- 11053097 Little Things Make a Big DifferenceWhen trying countless diets or embarking on strenuous workouts, these types of regimens are short-lived. But optimal health finds success in small steps. That's right- little things make a big difference. We live in a fast-paced world where instant gratification is the norm. We want quick fixes and instant results. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, sustainable health and well-being require a shift in mindset. It requires us to do something different, to get out of our norm. So instead of reaching for that extreme diet or obsessing over the latest fitness trends, it's time to focus on the little things that can lead to long-term success. The K.I.S.S. ~ Do the little things! Here are three ways to start doing the little things: 1. Prioritize How and When You Eat One of the most effective ways to improve your health is through mindful eating. This means slowing down and savoring each bite, paying attention to the textures, flavors, and sensations in your mouth. By doing so, you become more in tune with your body's hunger and fullness cues, and you are less likely to overeat. Start by practicing this during one meal each day. Turn off distractions, chew your food thoroughly, and take the time to truly enjoy your meal. Soon enough, mindful eating will become a habit that positively impacts your overall health. 2. Incorporate Intentional Movement into Your Daily Routine Exercise doesn't always have to involve grueling hours at the gym or intense workout sessions. It's about finding ways to incorporate movement into your daily routine. Whether it's taking the stairs instead of the elevator, going for a walk during your lunch break, or doing a quick 15-minute workout at home, every bit of movement counts. By making these small changes, you'll be increasing your physical activity level without overwhelming yourself. 3. Get Enough Quality Sleep Sleep is often underestimated in its role in overall health. Poor sleep can lead to increased stress levels, impaired cognitive function, and a weakened immune system. To prioritize quality sleep, establish a bedtime routine that promotes relaxation and creates a sleep-friendly environment. This can include activities such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night and notice how it positively influences your energy levels and overall well-being. Instead of scrolling through your phone or watching TV right before bed, try spending the last hour before sleep engaging in a calming activity like reading or journaling. Or maybe you can spend it with your sweetheart and have some alone time. You actually might find that you fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. If you want to have the greatest impact on your health, remember that the little things make a big difference. Gradually, you'll develop a healthier lifestyle that outlasts any trendy diet. So start implementing these small changes today, and watch as they add up to significant improvements in your overall well-being. Remember, it's the little things that matter. "Train for life.

- 11063096 How Do You Get Back Up?Motivation isn't something that comes easy, nor is it something that is willed. When life pulls you down, how do you get back up? Because it's not the load that breaks you down; it's the way you carry it. How did you feel when you woke up this morning? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Maybe you were encouraged by something that happened yesterday, so today feels pretty good. Or maybe you are in some struggles where you don't know how you feel or where you stand. There's a little bit of disconnect and frustration. A lot of life is lived in the latter. You're in this position of uncertainty, and more seems to be down than up. How do you get back up when all you're feeling is down? The K.I.S.S. ~ How do you get back up? Because it is SO frustrating. You want something different, but for whatever reason, you just exist. No matter what you do, there doesn't seem to be a way to get you to the other side. No saying can will you to do what just isn't happening. Being tired and not having enough energy is taxing on anyone. Being frustrated because you don't have the answer is challenging. Being so withdrawn, that you don't know if you're coming or going. When the heart isn't ready, the will can't push it. So is all hope lost? Of course not!! You have got to consider the season in which you're hanging out. You have to be real with yourself, or the result is that the reality you're in will hold you back. Genuine honesty with yourself is the best policy. Look to what you have that's going well for you. Don't smother your thoughts in what you haven't done lately. Pull up your big girl panties and get in the game of life. You are going to fall down. And the only what to overcome that is to get back up. There is no magic formula. There is no saying. There is your heart connected to a God who loves you, and regardless of your circumstances, He will carry you and be with you through your journey. The destination is not His concern, and neither should it be yours. It's your readiness to lean in more, to know Him more, to see the little blessings more, to have faith more, to glorify Him more, to love more, to forgive more, to live more. Yes, life is not easy, but the journey is definitely beautiful, especially when your perspective is from God. So whatever you face today, this too shall pass. You were created for such a time as this. Go in peace and create your now. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 11073095 Belief Has A SoundBelief has a sound. Sometimes, the greatest challenges arise when we unknowingly embrace falsehoods, misbeliefs, or negative narratives. What does your belief sound like? These distorted beliefs can lead us astray, hindering our growth and hampering our progress toward a fulfilling life. Belief has a sound. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In life, we often hear the phrase, "What you think about, you bring about." This statement holds a profound truth - our thoughts and beliefs have a powerful impact on our lives. But it is equally important to consider the thoughts and beliefs we accept as truth in our lives. When we take what is a lie and make it our truth, we inadvertently subject ourselves to a barrage of problems and limitations. These falsehoods seep into the very fabric of our being and impact every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to our personal endeavors. The consequences of harboring false beliefs can manifest as self-doubt, fear, stagnation, and a distorted perception of reality. One of the primary problems we face when we accept lies as truths is a loss of self-confidence and self-worth. Negative narratives can chip away at our sense of purpose and hinder our abilities to recognize and unleash our full potential. By internalizing false beliefs, we create self-imposed barriers that limit our capabilities and hinder our progress. Moreover, accepting falsehoods can also strain our relationships with others. When we believe negative narratives, it can lead to distrust, suspicion, and a distorted view of others' intentions. We may find it challenging to form deep and meaningful connections, as our preconceived notions and incorrect assumptions cloud our judgment, preventing us from seeing the true nature of those around us. Another problem that arises from embracing lies as truths is the hampering of personal growth and achievement. False beliefs can confine us to a mental prison, constraining our outlook and preventing us from seeking new opportunities or exploring our true passions. These limiting beliefs can keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns, preventing us from realizing our dreams and reaching our full potential. To overcome these problems and maximize our belief for a fulfilling life, it is crucial to practice discernment and self-reflection. We must challenge the beliefs we hold, critically examining whether they align with our values, aspirations, and personal growth. Surrounding ourselves with supportive communities and seeking guidance from mentors or trusted advisors can also help us gain perspective and uncover the truth. By embracing a growth mindset and fostering a sense of curiosity, we can dismantle falsehoods and replace them with empowering beliefs that propel us forward. The K.I.S.S. ~ Foster a sense of curiosity! If belief has a sound, how can we maximize your belief to keep you going? Here are three essential practices to solidify this principle in your everyday life, supported by insightful biblical quotes and stories. 1. Embrace Positive Affirmations Affirmations are powerful tools that can reinforce positive thoughts and beliefs. By consciously choosing uplifting words and phrases, we can redirect our minds towards a more optimistic outlook. The Bible echoes this concept in Romans 12:2, where it says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Replace negative self-talk with empowering affirmations like, "I am capable," "I am worthy," or "I am loved." These statements serve as a constant reminder of your abilities and worth, helping to solidify positive beliefs. 2. Surround Yourself with Supportive Communities Remember the story of David and Jonathan? Their deep friendship showed us the power of companionship and support. Just like David and Jonathan, we also need a community that uplifts and encourages us. Surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals who share similar beliefs and values can help reinforce and strengthen your own convictions. Seek out gatherings, groups, or religious communities that align with your beliefs. Together, you can deepen your faith and continually inspire each other to maximize your belief in yourself and your purpose. 3. Practice Gratitude Gratitude is a transformative practice that shifts our focus away from negativity and towards appreciation for the good in our lives. In Philippians 4:6, the Bible says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Take time each day to list at least three things you are grateful for. Whether big or small, these moments of gratitude anchor your belief in the abundance and blessings that surround you, fostering a mindset of positivity and attracting more positive experiences. Remember, you are not the wizard behind the curtain. If belief has a sound, you have to know what you're hearing. So listen! Belief, when maximized, can lead us toward a fulfilling and purposeful life. But again, you have to do what you can do and then give the rest to God. PRAYER: Make your belief a harmonious melody that ignites your heart with joy, love, and courage. May your beliefs guide your actions and establish your thoughts while God shapes your every day better than anything you can imagine. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 11083094 Find Comfort in God's Hidden PresenceWho would think God would hide from us? We all have moments when we sense a distance from God. We can still find comfort in God's hidden presence. Despite our best efforts, it can feel like God is hiding Himself, which leaves us longing for His presence. However, God never leaves you nor forsakes you. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Isaiah 45:15 - "Truly, you are a God who has been hiding himself, the God and Savior of Israel." But even if God is hiding from you, He is still your God and Savior. You know, God challenges our faith. Yet we still have to understand that He is still doing work on your behalf. You may feel a little distant, but that doesn't mean He's not moving mountains for you in the background. It might seem surprising to acknowledge that God hides Himself, but it is a reminder that His ways and methods are beyond our comprehension. In times of feeling distant from God, we may question His presence and wonder why He allows such periods of perceived absence. However, as we read here in Isaiah, it challenges us to have faith and trust in His sovereignty, even when we cannot fully grasp His ways. Just like the hidden God in Isaiah 45:15, we must learn to trust in God's unseen work during seasons of distance. Although we may not always perceive His presence, God is continuously at work in our lives, orchestrating events and molding us according to His plan. The K.I.S.S. ~ Find comfort in God's hidden presence! And that's another reason why we need to be in His Word. Because the Bible acts as a compass, guiding us closer to God, even when we feel distant. By diving into God's Word, you get to discover comfort, direction, and the assurance of His unfailing love. It's in those pages, that His Words speak comfort to us when we feel like we are playing hide and seek. I mean think about this, there are stories in the Bible of individuals who experienced God's hidden presence but were ultimately drawn nearer to Him. So during these times of perceived distance, prayer becomes a lifeline to connect with God. Pouring out your heart to Him, sharing your struggles, doubts, and desires, bringing Him into your present circumstances. Although God's response may not always be immediate or evident, our prayers serve as an avenue for that intimacy with Him. Now most people don't want to hear that God having His ringer turned off is normal for us here on earth. And it's not because of what God lacks, but what we lack. And that, my friend, is the greatest reminder why our faith must be stronger than any feelings. Because feelings are fleeting. But God's love for you is forever. So cling to His promises, seek Him diligently in His Word, pray, worship, and be grateful for the blessings you choose to see. As you navigate through these seasons where God appears to be hiding, may your faith be strengthened, and may you find hope, comfort, and unwavering trust in our risen Lord and Savior. God's got you!

