flickering within each of us, a flame waiting to be ignited by the winds of courage, fueled by the embers of perseverance. So, I beg you, do not shy away from the impossible, for within its shadow lies the light of endless possibilities waiting to be claimed by those audacious enough to reach for the stars. "In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take." - Lewis Carroll Are you ready to make a choice for a chance to reach for the stars? Embrace the impossible, for it is in the pursuit of the unimaginable that you discover your truest self, your deepest passion, and your most profound purpose. Let your dreams be your guiding stars, your North in a sea of uncertainty, and remember: nothing is impossible to those who dare to believe. "The only limits that exist are the ones we allow to define us." - Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

  6. 8703332 The Lord's Word is FlawlessAs for God, His way is perfect: The Lord's word is flawless; He shields all who take refuge in Him. ~ Psalm 18:30 Imagine a life in which you surrender to the wisdom and sovereignty of the Almighty instead of clinging desperately to control. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  A life where you release the burdens of decision-making and embrace the peace that comes from knowing that God's way is perfect. We open ourselves to a profound transformation when we acknowledge that the Lord's word is flawless. By relinquishing control to God, we invite His divine guidance into every aspect of our lives. We cease to rely solely on our limited understanding and instead lean on His infinite wisdom. Through prayer and reflection on His Word, we find comfort in knowing His plans for us are far greater than we could ever imagine (Jeremiah 29:11). The K.I.S.S. ~ The Lord's Word is flawless! In our everyday routine, giving control to God means letting go of worry and anxiety, as we trust that He is shielding us and guiding our steps. It means approaching challenges with faith and courage, knowing that His promises are true and His love never fails (Romans 8:28). It means finding joy in the midst of uncertainty, as we rest in the assurance that His way is always perfect.  "Surrendering control to God is not a sign of weakness, but a testament to our faith in His flawless plan for our lives." ~ Kristianne Wargo May you all be inspired to let go of the illusion of control and embrace the abundant blessings of taking refuge in Him. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:5-6 "Be present. Be incredible.

  7. 8713331 What If You Said Yes?In marriage, it's not uncommon to reach a point where taking the next step feels impossible. Change can be uncomfortable, and staying in familiar territory is easier. But what if you said yes? Sometimes saying yes to something new can lead to growth and strengthening the bond with your partner. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  If you really stop and think about it, a thriving marriage is the foundation to an incredible life; a story you get to write every day. But, unfortunately, we hang out too long in our comfort zones; the pain that straps us to the chair of conflict, the hurt that divides our hearts; the anger that repels the opportunity for emotional healing. Where are you in crossing the road in your marriage? Are you the one standing on one side, just watching as everything goes by? Are you the one standing on that same side struggling to get across quickly so you can move on? Or are you the one who is standing on one side, looking side to side, strategizing when it's the best time to cross to get to the other side? Depending on the season you're in, you're the one who is complacent and waiting for life to happen to you. Or you might be in the season of rush just wanting to get it done, whatever it is. Or-- you might be in that season where what matters is your reason. The K.I.S.S. ~ What if you said yes! Stop playing the mind games. Stop dragging your feet trying to convince yourself of your next step. Just ask, "What if I said yes?" What if I was willing to put in the work? What if I found a coach or counselor that understood my position and not only helped me, but in doing so, impacted my marriage and family. What if I said yes? Here are three things a spouse can do to consider taking the next step toward a better marriage: 1. Communicate openly: Start by having an honest conversation with yourself first! Then, invite a trusted confidant to listen to where you are. Finally, when the time is right, you can invite your spouse into the conversation and share your concerns, desires, and fears. By opening up about where you stand and listening to all sides and directions, you can gain clarity and understanding. Remember, communication is key in any relationship. 2. Take a Chance: We can do everything right in our heads, but what about our actions? So take that chance to do what's right in this season. Now, don't do it haphazardly. Use your head and your heart, and with well thought out guidance. In other words, kick anger to the curb, don't take anger with you. Anger is not your decision-maker. 3. Create a New Butt Print: In other words, step out of your comfort zone. Embracing change often requires taking risks. Don't be afraid to try new activities, make compromises, or invest time and effort into improving your relationship. Keep in mind that growth rarely happens within the confines of your comfort zone. As Kristianne Wargo wisely said, "A risk taken is only a risk if it fails. Otherwise, it's wisdom in motion." Embrace the unknown and trust that taking steps towards positive change can lead to a brighter future for yourself, with your spouse, and for your family. Remember, love is an ongoing journey that requires effort, commitment, and the willingness to evolve together. Don't let fear hold you back from saying yes to a happier, healthier marriage. "When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too." - Paulo Coelho What if you said yes? "Be present.

