3692 Stop the Spread
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Cleaning up after our children is not something parents like to do, especially the messes we helped to create; those generational habits we inherited from our upbringing. At some point, though, it's essential to sift through the tumbleweeds of our past and stop the spread of what is not beneficial in raising our children. Look at the conversations and interactions you've had over this week. How did you discipline your child when something went wrong? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3691 How Can You Not?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life can get you down, and distractions can lead your day. But what matters is you. And not in the sassy "look at me" tone, yet a heart that speaks loudly in facing struggles with resilience and challenging your mind to keep going. Life is a gift. 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. We often find ourselves caught up in the needs and expectations of others, forgetting to prioritize our own well-being and personal growth. But amid the chaos, it's crucial to remember one thing – you matter....

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! Because, quite frankly, we have so much going on that we get caught up in what everyone else wants and we forget about what we need, especially when it comes to our health.

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. The relentless pursuit of rankings often leads to a superficial presence, while the pursuit of relevance ensures a lasting impact on others and ourselves. Chase relevance, not rankings. When we prioritize relevance over rankings, we shift our focus from seeking approval to creating value. It's about being authentic, sharing our stories, and making a difference in the lives of those around us. Desire to be supported and...

3688 Let Go So You Can Grow
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Too much of our time is spent in the past. Why do you give more hours to something you can't change? What you have is here and now; let go so you can grow. When we are trying to live out our dreams and discover our purpose in life, somehow we forget that the past matters more than the present, or even the future. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . We tie ourselves to all the failures of what didn't work, but forget the few things that worked well. Seriously!

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...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
As parents, navigating the many decisions that shape our children's lives is a constant challenge. From setting boundaries to granting permissions, we carry the weight of molding our children into responsible, compassionate individuals. But amidst the sea of no's, your yes makes all the difference. For every moment we have to say no – whether it's to a request for a late-night sleepover or an extra scoop of ice cream – there is an opportunity to say yes in a different way.

3683 How Can You Clear the Clutter to Change Your Body?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Many things sound good in our heads. We convince ourselves how this or that can work for the better. However, once you examine the facts, the season you're in, and what you need, the thoughts in your head do not always make sense. How can you clear the clutter to change your body? In a world filled with distractions and noise, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that what sounds good in our minds will automatically lead to positive outcomes for our bodies.

At what point are you going to look at yourself in the mirror, with NO condescending comments about how you look or feel, and make a commitment to YOU?
"If you don't put yourself in the shoes of where you want to go, you will stay planted where you are now." ~ Kristianne Wargo
Nothing will change-- unless you have a 911 moment. You visit with your doctor and get results from a lab test. You get sick enough that other people have to do the basics in life for you and your family.
You don't want to wait for a crisis to awaken your soul, to the point where your head has to get in the game of making changes.
As I was in line picking up a prescription, I noticed how long the line was and that it wrapped around the building. And the car two vehicles ahead of me had their window cracked, only to have smoke coming out like a chimney.
Really?!?
Now, of course, I don't know the whole story. But if you are getting a prescription, I don't think smoking should be part of your indulgence.
Your body is worth more. You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Regardless of your history and upbringing, you are cherished and called beloved by God. You are not an accident.
You are worthy to be cared for and loved!
So instead of making excuses and believing lies you keep repeating to yourself, make it easy to say YES!!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Make it easy to say YES!
YES-- to who you are and who you are becoming.
YES-- to living a life worthy of enriching nutrients that fuel your body.
YES-- to intentional activities that keep you moving and physically balanced inside and out.
YES-- to hydrating from the inside out with water that will awaken your cells.
YES-- to you!
But what is your hesitation? What are your excuses in this season? What is holding your YES captive and letting NO lead the way?
I want you to really think about where you are today, and if this is where you know you are supposed to be. If there is any question, you know changes need to occur.
Don't wait for the cookie to crumble! You are made for more!
So, how can we make the transition into a genuine transformation that will stick for longer than 72 hours? Here are three key strategies to help you pave the way towards a healthier lifestyle:
1. Simple Preps:
- Take the time to plan and prepare your meals and snacks in advance. By having healthy options readily available, you are more likely to stay on track and avoid grabbing convenient yet unhealthy choices when hunger strikes. Prep ingredients ahead of time, batch cook meals, and portion out snacks to streamline your eating habits.
2. Simple Swaps:
- Incorporate small changes into your routine that are easy to implement. Replace sugary drinks with water infused with fruit for a refreshing alternative. Swap out unhealthy snacks with nutritious options like nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit to satisfy cravings while nourishing your body. Park your car further away at the store so you get more steps.
3. Simple Grabs:
- Surround yourself with what matters: connection with like-minded individuals who support your journey towards a healthier lifestyle, an easy workout when you didn't sleep well, or water that you can have with no thought needed. The simple grabs help when you are tempted by your old habits. And if you can get a win from a simple grab, you stay motivated for the next moment to create your now.
By following these three steps, you can set yourself up for success and make it easier to say YES to a healthier lifestyle.
Remember, change takes time and consistency, so be patient with yourself and celebrate each small victory along the way. With determination and a positive mindset, you can create lasting habits that will benefit your health and well-being in the long run.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
