3470 The Art of Showing Up 07/26/2024

3470 The Art of Showing Up In everyday life, parents often find themselves juggling numerous responsibilities while trying to be present for their children. However, simply being physically present is not always enough; it is the art of showing up. Parents may think they are always there for their child, but upon closer inspection, they realize that true presence requires more than just physical proximity. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . How much of your day is truly dedicated to being fully engaged with your child? How often do you set aside distractions, put away your devices, and focus all your attention on your little one? We live in a world filled with constant stimuli and distractions, so it can be challenging to carve out moments of undivided attention for our children. We think we're present, but most of the time we're absent. But fear not! There are ways to cultivate genuine presence and connection with your child. To truly show up in your child's life, you must be not only physically present, but also emotionally engaged and attuned to their needs. You've gotta create a deeper connection through emotional engagement. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create a deeper connection through emotional engagement! Which means that it's not all about being physically present in the room. You need to be invested in your WHOLE child (emotionally, physically, spiritually, psychologically, and relationally). You want to be able to hit all five senses of your child so they know you are present. "The more senses you stimulate, the greater the engagement." ~ Kristianne Wargo Here are three key strategies to help parents nurture a deeper connection with their children: 1. Practice ACTIVE Listening: Take the time to truly listen to your child without any distractions. Put away your phone, make eye contact, and show genuine interest in what they have to say. "Listening is an act of love that speaks louder than words." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Create PHYSICAL Connection: It's not about the amount of time you spend with your child, but the quality of that time. Make meaningful connections by engaging in activities that both you and your child enjoy. That means you are intentional as a parent, looking for opportunities to connect on a physical level. 3. Be Present with UNSPOKEN Love: In this case, you use actions, not words. Maybe it's a kiss on the cheek or a hug as they leave the house. It might be a sweet note written on the bathroom mirror or a note in their lunchbox. "Let your actions match your heart." ~ Kristianne Wargo Showing up for your child goes beyond mere physical presence. It requires a conscious effort to be emotionally available, attentive, and engaged. What are you doing to engage with your child? What can you do more to engage with your child? Decide on one thing and go in that direction. Mom--you can deepen your connection with your children. Spread your love by showing up! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3469 Go Beyond the Noise 07/25/2024

3469 Go Beyond the Noise In a world that often muffles the melodies of our dreams, it's easy to feel like our voices are mere echoes drowned out by doubts and uncertainties. Don't relinquish your dreams and aspirations. Go beyond the noise! You could consider this noise the symphony of skepticism, and it can lead us into a maze, this labyrinth, of questions that echo through the chambers of our hearts: "Can I really do what I am created to do? Does my purpose truly matter? Do I, in the grand scheme of things, really matter?" Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . These questions, like unseen shadows in the night, can haunt us to the point of casting doubt upon the once-bright flames of passion that once flickered within. Yet, amidst the shroud of uncertainty, there remains a small, steadfast voice whispering in the recesses of our minds, urging us to press on, to seek out the embers of our purpose that still glow within. The K.I.S.S. ~ Go beyond the noise! In the silence that envelops us, where the noise of the world fades into an indistinct hum, lies the key to rediscovering our passion. It is in this quiet space that we have the opportunity to listen not to the shouts of external influences, but to the gentle murmur of our own hearts. Here, in this presence, you can sift through the clutter of doubts and fears, and really get to the core of your being, the essence of who you are and who you are becoming. "In a world that silences the whispers of our dreams, may we find the courage to speak words of wisdom that echo through the corridors of our souls." ~ Kristianne Wargo This serves as a beacon of hope, a reminder that though the world may seek to drown out our voices, our dreams, and our value, we possess within us the power to rise above the clamor and make our voices heard. So, how do we keep moving forward, even when the road ahead is shrouded in darkness? How do we reignite the flames of passion that have been dimmed by the winds of uncertainty? The answer lies not in society's loud proclamations but in the quiet strength of your own convictions, the unwavering belief in your intrinsic worth and purpose; your reflection of who you are and who you are becoming. In the hush of solitude, find the courage to listen to the whispers of your heart, to heed the call of your deepest desires, and to step boldly into the light of your own potential. For it is in these moments of stillness that you uncover the truest, most authentic self, unburdened by the expectations of others and unrestrained by the chains of doubt. In a world that may seek to silence us, let us be the ones who speak words of wisdom, who sing the songs of our souls, and who dance to the rhythm of our own beating hearts. For it is in these harmonious songs of hope that you find not only your purpose, but also the unshakable conviction that you matter, that your dreams matter, and that your voice matters. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3468 How Do You Navigate through the Noise of Doubt? 07/24/2024