  8. 8723330 How Are You Guiding Your Child?Navigating the complex terrain of parenting isn't for the faint of heart. It requires a delicate balance of nurturing guidance, respect, and establishing crucial boundaries. How are you guiding your child? As a parent, you may often face the challenge of watching your child make decisions that deviate from what you know is best for them. While it's natural for children to test their wings and assert their independence, guiding them toward making wise choices and understanding the importance of boundaries is essential. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Author and parenting expert Dr. Haim Ginott said, "Children are like wet cement; whatever falls on them makes an impression." This quote succinctly captures the profound impact that parental guidance and boundaries can have on shaping children's character and behavior. By establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries, parents can instill values, foster self-discipline, and cultivate respect in their children. Another insightful quote comes from Brene Brown, a renowned researcher and author, who stated, "Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind." This emphasizes the importance of clear communication and setting expectations with children regarding boundaries. Parents can help children understand the importance of respect and accountability by clearly defining boundaries and the consequences of crossing them. The K.I.S.S. ~ Establish boundaries that protect your child! As a parent myself, I believe that establishing boundaries with children is not about control but about creating a safe and nurturing environment for growth and development. Here are three key strategies to help parents effectively establish boundaries while respecting their child's autonomy: 1. Consistent Communication: Engage in open and honest discussions with your child about the importance of boundaries. Explain why certain rules exist and allow them to express their thoughts and feelings. By fostering open communication, you can create a mutual understanding and respect for boundaries. 2. Lead by Example: Children learn by observing their parents' behavior. Model the boundaries and values you wish to instill in your child through your own actions and decisions. Show respect towards others, uphold your commitments, and demonstrate the importance of self-discipline. 3. Encourage Independence: While setting boundaries is crucial, giving your child room to make choices and learn from their experiences is essential. Encourage independence by allowing them to make age-appropriate decisions and supporting them in taking responsibility for their actions. Establishing boundaries with your child is a cornerstone of effective parenting. By setting clear expectations, fostering open communication, and leading by example, parents can cultivate a supportive environment that promotes growth and self-awareness in their children. Remember, boundaries are not limitations but safeguards that nurture respect, autonomy, and personal development. "Boundaries guide us, protect us, and allow us to thrive in a world of limitless possibilities." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

  9. 8733329 Thread a Day of HopeAs author C.S. Lewis once said, "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." You can thread a day of hope using your challenges not as barriers, but as stepping stones. Unfortunately, obstacles often present themselves as roadblocks, testing our resilience and resolve. It's easy to let past hardships color our present circumstances, clouding our vision of what lies ahead. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  However, there are new mercies every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Each day offers a new opportunity to rewrite your story, to embrace the unknown with courage and conviction. By reframing your thoughts and choosing how to respond, you can unlock moments of possibilities that may have previously seemed out of reach. The K.I.S.S. ~ Thread a day of hope! Renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor, penned these profound words: "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." Adversity may be inevitable, but your response to it is entirely within your control. By approaching difficulties with a fresh perspective, you can harness your inner strength and resilience to navigate even the darkest of times. In the words of Kristianne Wargo, "Your past does not dictate your future; it merely shapes the path you walk today." Embrace each moment as a chance to redefine your narrative, to learn, grow, and be who you are becoming. Remember, every step you take today lays the foundation for a brighter tomorrow. As you face challenges old and new, may you find comfort in the knowledge that each obstacle is but a stitch in the larger tapestry of your woven life. So embrace the journey, embrace the unknown, and may your resilience shine through as you pivot and pave the way for a future filled with endless possibilities. Keep moving forward.