- 11093093 How Do You Nurture Hope in Marriage?How do you nurture hope in marriage? You only succeed to the proportion you work at it. Despite whose fault is what, you can impact and preserve the flickering flames of hope. Navigating a marriage where one spouse seems less invested can be disheartening. It's a challenge! But it's important to know that you, as an individual, can still make an impact. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Now I must say that when you're in the thick of it, everything seems impossible. But as you know, nothing is impossible with God. And if you are willing and ready to take A.I.M., God will work on your spouse while you work on yourself. You see, that's the problem. Most people blame their spouses for the troubles in their marriage. Yet just as it takes two to tango, it takes two to get you where you are; good, bad, or ugly. So you genuinely want to nurture hope in your marriage, you have to be willing to look in the mirror. Because if not, you might as well turn off this episode and stop listening to me. You need to do your part in order to nurture hope in your marriage. So what can you do since you're in it to win it? The K.I.S.S. ~ Be in it to win it! You have gotta be in it to win it. You have got to be drivin' the boat, not just floating in the water. Because eventually, you'll sink otherwise. 1. Lead by Example When there are situations where one spouse appears less committed, it's crucial to lead by example and demonstrate the qualities you desire in your marriage. By doing so, it allows you to make a positive impact while still respecting your partner's journey. a. Communicate with compassion: Enhance your communication skills by expressing your hopes, concerns, and desires with love and empathy. Show your commitment by listening actively. Respond thoughtfully to your spouse's needs. b. Foster personal growth: Focus on your own personal growth and development. By becoming the best version of yourself, you not only increase your confidence but also inspire your partner to embark on their own journey of self-improvement. c. Show love and kindness: Even in the face of challenges, continue to demonstrate love, kindness, and gratitude. Small gestures, acts of service, and affectionate moments can reignite a spark and remind your partner of the beauty and potential of your relationship. 2. Seek Professional Support When faced with a seemingly imbalanced level of commitment, seeking professional help can be a transformative step. A marriage counselor or therapist can provide guidance, tools, and strategies to navigate the challenges you may be facing. If you're in the water, you need to know how to get back in the boat. a. Encourage the idea of counseling: Approach the subject of counseling with sensitivity and grace. Express your willingness to make a positive change and emphasize the potential benefits that professional guidance can bring to both individuals and the relationship. b. Attend counseling sessions individually: If your spouse remains hesitant to attend joint sessions, consider going for individual counseling to address your struggles, gain clarity, and develop strategies for coping with the situation. Individual growth can often spur positive change within the marriage. c. Explore books and resources: Supplement professional counseling by reading books, listening to podcasts, or participating in online programs that focus on personal and relationship development. Share what you learn with your partner, creating opportunities for open and meaningful discussions. 3. Prioritize Self-Care When faced with a challenging marriage dynamic, it's important to prioritize self-care as a means of maintaining your own emotional and mental well-being. Taking care of yourself helps you approach the relationship with a calmer mindset and a renewed sense of hope. a. Practice self-reflection and self-awareness: Regularly take time to reflect on your own feelings and emotions. Understand your own needs, triggers, and boundaries, as well as what you are willing to work through to preserve your marriage. b. Engage in stress-relieving activities: Engage in activities that bring you joy, cultivate peace, and reduce stress levels. Whether it's exercise, meditation, journaling, or spending time with friends, these activities will nurture your emotional well-being and provide you with the necessary strength to navigate challenges. c. Set healthy boundaries: Establish and communicate healthy boundaries within the relationship. This will help protect your emotional well-being while fostering an environment for open communication and mutual respect. Inspiration and Hope While it may be challenging, remember that all hope is not lost. Many couples have experienced seasons where one partner was less invested initially, only to witness remarkable transformations in the future. So understand this... - Change is possible: People can grow and evolve in unpredictable ways. By fostering an environment of love, acceptance, and support, your spouse may eventually undergo a positive transformation. - Focus on your own growth: By prioritizing your personal development, you create a ripple effect that can inspire change in your spouse. Lead by example and allow your growth to ignite the spark of transformation within your marriage. - Keep the lines of communication open: Continuously communicate your feelings, concerns, and hopes with your spouse. Honest and vulnerable conversations can be the catalyst for positive change. Remember, each marriage is unique, and no situation is entirely hopeless. Hope is not lost in a day! "Be present.

