Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life can get you down, and distractions can lead your day. But what matters is you.

How can you not live life to its fullest? In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to lose sight of our dreams and aspirations.

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Embarking on a journey to lead a healthier life often faces the hurdle of our old habits and routines. We all desire positive change, but making it stick requires one key element: make it easy to say YES!

3689 Chase Relevance, Not Rankings
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In a world filled with the chase for likes, followers, and external validation, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters – genuine connection and meaningful contribution.

It's about being authentic, sharing our stories, and making a difference in the lives of those around us. Desire to be supported and...

3687 Will You Live While You Wait?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Waiting has become a lost art in a world that values speed and efficiency. Yet, as believers and Christians, waiting on the Lord is not passive but a powerful act of trust and surrender. Are you one who will stay lost, or will you live while you wait? Most of the time, we work for the results and not the relationship. But as people of faith, it's about anchoring your identity in God's promises and embracing each moment with purpose, hope, and courage regardless of the outcomes.

3686 Nurturing Your Spouse's Mental Health
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in our priorities and forget to check in on our partner's mental health and well-being. While supporting each other's dreams and aspirations is essential, nurturing your spouse's mental health is equally vital for a thriving marriage. We tend to forget that a marriage takes two to tango. And that means, when your spouse hurts, you hurt. But if all we do is focus on ourselves and don't really "see" our spouse, we can miss what's right in front of us. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at...

info_outlineAs a parent, it's only natural to question yourself and wonder if you're doing everything right for your child. Dwelling on self-doubt prevents you from fully embracing your role and inhibiting your ability to trust your instincts.
You are doing amazing at parenting. Remember, there is no manual because each child is so unique.

The good news is that there are ways to boost your confidence and feel more assured as a parent.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Trust your instincts!
1. Reflect on Your Child's Unique Qualities
You are the expert when it comes to your child. Take the time to observe and appreciate their unique qualities and strengths. Each child has their own personality, preferences, and needs. Accept and celebrate these differences rather than comparing your child to others. Recognize that your intuition is deeply connected to your understanding of your child’s individuality. Embrace the fact that you know your child better than anyone else, and trust that your insights will guide you in making the best decisions for their growth and development.
2. Seek Support from Trusted Sources
While trusting your instincts is crucial, it's also essential to seek guidance and support from trusted sources. Surround yourself with a network of individuals who provide encouragement, sound advice, and a non-judgmental ear. This network can include fellow parents, friends, or professionals such as pediatricians or therapists. Engaging in conversations and seeking input from others who share similar experiences can help validate your own instincts. Remember, parenting is a collective effort, and leaning on these trusted sources can provide you with the confidence boost you need to trust yourself more fully.
3. Practice Self-Care and Prioritize Your Well-being
As a parent, it's easy to prioritize your child's needs above your own. However, neglecting your own well-being can lead to increased self-doubt and hesitation in parenting decisions. Make sure to carve out time for self-care, whether it be engaging in hobbies, exercise, or simply enjoying moments of solitude. Nurturing your own physical, mental, and emotional health is crucial in bolstering your confidence as a parent. When you prioritize self-care, you reinforce your belief in yourself and your instincts, enabling you to make decisions more confidently.
Remember, parenting is an ongoing journey of learning and growth. There will be moments of uncertainty, and that’s perfectly normal. By focusing on these three steps - reflecting on your child’s unique qualities, seeking support from trusted sources, and prioritizing self-care - you can cultivate the belief in yourself that is essential in trusting your instincts as a parent. Embrace your intuition, stay true to your values, and let your parenting journey be guided by the love and care you have for your child.
Trust yourself—you've already proven to be an amazing parent.
