3936 Live Fully Alive
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Oftentimes, we push ourselves at breakneck speed—racing to check boxes, chasing the next big win, believing that if we just move faster, work harder, and try more, success will finally land in our lap. But as John De Paola said, “Slow down, and everything you are chasing will come around and catch you.” In a world obsessed with hustle, this is not a call for complacency. It’s an invitation to step off the relentless carousel and rediscover the power of intentional living; live fully alive! Too many of us tie ourselves to the chains of past failures, letting every missed shot dictate...

3934 Quit Waiting for a Guarantee
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life doesn’t hand out guarantees. No matter how much you want a smooth ride or a sure win, it simply doesn’t work that way.

So quit waiting for a guarantee. When you’re chasing something brand new—whether it’s launching a business, changing careers, or mastering a skill—there’s no autopilot.

3933 How Grief Affects Your Mindset
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Grief isn’t just about losing a loved one. It’s a full-body, mind-consuming response to any meaningful loss: a job, a home, a relationship, a dream gone sideways. If you don’t understand how grief rewires your mindset, it can trap you in a mental box where all you see is what’s broken—and how far you are from climbing out of that dark hole. When you understand how grief affects your mindset, you get why you're paralyzed, stuck replaying the what, why, and how over and over, missing the possibility of what’s next. So let’s get real: grief is brutal, disorienting, and...

3932 Stand Firm on God's Holy Ground
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Walking in step with God is never a passive journey, especially when the world around you seems determined to pull you off course.

The new year brings that electric buzz of new beginnings and fresh possibilities.

3930 Intentional Parenting that Moves Mountains
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every new year brings a fresh chance to hit the reset button — including how you show up as a parent. But let's be real: parenting is hard, exhausting, and often thankless. If you coast through it, thinking your kids will "figure it out," you’re setting everyone up for frustration and chaos. Kids need more than just food and shelter; they need consistent guidance, love, and boundaries; it's intentional parenting that moves mountains. Because when you slack off, what you get is exactly what you put in — kids who push limits, test boundaries, and fill the void left by absent parenting....

3928 What If Forward Progress Requires Forgiveness?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every New Year arrives heavy with promises! However, let’s be honest, you've gotta fair share of frustration, too. For millions, those well-meaning resolutions quickly unravel, leaving behind guilt and the familiar cycle of “I failed again.” But the harsh truth is that pushing yourself to “fix” every flaw with iron willpower only sets up a battle you can’t win long-term. So what if forward progress requires forgiveness in your healthy living? Well-being doesn’t emerge from beating yourself into a different person. Yet all too often, that’s exactly the approach New Year’s...

Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
You're probably all too familiar with the grinding season—the one where your to-do list feels like Mount Everest, your energy dips, and then the holidays roll in like a relentless tide. It’s the time when surviving feels like a win. But what if you didn’t just survive? What if you conquered this season with your heart still beating loud and your goals clearly in view? Get back up!

You don’t have to wrestle with tough choices or push through resistance. You just do what you’ve always done — reach for convenience, skip the workout, indulge the craving. And as a result, everything you say you want slips further from reach.
That’s the wrong race. Racing toward temporary fixes while ignoring what really drives lasting change.
Living fully alive isn’t about hitting some number on a scale or squeezing into last year’s jeans. It demands deliberate, confident decisions and pulling your weight in the long haul. That hard work is exactly where most stumble. Life’s daily chaos throws distractions your way, and it’s tempting to retreat to what’s easy.
But what if you could refuse the easy path? What if you could break free from the habitual trap and live fully alive — on your terms?
The K.I.S.S. ~ Live fully alive!
Ultimately, isn't that what it's all about — feeling fully alive?
Because if you continue self-sabotaging your efforts or making excuses for your bad habits, you are going to stay confined within the old habitual habits that cause you to fail more.
You can do better!!
However, you must make some changes to live fully alive.
Here are three moves to reset your race and claim real health beyond the scale:
-
Define health as vitality, not just weight.
Stop obsessing about pounds lost or calories burned. Instead, zero in on how you feel: more energy, clearer mind, stronger body, better sleep. When your focus shifts from a number to a state of being, motivation deepens. You want to feel alive, not just lighter. You're gaining what matters and losing what doesn't in the long run. -
Choose one habit to master before adding more.
Trying to overhaul your entire life overnight is a surefire shortcut to burnout. Pick the one habit that will move the needle most — drinking more water, walking 15 minutes a day, cutting out sugary drinks — and nail it with stubborn consistency. Once that becomes automatic, layer the next. Success builds momentum. But remember, success comes in little steps with greater impact. -
Own your why, daily.
Why do you want health? For your kids, your career, your confidence, your future? Keep that reason front and center every single day. When your why is bigger than your cravings or excuses, your hard work feels purposeful instead of painful.
Remember, the race you want to win isn’t against some external standard or the scale — it’s against the old habits that keep you stuck. It’s about gaining your health back in a way that sticks. You want the sticky stuff to be the right stuff. The right race demands patience, persistence, and a refusal to settle for “good enough.”
This year, don’t just write down a resolution. Choose to win the right race. Make every choice count toward feeling fully alive, no matter what the scale says. Because now, you're ready to win the right race!
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