- 11103092 Why Bad Looks GoodWhen summer arrives, and you are in the middle of all the chaos, parenting seems to go out the window. Survival mode kicks into overdrive. Yet, you can find joy in imperfect summers; why bad looks good. Let's be real! We, as parents, often find ourselves wrestling with mixed feelings. On one hand, there's the excitement of a break from school and the prospect of fun family adventures. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But on the other hand, there's the challenge of managing unpredictable schedules, keeping the kids entertained, and maintaining a sense of order. It's easy to label these moments as "bad," but what if we shift our perspective. Come on! Let's look at these things a little differently. Then we have the opportunity to discover, that even in the chaos and unpredictability, there is an abundance of goodness. Right now, I want you to imagine that your summer is full of possibilities and potential. So let's embrace the imperfect moments of summer and uncover the hidden gems that make this season truly beautiful. The K.I.S.S. ~ Uncover the hidden gems! 1. Embrace Spontaneity Summer often disrupts our usual routines and schedules, and this can initially feel unsettling. However, instead of trying to control every moment, embrace the beauty of spontaneity. Allow yourself and your children to experience the joy of unexpected adventures, spontaneous playdates, and impromptu outings. These moments create lasting memories that cannot be replicated in a structured environment. Remember, it is in the moments of unplanned happiness that the best memories are made. Also, if you like teachable moments. Technically, you're teaching flexibility. Plus, you're getting to flex those muscles yourself. We all could use a little muscle memory, too. 2. Find Beauty in Simplicity Without the demands of school, summer offers a unique opportunity to slow down and savor the simple pleasures of life. Take time to enjoy lazy afternoons at the park, family picnics, or beach outings. Embrace the simplicity of children's laughter, melting ice cream, and warm summer breezes. Often, the most treasured moments are found in the simplest of experiences. 3. Cultivate a Grateful Heart Gratitude is a powerful tool for shifting our perspective from negative to positive. Instead of focusing on what feels overwhelming or challenging, choose to focus on the blessings that come with the summer season. Practice gratitude for the extra time you get to spend with your children, the opportunity to explore new places, and the chance to create beautiful memories together. Gratitude has the power to transform our mindset and help us see the goodness even in the midst of what may seem "bad." As parents, we often strive for perfection in our efforts to create an ideal summer experience for our children. Yet, it is important to remember that perfection is an illusion. Embrace the imperfections, the messiness, and the uncertainty, knowing that it is in these moments that true growth and joy reside. As American writer Henry David Thoreau beautifully said, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." Look beyond the chaos and find the beauty in the imperfect moments that make your summer season truly extraordinary. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 11113091 Remember the LessonsOur past is woven with both triumphs and failures, most of which we display the negative tapestry in our minds. Instead of getting caught up in what was bad, look to the good; remember the lessons. It's easy to get lost in the regrets, disappointments, and mistakes that have dotted our journey. But what if erasing those mistakes meant erasing the invaluable wisdom and growth we've acquired along the way? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It's a profound thought, one that reminds us to remember the lessons rather than dwell on the disappointments. For it is in this remembrance that we unlock the power to shape a future filled with impact and growth. Within each mistake, there is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. Instead of allowing our past missteps to define us, we have the opportunity to reflect upon them and extract the lessons they hold. Through this process of self-reflection, we can identify patterns, recognize our strengths, and acknowledge areas where we can still grow. It is through the wisdom gained from these reflections that we pave the way for better decision-making in the present and future. Disappointments can weigh heavy on your hearts, causing you to lose sight of your potential. However, upon closer examination, you realize that disappointment is merely the surface layer. Beneath it lies a profound universe of lessons waiting to be discovered. By shifting your focus from disappointment to learning, you transform setbacks into comebacks; opportunities for growth. Each lesson becomes a stepping stone towards success, guiding you towards better choices and paving the way for a brighter future. Why not build bridges toward your success? The K.I.S.S. ~ Remember the lessons! You have what it takes to unlock your potential from your ability to build resilience and perseverance through learning from your mistakes. And when you face challenges, it is through the lessons you learn that you develop the strength necessary to overcome future obstacles. So embrace the wisdom garnered from our past experiences, which will equip you with the fortitude needed to pursue your goals and make a positive impact on the world you touch. Your past does not define you; it merely provides a canvas upon which you can paint your future. By focusing on the lessons learned, you gain the power to reimagine yourself and envision a future abundant with personal and professional growth. What impact do you aspire to create? What steps can you take today to move closer to that vision? Don't wait another minute. Use the wisdom you've gained from your past and intentionally and actively shape a future that aligns with your values and aspirations. Your dreams are yours to realize.

- 11123090 Out of Sight, Out of MindIn our fast-paced lives, health goals seem to take a backseat. Don't let old habits die hard. Adopt what can serve your greater health; out of sight, out of mind. We often find ourselves giving in to temptations and falling back into unhealthy habits. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, by understanding the psychology behind the concept of "out of sight, out of mind," you can gain a new perspective on your well-being and pave the way for lasting positive change. Nothing is impossible! And yes!! You matter!!! But you have to understand that good or bad can be front and center. So you want to make sure you are building habits that create your now with an emphasis on well-being! The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! Life is too short to wait. You can do everything in one day. But you can take one step. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness! ~ Kristianne Wargo 1. Create a Supportive Environment a. Remove Temptations: When unhealthy snacks are within arm's reach, it's hard to resist them. Replace these items with nutritious alternatives like fruits and nuts. b. Organize Your Space: A clean and well-organized living space can promote a calm and focused mindset, making it easier to prioritize your health goals. c. Surround Yourself with Positive Influences: Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who share similar goals can provide inspiration, encouragement, and accountability. 2. Mindful Meal Planning a. Stock a Healthy Pantry: Fill your kitchen with nutritious ingredients to make meal prepping a breeze. Keep fresh produce visible and easily accessible, encouraging you to choose them over less healthy options. Color draws us closer. b. Portion Control: Use smaller plates and bowls to manage portion sizes. When we see less food on our plate, we naturally consume fewer calories but still feel satisfied. c. Meal Prepping: Prepare your meals in advance, portioning them into individual containers to minimize decision fatigue and avoid relying on last-minute fast food choices. 3. Utilize Technology Effectively a. Fitness Apps: Download fitness apps to track your activity levels, set goals, and receive reminders. These apps keep your health in focus, even on busy days. b. Healthy Recipe Apps: Explore apps that offer a vast collection of nutritious recipes to experiment with, making healthy cooking exciting and fun. c. Social Media for Inspiration: Follow health and wellness influencers or join online communities to stay motivated and gain insights from others on the path to better health. 4. Mental Well-being First a. Digital Detox: Limit screen time before bed, as exposure to blue light can disrupt sleep patterns. Establish a tech-free zone in your home to foster relaxation and disconnect from distractions. b. Mindfulness Practices: Incorporate mindfulness techniques like meditation or yoga into your daily routine to help manage stress levels and focus on your overall well-being. c. Celebrate Your Progress: Acknowledge and reward yourself when you reach milestones on your health journey. This positive reinforcement will help you stay motivated and enthusiastic about making further improvements. By embracing the "out of sight, out of mind" concept and applying it to our health goals, we can create an environment that supports healthy living and fosters positive habits. Keep the temptations away but with the good in front! Be mindful and persevere. You can change the course of your well-being and pave the way for a happier, healthier life. Remember, a small step today can lead to significant transformations tomorrow. Let's harness the power of psychology and take charge of our health one day at a time! "Train for life. Love your journey!" #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 11133089 Declare Your IndependenceWhen you stay focused and remain consistent with extreme conviction, obtaining your goals and dreams soon become a reality. As the U.S. celebrates her freedom, it's time to declare your independence. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co As we gather today, on the 4th of July, to celebrate the freedom we enjoy in the United States, it is essential to remember the incredible journey our forefathers embarked upon to make their dreams a reality. With unwavering focus and a burning desire to create a new nation, they put pen to paper to craft the Declaration of Independence, forever changing the course of history. When the founding fathers penned the Declaration of Independence, they made a bold declaration, asserting their determination to break free from the chains of oppression. Their conviction and courage remind us of the importance of clarifying our own goals and aspirations. Just like them, declare your independence from self-limiting beliefs, distractions, and doubts. By declaring your intentions, you set yourself on a path to success. The K.I.S.S. ~ Declare your independence! In the pursuit of your dreams, it is easy to get sidetracked by comparison or the desire to emulate others. However, those who signed the Declaration of Independence understood the significance of staying focused on their own vision. Just as they did not look side to side but remained united in their goals, you must learn to stay in your own lane and cultivate your unique talents and strengths, your God-given gifts. This unwavering focus enables you to make the most significant impact in your life and the lives of others. The journey to independence is seldom easy. The Founding Fathers experienced numerous challenges and setbacks in their quest for freedom. Yet, they never wavered or lost hope. Instead, they held on tightly to their belief in their vision. Similarly, you must remain steadfast in your commitment to your dreams, embracing the inevitable ups and downs that come with it. The process of realizing your goals often leads you down unexpected paths, fostering personal growth and creating a journey of a lifetime. "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." The 4th of July serves as a reminder of the incredible power that comes from staying focused and encouraged in the pursuit of our dreams. Just as our forefathers found inspiration in the Declaration of Independence, you can draw strength from their conviction to declare your own independence and create your now, a called life with passion. Stay in your lane, resist comparison, and embrace the journey ahead, knowing that with focus and encouragement, one step at a time leads to miles of greatness (Kristianne Wargo)!

