3824 Go Off Script!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Why do we cling so tightly to our routines, sticking to the scripts we've written for ourselves even when life is whispering for us to improvise? Maybe because it’s comfortable. Predictable. Safe. But here’s the hard truth—when you stay stuck in familiar habits, you leave unopened doors and opportunities that could impact not only you, but the world you touch. Go off script!

3823 When Peace Feels Impossible
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Let’s be real—healthy living often feels like a chore. If it’s all work and no ease, why would anyone stick with it? When peace feels impossible—when your mind races, stress mounts, and moments of calm seem like a distant memory—don’t throw in the towel on what truly matters for your health. Because it’s no surprise that most of us coast along without much effort until something drastic forces us to change. But here’s the hard truth: waiting for a crisis to hit before you care about your body is a losing game. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too often, we find ourselves tangled in the web of worry about what tomorrow might bring. We obsess over unknowns, crafting scenarios that drain our energy and steal our peace.

3821 Everything Starts as a Seed
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every journey, every success, and every change begins with a seed. Not just a physical seed planted in soil, but the unseen seeds you plant daily through your mindset, words, actions, and choices. You were created on purpose for a purpose, and living into that purpose is the real prize. What you build—your relationships, your business, your character—everything starts as a seed, and it requires intentionality for it to grow. The truth is simple: you will harvest what you sow. The seeds you plant today become the outcomes you face tomorrow. That’s why it’s critical to focus on planting...

3820 The God of Do-Overs
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When life pounds hard and hope feels distant, despair and discouragement can grip tightly. It’s easy to believe the story has ended, that the mess and pain will define us permanently. Yet our God is not just the God of beginnings—He’s the God of do-overs. God is constantly moving, always creating new paths where none seem to exist.

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When you’re sprinting through life’s endless to-do list, hopping from one task to the next, your brain turns into a cluttered mess.

3818 When Your Words Feel Small
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
As parents, it's hard to know if what we are saying is sticking. Sometimes, we talk in circles and nothing seems to change. Whatever you do, don't give up when your words feel small. You know what it's like to talk in circles, replay the same conversations, and wonder if any of it actually lands. Those moments when your words feel small—like they barely ripple the surface—can shake even the most confident parent. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3817 One More Day
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Why is it that we rise to the complaints of yesterday only to find ourselves seeking what we want for tomorrow, yet we forget about today? There are new mercies every morning; don't take one more day for granted. Too often, we take this gift for granted, letting it slip through our fingers like water. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It’s easy to get stuck in the trap of frustration—wishing for different circumstances, a different outcome, or a different life. We convince ourselves that if only things were different “then” we’d be...

3816 Just Commitment And The Right Moves
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Starting roughly in your 30s, your body starts losing muscle mass every year. This isn’t a cosmetic problem—it’s a quality of life issue. Less muscle means lower strength, reduced mobility, slower metabolism, and a higher risk of injury and chronic illness. Muscle isn’t optional; it’s essential if you want to keep living actively and fiercely. All it takes is just commitment and the right moves. So, how do you build muscle? And how do you do it right, especially if fat is more of your story right now? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at...

3815 Celebrate Today's Joys
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too often, we let the shadow of what might happen tomorrow steal the sunshine of today. Fear of the unknown, worries about future setbacks, or anxieties over “what ifs” take up residence in our minds—and in doing so, they rob us of moments worth celebrating right now. So celebrate today's joys. Because life isn’t waiting, you don’t get a replay of today’s joy tomorrow. If you don’t celebrate the wins you have today, you’re losing ground. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Fear is a natural reaction. It’s a survival...

And if you don't learn how to manage your emotions, they will manage you, which leads to an entanglement of thoughts, behaviors, and actions that can send you spiraling out of control.
And you wonder why you find yourself where you are.
We've been going through this "Thought Madness" in conjunction with March Madness. There are so many plot twists as to who makes it to the Sweet 16, Elite 8, and the Final Four.
But now we know-- UConn, Alabama, Purdue, and NC State.
If you watched any of those Elite 8 games, at times, the opponent was ahead of the ones who actually moved on to the Final Four. But the difference maker in the games was their thoughts.
Their thoughts had to get them to the other side of the points being less than and thinking they were more than.
At one point in the game between Duke and NC State, Burns (the NC State player) was seen dancing during a review. He present in what he was doing. He didn't lose control when everything seemed out of his control. He struck HIS beat and danced until the next step.
How are you regulating your emotions so you can manage your thoughts?
Because when you are facing the full-court press of overwhelming emotions, just like in basketball, you have got to slam dunk those unruly thoughts and emotions together!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Slam dunk those unruly thoughts and emotions together!
That means you control what you control.
Don't let the excuses that you can't do something or change something. You control YOU!!!
So step up to the free throw line, and hit the shot!
Be deliberate. Be present. Be incredible. Be who you are becoming!
1. Awareness: Emotional regulation begins with self-awareness, acknowledging and understanding your emotions and their triggers. By recognizing how you feel, you can identify potential emotional responses.
2. Identify: Once you are aware of your emotions, you can identify whether they are helping or hindering your thoughts. This step involves labeling your emotions and understanding their impact on your thoughts and actions.
3. Evaluation: Emotional regulation requires evaluating the intensity of your emotions and deciding on an appropriate response. This involves considering the context of the situation and the potential consequences of different reactions.
4. Response: Effective emotional regulation involves choosing a response that aligns with your goals and values rather than reacting impulsively. This may involve techniques such as deep breathing, positive self-talk, or taking a moment to pause and reflect.
5. Adapt: Emotional regulation also involves adapting your responses based on feedback and outcomes. If a particular response proves ineffective, you can adjust your approach and learn from your experiences.
6. Practice: Like any skill, emotional regulation improves with practice. By consistently practicing techniques to manage your emotions, you can enhance your ability to regulate your feelings and navigate challenging situations effectively.
Overall, emotional regulation empowers you to maintain composure, make informed decisions, foster positive relationships, and cope with stress more effectively, and have thoughts that serve you well in your every day. It is a valuable tool for personal growth, resilience, and overall well-being.
Are you ready for your first slam dunk?
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