  10. 8743328 Is Being Healthy Worth It?In a society where fast food is rampant and Netflix marathons are the norm, the concept of living a healthy lifestyle can often seem like a haunting responsibility. Is being healthy worth it? With the endless cycle of work, responsibilities, and commitments, the question arises: Is being healthy really worth it? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Does the effort to eat well, exercise frequently, and sleep more truly impact our lives and longevity? Let's delve into the world of health and wellness to uncover the truth behind these questions. Research overwhelmingly supports the idea that healthy living significantly impacts not only our physical well-being but also our mental health and overall quality of life. According to a study published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, individuals who engage in regular exercise have up to a 50% reduced risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancers. Moreover, proper nutrition plays a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy weight and reducing the risk of obesity-related conditions. One crucial aspect of healthy living that is often overlooked is the profound impact it has on our longevity. A study conducted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health revealed that individuals who adhere to a healthy lifestyle - characterized by a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep - are up to 50% more likely to live longer than those who neglect these practices. Maybe the question really should be: What is the quality of life you desire? The K.I.S.S. ~ Define your quality of life! To make the right decision towards embracing a healthier lifestyle, consider the following three key actions: 1. What matters to you beyond a number? Start small: Begin by incorporating small changes into your daily routine, such as opting for a salad instead of fries or taking a brisk walk during lunch breaks. These minor adjustments can gradually lead to more significant improvements in your overall health. 2. Where do you need to begin your health journey? Set Realistic Goals: Establish attainable goals that align with your personal preferences and lifestyle. Whether it's committing to a certain number of workouts per week or gradually reducing sugar intake, setting achievable targets will help you stay motivated and track your progress. 3. Who can you surround yourself with that benefits your quality of life? Seek Support: Surround yourself with individuals who share similar health goals and aspirations. Joining fitness classes, engaging in group activities, or seeking guidance from a healthcare professional can provide the encouragement and accountability needed to stay committed to a healthy lifestyle. In the words of renowned nutritionist and wellness expert, Joy Bauer, "Healthy living is not about perfection, but progress." By taking proactive steps towards prioritizing your health and well-being, you are investing in a future filled with vitality, resilience, and longevity. Remember, the journey to a healthier you begins with a single step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Embrace the power of choice and embark on a transformative path toward a vibrant and fulfilling life. The decision to prioritize your health is a gift that keeps on giving - both in the present moment and for years to come. "Be present. Be incredible.

  11. 8753327 Don't Let Worry Whittle Down Your HeartIn life's journey, we often encounter challenges that can weigh us down and cloud our vision. It's easy to let worry consume us, impacting our passion and drive. Don't let worry whittle down your heart. But amidst the chaos, there lies a flicker of hope – a reminder that we hold the power to rise above it all. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Author Mary Anne Radmacher once said, "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow'." These words ring true as we navigate through hardships that threaten to whittle down our hearts. It's important to remember that our passion is the compass that guides us through turbulent times. As Kristianne Wargo eloquently puts it, "Passion fuels the fire within us, igniting the path to our purpose." When we acknowledge the power of our passion, we unlock a reservoir of strength that propels us forward, even when the road ahead seems impossible. The K.I.S.S. ~ Don't let worry whittle down your heart! In the words of motivational speaker Les Brown, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." This serves as a potent reminder that setbacks and failures are merely stepping stones toward success. Every stumble is an opportunity to learn, grow, and evolve into a stronger version of ourselves. The journey towards fulfilling our dreams is often riddled with obstacles, but it is in overcoming these challenges that we discover our true potential. As poet Rumi aptly said, "The wound is the place where the Light enters you." Embrace your struggles, for they are the catalysts for transformation and growth. "In the grand tapestry of life, each thread represents a moment of triumph, a lesson learned, and a heart filled with unwavering resolve." ~ Kristianne Wargo Let us cultivate a mindset of resilience and unwavering faith in our abilities. As we navigate the unpredictable seas of life, let our passion be the lighthouse that guides us home. In conclusion, remember that worry may attempt to whittle down your heart, but your passion will always reignite the flame within you. Embrace each challenge as an opportunity for growth, and let your unwavering spirit carry you towards your dreams. "Be present. Be incredible.