- 11143088 Freedom Begins in the MindFreedom begins in the mind, and it is within your power to choose a mindset that sets you free. Declare your independence today and unlock your true potential! When we're in search of personal growth and success, the power of the mind and what happens within it, meaning your mindset, cannot be overlooked. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Just like the Declaration of Independence marked the birth of a nation founded on freedom and self-determination, we too can harness that spirit to declare independence from our own limiting beliefs. You can certainly draw inspiration from both Biblical principles and the ideals captured in the Declaration of Independence to the point where you can unlock your potential and lead a life filled with purpose and fulfillment. The K.I.S.S. ~ Freedom begins in the mind! 1. The Freedom of Choice Just as the Declaration of Independence proclaims the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we find a similar concept echoed in biblical teachings. Both emphasize the importance of having the freedom to choose our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. By realizing that we have control over our own minds, we can break free from the constraints of self-doubt and negativity. 2. Pursuit of Truth and Self-Discovery The Declaration of Independence suggests the need for critical thinking and the pursuit of truth. Similarly, the Bible encourages us to seek wisdom, knowledge, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. By adopting a growth mindset, we can continuously learn, evolve, and challenge our existing beliefs. This pursuit of truth and self-discovery allows us to break through limitations and expand our horizons. 3. Relying on Faith and Conviction The Declaration of Independence was a bold act fueled by the faith and conviction that a better future was within reach. Similarly, biblical teachings encourage us to have faith in ourselves and our abilities. By anchoring our mindset in unwavering belief and determination, we become empowered to overcome obstacles, persevere, and accomplish great things. 4. Embracing Resilience and Perseverance The journey to independence, whether personal or national, is often paved with challenges and setbacks. The Declaration of Independence underscores the resilience and perseverance required to achieve freedom. Similarly, biblical stories show us that trials and tribulations can be stepping stones to personal growth. Developing a mindset of resilience allows us to overcome adversity and bounce back stronger. Just as the Declaration of Independence symbolizes the birth of a nation founded on the principles of freedom and self-determination, it can serve as inspiration for our own personal journeys of growth and transformation. By adopting a mindset that embraces choice, truth-seeking, faith, and resilience, we can break free from self-imposed limitations and create a life filled with meaning, purpose, and freedom. Let us declare independence from our own limiting beliefs. Stack your ground. Get ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal fulfillment. Remember, freedom begins in the mind, and it is within your power to choose a mindset that sets you free. Declare your independence today and unlock your true potential! "Be present. Be incredible.

- 11153087 Are You Waiting for God to Go First?One way to define faith is by your actions or lack thereof. God guides you to positions, places, and possibilities. But it's up to you to take the first step. Are you waiting for God to go first? In our journey of faith, we often find ourselves waiting for God to make the first move. We look to Him for guidance, direction, and miraculous interventions. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But you must be willing to step out in faith, even when you cannot see the outcome. So take a deep breath. I want you to explore the concept of walking by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7), and how taking the first step can lead to extraordinary possibilities. Paul is writing to the Corinthians, specifically addressing the believers in the city of Corinth. This verse is part of a larger letter that Paul wrote to the Corinthian church to address various issues and encourage them in their faith. Preaching the truth of Christ to the world has brought Paul and his co-workers great suffering, yet they persist and persevere in contending for the faith. They refuse to give up, living with unwavering courage because they firmly believe in the resurrection of Christ. They eagerly anticipate receiving glorified, eternal bodies that will free them from all earthly burdens and striving. As Paul eloquently expresses in 2 Corinthians 5:7, they walk, or rather live or make a habit, by faith and not by what they see. In other words, their unshakable belief in the gospel, including their own resurrection and eternal fulfillment, that they too will be raised up, allows them to see beyond the present struggles. They may experience death, pain, suffering, adversity, opposition, and challenges, but they consider the unseen, yet promised, blessings awaiting them with Christ as more real than any temporary hardship in the present moment. The K.I.S.S. ~ Are you waiting for God to go first? Because you are called by God to walk by faith. Throughout the Bible, we are reminded of the importance of walking by faith. This verse encourages you to trust in God's plan, even when it doesn't appear logical or feasible. Just like Peter walked on water when Jesus called him to step out of the boat (Matthew 14:28-31), you too are called to trust and obey, even in the face of uncertainty. And remember, God guides, you decide. While God goes before you, leading you to positions, places, and possibilities, He also desires for you to participate actively in your faith journey. He wants you to step out in faith, even before you see the outcome. Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths." By acknowledging God and following His guidance, you open yourself up to incredible opportunities and blessings. Of course, you've got to step out in faith. Just as Peter experienced the freedom of walking on water once he took that first step, you too can experience the freedom and abundance that comes from walking by faith. When you decide to trust God and act in obedience, you tap into His strength (supernatural power and provision). It may not always be easy, and you will face challenges along the way, but by taking that leap of faith, you open yourself up to an extraordinary life of purpose and fulfillment. Don't wait for God to make the first move. Instead, choose to step out in faith and trust in His guidance. Remember that faith is not merely a belief system, but rather a transformative experience that requires action. Just like Peter, walking on water requires stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the unknown. Allow God to go before you, but be willing to cut in line and take that first step. As you walk by faith, not by sight, you'll discover the incredible possibilities that lie ahead. PRAYER: God doesn't want you to be a shadow. He wants you to step out in faith. God wants you to lead as He guides you so you can impact the world that you touch. May God continue to open the doors as you stay ready and willing to walk by faith, not by sight. "Be present.

- 11163086 Are Your Buttons Being Pushed?**Summary:** "Marriage isn't always smooth sailing. We've all experienced those moments when our buttons get pushed. But do these triggers reveal more about us than we'd like to think? This episode delves into the challenging aspects of relationships, suggesting tactful and loving ways we can respond to these trying circumstances. Learn how living out virtues like empathy, gratitude, and effective communication can not only ease tension, but also forge stronger bonds between spouses. It might not be easy, but your marriage is worth the work. Dive in if you're ready for some real talk on marriage." **Key Points:** 1. **Practicing Empathy:** Understand your spouse's perspective even if their actions or words hurt or frustrate you. Reacting defensively is not the way to go. Instead, aim to understand the sentiment behind their words or actions. 2. **Cultivating Gratitude:** Focusing on your spouse's flaws can hinder unconditional love. Shift your focus towards the things you appreciate about them. 3. **Effective Communication:** When faced with uncomfortable situations, respond thoughtfully instead of impulsively. Practice active listening to foster better understanding. **Links Mentioned:** - Bible verses quoted: - [Ephesians 4:32](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204%3A32&version=NIV) - [Philippians 4:8](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%204%3A8&version=NIV) - [Proverbs 15:1](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+15%3A1&version=NIV) 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

