Thoughts do not happen. They are formed from your surroundings, experience, and influence. However, it does not give you an excuse to ignore them. Thoughts are meant to be formed; master your mind. In a world filled with distractions and constant noise, mastering your mind can be the key to unlocking your full potential and achieving personal growth. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It can take you from being average to becoming who God created you to be. Thoughts are not mere fleeting occurrences; they have the power to shape our reality and influence our actions. If you want to master your mind, then you want to harness the power of your thoughts. The K.I.S.S. ~ Harness the power of your thoughts! The importance of harnessing the power of your thoughts with the guidance of biblical wisdom can change your perspective and the lenses in which you see the world. Here are three actionable steps to help you master your mind. 1. Rewire Your Mind: Just as we can train our bodies to become stronger through consistent exercise, we can rewire our minds to think more positively and productively. Romans 12:2 reminds us, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." By aligning our thought patterns with God's truth, we can experience a renewed perspective on life and make choices that honor Him and us. This involves consciously replacing negative thought patterns with empowering ones. For example, instead of saying, "I can't do this," shift your mindset to "I am capable of overcoming any challenge." By practicing mindfulness and self-awareness, you can reprogram your brain to default to positive thinking in everyday situations. "Our thoughts have the power to shape our reality. By rewiring our minds to focus on the positive, we can create a life filled with abundance and joy through God." - Kristianne Wargo 2. Renew Your Mind: Renewing your mind involves engaging in activities that stimulate creativity, critical thinking, and growth. Philippians 4:8 encourages us, "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." By immersing yourself in God-honoring content and surrounding yourself with positive influences, you can elevate your thoughts and actions. This can include reading inspiring books, attending personal development seminars, or surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who challenge and uplift you. By exposing yourself to new ideas and perspectives, you can broaden your mental horizons and expand your capacity for innovative thinking. This makes way for you to think outside yourself and challenge your thoughts. "Renewing your mind is like watering a garden; only with nurturing and care can it flourish and bear fruit." - Kristianne Wargo 3. Reset Your Mind: Just as a computer occasionally needs to be rebooted to function optimally, our minds also benefit from periodic resets. Psalm 46:10 reminds us, "Be still, and know that I am God." Take time to reset your mind through practices such as meditation, journaling, or simply taking a break from the busyness of daily life to reflect and recharge. It allows you to clear the mental clutter and align your thoughts with God's purpose and gain clarity amidst life's busyness. "In the stillness of reflection, we find clarity and purpose. Resetting our minds is not a luxury but a necessity for sustainable growth and well-being." - Kristianne Wargo In order to master your mind, it becomes a lifelong journey that requires dedication, self-awareness, and a willingness to challenge your existing beliefs. By taking proactive steps to rewire, renew, and reset your mind, you can unleash the full potential of your thoughts and create your now. Remember, thoughts are not mere happenings; they are the building blocks of your reality. Master your mind, and you master your life. "Be present. Be incredible.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ~ Romans 15:13 (NIV) In the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and disheartened, especially for those facing personal struggles. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, amidst the chaos, there is a beautiful light of hope that shines brightly in the darkness. Yet, are you drawn to the right bright light? It is super easy to get so bogged down with everything the world says we must follow. And why not? Everyone else is doing it. It comes easier. You don't have to mull it over much. You just do it. Isn't that what Nike promotes? Just do it! Or does that give you what God really wants for your heart? The K.I.S.S. ~ Overflow with hope! It reminds me of Joseph, a powerful Biblical story that exemplifies the concept of overflowing with hope. Despite facing betrayal, false accusations, and years of imprisonment, Joseph never lost hope in God's plan for his life. In the end, Joseph's unwavering faith and trust in God's promises led him to a position of power and influence in Egypt, where he was able to save his family and fulfill God's purpose for his life. Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Joseph's story reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find hope in the unchanging promises of God. When we trust in Him and lean on His strength, we can experience a peace that surpasses all understanding and a joy that overflows our hearts. Psalm 31:24 – “Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!” During the holiday season, it's essential to hold fast to the hope that sustains you through life's trials and tribulations. Whether you're facing financial difficulties, loneliness, health challenges, or the loss of a loved one, remember that you are not alone. The God of hope is with you, ready to fill you with joy, peace, and an abundance of hope that overflows from within. As you trust in Him and surrender your worries and fears, may you experience the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, filling your heart with hope that transcends circumstances. May this holiday season be a time of renewal, restoration, and rejuvenation, with overflowing hope, knowing that God's promises are true and His love is never-ending. Overflow with hope, for you are deeply loved and cherished by the One who holds the universe in His hands. Trust in His plan, lean on His strength, and bask in the overflowing hope that comes from a faith rooted in the God of all creation. "Be present. Be incredible.