  12. 8763326 Preparation for TomorrowIn the words of legendary martial artist Bruce Lee, "Preparation for tomorrow is hard work today." Embrace the challenges of today to shape a brighter tomorrow. In our hectic lives filled with routines and familiarity, stepping out of our comfort zones to make changes can feel daunting.  Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  "Why hold back on what you know you need to change in order to go where God has called you to go?" ~ Kristianne Wargo It's time to take A.I.M. and prepare for the future you desire. The K.I.S.S. ~ Take A.I.M.! Three Things You Can Do to Embrace Change: 1. Embrace New Skills: This comes down to personal growth. Self-improvement is a journey that requires dedication and perseverance. By stepping out of your comfort zone and acquiring new skills or knowledge, you are investing in your future success. As Tony Robbins said, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." 2. Set Clear Goals: Define your aspirations and outline a roadmap to achieve them. Without a clear vision of where you want to go, it's easy to get lost in the daily grind. By setting specific, measurable goals, you can track your progress and stay motivated. To quote Lewis Carroll, "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." 3. Embrace Resilience: Change is not always easy, and setbacks are inevitable. However, it's essential to cultivate resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges. As Kristianne Wargo aptly puts it, "Strength is not measured by how much you can take, but by how much you can surrender." Embrace resilience as a tool to overcome obstacles and keep moving forward. Remember, the choices you make today will shape the tomorrow you desire. Embrace change, set goals, and cultivate resilience to prepare for a brighter future.

  13. 8773325 God's Gotta Gripe with Your GripIn the busyness of modern life, it's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to control every aspect of your existence. The desire for control can hold you back from your purpose. Have you ever thought of God's gotta gripe with your grip? Because it may make you feel good to meticulously plan your schedule to meticulously curate your social media persona. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Unfortunately, we do really like control, especially when we have no control over what happens to us in our every day. But the thing is this. What happens when this desire for control becomes a barrier to your relationship with God? Maybe you haven't even given it a second thought. Who would think God would care about our desire to control? Well, God does care. He desires for you to walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). And in doing so, that's when we truly comprehend how to trust in Him. 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." ~ Proverbs 3:5-6 You see, control is the barrier between you and surrendering to what God desires for you. Do you really want to get in the way of what God has for you? Because if you keep holding on tight to what you want, you won't be able to see what God wants for you. The K.I.S.S. ~ God's gotta gripe with your grip! So, at some point, you must relinquish control and let go of what's not yours to hold onto. Your divine path can only be realized if you let God lead you. With Easter around the corner and us in the season of Lent, I can't help but think of Galatians 2:20. Galatians 2:20: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." You accepting Jesus Christ as your risen Lord and Savior opens up the doors of what's possible. Because with God, nothing is impossible (Mark 10:27). But there is one thing that will stand in your way: control.  God's gotta gripe with your grip. So when are you going to let go? When are you going to see what He is creating for you? What time of day will you meet Him face to face to understand His plans, not yours? How are you going to lead your life well, if you don't let God in? God's gotta gripe with your grip.  Set your mind on things above, not earthly things (Colossians 3:2). Find peace that passes all understanding not in what you know, but in whose you are. God loves you! Let Him lead the way, so you can live, love, and impact! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🎥 Karen Kingsbury Productions Presents Someone Like You.movie 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  14. 8783324 Ready for a Fresh Start?In the journey of marriage, it's easy to fall into comfortable routines and take your spouse for granted. But what happens when you both are ready for a fresh start? How can you move from mundane to magic in your marriage? It's time to recapture the love and appreciation that brought you together in the first place. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Why did you fall in love with your spouse in the first place? What made you light up when you saw him? How did you see you all as a couple in your dreams? Where did you see yourself going together as a couple? It's up to you and your spouse to continually keep the spark alive. Are you a willing participant? Or would you rather be lazy? The K.I.S.S. ~ Ready yourself for a fresh start! One way to begin this journey is through open and honest communication. Take the time to express your feelings, concerns, and desires to your partner. This can help create a deeper understanding and connection between you both. As relationship expert John Gottman once said, "Couples who can talk about their feelings, needs, and desires in a respectful way will have a stronger bond." Another essential step is to prioritize quality time together. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to let time slip away without truly connecting with your spouse. Make an effort to carve out moments for meaningful conversations, laughter, and shared experiences. As author Mignon McLaughlin once wrote, "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." Lastly, practicing gratitude can work wonders in rediscovering the beauty of your relationship. Take a moment each day to appreciate the little things your partner does, whether it's making you a cup of coffee in the morning or sending you a sweet text during the day. Gratitude can shift your perspective and foster a sense of warmth and closeness within your marriage. As Kristianne Wargo wisely said, "Gratitude is the key that unlocks a heart of love and appreciation." Remember, a fresh start in your marriage is possible when both partners are committed to making positive changes and nurturing their bond. By communicating openly, prioritizing quality time, and practicing gratitude, you can reignite the spark and rediscover the joy of being in love. "In a world where you can be anything, always choose to be kind." - Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