- 11173085 The Power of ExpectationsParents play a crucial role in shaping our children's future. Our expectations have the potential to either become a sturdy brick wall limiting their growth, or a stairway to greatness. How will the power of your expectations set your kids up for success? Think about it. Where you place the floor or the ceiling for your child will most definitely have an impact on what they do in their lives. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Most parents want what's best for their kiddos. Oftentimes, parents set high expectations, basically raising the bar so they will turn out better than themselves. Who doesn't want to empower their child to soar to new heights? However, setting those expectations can come with a cost. Now, sometimes it's worth the cost, but how do you know? Are you doing what's right for your child, or is what you are doing actually stunting your child? I was reading a prayer from Timothy Keller who is an American pastor and theologian who's written many books, and it really took me back. Honestly, I was getting ready for my son to come home and visit from his internship for the holiday weekend, and so obviously, I made a parent-child connection. "If you love anything at all in this world more than God, you will crush that object under the weight of your expectations, and it will eventually break your heart. ~ Timothy Keller, prayer" As I began to break it down, I couldn't help but think how my expectations could actually be hurting my child. And not that I meant to. But what is really best for your child? Because when they fail, we hurt. The way you raise up your child has an incredible impact, good or bad. And who wants to crush their child? No one!!! We want our children to succeed and experience more success than we had growing up. Yet, what we think might be good for our children, maybe it's more for us than them. How do you know the magnitude of the power of your expectations for your child will set them up for success? You've gotta build stairways, not walls. The K.I.S.S. ~ Build stairways, not walls! Expectations play a significant role in shaping the lives of our children. However, it is essential to approach this power with wisdom and balance. The Bible often speaks about the significance of guiding and training up our children. Proverbs 22:6 ~ "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it." Establishing a strong foundation rooted in faith and virtuous values enables our children to navigate life's challenges with integrity, intentionality, and direction. Lead with Unconditional Love: Central to our role as parents is the unconditional love we have for our children. The Bible repeatedly emphasizes the power of love in nurturing growth and development. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, we are reminded of the characteristics of love: patience, kindness, protection, trust, and perseverance. By embracing these qualities, it allows us to create an atmosphere of acceptance and support, where our children can explore their passions, make mistakes, and learn valuable life lessons without fear. Again, you are building the stairway, not the wall. Guide with Grace: Our expectations should be grounded in grace, understanding, and empathy, rather than imposing unattainable standards. Perfection does not work! The Bible encourages us to be patient and compassionate in guiding our children. Ephesians 6:4 ~ "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." Avoid harshness and instead parent with discipline that fosters growth, discipline infused with love and understanding. Recognize Individuality: Just as each of us is unique, so are our children. So celebrate individuality and honor the diverse talents and gifts bestowed upon your children. Romans 12:6 ~ "We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us." By nurturing their individual passions, interests, and strengths, you will equip your children to discover their true potential and pursue their unique calling. Building Character and Resilience: This is where balance comes in. Your expectations should not only focus on achievements but also on character development and resilience. Trials and challenges are essential for building strength and character. James 1:2-4 ~ "Consider 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." By instilling a growth and abundance mindset within your children, you teach them to embrace challenges, learn from setbacks, and develop the resilience needed to navigate life's obstacles; what's getting in the way. Mom, Dad– we hold the privilege and responsibility of shaping our children's lives. You have got to be willing to set your expectations to the side and tap into what God has in store for your child. You can't build a stairway of greatness on your own strength. You need God to do the impossible. So by harnessing the power of expectations rooted in biblical principles, you can become agents of growth and empowerment, fueling your child's journey towards greatness. Get on your knees. By embracing love, wisdom, and grace, you create an environment where our children can thrive and fulfill their God-given potential. Don't think you've got it all under control. Approach parenting with humility. Keep your family rooted in God's Word. And as you train them up with good ethics and morals, and biblical teachings, and become the catalysts for their stairway to greatness. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 11183084 Write Your StoryLife is a remarkable journey; a rollercoaster worth the ride. Within all this beautiful chaos, there's no better way to preserve the essence of your experiences than to write your story. "A life worth living is a life worth recording." - Jim Rohn Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Journaling holds the key to capturing these moments and cherishing them for years to come. It is a practice that allows you to reflect, grow, and create a living legacy. Whether in the form of a personal diary or a collection of thoughts, journaling offers a profound opportunity for introspection and self-discovery. It serves as a mirror, reflecting our innermost thoughts, emotions, and aspirations. Through the act of putting pen to paper, you embark on a voyage of self-reflection, personal growth and development, and healing. When you reflect upon your journeys, you gain valuable insights into your life. You identify patterns, recognize areas for improvement, and celebrate your accomplishments. Journaling becomes a powerful tool to realign your actions with your aspirations. It helps you prioritize what truly matters and navigate the labyrinth of life with intention and purpose, those mazes were you get lost too often. In the busyness of your life, journaling makes a way to be present and mindful. Slow down. Take a moment and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. By documenting even the simplest of joys and expressing gratitude for what you have, you cultivate a deeper sense of contentment and fulfillment. The K.I.S.S. ~ Write your story! Beyond the realm of self-reflection, when you write your story, it holds the power to heal. It becomes a safe space where you can pour your emotions onto the pages and untangle the complexities that life presents. It's in your writing that you give yourself permission to express feelings of happiness, sadness, frustration, or hope. As you witness your thoughts and emotions on paper, you gain clarity, find peace, and grow stronger in your emotional well-being. The more you write, the more you see your unique perspectives, values, and lessons for yourself and future generations. Your story becomes a time capsule, allowing those who come after you to gain insight and inspiration from your life. You, my friend, are a living legacy! As fast as the world is changing, writing your story is an anchor amidst the storm. It is a practice that invites you to pause, reflect, and connect with who you are becoming and, more importantly, God. So, let's have a transformative day. Write your story no matter which way. Embrace your stories every day., both big and small. Uncover what's hidden deep within and expose the secrets that will change the world you touch. Leave your indelible mark on this world, for a life worth living is a life worth recording. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 11193083 Boost Your MoodWho wants to feel bad or feel like nothing matters? Everyone goes through difficult times when they feel stuck, unmotivated, and tired. Even with a great life, you struggle. But don't worry! There's always a way to lift your spirit! Say yes to boost your mood! In your every day, there are so many areas where you can do something to elevate how you feel. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co I want to give you three areas where you can boost your mood: food, fitness, and fellowship. FOOD: Nutritional Delights When it comes to boosting your mood, the food you eat plays a significant role. Certain foods are known to have a positive impact on your brain chemistry and can help improve your overall well-being. Here are 10 mood-boosting foods that will nourish both your body and mind: 1. Dark Chocolate: Indulge in a small piece of dark chocolate to stimulate the release of endorphins, which are chemicals that contribute to feelings of pleasure and happiness. 2. Berries: Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, berries like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries offer a natural boost to mood and cognitive function. 3. Fatty Fish: Fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and boost overall brain health. 4. Leafy Greens: Greens like spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are loaded with folate and other essential nutrients that support the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation. 5. Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients that promote brain health and stability. 6. Avocado: This creamy fruit contains healthy fats, fiber, and various minerals that not only promote a healthy heart but also support brain function and mood stability. 7. Greek Yogurt: Rich in protein, Greek yogurt helps stabilize blood sugar levels and contains amino acids that support the production of mood-boosting neurotransmitters like serotonin. 8. Whole Grains: Complex carbohydrates found in whole grains like oats, quinoa, and brown rice increase the production of serotonin, providing a natural mood lift. 9. Turmeric: This spice contains curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Consuming turmeric regularly has been linked to improved mood and reduced symptoms of depression. 10. Green Tea: High in antioxidants and containing the amino acid theanine, green tea can help relax the mind, improve focus, and promote a sense of well-being. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! FITNESS: Pump up the Jam Exercising not only benefits our physical health but also has a powerful impact on our mood and mental well-being. Engaging in regular physical activity can help release endorphins, reduce stress, and improve overall mood. Here are 10 mood-boosting exercises that can uplift your spirits and leave you feeling energized: 1. Cardiovascular Exercises: Activities like running, cycling, dancing, or swimming increase your heart rate and promote the release of endorphins, providing an instant mood uplift. 2. Yoga: Known for its focus on breathing and mindfulness, yoga combines gentle movements with deep breathing, helping to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve overall mood. 3. Strength Training: Engage in weightlifting or bodyweight exercises to increase your strength and build endurance. Strength training has been linked to improved self-esteem and confidence, positively impacting mood. 4. Pilates: This low-impact exercise focuses on controlled movements that enhance strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Practicing Pilates can help relieve stress and improve mood. 5. Walking or Hiking: Taking a walk in nature or going for a hike in the mountains can have a profound effect on your mood. Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce feelings of stress and increase feelings of well-being. 6. Dance: Join a dance class or simply dance around your living room to your favorite tunes. Dancing releases endorphins and allows you to express yourself creatively, boosting your mood and spirits. 7. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods can help release endorphins and provide a sense of accomplishment, leaving you feeling invigorated and positive. 8. Tai Chi: This ancient Chinese martial art combines slow, fluid movements with deep breathing and meditation. Tai Chi promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and enhances overall mood. 9. Group Exercise Classes: Joining group exercise classes, such as spinning, Zumba, or aerobics, not only provides a fun and social element but also boosts your mood through the combination of music, movement, and high energy. 10. Mindful Stretching: Incorporate mindful stretching routines, such as yoga stretches or focused stretching exercises, to release tension, improve flexibility, and promote a sense of calm and well-being. Get moving and start reaping the mood-boosting rewards today! GENERAL EVERY DAY: Uplift Your Spirit These are 10 simple ways to help boost your mood and feel better: 1. Take Deep Breaths - Deep breathing is a great way to calm your mind and relax your body. Inhale for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, and exhale for 5 seconds. 2. Write Your Thoughts - Writing down your thoughts and feelings can help you identify what's bothering you and give you a clear perspective. Try writing in a journal or sending a text to a friend. 3. Listen to Music - Listening to your favorite music can instantly improve your mood. Make a playlist with your favorite songs that make you feel happy and energized. 4. Take a Walk - Taking a walk outside can help clear your mind and recharge your body. Even a short walk around the block can make a big difference. 5. Meditate - Meditation is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety. It can also help you focus on the present moment and increase your overall sense of well-being. 6. Connect with Friends and Loved Ones - Spend time with friends or family members who make you feel happy and supported. Talk about positive things and catch up on each other's lives. 7. Practice Gratitude - Focus on the positive things in your life and practice gratitude. Write down three things you're grateful for every day or send a thank-you note to someone who has helped you recently. 8. Enjoy a Hobby - Dedicate some time to a hobby you enjoy doing, like cooking, baking, painting, or gardening. Hobbies can help you relax and feel fulfilled. 9. Treat Yourself - Treat yourself to something you enjoy, like a delicious meal or your favorite dessert. Do something that makes you happy and feel good. 10. Laugh and Smile: Surround yourself with laughter whenever possible. Watch a funny video clip, read a witty joke, or share a funny anecdote with a friend. Additionally, make a conscious effort to smile more throughout the day. Smiling not only enhances your own mood but also has a contagious effect on others. Now, you don't have an excuse not to boost your mood. Find what works best for you and make it a habit. Remember, you have the power to boost your mood and feel better today! "Train for Life.