Even though life can have us spinning, that doesn't mean you have to let your love fizzle out. Isn't life all about the sizzle? So, create a haven of peace in order to find love in the middle of stress. Life can often feel like a whirlwind of stress, challenges, and responsibilities, leaving little room for nurturing our relationships. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co What have your days looked like recently? In fact, have you even spoken to your spouse with kind words and no inferences of demands, wink-wink? You dictating what must happen in the home, does not bring warm, fuzzy moments to the heart. You need to extend your hand by expanding your heart. Amidst the chaos, it's crucial to prioritize and maintain love and connection with your spouse. After all, isn't love supposed to be a sanctuary in the midst of life's storms? So, anchor away. Create your sanctuary today. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your sanctuary today! Here are three practical ways couples can continue to foster love even in the face of stress: 1. Communication is Key: When stress levels are high, communication tends to break down, leading to misunderstandings and conflict. To keep the love alive, it's essential for couples to communicate openly and honestly. Take the time to sit down with your partner, actively listen to their concerns, and express your own feelings without judgment. "Don't always talk while in action. Let your words speak first, and then follow-up with your actions next." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: Instead of bottling up frustrations from work, share them with your partner over a cup of coffee. By expressing your emotions and concerns, you invite your partner into your world and strengthen the bond between you. 2. Quality Time Together: In the midst of hectic schedules and endless to-do lists, carving out quality time for each other can easily fall by the wayside. However, making time for shared experiences and bonding activities is vital for sustaining a loving relationship. Plan date nights, weekend getaways, or even simple activities like cooking together or going for a walk. "Quality time spent together today is an investment in your relationship's tomorrow." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: Unplug from technology and distractions for an evening and enjoy a candlelit dinner with your partner. Focus on each other's company and create lasting memories that will strengthen your emotional connection. 3. Support and Encouragement: During stressful times, having a supportive partner by your side can make all the difference. Show love and support to your significant other by being there for them, offering a listening ear, and providing words of encouragement. "In times of stress, unconditional love and support are the pillars that hold relationships together." ~ Kristianne Wargo Example: If your partner is facing a challenging situation at work, be their cheerleader and source of strength. Offer words of encouragement, lend a helping hand, and remind them that you are in this together. You can navigate the ups and downs of life's stressors while keeping the flame of love burning bright. Remember, love is not just a feeling. Love is a verb; it's a conscious choice to prioritize your partner and nurture your bond, even in the midst of chaos. "Love is the anchor that keeps couples grounded amidst life's storms." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Everyone is all caught up in going viral. Who doesn't want to be seen and heard by millions? Unfortunately, our kids are the ones whose hearts are hurting, but you can get your kids out of the gutter. It's all about how you see them, how you recognize them, and how you hear them. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Now, most of us parents are not sitting around debating what we need to do to keep our kids' attention so they are not lost in a world of lies and hopelessness. Think about it: How important is it for you to make sure your child is seen and heard? Or maybe that's not really something that you've given a lot of thought to. No worries! Think about it now. How do you communicate with your child so they are not so tied up in the "reactions" on social media? How do you interact with them so they feel seen and heard? What makes your child stand out to you? Think about the gifts that they have; their own personality. When do you make time to see your child without interruption? Where do you go with your child so they know they're number one in your heart? Why does all this matter to your kids? Because we live in a society where going viral and seeking validation from strangers can overshadow authentic connections. That's why it's crucial to ensure our children are not lost in the noise. As parents, it's our responsibility to see, recognize, and hear our kids, nurturing their hearts with love, joy, and hope. And in order to do that, you gotta see them first! The K.I.S.S. ~ See them F.I.R.S.T.! Here are three actionable steps parents can take to elevate their interactions with their children: 1. FOCUS: When parents focus on creating a loving and supportive environment for their children, they prioritize their child's well-being and emotional development. When you actively tune into your child's needs and feelings, then you get to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to nurturing a strong parent-child bond. "When we focus on creating a supportive environment, we empower our children to thrive." ~ Kristianne Wargo This is when you set aside distractions and actively listen to your child's concerns, showing them they are valued and understood. 2. INTERACT: Engaging actively with your child through conversation and activities fosters a sense of connection and communication. By spending quality time together and participating in shared interests, parents strengthen their relationship with their children. "Interacting with your child builds a bridge of trust and understanding." ~ Kristianne Wargo For instance, play, play, play: playing games, going for walks, or participating in creative projects together can create bonding moments, the trust moments that facilitate open dialogue between you and your child. 3. RECOGNIZE: Acknowledging and validating a child's emotions and experiences is crucial for their emotional well-being. When parents recognize their child's feelings, they demonstrate empathy and understanding, creating a safe space for emotional expression. "Acknowledging their feelings validates their experiences and connects your heart with theirs." ~ Kristianne Wargo In times of distress or worry, you can show recognition by responding sensitively to your child's emotions and offering comfort and support. 4. SUPPORT: Providing encouragement and emotional support for your child nurtures their confidence and resilience. We're talking about their self-esteem. When you offer consistent support, you help your child navigate challenges and setbacks with greater resilience and determination. "Supporting our children builds a foundation of strength, courage, and compassion." ~ Kristianne Wargo This can be demonstrated when a parent encourages their child to pursue their interests, celebrate their achievements, and offer reassurance during difficult times. 5. TALK: Having open and honest conversations with your child fosters trust, understanding, and communication. Through meaningful dialogue, you can gain insight into your child's thoughts, feelings, and perspectives. Because if you are not paying attention, someone else will take your place. "Talking with our children opens the door to deeper connections, creating a foundation of mutual respect and trust." ~ Kristianne Wargo Parents can engage in conversations with their child about their day, interests, worries, and aspirations, creating a space for mutual sharing and building a strong parent-child bond. "Your child must see you alive in action and thorough in thought." ~ Kristianne Wargo YOU have the power to lift them out of the gutter of "hey, look at me," and instill in them a foundation of love, joy, and hope. Remember, as a parent, you hold the key to shaping your children's emotional well-being and nurturing them from the inside out. So, let's commit to seeing and hearing our kids. "Be present.