  15. 8793323 How to Help Your Child DreamIt's easy for kids to get caught up in the whirlwind of daily tasks and responsibilities, leaving little room for daydreaming and imagination. Learn how to help your child dream so they can step into a bright future. According to a recent study by Child Mind Institute, over 60% of children aged 6-12 spend less than an hour a day engaging in creative play or dreaming about their future. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  In a society driven by instant gratification and constant stimulation, it's crucial for parents to take proactive steps to nurture their child's ability to dream and envision a bright future. Renowned psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour emphasizes the importance of fostering a child's imagination, stating, "Dreaming allows children to tap into their creativity and explore endless possibilities. It's a crucial part of their cognitive development and helps shape their aspirations and goals for the future." The K.I.S.S. ~ Dream a little dream! To help your child dream and unleash their potential, here are three simple yet powerful strategies: 1. Encourage Exploration: Provide your child with diverse experiences and opportunities to explore different interests. Whether it's signing them up for art classes, taking them on nature hikes, or visiting museums, exposing them to new and exciting experiences can ignite their curiosity and spark their imagination. 2. Foster a Safe Space for Creativity: Create a nurturing environment at home where your child feels free to dream and express themselves. Encourage open communication, active listening, and praise their ideas and creations. This safe space will empower them to think outside the box and dream big without fear of judgment. 3. Lead by Example: Show your child the value of dreaming and setting goals by sharing your own aspirations and achievements. Engage in imaginative play together, read inspiring stories, and discuss future plans as a family. By modeling a positive attitude towards dreaming, you instill a sense of hope and possibility in your child's mindset. In the words of parenting expert Kristianne Wargo, "Dreaming is not just for bedtime; it's a powerful tool to shape your child's future." By cultivating a culture of dreaming in your household, you equip your child with the essential skills of creativity, resilience, and ambition that will guide them towards a fulfilling and purposeful life. Remember, a child's dreams are the seeds of their future success. Nurture them with care, and watch them bloom into bountiful blessings. "Be present. Be incredible.

  16. 8803322 Follow Your Hopes, Not Your FearsAmidst the symphony of life's twists and turns, a quiet melody of hope whispers through the chaos. In these moments of uncertainty and doubt, the true power of hope shines brightest. Follow your hopes, not your fears. In a chaotic and unpredictable world, it's easy to get weighed down by disappointments and delays. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  But amid the storms of life, there is always a glimmer of hope shining through the darkness. It's important not to let setbacks define us, but rather to focus on what we can control and the potential that lies ahead. As author Roy T. Bennett wisely once said, "Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart." These words serve as a powerful reminder that our dreams and aspirations should guide us, not our fears and doubts. No matter how tough the journey may seem, giving up is never the answer. You must persevere, you must keep moving forward, for it is in those moments of resilience that you discover your true strength. The K.I.S.S. ~ Follow your hopes, not your fears! "Life isn't perfect, but it is beautiful." ~ Kristianne Wargo Each day is a gift, filled with endless possibilities and opportunities for growth. Even when the path ahead seems uncertain, there is always a chance to create something extraordinary out of the ordinary. Embrace the imperfections, for they are what make life truly remarkable. As you navigate through the highs and lows of life, remember the words of poet Emily Dickinson, "Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops at all." Hope is a constant companion, a reassuring presence that whispers brighter days ahead. It is the light that guides you through the darkest of nights, illuminating your path with possibility and promise. So, amidst the trials and tribulations, hold onto hope with unwavering faith. Focus on the beauty in the brokenness, the strength in the struggle, and the light in the darkness. For in the end, it is your hope that will lead you to a future filled with endless potential and boundless joy.  Hope is the anchor that keeps you steady in the storm, the beacon that lights your way in the darkest of nights. Today, tomorrow, and always, follow your hopes, not your fears. "Be present. Be incredible.