- 11203082 Much or Little?Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands of your busy schedule? Have you ever wondered how to fit in more of what you truly want or need to do? If so, it's time to start asking yourself, "Much or little?" It's easy to get caught up in the pressure to be productive all the time. But if we're always on the go, we risk neglecting our mental and physical health. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co So, take a step back and evaluate what's truly important. What are your priorities, and how can you make time for them? We live in a society that idolizes productivity and multitasking, but at what cost? It's essential to evaluate how much we can realistically take on without sacrificing our mental and physical health. Sometimes, we need to ask ourselves, "Is it worth it?" or "What are the consequences of saying yes?" Remember, you have the power to choose how you spend your precious time. Don't let the fear of missing out or society's expectations dictate your schedule. Instead, prioritize what really matters to you and block out time for those activities. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! "Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment, and to either of these ends, there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing." - Thomas Edison. There is an importance of having a purposeful strategy in our work, rather than just being busy for the sake of it. It emphasizes the need for preparation and planning in order to truly accomplish something meaningful. It ties in with the idea of asking ourselves "much or little" and prioritizing what's truly important, rather than just filling up our schedules with busy work. Our kids complain at school that the only thing they get is busy work from their teachers. Why are we doing this to ourselves after we grow up? (Well, that can be for another episode.) But when you're feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath and remind yourself that less is often more. In fact, slowing down is speeding up. So take those breaks to help you be more productive in the long run. Practice self-care, delegate tasks, and avoid distractions to stay focused on your goals. Whether it's pursuing your passion, spending time with loved ones, or simply taking a few moments to relax, make it a priority. So, ask yourself, "Much or little?" and start making time for the things that truly matter. You've got this! "Be present. Be incredible.

- 11213081 Wanna Be Happy?The world can seem cold and dark. You might be stuck in the pain, and all you can do is blame. But why give in and complain? Take heart to who matters; you wanna be happy. Happiness is one of those things that when you aren't feeling it, you want to feel it. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co You begin clinging to what you don't have, wishing that all could be different. You take yourself down memory lane (usually too often and too far), and take inventory of all the things where you felt lost, disconnected, unsure of yourself; just questioning everything about everyone, especially yourself. Fear jumps up, front and center, and all you can do is coward back to the corner of rejection and your foolish ways of discounting all that you have to offer the world. Sound all too familiar? Sound a little too close to home? Happiness is not felt, it's created by your actions, thoughts, words; how you communicate with the world you touch. But the first communication has to start inwardly. You have to see the happiness within to be able to give it to others. You know everyone wants to be happy. It's a common thread that runs through all of us. But as you know, happiness is not something that comes naturally to everyone. It's not something that you wait for or hope for. It's not something that falls into your lap. Happiness is a choice, and it's up to you to make it happen. The old saying, "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life," is true. You have to work within your calling, your passion, your gifts and talents, and your interests to be truly happy. When you do what you love, you feel fulfilled, energized, and motivated. You are more likely to create that feeling of bliss, the happiness in your everyday tasks and challenges that come your way. Life comes with a lot of changes. Change is a constant. But one thing that doesn't have to change is how to make a choice and choose to be happy when you create your now. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! You wanna be happy! Your life doesn't have to resemble calm, cool, and collected to be in a happy state. There are many days that I run around going from one project to the next, hoping to keep my mind in place, but happiness still abounds. Happiness is not a choice of when, it's a matter of perspective. 1. Be present Presence conquers fear that lingers in the hallways of your heart. You don't have to have all the money in the world to be happy. But you do have to present in order to use it. Right? You can't interject the feelings of warm snuggles and smiles unless you're present. It's easy to get caught up in worries about the future or regrets about the past. Instead, try to focus on being content in the moment. This might mean taking a few moments to appreciate the beauty of nature, connecting with loved ones, or engaging in a mindfulness or meditation practice. You have to slow down to speed up. Presence also invokes the simplicity of balance. All seems right with your world when you feel like you're in control. Life may be throwing curveballs, yet you're catching everyone of them. Not much has to throw you off base. Be present. 2. Be grateful When you focus on what you are grateful for, it sets the stage for acceptance and genuine compassion for what's to come. As much as you think you're in control, you so are not. You only control yourself. But what you can control is the environment you create around who you are. If you feel welcomed in your own space, imagine how someone will feel welcomed by your grace. So when you step out of your comfort zone with gratitude, the fear of the unknown fades, which makes way for better days. "Gratitude is the spice to keep life nice." ~ Kristianne Wargo Be grateful. 3. Take A.I.M. "Action ignites motivation!" ~ Kristianne Wargo When you have something to work towards, it can help you feel motivated and accomplished. So let your actions and words create your now. Identify what you want in this season of your life. Break them down into smaller, actionable steps. Don't try to do everything in one day! You're fooling yourself. But you can borrow Arnold's movie quote, "I'll be back.". If you did everything in one day, what would you have to look forward to tomorrow? As you take A.I.M. in your every day, you master your life in every way. But don't forget the most important step. In all that you do, do it for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). This is the beginning of choosing to see life in a unique manner, not expecting something from your success or failure, but recognizing that with each step you take, happiness is homemade. The world can seem cold and dark. You might be stuck in the pain, and all you can do is blame. But why give in and complain? Take heart to who matters; you wanna be happy. "Be present. Be incredible.