The holiday season is meant to be a time of joy, family gatherings, and celebration. But, and it's the big BUTT that we begin to panic and see all that's wrong with what we see in the mirror. You can overcome a body image meltdown. The pressure to look a certain way for holiday parties, family photos, and social gatherings can often lead to what I call a "body image meltdown." Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Suddenly, you go into your closet, and you have nothing to wear. You don't like anything you try on. And it's stuff you've worn before. Yet, now, there is absolutely nothing. You see twenty-two more wrinkles on your face and body. Plus, you feel bloated and plump. So, what do you see for yourself? Fear not; there are ways to avoid falling into this trap. Instead, embrace your true beauty and confidence during this festive time. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace your true beauty! 1. Practice Self-Compassion: One of the most powerful tools in combating body image meltdowns is self-compassion. Instead of criticizing yourself for not meeting unrealistic standards, practice kindness and understanding towards yourself. Take time each day to affirm yourself and focus on what makes you unique and beautiful. For example, when you catch yourself in a negative thought spiral, try replacing it with a positive affirmation like, "I am strong, capable, and worthy of love." Remember, perfection is an illusion, and true beauty comes from self-acceptance. "Embrace your uniqueness and focus on your strengths rather than your perceived flaws. Your beauty shines from within when you cultivate self-love and self-acceptance. Compassion grows your heart for who you see in the mirror." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Prioritize Self-Care: During the hectic holiday season, it's easy to neglect self-care in favor of attending to others' needs. However, taking care of yourself is crucial in maintaining a healthy body image and overall well-being. Make time for activities that nourish your body, mind, and soul, whether it's a relaxing bath, a yoga session, or a walk in nature. Additionally, prioritize healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and adequate rest to feel your best both inside and out. "Self-care is not selfish; it is essential for your well-being. Prioritize activities that bring you joy and replenish your energy reserves to rejuvenate your spirit." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Surround Yourself with Supportive People: The holidays can be a time of intense social interactions, which may exacerbate feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. Surround yourself with friends and family members who uplift and encourage you, rather than those who bring negativity or judgment. Seek out supportive communities, online or offline, where you feel accepted and understood for who you are. Remember, you are not alone in your struggles, and sharing your feelings with trusted individuals can help alleviate the burden of body image issues. "Choose to spend time with people who celebrate your uniqueness and empower you to be your authentic self. Building a community of support is essential in navigating difficult moments." ~ Kristianne Wargo CHALLENGE: How do you proactively address and prevent body image meltdowns? Remember, your worth is not defined by your appearance, but by the kindness, strength, and resilience you embody. Embrace your true beauty this holiday season and celebrate the unique masterpiece that you are. "You are a work of art, a masterpiece constantly evolving and growing. Embrace the journey of greatness you're on, and extend the grace, love, and compassion you deserve." "Be present. Be incredible.

What if the next corner you turn leads you to exactly where you're meant to be? Are you willing to push yourself beyond your limits and go the extra mile to reach your dreams? The K.I.S.S. ~ Persist through challenges! When you're feeling discouraged, remember that you possess the strength, resilience, and determination to overcome any obstacle in your path.

You deserve better, and the only way to reach your greatness is by never giving up on your dreams. Walk in step with God.

Why do we complicate life so much? Yes, we don't have all the answers. Yes, there are tons of challenges. But if we continue to focus on all the negative stuff, that's all we'll see. Memorize what matters. In our journey through life, we often find ourselves caught up in the chaos of day-to-day challenges, forgetting to focus on what truly matters. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It's easy to get bogged down by negativity and bad habits, but it's essential to break free from these patterns and memorize what truly matters. Habits fuel our actions for good or bad. Unfortunately, though, it's usually our bad habits that win over our good ones. How do habits form? What does it take to erase one habit for another? Habits are formed through a process in our brains called the habit loop, which consists of three key components: 1. Cue: The first step in forming a habit is the cue, which triggers a specific behavior. This could be a certain time of day, a particular emotion, a location, or even a specific event that prompts the habit. 2. Routine: Once the cue is triggered, we engage in a routine or behavior that follows the cue. This is the action that we take in response to the cue, whether it's positive or negative. 3. Reward: The final component of the habit loop is the reward. After completing the routine, our brains release a surge of neurotransmitters that make us feel good. This reinforces the behavior and encourages us to repeat it in the future. Over time, as we continue to repeat the same cue-routine-reward cycle, the habit becomes more ingrained in our brains, making it automatic and requiring less conscious effort to perform. By understanding this process, we can work towards breaking bad habits and forming new, positive ones by intentionally choosing the cues, routines, and rewards in our daily lives. Imagine if you were an eraser in your life? What bad habits would you like to get rid of, reduce, or redeem? You don't have to keep doing the same ole things the same ole ways. Habits play a significant role in shaping our lives, dictating our actions and behaviors. You can change your bad habits and create your now. The K.I.S.S. ~ Memorize what matters! "Memorizing what matters means consciously choosing to prioritize the things that bring joy, purpose, and meaning to our lives." ~ Kristianne Wargo Here are three actionable steps to help you change your habits for the better: 1. Identify Your Triggers: Take some time to reflect on what triggers your bad habits. Is it stress, boredom, or a particular environment? Once you understand the root cause, you can begin to address it. For example, if you tend to stress-eat, find alternative coping mechanisms such as going for a walk or practicing mindfulness. 2. Create a Routine: Replace your bad habits with positive ones by establishing a routine that supports your goals. For instance, if you want to improve your physical fitness, commit to a daily workout schedule or join a fitness class. Consistency is key to forming new, healthy habits. 3. Stay Accountable: Enlist the support of a friend, coach, or mentor to hold you accountable on your journey to change. Share your goals with someone you trust and regularly check in with them to track your progress. Having someone to support and encourage you can make a significant difference in staying motivated. It's crucial to break free from the shackles of our old habits and embrace a new way of living that aligns with our values and aspirations. By consciously choosing to memorize what matters, we can pave the way for a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. Let go of the past, embrace the present, and create a future that resonates with your purpose. CHALLENGE: What are you doing today to memorize what matters? "Our habits reflect our innermost desires, the passion that is palpable in our hearts. Choose wisely what you choose to memorize." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's time to erase the negative and focus on what truly matters – your happiness, growth, and passion. Take the first step toward what God desires for you, leaving behind what clutters your heart. Memorize What Matters. "Be present. Be incredible.