  17. 8813321 How to Care for Your HeartTaking care of your heart goes beyond just what you eat and how you exercise. It also involves nurturing your heart holistically - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Learn how to care for your heart and soar! When facing challenges, it puts undeniable stress on you physically, mentally, and emotionally. Your well-being matters in your overall health. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  But who's thinking about that in the morning? Most of the time, your weight and wrinkles get more attention. However, you have to consider your overall well-being. Along with having discussions with your physician/medical provider for your physical health, have conversations about your mental health, too. The K.I.S.S. ~ Care for your heart holistically! 1. Eat and Exercise Well: Consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while staying physically active is essential for heart health. According to Dr. Rita Redberg, a cardiologist, "Eating a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats is good for the heart." 2. Meditate Always: Incorporate meditation and mindfulness practices into your daily routine can significantly reduce stress levels and improve cardiovascular health. As Professor John Teasdale once said, "Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment." 3. Reflect Often: Taking time to reflect on emotions, thoughts, and experiences can help you understand yourself better and promote emotional well-being. Reflective journaling or sitting quietly to process your feelings can be powerful tools for heart care. As Kristianne Wargo wisely stated, "Life is not what it presents you, but what you present to yourself in life." In the words of renowned motivational speaker Tony Robbins, "The quality of your life is the quality of your emotions." By nourishing our hearts through healthy habits, mindfulness, and self-reflection, you can cultivate a resilient spirit that propels you forward even in the face of adversity. So, commit to caring for your heart - physically, emotionally, and spiritually - to live your best selfie. The best is yet to come! Remember, taking care of your heart is a holistic endeavor; it's not just about the physical aspect but also the emotional and spiritual aspects of your well-being. So let's embark on this journey to nurture our hearts in every sense of the word. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

  18. 8823320 Live on the EdgeIn pursuing your dreams, there comes a time when you must be willing to push the boundaries and take risks that challenge you beyond your comfort zone. In moments of uncertainty, dare to live on the edge. "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone," once said Neale Donald Walsch, and truer words have never been spoken. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Stepping outside of what feels safe and familiar is where growth begins. It is where we find the courage and strength to reach for the stars and make our wildest dreams a reality. "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful," shared Albert Schweitzer. This sentiment echoes the importance of following our passions and taking risks in pursuit of what truly makes us come alive. It is in those moments of fear and uncertainty that we often find our greatest joys. The K.I.S.S. ~ Live on the edge! As Kristianne Wargo said, "Embrace the unknown, for it holds the key to your wildest dreams." It is in the unknown territories of risk-taking that you find the magic of possibilities unfolding before you. When you dare to live on the edge, you open yourself up to a world of endless opportunities and extraordinary experiences. So, as you navigate your journey towards your dreams and goals, remember to embrace the risks that come your way. For it is in those moments of uncertainty and fear that you will discover the true depth of your potential and the limitless possibilities that await you on the edge of greatness. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