- 11223080 Fill My CupYou treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch. You honor me as Your guest, and You fill my cup until it overflows. Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in Your house, Lord. ~ Psalm 23:5-6 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Whose door are you knocking on? Are you trying to fit in with everyone else around your neighborhood or in the church? Are you trying to be somebody you're not because you want to feel accepted? God loves you! Just as you are. But you're missing Him because you're chasing the wrong thing, the wrong person. God has an open-door policy for you. He never shuts you out. He has a seat at the table for you. And even though people you thought you could trust hurts you, He's got you. And when your enemies come to beat you down, He meets them with you. The K.I.S.S. ~ Fill my cup! So let me ask you... Who or what are you chasing that is keeping your eyes off of God? Those distractions have got to go. Let God be God! Don't try and be the hero in your own life. Own what you've done, and let God be the hero for you. Ask Him to fill your cup. You can start by saying a prayer and inviting Him into your every day. Don't assume that He's going to be a bully and wreck your day to get your attention. He wants you to intentionally follow Him and ask Him to fill your cup. So when life gets a little crazy, simply repeat this verse. 5 You treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch. You honor me as Your guest, and You fill my cup until it overflows. 6 Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in your house, Lord. ~ Psalm 23:5-6 PRAYER: May your heart beat for the love of Christ, and may your schedule be to dine with Him every day.

- 11233079 Ready for an Upgrade?Marriage is a beautiful bond between two people. But maybe you're ready for an upgrade, thinking the grass is always greener on the other side when it comes to your spouse. Often, the best way to upgrade your relationship is to upgrade yourself. When you think about it, as two people come together, each with their own set of beliefs, values, and habits, there will inevitably be disagreements, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, it is how we overcome these challenges that can make or break the marriage. So instead of viewing the difficulties of marriage as a sign that something is wrong with our spouse, we should consider it as an opportunity for growth and self-improvement. By upgrading ourselves, we can improve the overall quality of our relationship and experience deeper love and connection with our partner. Now one reason why you should consider upgrading yourself in your marriage is that you have the most control over yourself and your actions. It's easy to blame your spouse for the problems in the relationship, but if you take responsibility for your own growth and improvement, you can create positive changes that will benefit you both. Yet, if you keep doing things the same way, you can't expect different results. Coming from this perspective, too, upgrading ourselves can lead to greater satisfaction and happiness in our own lives. When we take the time to work on personal growth and development, we cultivate a sense of calling, fulfillment, and inner peace that can have a positive impact on all areas of our lives, including our relationships. So now that you're ready for an upgrade, and no, not a new spouse, how can you upgrade? Change your reflection! The K.I.S.S. ~ Change your reflection! And please know, this has nothing to do with the way you look, your shape, or your size. This is about how you show up in your everyday dealing with what comes your way today. 1. Communicate in love, and more effectively Communication is essential in any relationship, but it's particularly critical in a marriage. Make time to talk to your spouse every day. Ask questions, listen to their responses, and respond with empathy and compassion. Communication is about comprehension. Understand to the fullest. 2. Show appreciation unexpectedly It's easy to take your spouse for granted and only focus on their faults. You knock them down more than you build them up. But if you want to upgrade your relationship, it's important to appreciate the things your spouse does well. Take the time to acknowledge and thank your partner for the things they do for you. 3. Prioritize intimacy daily Marriage is more than just a friendship or companionship. Physical intimacy is a crucial aspect of a healthy relationship. Make time for intimacy, whether it's a date night or just cuddling on the couch. When we prioritize intimacy, we deepen our emotional connection with our spouse. 4. Work on your personal development and growth When you work on your personal development, you become better a person, which translates into becoming a better spouse. Take time to work on who you are becoming, know where you fall short, prioritize self-care, and challenge yourself to be better today than yesterday. When you take care of yourself, you bring more to the relationship table. 5. Practice forgiveness for yourself and let go of grudges that you hold Forgiveness is essential in any relationship, but it's particularly critical in a marriage. Holding onto resentment and grudges can hinder growth and progress in yourself. If you can't let go of things for yourself, you will not be able to let go of things done to you. Practice forgiveness, especially for the smaller things. All of this leads to loving your reflection. The more you love yourself, the more love you have to give away. Marriage is an ongoing journey. Love grows where love is planted. There are always new ways to upgrade and improve. But by focusing on your reflection, you will experience deeper love and stronger connections. So, what are you waiting for? It's time for an upgrade! "Be present. Be incredible.

- 11243078 How Many Summers Do You Have Left with Your Kids?Summer is a season that brings joy and memories to many of us, and it's especially important for parents who have children. Stop and think. How many summers do you have left with your kids? The reality is that you only have 18 summers with your children before they grow up and leave the nest, or at least they're more on their own and less dependent on you. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co During this time, these are formative years that help to shape your children, and it's important to make the most of those years. But sometimes, life gets in the way. Between the laundry and dishes, you've got education and tires to replace. That's what I found myself working on the last few days. Two vehicles, 8 new tires. However, we can't get entangled with only the mundane things that pull us away from the little things that matter most in the long run. Your children need you!! And believe it or not, you need your children. My children have taught me so much about myself that, at times, it's pretty scary. Just look in the cute mirror you brought into the world. How are you spending your summers? Just a couple of days ago, it was the summer solstice; the longest day of the year and the first official day of summer. How did you spend that day? What I am finding is that families are being challenged in what they do together, because so much is brought to us at our fingertips. Look at our technological advancements. So if you want to be a part of your child's life more so than just a disciplinarian, you have to be intentional about how you spend your time together, especially your summers. You only have a total of 18 and counting. Now, I get that you will still have summers together after they move out. But it's not the same. Your greatest influence is created in the four walls you live in. And that comes from their formative young child-rearing years. So, what can you do to create memories, build strong relationships, and raise your kids well every summer? You've gotta come together to stay together. The K.I.S.S. ~ Come together! It doesn't have to break the bank. I really want you to think about some out-of-the-box ideas. Go beyond the norm. Because that's where your memories will be born. 1. Create a Summer Bucket List: Sit down with your kids and create a list of things you all want to do over the summer. This can include things like visiting a new museum or theme park, camping, or trying a new restaurant. 2. Plan a Family Staycation: You don't need to travel far to have a great summer vacation. Explore your city, plan a day trip, or even just have a movie marathon at home. The important thing is to spend quality time together as a family. 3. Get Outside: There's no better way to enjoy the summer sun than to spend time outdoors. Take a hike, go for a bike ride, or have a picnic in the park. "Don't let money get in the way of what matters." ~ Kristianne Wargo 4. Learn Something New: Summer is a great time to dive into a new hobby or skill. Take a cooking class, learn how to paint, or start a new sport together. 5. Volunteer Together: Volunteering as a family not only helps others in need, but also teaches your kids valuable life lessons. Help out at a local food bank or animal shelter, or participate in a beach clean up. Summer is great for memories to be made. It's usually a time of calm and adventure. So create an environment where your children can thrive and grow up to become productive adults. Every summer provides an opportunity to build strong relationships and create lasting memories with our children that will last a lifetime. Don't take the summers you have with your kiddos for granted. Embrace every summer and make the most of the time you have together. So what will you start planning today to make this summer the best one yet? "Be present. Be incredible.