So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:20 We have a responsibility to show up the way God has called us. So why are we running in the other direction? Come back to God! Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In a day that consumes our hearts and distracts our minds to lessen our connection to God, He still waits for you. But we keep plowing through our to-do lists, cleaning the house, cooking dinner, yelling at the kids, screaming at our sweethearts, and scrolling faster through our reels that we forget what is most important. Come back to God! God wants to work miracles in you and through you. But you have to ready your mind, body, and spirit for how He wants you to show up every day. Do life with God living authentically His way, not yours. The K.I.S.S. ~ Come back to God! As the world spins faster and faster, pulling us in every direction imaginable, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. In the midst of chaos, stress, and distractions, the gentle whisper of God calling us back to Him can easily be drowned out. In a society that glorifies busyness and self-sufficiency, it’s all too common to let our connection with God fall by the wayside. We get caught up in the never-ending cycle of responsibilities – work, chores, relationships, social media – and we push aside the one relationship that should take priority above all else. But amidst the noise and chaos, God’s voice remains constant, beckoning us to return to Him. So why do we resist? Why do we run? Perhaps it’s the fear of surrendering control, the discomfort of facing our shortcomings, or simply the allure of worldly distractions. But in truth, God’s call to “Come back to God!” is not a demand for perfection, but an invitation to experience His grace, forgiveness, and transformative power. When you align your lives with God’s will and surrender your plans to His divine purpose, you open the door for miracles to unfold. It’s in the moments of quiet surrender, heartfelt prayer, and intentional presence that you allow God to work wonders in and through you. By choosing to walk in authenticity and obedience to HIm, His Word, and His commandments, you pave the way for His light to shine brightly in your life. So, let us heed the call. Come back to God! Prioritize your relationship with Him above all else, seeking His presence in the midst of your daily chaos and challenges. As you draw near to God with a humble heart and an open mind, you will find the strength, peace, and guidance we need to navigate life’s ups and downs with faith and assurance. Tap into God's Positioning System designed just for you (iGPS). Today, don't hesitate. Be still and feel His presence. Embrace the truth and embrace your role as an ambassador of Christ, boldly proclaiming His message of love, redemption, and salvation to a world in desperate need of hope. Come back to God, and let His light shine through you today and always. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Inside every marriage lies a secret weapon that can rescue even the most fractured relationships - gratitude. Don't let yourself stay trapped in the status quo; transform your marriage one thank you at a time. In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to overlook the significance of expressing appreciation towards our partners. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co We want to get what is needed done and hit the hay, so we can start another day. What have your days looked like lately? Are they fairytale ones that have you all googly eyes and heart-pounding moments? Probably not! You are spinning your wheels, running around like a chicken with your head cut off, or simply sitting in a corner giving yourself an "oh woes me" party. What if you slowed down to actually see and hear your spouse? What if you made a point every day to express your appreciation for their presence? Taking the time to cultivate a spirit of gratitude within a marriage works wonders in strengthening the bond between spouses, fostering mutual respect, and nurturing a lasting love that can weather any storm. You will be amazed at what gratitude does for your marriage. "Gratitude is the cornerstone of a fulfilling and joyful relationship. It's like watering a garden; when you nourish it with appreciation, love blooms and grows stronger." ~ Kristianne Wargo So, if you want a stronger marriage, nourish it with appreciation. The K.I.S.S. ~ Nourish your marriage with appreciation! To facilitate the growth of gratitude and fortify the foundation of love in your marriage, here are three actionable steps that Kristianne Wargo recommends: 1. RENEW - Start Each Day with a Thank You: Embrace the power of mornings by setting the tone for the day ahead with a sincere expression of gratitude towards your spouse. Whether it's a simple "Thank you for making breakfast" or a heartfelt acknowledgment of their support, starting the day on a positive note can create a ripple effect of warmth and appreciation throughout the day. "A grateful heart sets the stage for a harmonious day. By beginning each morning with a genuine thank you, you lay the groundwork for a day filled with love and connection." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. RESTORE - Celebrate Small Moments: In the journey of marriage, it's often the little things that matter the most. Take the time to celebrate small moments of joy and kindness shared between you and your spouse. Whether it's a spontaneous hug, a shared laughter over a cup of coffee, a text, or a thoughtful gesture, acknowledging and appreciating these fleeting moments can strengthen the emotional connection between partners. "Celebrating small moments of love and joy enriches the tapestry of your marriage. When you notice and appreciate these moments, you weave a bond of gratitude that sustains your marriage through ups and downs." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. REVIVE - Express Gratitude Through Actions: While words have the power to uplift and inspire, actions speak volumes in the language of love. Show your appreciation for your spouse through thoughtful gestures, acts of service, and loving deeds that convey your gratitude in tangible ways. Whether it's preparing their favorite meal, surprising them with a handwritten note, or lending a helping hand without being asked, actions rooted in gratitude speak louder than words. "Actions fueled by gratitude demonstrate the depth of your love and appreciation for your partner. When you strive to show gratitude through your deeds, you create a bond that is resilient and unwavering." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Embracing a spirit of gratitude within your marriage not only enriches your relationship but also nourishes your soul with love and blessings. Learn to love deep and well; it only takes one thank you at a time. "Be present. Be incredible.

