3894 The Letter of Thanksgiving
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

3893 Gratitude Creates a Vision for Tomorrow

3888 Capture the Moment, Not Perfection
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When life takes over, it has a way of swallowing your heart and demanding your head show up instead. We’re wired to want control—to have everything in order, to anticipate and prevent the unexpected. It feels safer that way. But as a parent, the more you chase perfection, the more you miss the raw, imperfect, priceless moments that really define your relationship with your child. Capture the moment, not perfection. Let’s be honest: no family runs on a flawless schedule. Kids don’t come with a manual or a “perfect moment” alert.

3887 Action Detangles Chaos
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Chaos feels like a storm that drowns out everything else — your dreams, your confidence, your clarity. When life tosses curveballs, it’s easy to fixate on what you can’t do, what slipped through your fingers, or what’s falling apart. But what you can’t do doesn’t define you. Holding on to those failures or limitations only keeps you stuck in the mud, blinding you to where your power really lies. Action detangles chaos. So stop. Drop the weight of what’s beyond your control. That’s not where your focus belongs. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?...

3885 Simplicity Is Enough
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
We live in a culture that glorifies complexity and chaos—complicated schedules, endless goals, nonstop hustle. Yet, most of that noise isn’t helping you. You’re beating yourself up for what you don’t have, tangled in past disappointments, and paralyzed by fear that’s mostly imagined. None of that moves the needle. What if, for just one moment, you accepted that simplicity is enough? Imagine stripping away the must-dos, the overwhelm, the fears, and the doubts. Too often, though, we create monsters in our heads, just like we did when we were little and the monsters were under the bed....

This philosophy focuses on the core pillars of wellness - diet, exercise, and sleep - and emphasizes the importance of consistency, balance, and sustainability.
And think about it. We should not be afraid of boundaries. Just because you should or should not do something doesn't mean you coward to a way of living that defeats your quality of life.
Dr. Mark Hyman, a well-known functional medicine expert, advocates for a holistic approach to health that goes beyond simply diet and exercise. He highlights the significance of mindset in achieving overall wellness, underscoring how our mental attitude and beliefs play a crucial role in our physical well-being.
"Your body is a reflection of your lifestyle. Healthy bodies are the result of healthy living." ~ Dr. Mark Hyman
The K.I.S.S. ~ Mind your margins!
To truly mind your margins and cultivate a lifestyle that nurtures your health, consider incorporating these three key practices into your daily routine:
- Nourish Your Body: Focus on consuming whole, nutrient-dense foods that fuel your body and provide essential vitamins and minerals. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats into your meals. As Dr. Hyman advises, "Food is medicine. What you eat can either harm you or heal you."
- Move Your Body: Regular physical activity is vital for both your physical and mental well-being. Find activities that you enjoy, whether it's dancing, hiking, yoga, or simply taking a brisk walk. Exercise not only helps you stay fit but also boosts your mood and reduces stress.
- Prioritize Sleep: Adequate rest is often overlooked but is crucial for overall health. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body to repair and rejuvenate. Creating a bedtime routine, minimizing screen time before bed, and ensuring your sleep environment is comfortable can all contribute to better sleep quality.
Remember, living a healthy lifestyle is a journey, not a destination. By minding your margins and focusing on sustainable habits, you can create a lifestyle that supports your well-being for the long term.
As you embrace these core principles of wellness, you'll not only look and feel better but also cultivate a mindset of vitality and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
Living a vibrant and healthy lifestyle isn't just a trend - it's a daily choice that empowers you to be the best version of yourself. This holistic approach to health, encompassing diet, exercise, and sleep, doesn't just transform your body; it nourishes your mind and spirit, too.
"Mind your margins embracing the journey of nourishing your body, mind, and spirit. Every small, positive choice you make is a step towards a healthier, happier you." ~ Kristianne Wargo