  19. 8833319 Empower Your Inner DialogueIn this fast-paced world filled with constant self-doubt and self-criticism, learning to talk to yourself in a positive manner is crucial for maintaining mental well-being. Empower your inner dialogue. Words have power. And that power applies to yourself too. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  For whatever reason, people think that it's the words that are only spoken. But the ones that are said inside your head have a greater impact. According to research conducted by the National Science Foundation, the average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive thoughts from the previous day. This statistic highlights the significant impact our thoughts and internal dialogue have on our mental well-being and overall outlook on life. Transforming negative self-talk into positive affirmations can lead to improved self-esteem, reduced stress levels, and increased mental resilience. But that means you have to intentionally think on a different level. What would it mean to hear only uplifting and positive things in your own head? Would that change how you look at your day? If you want to have a better attitude and overall well-being, engage in positive conversation. The K.I.S.S. ~ Engage in positive conversation! What you say matters. And what you think about, you bring about. 1. Practice self-compassion. Instead of berating yourself for mistakes or flaws, treat yourself with kindness and understanding. Speak to yourself with the same compassion you would offer a friend facing a difficult situation. When you make a mistake, acknowledge it without judgment, and remind yourself that everyone is imperfect. Incorporate this into your daily routine by starting each morning with a positive affirmation, such as "I am deserving of love and respect." 2. Engage in positive self-affirmations. Use uplifting phrases to reinforce your self-worth and capabilities. Remind yourself of your strengths and talents, focusing on what makes you unique and special. Incorporate these affirmations into your daily life by repeating them during moments of self-doubt or anxiety. For example, if you are feeling overwhelmed at work, silently affirm, "I am competent and able to handle any challenge that comes my way." 3. Practice gratitude towards yourself. Recognize and appreciate the efforts you make, no matter how small they may seem. Acknowledge your achievements and progress, celebrating even the tiniest victories. By expressing gratitude towards yourself, you cultivate a sense of self-worth and confidence. Incorporate this practice into your daily routine by keeping a gratitude journal, listing three things you are grateful for about yourself each day. Remember, the way you speak to yourself matters. By incorporating self-compassion, positive affirmations, and gratitude into your inner dialogue, you can transform your self-talk from negative to empowering. "Words have power; use them wisely to uplift and inspire yourself." "Be present. Be incredible.

  20. 8843318 The Lord Establishes Their StepsGod calls you out of your comfort to do what He has designed you to become in the dance of life. As Proverbs 16:9 says, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." But who is establishing your steps? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Are you one who is constantly striving for control over every aspect of your life? From careers to relationships, you meticulously plan and strategize in the hopes of steering your life in the direction you desire.  However, the very thing holding you back from fulfilling your true potential is your own reluctance to step out of your comfort zone and trust in God's ultimate plan for you. But are you a willing participant? Are you ready to follow where God is leading? The K.I.S.S. ~ The Lord establishes your steps! It is human nature to resist change and hold on to familiarity, even when we sense a divine calling pushing us towards something greater. We question, we doubt, we resist, all the while forgetting that God's hand is gently nudging us toward our purpose. Instead of continually fighting against the currents of fate, you are called to surrender to God's will, for His plans for you far surpass your own limited vision. Every twist and turn, every obstacle and victory, is carefully orchestrated by a higher power that knows you better than you know yourself. But are you listening? Are you watching for those God winks? In those moments of uncertainty and fear, let us release our grip on control and trust in the divine guidance that leads us toward our true calling. In relinquishing your need for control, you open yourself up to a world of endless possibilities and unforeseen blessings. So today, as you navigate the intricate dance of life, remember the profound truth of Proverbs 16:9, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." Embrace the unknown, trust in God's plan, and allow your steps to be guided by the hand of a loving Creator who knows the desires of your heart better than you ever could. "Be present. Be incredible.

  21. 8853317 Hope for Your MarriageIn the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy for the flames of love in marriage to flicker and dim. The once vibrant connection can feel muted. But there is always hope for your marriage, no matter how distant it may seem. It is amazing how a couple so in love and end up here where all seems lost. Out of nowhere, it's like your marriage is on strike! Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  There is no synergy, and the love account seems to be lacking.  How can a marriage get to this point? For most, it's a product of busyness. You think (or assume) you're connected and in sync only to discover you are on different pages in different seasons. It's no wonder the drift is real. However, you don't have to live a marriage that seems to be put on hold or nonexistent. It's time to reignite the spark. The K.I.S.S. ~ Reignite the spark! The key to reigniting the spark lies internally with intentional actions. Think about this. What would it be like to live a life without hope? You can take to breathe new life into your marriage. 1. Communicate in Love: Often, the root of marital discord stems from a lack of open and honest communication. Take the time to sit down with your partner and truly listen to their thoughts and feelings. Validate their emotions and share your own in a safe and non-judgmental space. As Maya Angelou wisely said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." 2. Spend Time Together: In the midst of our hectic schedules, carving out quality time for your partner is essential. Whether it's a weekly date night, a weekend getaway, or simply unplugging from technology to connect on a deeper level, investing in shared experiences can reignite the passion and intimacy in your marriage. As author Mignon McLaughlin once said, "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." 3. Look at YOU: Sometimes, enhancing your marriage begins with working on yourself. Take the time to reflect on your own behaviors, attitudes, and communication styles. Strive towards personal growth through self-improvement practices such as mindfulness, self-care, or individual therapy. As renowned psychologist Carl Jung once said, "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." Remember, hope is not lost in a struggling marriage. By taking proactive steps, nurturing your connection, and practicing empathy and understanding, you can breathe new life into your marriage and create your now. "Be present. Be incredible.