As parents, we are always making decisions and trying to keep life running smoothly when it feels more like a train wreck. So when life has you by a thread, do you have a promise to keep? What does your world as a parent look like? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Seriously! Parenting is a journey filled with highs and lows, victories and defeats, laughter and tears. It is a journey where we strive to make the best decisions for our children, to protect them from harm, and to nurture them into strong, compassionate individuals. But in a world filled with uncertainties and struggles, how can we ensure that our children grow up to be resilient and successful? Where do we draw the line for ourselves and for them? Do you have a promise to keep? I think we do as parents: to raise up our kids with the abilities to impact the world they touch. And we just can't sit back and pretend that it's going to be easy. Life will give us lemons, and our children will do the same. It's up to us to make the lemonade! The K.I.S.S. ~ Make the lemonade! It's gotta be sweet and tart, turning your tongue inside out. That's living!! Here are three impactful ways in which parents can influence their children to rise to the top: 1. Lead by Example: Children learn by observing their parents. As parents, it is essential to model the values and behaviors we wish to instill in our children. Whether it is showing kindness to others, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity, or pursuing our passions with determination, our actions speak louder than words. "Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Encourage Independence: While it is natural to want to protect our children from failure and disappointment, it is equally important to allow them the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. By encouraging independence and decision-making skills, we empower our children to develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. "Empower your children to take ownership of their actions and decisions. Let them learn from their mistakes and grow stronger." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Foster Resilience: Life is not always smooth sailing, and challenges are inevitable. By teaching our children to embrace failures as opportunities for growth, we equip them with the resilience to navigate life's ups and downs with grace and courage. "Resilience is not about avoiding struggles but about facing them head-on and emerging stronger and wiser." ~ Kristianne Wargo In the journey of parenthood, we carry a promise in our hearts - a promise to nurture, support, and guide our children towards a bright and adventurous future. Let us embrace this promise wholeheartedly and empower our children to become the best versions of themselves. Do you have a promise to keep? Yep- go make some lemonade! "Be present. Be incredible.

What are you doing today to get closer to your dreams and goals? If you continue to live with the obligations, to-do lists, and distractions leading your day, your joy will fade quickly. Simplify the complicated. Why is it that we keep allowing ourselves to drown in the busyness of life? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It's a bit ridiculous! And I'm not just talking to you! By golly, I do the same thing. We rush from one place to another, ticking off tasks, yet feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and lacking in joy. And you wonder why everyone is crabby. Here's the thing, you don't have to live a live from rush. As my friend,, Teresa McCloy says, "You can live a life from rest, not rush." Your craziness and chaos will only simmer down, if you are willing to calm down, too. And that means you gotta simplify the complicated. The K.I.S.S. ~ Simplify the complicated! Reclaim Your Peace through Presence When we're lost in the whirlwind of tasks and obligations, it's easy to lose touch with the present moment. By embracing presence, we can ground ourselves in the here and now, releasing worries about the past and anxieties about the future. Through simple mindfulness practices like deep breathing and mindful awareness, we can cultivate a sense of calm and clarity in the midst of chaos. Slow Down to Savour Life In a world that values speed and efficiency, slowing down can feel counterintuitive. However, it's in these moments of pause that we can truly savor life's beauty and richness. By simplifying our schedules, focusing on one task at a time, and embracing moments of rest and relaxation, we can rediscover the joy of being present in the moment. Release the Burden of Perfectionism Perfectionism can be a heavy weight to carry, causing stress, anxiety, and a sense of never being 'enough.' By letting go of the need for everything to be perfect, we can free ourselves from self-imposed constraints and embrace the beauty of imperfection. Accepting our flaws and limitations allows us to cultivate self-compassion and find joy in the journey, rather than fixating on the destination. Align with Your True Priorities When we're overwhelmed with commitments and responsibilities, it can be challenging to discern what truly matters to us. By clarifying our values, setting boundaries, and aligning our actions with our priorities, we can create a more meaningful and purposeful life. Simplifying our focus allows us to let go of distractions and hone in on what brings us true joy and fulfillment. Rediscover the Beauty of Simple Pleasures In a world that bombards us with stimuli and distractions, it's easy to overlook the beauty of simplicity. By embracing small moments of joy – a sunrise, a warm cup of tea, a heartfelt conversation – we can reconnect with the essence of life. Simplifying our surroundings, decluttering our minds, and making space for moments of quiet reflection can help us appreciate the richness and depth of the present moment. As you navigate the overwhelm and busyness of life, remember that simplicity is not a destination but a daily practice. By embracing the path of simplicity, you can find peace, joy, and fulfillment amidst the chaos. Take a deep breath, slow down, and embrace the beauty of simplicity. Your journey to reclaiming your joy starts now...Create YOUR Now!!! "Be present. Be incredible.

