3677 Stillness Is Strength
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Everyone needs a moment where they have permission to slow down in order to speed up. Our lives are consumed by busyness, and much is missed every day because of our lack of presence.

How is that living?
Maybe you're actually living a slow death instead of a vibrant life. Let's get real to make a change! You can't play small when you want to change it all!
At some point, you have to admit the real struggles you face when trying to live a healthy life. Hiding behind your excuses only puts you deeper in the dark dungeon of bad habits.
You might be experiencing stuff like:
1. Overwhelming Information: The abundance of health advice, diet trends, health trackers, fitness routines, and even ChatGPT can lead to confusion and decision fatigue. What do you do?
2. Social Pressures: Navigating social gatherings, peer influences, and societal norms that may not align with your health goals.
3. Time Constraints: Balancing work, family, and personal commitments can make it challenging to prioritize healthy habits and self-care.
Eventually, time and money can't be your go-to!! You've gotta bury the hatchet of excuses and rise up for what is possible.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep it sweet and simple!
Keep it sweet— it makes it doable. No more hardcore restrictions to hold you back. Instead, do what you can because you can.
And keep it sweet and simple.
1. Focus on Seasonal REAL Foods: Instead of fixating on restrictions and counting calories, prioritize nourishing your body with whole, nutrient-dense foods. Opt for colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean proteins that add to your muscle mass, not your fat _**. Keep your meals simple yet flavorful by experimenting with herbs, spices, and wholesome ingredients. Flavor and presentation is everything. Become your 5-star restaurant that favors your body's health.
2. Move Your Body Joyfully: Physical activity doesn't have to feel like a chore. Find activities that bring you joy, whether it's dancing, hiking, yoga, or simply taking a walk in nature. Incorporate movement into your daily routine in a way that feels sustainable and enjoyable, rather than forcing yourself into rigorous workouts that drain your energy. What brings your heartbeat to life?
3. Practice Presence: Manage stress and overwhelm by being present in your everyday. Don't jump to conclusion before the outcome occurs. Incorporating mindfulness practices like taking moments to pause, breathe, and check in with yourself. Truly, feel your heart beat. Prioritize adequate sleep, hydration, and self-care activities that rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit. When you lead with gratitude, compassion, and grace, it opens your heart to connect with your head, accepting what is and doing what you can control.
Remember, healthy living is not about perfection but progress.
"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
When you keep it sweet, you get to create your now!
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
