3745 Honor Your Beauty
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
You’re hustling. You’re grinding. You’re carrying the weight of the world, your family, your community, and your dreams all at once. Some days, it feels like you’re running on empty—and honestly, the last thing on your mind is to honor your beauty. I get it. When exhaustion hits, when the endless to-dos and pressures pull at every ounce of your energy, self-care often feels like a luxury you can’t afford—not a priority, not a mindset, not even a thought.

3744 How to Turn Doubt into Your Secret Weapon
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Doubt is the silent killer of dreams—it sneaks in, freezes your progress, and whispers that you’re not enough. Every ambitious person faces it, but most let it derail their path to success. Here’s the brutal truth: if you don’t learn how to turn doubt into your secret weapon, it will keep robbing you of your potential. Doubt creeps in—subtle, sneaky, and relentless. Every ambitious person faces it. The crushing question: “Am I really cut out for this?” It shows up when the stakes rise, when your goals feel just out of reach, or when you stare at a blank page wondering if you...

3743 The One Who Trusts in the Lord
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” ~ Jeremiah 17:7-8 When life seems like it's unraveling, trusting God changes everything. Sometimes life looks like a tangled knot—so twisted and confusing you can’t tell front from back. You’re walking through a season where everything feels upside down: plans fall apart, circumstances feel...

3742 When Love Makes You Feel Capable, Not Crazy
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage is meant to be a sanctuary—a place where you feel seen, supported, and capable of facing anything life throws your way. But all too often, the daily grind, the chaos of schedules, and the relentless overwhelm shift your marriage from a source of strength to a pressure cooker of frustration. Instead of feeling like a teammate, you may start to feel misunderstood and undervalued. It doesn't have to be this way—when love makes you feel capable, not crazy. That's when the entire dynamic changes. You move from surviving the chaos to thriving together, building a solid foundation that...

3741 No More Boredom Battles
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Mom and Dad, let’s be real—summer can feel like a never-ending battlefield. You hear it countless times: “I’m bored!”—as if boredom is some mysterious monster your kids are fighting every single day. No more boredom battles. But here’s the twist: many kids don’t truly know what boredom means these days. With screens and tech gadgets vying for their attention 24/7, boredom often becomes a code word for “I want someone else to entertain me.” Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . Technology’s a double-edged sword. We all carry...

3740 You are Worth the Fight!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Do you want more or something different, but struggle to keep that fire flickering? Maybe it’s dim. Maybe it’s drowned out by doubt. But it’s there — that restless urge for something better, bigger, truer to who you really are. You are worth the fight! Here’s the raw truth — no one ever started a real change when everything was perfect. Life is messier than that. Focus feels impossible when the world is pulling you every which way. Your to-do list is screaming, expectations are piling, your energy tanks are empty, and your brain keeps finding every excuse to wait. You’re not...

3739 What Needs to be a BIG Deal?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When it comes to healthy living, it’s all too easy to get caught up in the endless list of “must-dos” and “should-haves.” Drink more water, eat kale, get 10,000 steps, meditate daily, sleep eight hours, cut out sugar, do strength training, track your macros, avoid screens before bed — the list feels relentless. And that’s exactly where many good intentions go to die: in the overwhelming noise of “all the things.” But what needs to be a BIG deal? Life isn’t about juggling everything perfectly all the time. It’s about identifying what truly needs to be a BIG...

3738 Don't You Dare Dim Your Light
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life will try hard to drag you into the daily swirl of other people’s agendas, distractions, and endless to-do lists that don’t even belong to you. It’s easy — dangerously easy — to lose sight of your own purpose and settle for the scraps left over after you’ve tried to manage everyone else’s priorities. Don't you dare dim your light. Why? Because you deserve better. You deserve more than the hand-me-down ambitions and borrowed dreams that drain your energy and silence your spark.

3737 How to Quiet Your Mind
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
If your brain is a noisy, cluttered mess, you won’t get far. Confusion doesn’t just cloud thinking—it demolishes action. And without action, your goals stay out of reach, buried under a pile of distracting thoughts, doubts, and what-ifs. You must learn how to quiet your mind. Let’s be real. When you don’t know exactly where you’re headed, the noise in your head hijacks your focus. Suddenly, every worry, outside opinion, or shiny distraction screams louder than your ambition.

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!!!"