What happens when you are tempted by the smells and moved by your habits? Does healthy living win, or does your gut lose? Whether you want a change or not, remember how you feel. Because honestly, that is what matters. When you eat the wrong things, stop doing what lubricates your body, and inhale stress like you do candy, the only thing that might help you escape is your feelings. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Feelings can change how you react, let alone respond, all because you relate quickly. The mind, body, and spirit collect data that creates a living equation for you every day. You either have the tools to enjoy and thrive. Or you are sent on a mission to figure out a way to survive. What are you doing when it comes to healthy living? Are you relying on what you know, or lingering on what works for the average? Oh, my friend, your body is not average! You were created on purpose, for a purpose. There is no way you can fool what your body knows to be the truth. So stop hiding. The K.I.S.S. ~ Look for what matters! Your body knows what it needs; all you have to do is listen. So, how can you tune in to your body's wisdom and honor your feelings for a more balanced, fulfilling life? 1. Practice Mindful Eating: Next time you sit down to a meal, slow down and savor each bite. Pay attention to how different foods make you feel physically and emotionally. Take the time to nurture your holistic well-being. 2. Recharge Yourself: Carve out time in your busy schedule for self-care practices. Whether it's a walk in nature, a relaxing bath, or a few moments of meditation, prioritize activities that nourish your mind, body, and spirit. "There is no way you can fool what your body knows to be true. Embrace your feelings as valuable messenger." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Honor Your Emotional Landscape & Language: Your emotions are a vital part of your internal guidance positioning system (iGPS). Instead of numbing them with distractions, allow yourself to feel and process your emotions in a healthy manner. Listen to the words you repeat in your head or out loud. They matter, too. Remember that your feelings are there to guide you towards a life of authenticity and well-being. This is your presence! Your body is not average; it is a unique vessel with its own individual needs and preferences. By pausing to acknowledge and honor your feelings, you can embark on a journey of self-discovery and holistic wellness. Let go of the habits that no longer serve you. Your daily gold in life; remember how you feel. "Be present. Be incredible.

The path of least resistance may seem comfortable, but it rarely leads to change. If you find yourself hesitating to pursue your dreams or to take a leap of faith, sometimes, you must walk through the fire. Just as steel is strengthened and purified by the intense heat of the fire, so too can we emerge stronger and more resilient when we face our own challenges head-on. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Do not be afraid of the flames; embrace them as an opportunity for growth. Remember, you are worthy of all the success and happiness the world has to offer. You are talented, unique, and capable of achieving great things. God created you on purpose, for a purpose. Your heart's passion is not a coincidence – it is a calling waiting to be answered. The K.I.S.S. ~ Walk through the fire! Iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). What are you doing to walk through the fire? Or are you doing everything to avoid it? Let go of your fears and doubts. Take that first step into the flames and watch as you are transformed. It's about jumping in. It's about feeling the heat. Embrace the fire, knowing that on the other side lies a more refined, more radiant version of who you are becoming. Walk through the fire, not because it is easy, but because it is necessary for you to grow, to be stretched, to be changed, to be moved, to be YOU!!! Embrace the challenges, trust in your abilities, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more intentional than ever before. You are capable of greatness – all you have to do is take that next step.

How many times do we think about our dreams, but rarely invite our own senses into the field of our dreams? Be cautious not to take for granted what you think you know, and listen to your dreams. Imagine the field of dreams where things are just beginning to sprout up. The excitement of what's possible gives you chills and delight. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The potential for growth and transformation is palpable, filling you with a sense of excitement and possibility. However, the journey towards realizing your dreams is not always smooth sailing. Life has a way of throwing obstacles in our path, disrupting our plans, and challenging our resolve. The world comes at you like a wrecking ball, slowing down your progress, interrupting your plans, and sometimes halting what should have been. How do you escape the world of change so you can embrace the field of your dreams? How do you overcome what should have, would have, or could have been? Where do you draw the line, or do you? How do we navigate these turbulent waters and stay true to our dreams? The K.I.S.S. ~ Listen to your dreams! 1. Cultivate Inner Resilience: One of the keys to staying grounded amidst life's storms is to cultivate inner resilience. Building resilience allows you to weather life's ups and downs without losing sight of your dreams. 2. Stay Committed to Your Vision: In the face of adversity, it's easy to waver in our commitment to our dreams. Stay committed to your vision, even in the face of challenges. This is crucial to overcoming obstacles and turning your dreams into reality. And keep it oh so simple! "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Embrace Your Purpose: Your dreams are not merely whimsical desires but reflections of your deeper purpose and calling in life. Your purpose matters. By embracing your purpose and aligning your actions with your core values, you can experience the field of your dreams. Listen to your dreams. Open your heart and mind. Life requires us to shift and pivot so often, because change is a constant. But that doesn't mean that your field of dreams dies. You can navigate the complexities of life and remain steadfast in your pursuit of your dreams. Listen to your dreams! "Be present. Be incredible.