- 11253077 Hold the LineEven when life becomes a little rocky, you are called to utilize your gifts and share your talents. Don't worry about a thing. When the going gets tough, hold the line. Life is always going to have ups and downs. Maybe yesterday was one of those days. If you had young children, the longest day of the year is not always the best. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Isn't bedtime yet? Yes, we giggle a little. But it's the truth. You can't control the weather, what happens to you, or what happens around you. However, you can control your response. Hold the line. The K.I.S.S. ~ Hold the line! Believe it or not, you are stronger than you think you are. You can handle much more than what you think you can. Think of it this way. When you feel like giving up, it means persevering. It means staying in the game even when you want to quit. It means refusing to give up because you believe in yourself, and you believe in your dreams. Holding the line isn't always easy. It requires you to keep moving forward, even when you feel like you're not making any progress. But the truth is, every step you take is one step closer to achieving your goals. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo You need to remember that even if you fail, it doesn't mean you label yourself as a failure. Every obstacle is a teachable moment. You have the opportunity to learn and grow. Look at it this way. As my good friend, Dan Miller says, "What does this make possible?" You get to choose to those experiences to become stronger and more resilient. "Resilience does not happen because life is easy. Resilience comes with resistance." ~ Kristianne Wargo Become unstoppable. Hold the line. So today, start by taking that next step. No matter how small it may seem, it is a step in the right direction. Then, be present. We don't worry about what's next or what's behind you. Stay in the present and be intentional about making the most of every opportunity. Peter Gabriel said, "I hold the line, the line of strength that pulls me from the fear." Now Gabriel is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He rose to fame as the original lead singer of the progressive rock band Genesis. What I found very interesting is his early influences. And he said, "Hymns played quite a large part. They were the closest I came to soul music before I discovered soul music. There are certain hymns that you can scream your lungs out on, and I used to love that. It was great when you used to get the old shivers down the back." Take a page out from Peter Gabriel. Make a little soul noise. Lean on God's strength. You don't have to hold the line alone. God's got you! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

- 11263076 Are You Afraid of the Scale?It's easy to become obsessed with the number on the scale, especially when you've been taught to associate your worth with your weight. Are you afraid of the scale? Losing weight and living a healthy life is challenging, especially for those of us who are afraid of the scale. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But the truth is, your weight is just a number. While it's important to know where you stand in terms of your weight and overall health, it's equally important to focus on the lifestyle you're creating over time with consistent actions. How long has it taken you to get to where you are today? If you're talking about a decade, then why do you want to lose weight in 3 months? Come on! Let's use a little common sense so we don't become obsessive over the number on the scale. Now, you've probably heard the basics of reaching your desirable weight. Set realistic and achievable goals Track your progress Focus on the benefits Don't compare yourself to others Patience is key All of that sounds wonderful. But in a practical sense, it's a bunch of hogwash! How many times have you found yourself in that position, yet not reaching what you were going after? Healthy living is beyond tough. And there are so many temptations that lure you in the wrong direction. So let's take a different approach. Extinguish all temptations! The K.I.S.S. ~ Extinguish all temptations! And that might be getting rid of the children. Just kidding!! We love them, but we do cook for them. However, I want you to look at your environment. What needs to change that you can control? Now that's an important factor. We can want to go away for months or a year, and do our own thing. But realistically... not gonna happen! Kitchen - What can be tossed away or cleaned out? Maybe you create your own cabinet or area. Get rid of the stuff in the pantry that doesn't serve you. Replace it with only what you need for a week, at most 2 weeks at a time. Game Room or Movie Theatre or Family - Do you have snacks readily available? Maybe you have a small fridge that needs to be stocked differently. Bedroom - Where are your mirrors? Maybe you can strategically place them so you are NOT obsessed with the process of healthy living. Move the full-length mirror to another room and use it only when absolutely necessary. Closest - How many clothes are hanging up that you can't wear; too small or too big? Clear out the clothes that don't fit. You can choose to donate some if you want. Or pack them away for 6 months. You will know when your body is changing. Then you can go shopping in your own storage area. Patio - Is the furniture comfortable for you now? Depending on your size, you may not want to sit where you used to hang out. So change up the area. Don't spend a lot of money, but get a chair you want to be in. Who doesn't need to be outside for some Vitamin D? Refrigerator - What can you replace for your easy grabs? Bedroom - How does your bedroom make you feel? If you are one who doesn't sleep well and there is extra tension, that in itself can lead to stress and an increase in cortisol. Extinguish the temptations! Get rid of what's not serving you. It might be a forever goodbye. Or it might be a "See ya later, alligator." Doing what seems obvious might be the most challenging of you reaching your goals. And keep in mind. You are looking at a lifestyle. This is a long-term commitment. Don't rush what needs to be built over time. You got this! "Train for life.

- 11273075 Start the Next ChapterLife is a bumpy road that challenges us, tests us, and brings us to our knees at times. But it is also full of potential and endless possibilities. You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one. Every day presents new opportunities to start afresh, to begin a new chapter, and to rewrite our stories. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The journey is waiting for us to embrace and explore it. As we embark on this journey called life, we are bound to meet obstacles and roadblocks. It may seem easy to dwell on what went wrong in your past, but the truth is that looking back only confuses the direction you're headed. You become so consumed with your mistakes, failures, and missed opportunities that you forget to look ahead and move forward. It's time to let go of the past and start the next chapter of your life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Start the next chapter! Yes, it may be scary to take that first step but do it anyway. You never know what amazing things could be waiting for you on the other side. Dig in deep and press ahead. The only way to make progress is to keep moving forward. Believe in yourself and trust that you are capable of achieving greatness. The journey may be long and arduous, but remember that every small step counts. Even the tiniest step can lead to a better tomorrow. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo This is a chance to rewrite your story, to create a tale full of adventure, joy, and success. Don't let your fears, doubts, or past define who you are and what you can achieve. Life is full of surprises, and it's up to us to make the most of them. Start the next chapter and be the author of your own story. It's never too late to follow your dreams and find fulfillment in life. The time is now. The opportunity is yours. Life is a journey with endless paths, and it is up to you to decide which direction you're headed. Instead of dwelling on your past, you must embrace the present and start the next chapter of your life. Believe in yourself, have faith in your abilities, and embark on this new adventure with hope and enthusiasm. Remember, every small step counts. Let's make this next chapter the best one yet.

- 11283074 Is the Profit Worth the Cost of the Purpose?Making money and living the dream is a marvelous way to enjoy life. But is the profit worth the cost of the purpose? Live with intention, not prevention. Matthew 16:26 ~ "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co I think a lot of us are living to prevent the result of something else, whatever that something else is. Poverty Homelessness Routines/Schedules Shackled to a desk Living paycheck to paycheck Having a boss Always chasing (going after what you don't have) When attacking life from the perspective of prevention, you're exchanging your soul for something that you don't want. Therefore, you might be leaving what you do want on the table, because you can't see what you can't see. Now, this prevention comes from the desire to be profitable. But at what cost? There is nothing wrong with making money. Money is a gift and can be used for good, just as it can be used for bad. Again, it comes down to the cost. Are you willing to give up everything? And coming from the Christian perspective, your purpose is to glorify God and to know Him. Now, you do have gifts and talents. You have a calling placed on your life. And you can connect that all to an "earthly" purpose if you so desire. Yet for this discussion, I'm using "purpose" from a biblical meaning. The K.I.S.S. ~ Live with intention, not prevention! I was listening to an interview with Ben Roethlisberger (18 years with Pittsburgh Steelers), and he mentioned how his upbringing was grounded in Jesus Christ. He was raised in the church. But football got in the way of keeping God number one. And he even let his wife slip to number 4 or 5. As he continued to share, he said that even his father was afraid to talk to him, because his dad didn't think he would pay attention or care. Ben owned this mess he chose to put himself in. He chose profit over his soul. Meanwhile, God was still working on him. And eventually, he had his "coming to Jesus" moment. And now, football was no longer number one. It was more like 4 or 5. Even his marriage suffered. He said after about 5 or 6 years, he wasn't even putting his wife at the top. Their kiddos beat her out. That's wrong! He had to own the mess he created by putting profit before his purpose. CHALLENGE: What are you giving up in order to gain? Are you ready to lose your family to gain money or fame? Are you ready to lose your faith to gain the fame? Are you ready to lose your sanity to gain your personal freedom? Life is not easy, but there is some common sense that you cannot ignore. "Don't give up your purpose to pursue your profits!" ~ Kristianne Wargo God's got something bigger in store for you. But if you let your own definition of success rule the way, you will never rule your day. You will be held captive to the profits of what destroyed your purpose. Your priority is the pursuit of a relationship that will change your life and impact the world that you touch. Slow down so you can speed up. God wants to give you more than you can imagine. But you have to be willing to let Him. Be patient. Be consistent. Be intentional. PRAYER: May the Lord bless your comings and goings, as you commit to pursuing Him every day! This is your day to experience His blessings. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.