  22. 8863316 Keep On Keeping OnLet's be real! Parenting is a journey filled with love, laughter, and a ton of unpredictable moments. But what do you do when the challenges outweigh the joy? Keep on keeping on! Because you know how it goes down. For every sweet bedtime story read, there's a tantrum in the grocery store. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  For every proud moment of achievement, there's a sleepless night trying to soothe a crying baby. It's a rollercoaster of emotions that can leave you feeling drained and questioning your abilities. Amidst the chaos and the mess, it's important to remember that you are doing an incredible job. Your efforts may go unnoticed, but they are shaping the future of your children in ways you cannot imagine. So, for those moments when you're feeling worn out and on the verge of giving up, keep on keeping on. The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep on keeping on! 1. Celebrate Small Victories: It's easy to get caught up in the never-ending to-do list and high expectations we set for ourselves as parents. Take a moment to celebrate the small wins - whether it's getting through a hectic morning routine without any meltdowns or finally teaching your toddler to tie their shoelaces. "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." - Robert Brault 2. Measure the Moments: Getting all bent out of shape for everything is going to leave you exhausted and worn out. So stay in the present and measure the moment for what it is. No more. No less. Just right. 3. Respect What You Know: You know what is best for your child. So don't underestimate what you know. Be confident that you are a mom on a mission caring for your child as they need it. But at the same time, don't be afraid or hesitant to ask for help. Parenting is a tough job, but it's also the most rewarding one. Remember that it's okay to have tough days and moments of doubt. Keep on keeping on, for your children are watching and learning from your resilience, strength, and love. Keep shining, mom (and dad), you're doing amazing! "Be present. Be incredible.

  24. 8883314 Easy Solutions for Low EnergyAre you feeling drained and in need of a pick-me-up? You're not alone. Low energy levels can disrupt your daily life and leave you feeling fatigued. It's time to add those easy solutions for low energy into your every day. The good news is, there are simple ways to revitalize yourself while resting. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co  Here are three effective strategies to help you restore your energy levels effortlessly. The K.I.S.S. ~ REstore your energy! 1. Power Nap Revival: A short power nap can work wonders in boosting your energy and focus. Find a quiet, comfortable spot to lie down, set a timer for 20-30 minutes, and allow yourself to drift off into a restful slumber. This brief break can recharge your mind and body, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to take on the rest of your day. 2. Mindful Meditation Break: Take a few minutes to engage in a mindfulness meditation session. Find a peaceful corner, sit comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Inhale deeply through your nose, exhale slowly through your mouth, and let go of any tension or stress. This practice can help calm your mind, reduce fatigue, and provide a natural energy boost to carry you through the day. 3. Hydration Station: Dehydration can zap your energy levels and leave you feeling sluggish. Keep a water bottle handy and sip on it throughout the day to stay hydrated. For an extra energy kick, try infusing your water with slices of citrus fruits like lemon or orange, or add a splash of coconut water for electrolyte replenishment. Proper hydration is key to maintaining optimal energy levels and overall well-being. Kristianne Wargo says, "Restoring your energy doesn't have to be complicated. By incorporating simple rest and revitalization techniques into your daily routine, you can feel more energized and rejuvenated, ready to tackle whatever comes your way." Next time you're feeling worn out, try these easy solutions to revitalize yourself and reclaim your energy. Remember, taking care of yourself is the first step towards a healthier, more energetic you. "Be present. Be incredible.