Have you ever stopped long enough to listen to what God's dreams are for you? Have you ever asked Him directly? No matter where you are in life, let God write your story. Imagine the transformative power of living the life that God has intricately designed for you, as opposed to following your own plans. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." ~ Jeremiah 29:11-13 Are you letting God show you His plans? Or do you have it all figured out? Maybe you're stuck because you've been trying to live out God's life, but in your eyes, it hasn't worked out too well. So, you say, "I've been living a long time. And I know my time on earth is finite. There's no way God can do what He wants through me. I'm too old." Did you know Moses was 80 years old when he had the burning bush moment? Age is not relative. God is! The K.I.S.S. ~ Let God write your story! Perhaps you've made decisions that, in hindsight, seem questionable or have veered off the path you believe was intended for you. Is God limited by your mistakes, missteps, and misconceptions? Can He not craft a new story for you today? At times, we confine God to a smaller box than the one we construct for ourselves. Let's not underestimate the grandeur of God's plans for you or disregard the unfathomable possibilities He has in store. Nothing is impossible! Yet, we still put God in a box and confine Him to our own perceptions and limitations. Let's not underestimate the transcendent glory of His intentions for us or dismiss the profound blessings awaiting when we surrender control and allow His divine providence to shape our story. "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 Ponder the boundless blessings that await and embrace the truth that your purpose unfolds, not by your own merits, but by surrendering to the everlasting wisdom and grace of your Divine Author. Let God write your story. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

In marriage, the assumption that your spouse can effortlessly decipher your thoughts and emotions is a common pitfall that can unravel even the strongest of relationships. It's time to break the silent assumption. This silent expectation can lead to a host of problems, including miscommunication, unmet expectations, and emotional distance. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The Pitfalls of Mind-Reading Assumptions in Marriages: Assuming your partner can read your mind sets the stage for misunderstanding and frustration. "Mind-reading in marriage can lead to feelings of neglect and resentment. It's essential to communicate openly to avoid these pitfalls." ~ Kristianne Wargo Expressing Love Amidst Assumptions: To demonstrate love effectively in a relationship marred by assumptions, open and candid communication becomes paramount. Love not only thrives on understanding but also on verbalizing desires, needs, and thoughts to bridge any gaps. "Love is about being vulnerable and transparent. Assuming your spouse knows what you need, only builds walls, not bridges." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Build the bridges! Three Strategies to Avoid Mind-Reading Assumptions: 1. Practice Active Communication: Make a conscious effort to communicate your thoughts and emotions directly, rather than expecting your partner to discern them implicitly. Instead of assuming your spouse knows you're upset because of a stressful day at work, express your feelings by saying, "I had a tough day today, and I could use some support." 2. Establish Clear Expectations: Clearly outline your expectations and desires to prevent misunderstandings and unmet needs. If you prefer a phone call when your partner is running late, communicate this preference ahead of time to avoid assumptions. 3. Seek Clarification: Instead of jumping to conclusions or assuming your partner's intentions, ask for clarification when in doubt to foster open dialogue and mutual understanding. Instead of assuming your partner's reason for a certain action, ask them directly, "Can you help me understand why you did that?" By proactively engaging in honest conversations, setting clear boundaries, and seeking clarity when needed, couples can sidestep the dangers of mind-reading assumptions and cultivate a relationship grounded in trust, respect, and genuine communication. "Ask, and you will know." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

