Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Who doesn’t need a little pick-me-up in the middle of the week? A moment, a breath when the weight feels lighter, and the horizon looks a little bit brighter?

This week, as we continue to walk through the sacred days of Holy Week, there’s a special invitation to dig deeper—beyond routine, beyond the surface—to what God truly desires for our hearts and lives.

4019 The BOGO Trap
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
You’ve seen it a thousand times: Buy One Get One free. The offer pops off the shelf, your eye catches the deal, and suddenly, your cart is fuller than intended. But lots of these “deals” aren’t deals at all. They lure you with the promise of abundance, but the truth is, you might not even need what you’re buying, or worse, you might get stuck with what clutters your life or pulls you off course; it's the BOGO trap. In life, “buying into” anything like ideas, habits, and shortcuts, without pause, can lead you to a path that feels good for a moment but steals long-term value. And...

4018 Choose Hope When the World Feels Restless
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Chaos and busyness have become the backdrop to our daily lives. The constant rush, the noise, all the things; it all piles up until it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless. But just because the world around us is untamed and crazy, doesn’t mean we have to live like that inside. Choose hope when the world feels restless. You know that when you choose hope, it is an act of rebellion against the chaos. It’s deciding that worry won’t write the script of your story. It’s a deliberate pause, a deep breath, a quiet moment to remind yourself that panic is not the answer. Desire to be...

4016 A Love So Real
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week—a sacred time to prepare our hearts for the incredible journey Jesus willingly took for us. It’s easy to get caught up in the rituals and events, but if we stop there, we miss what truly matters: a love so real it changed everything. As Jesus entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey, the crowd shouted, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Matthew 21:9).

4015 Go with the Flow
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage is a wild ride; no matter how many years you’ve been in it, you’re always learning something new. Just when you think you’ve got your spouse all figured out, life throws a curveball like a change in circumstances, mood, or priorities. The automatic reaction might be to resist, argue, or complain, but real strength lies in learning how to go with the flow. Easier said than done, right? Marriage: the joining of two very different people, each with their own views on how life should go—that’s a recipe for some tension. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded...

4014 More to Life than Screen Time
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Kids glued to screens more than they engage in real conversations is a crisis disguised as convenience. With the rise of technology, including computers and phones, the natural order has been flipped upside down, leaving a generation increasingly ill-equipped to navigate the human connections that truly matter. There's more to life than screen time. This isn’t just a gripe about kids and screens; it’s about the quality and depth of human connection they’re missing out on.

4013 Love Your Life
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Circumstances have a way of dragging us down. When worries pile up, enthusiasm doesn’t stand a chance. Hope gets shoved aside by the constant rush of life, making you want to throw in the towel and quit altogether. You don’t have to fall in love with the season you’re living through to actually love your life. Loving your life isn’t automatic. It’s not a byproduct of perfect days or effortless joy.

4012 Change is a Good Thing
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Why do we often run from change as if it’s something dangerous to avoid? The sprint away is so instinctive that even when we stumble, we’d rather keep running in fear than pause and face what’s new. Instead of running from something like fear, failure, or discomfort, why not run toward what you want? Because change is a good thing. We are wired as creatives and learners. But if we keep thinking we cannot change something or do it differently, it holds us back. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .

info_outlineWhen it comes to healthy living, how much do you really want it? From traveling to life's challenges to unexplainable situations, who wants to do anything different but hang out in the rhythm of comfort?
And then you wonder why.

You know-- the allure of comfort can be irresistibly tempting. Whether it's indulging in familiar foods, staying within our routine, or avoiding challenges that push us out of our cozy bubble, the rhythm of comfort often dictates our choices.
But is this reliance on comfort hindering our pursuit of a healthier lifestyle?
Because the rhythm of comfort is something that does just that-- it provides comfort when nothing else does.
Why do you think you eat certain things or drink certain liquids? Most of it comes from comfort.
"Comfort is like a warm blanket on a cold night—it soothes us and provides a sense of security. However, true transformation lies beyond the confines of our comfort zone." ~ Kristianne Wargo
The K.I.S.S. ~ Wrap yourself up in the blanket of change!
To break free from the seductive grasp of comfort, consider these three actionable steps:
1. Embrace Change: Stepping out of your comfort zone often means embracing change, no matter how daunting it may seem. Instead of sticking to the same workout routine, challenge yourself to try a new fitness class or outdoor activity.
For instance, swapping your morning jog for a pilates session can introduce a fresh element of excitement and wellness into your routine.
"Change is the catalyst for growth. Embrace it, and watch yourself bloom." ~ Kristianne Wargo
2. Cultivate Mindful Eating Habits: Many of our food choices are driven by comfort, seeking solace in familiar flavors and textures. To break free from this cycle, practice mindful eating.
Take a moment to savor each bite, paying attention to the colors, tastes, and textures of your meal. By being present during meals, you can cultivate a healthier relationship with food and make conscious choices that nourish your body.
"Food is not just fuel—it's a reflection of how we care for ourselves." ~ Kristianne Wargo
3. Seek Support and Accountability: Stepping out of your comfort zone can be challenging, but having a support system can make all the difference.
Surround yourself with friends, family, or a coach who can encourage and hold you accountable on your wellness journey. By sharing your goals and progress with others, you'll create a network of support that motivates you to strive for better.
"Together, we are stronger. Lean on your tribe and let them uplift and guide you." ~ Kristianne Wargo
As you navigate the delicate balance between comfort and growth, remember that transformation begins when you dare to step outside your comfort zone.
"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
Embrace change, cultivate mindful habits, and seek support to propel yourself towards a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.
"True growth lies in the discomfort of change. Embrace it, and watch yourself thrive." ~ Kristianne Wargo
When you are ready to escape the rhythm of comfort, that's when you reflect the comfort of change." ~ Kristianne Wargo
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