Raising kids is a struggle and an honor all at the same time. However, as parents, we can be hyper-focused on all the activities and lose sight of our own children and who they are becoming. It's the battle of To Do vs. To Be. This is what a day in a life as a parent looks like. Our days are often filled with endless to-do lists and bustling activities, leaving little room to pause and truly connect with our children on a deeper level. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the midst of the chaos, it's crucial to strike a balance between the tasks we need to accomplish and the essence of who our children are meant to be. And that's where you have the battle of "To Do vs. To Be." What is it like in your home? Depending on the stages and ages of your children, you could be looking at temper tantrums to back talk to fiesty four-letter words to just being ignored. It's a whirlwind of tornados that stretch in ways you never thought you would be stretched. But you show up for your kids every day! And that's the key! "Parenting is not just about what we do for our children; it's about guiding them to embrace their unique essence and fulfill their divine destiny." ~ Kristianne Wargo So, from what side of the battle are you fighting? Is it that you are too busy and don't make time for heart to heart conversations? Is it that you are in a season that too much is happening and you don't have the stamina and stability to extend yourself further? To Do vs. To Be What can you do to nurture your child not in their outward skills, what everyone sees, but in their inward skills, what everyone feels? The K.I.S.S. ~ Engage more than you direct! Here are three essential strategies for mothers to nurture their children's authentic selves and support them in becoming who God created them to be: 1. Cultivate Meaningful Connections: In the hectic pace of modern life, it's essential to prioritize genuine connections with your children. "Building strong bonds with your child lays the foundation for them to feel seen, heard, and valued." ~ Kristianne Wargo Real Life Example: Dedicate quality time each day for one-on-one conversations with your child, free from distractions. Engage in activities they enjoy, such as baking together, taking walks, or simply sitting down to share stories and laughter. 2. Empower Self-Discovery: Encourage your child to explore their passions, talents, and inner truths. "Facilitating self-discovery allows children to uncover their unique gifts and purpose in life." ~ Kristianne Wargo Real Life Example: Create a "treasure chest" with your child, where they can fill it with items that represent their dreams, aspirations, and interests. Support them in trying new experiences and hobbies, fostering a sense of exploration and self-expression. 3. Embrace Moments of Stillness: Amidst the chaos of daily responsibilities, make space for quiet moments of reflection and connection with your child. "Silent moments allow for deeper connections and insights to emerge, fostering a sense of peace and clarity." ~ Kristianne Wargo Real Life Example: Establish a daily ritual of gratitude and mindfulness with your child, where you can share what you're thankful for and reflect on the beauty of life together. These moments of stillness can strengthen your bond and nurture your child's spiritual growth. "Parenting is a sacred journey of nurturing your child's heart and soul, guiding them to embrace their true essence and shine brightly in the world." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing the delicate harmony of "To Do vs. To Be" in your daily interactions with your children, you can create a nurturing environment where they thrive as the unique individuals they were destined to be. "It's not about the busy; it's about the being!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

Life is hard. Life is amazing. Life is challenging. Life is miraculous. But there you sit, tired of the same ole things. Don't be consumed by the rivers of emotions. Rest before you break! Life is a whirlwind of moments – some jubilant, some tumultuous, some mundane. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co In the midst of this chaotic dance, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and fatigued. But in the relentless pursuit of our goals and dreams, we often forget one crucial ingredient for success: rest. In a society that glorifies busyness and productivity, taking a step back to rest is often viewed as a sign of weakness or laziness. However, resting is not a luxury reserved for the privileged few; it is a necessity for everyone seeking a healthier, more harmonious life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Rest before you break! Resting does not equate to giving up or being lazy. Instead, it is a strategic pause that allows your mind, body, and spirit to recharge, rejuvenate, and refocus. Whether it’s a short power nap, a leisurely walk in nature, or a weekend getaway, incorporating rest into our routine can have profound effects on our well-being. Resting allows our minds to unwind and process the vast amount of information we encounter daily. It gives us the clarity and perspective needed to tackle challenges with renewed energy and creativity. Moreover, rest plays a crucial role in our physical health, helping to reduce stress, improve immune function, and prevent burnout. In a world that values constant motion and endless productivity, it’s time to redefine success and prioritize our well-being. So, the next time you feel overwhelmed or on the brink of burnout, remember: rest before you break. "Be present. Be incredible.

In a world where the allure of junk food is ever-present, the idea of being healthy can sometimes feel daunting. The struggle to resist the temptation of junk is real; try to humanize your goals and live healthily. This is where the concept of humanizing your goals comes into play - making your health aspirations relatable and achievable where you are in your life. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Yes, you need a challenge, but it shouldn't be something that is so far-fetched that you don't even want to go after it 2 weeks later. I want to emphasize the importance of aligning your goals with your everyday life. You need to come down to earth with your ambitions, and create a sustainable path towards a healthier lifestyle; create your now! So, if you want to live a different lifestyle, you gotta humanize your goals. The K.I.S.S. ~ Humanize your goals! Here are three practical steps to humanize your goals for healthy living: 1. Personalize Your Approach Instead of setting broad, impersonal goals like "lose weight" or "eat clean", try to tailor your aspirations to suit your individual preferences and lifestyle. For example, if you enjoy dancing, set a goal to incorporate dance workouts into your weekly routine. This way, you're not forcing yourself to do something you dread, but rather integrating an activity that brings you joy. "Your health goals should reflect who you are, not who you think you should be. Embrace activities that align with your passions." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Make Room for Oopsies These are your indulgences. Depriving yourself of your favorite treats can lead to feelings of restriction and eventual burnout. Instead of banning all indulgences, practice moderation and mindfulness in your eating habits. Allow yourself to savor a small serving of your favorite dessert occasionally without any guilt attached. "Healthy living is about harmony, not perfection. Enjoying a treat now and then can actually contribute to your overall well-being by satisfying your cravings in a controlled manner." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Celebrate Small Wins Break down your ultimate health goals into smaller, tangible milestones that you can celebrate along the way. Whether it's completing a week of consistent workouts or trying a new vegetable recipe, acknowledge and reward yourself for each achievement. This positive reinforcement will keep you motivated and engaged in your healthy living journey. "Success is not just reaching the finish line; it's about embracing the journey and applauding yourself for every step forward. Each small victory brings you closer to your larger goal of holistic well-being. This is honoring who you are and who you are becoming." ~ Kristianne Wargo By humanizing your health goals and infusing them with personalization, harmony, and recognition of progress, you can transform your outlook on healthy living. Embrace the process, be kind to yourself, and remember that small steps taken consistently lead to significant results. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Your health goals are a reflection of your self-care journey. Treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer to anyone." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #HealthyLiving #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