3468 How Do You Navigate through the Noise of Doubt? Healthy living is not for the faint of heart. You have to want it bad enough to be dedicated to it more than enough. How do you navigate through the noise of doubt and uncertainty to be confident in what you do every day? What does your world look like? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Maybe it is a world filled with endless choices; it's no surprise that decision-making can be challenging, especially when striving to live a healthy life. The struggle with confidence and stamina can hinder our ability to make choices that align with our well-being. How do you navigate through the noise of doubt and uncertainty to create your now? The K.I.S.S. ~ Build up your art of confidence! "Confidence is not about knowing all the answers but trusting yourself enough to make the best choices for your well-being." ~ Kristianne Wargo Here are three key steps to help you gain confidence in your decision-making process and embrace a healthier way of living: 1. WHO ARE YOU? Take the time to reflect on your values, goals, and desires. By understanding what truly matters to you, decision-making becomes clearer and more aligned with your authentic self. Psychologist Dr. Sarah Anderson emphasizes, "Self-reflection allows you to tune into your inner voice and make choices that resonate with your core values." 2. WHO CAN HELP YOU? Don't be afraid to reach out to mentors, friends, or professionals for advice and guidance. Surround yourself with a supportive network that encourages your growth and provides valuable insights. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. 3. WHO IS IN YOUR HEAD? Cultivate mindfulness practices such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to stay grounded and focused. Building resilience in the face of challenges allows you to bounce back from setbacks and approach decision-making with clarity and composure. Kristianne Wargo stresses, "Mindfulness is the key to unlocking your inner strength and resilience. Embrace each moment with gratitude and awareness." Confidence in decision-making is a journey that requires self-awareness, support, and resilience. Ultimately, you have to believe in yourself! By incorporating these strategies into your daily routine, you can build the confidence needed to navigate life's uncertainties and embrace a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle. "Confidence is not about having all the answers, but believing in your ability to make the right choices for a healthier, happier you." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

3467 Don't Watch the Clock 07/23/2024

3467 Don't Watch the Clock Life does not have to be so hectic. What if you slowed down in order to speed up? As Sam Levenson once said, "Don't watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going." Perseverance elevates progress regardless of the pace. In the journey towards achieving our dreams and goals, it's easy to become disheartened by the passing of time. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . The monotony of daily routines can leave us feeling stagnant, questioning if our efforts are truly leading us closer to where we want to be. Yet, during these moments of doubt and weariness, the importance of perseverance and unwavering dedication shines the brightest. "The passion for your dream can't be realized until the push becomes your presence." ~ Kristianne Wargo When faced with the temptation to watch the clock and wish for time to move faster, it's crucial to remember that progress is not always measured by monumental leaps, but by the consistent steps taken each day. It's the accumulation of these small actions, done with purpose and determination, that propels you forward toward your aspirations. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo It's about nurturing that resilience within ourselves, refusing to be deterred by setbacks or delays, and finding fulfillment in the journey itself. The K.I.S.S. ~ Don't watch the clock! Building the "consistency muscle" is not about complacency or idleness; it's about embracing the power of incremental progress. Each day presents an opportunity to inch closer to your goals, to refine your skills, and to cultivate the perseverance that will sustain you through challenges and obstacles. It's in the dedication to showing up, even on the days when motivation wanes, that we truly embody the commitment to our dreams. So, the next time you feel tempted to watch the clock and yearn for a faster pace, remember that true growth lies in the steady rhythm of persistent effort. Embrace the journey, no matter how long or winding the path may seem, for it is in the daily pursuit of your passions that you will find the strength to reach new heights. "The passion for your dream can't be realized until the push becomes your presence. In other words, you have to build that consistency muscle. It's not about doing nothing, but doing something every day!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

3466 When Failure Becomes Your Success 07/22/2024

3466 When Failure Becomes Your Success How much of your life is paralyzed by perfection and doubt? Greatness cannot be reached until you embrace what paralyzes you; when failure becomes your success, you are living your life well. In a world obsessed with perfection, the fear of failure often paralyzes us, preventing us from reaching our full potential. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . However, it is essential to understand that failure is not the end but a stepping stone towards success. What have you been putting off lately? What do you need to let go of and just do something? Don't go through one more day expecting magic when what you need is movement. Take A.I.M. - action ignites motivation! The K.I.S.S. ~ Take A.I.M.! "To excel in life well, you must take A.I.M.! Action ignites motivation. Stop letting what you can't control; control what you can control." ~ Kristianne Wargo Embracing imperfection and taking action are key elements to propel us forward in life. Here are three ways to let go of perfection and embrace taking AIM. 1. EMBRACE EXCELLENCE: Rather than striving for unattainable perfection, embrace your excellence, your imperfections, as unique qualities that make you who you are. "Perfection is an illusion that keeps you chasing the wind. Embrace imperfection, and you'll find freedom in authenticity." ~ Kristianne Wargo By accepting your flaws, you allow yourself the freedom to grow and learn from your mistakes. You give yourself permission to experience life in a manner that serves you well. It's not about getting it all perfect, but doing it to the best of your ability at the time of the season you are in. 2. OPEN YOUR FISTS: Trying to control every aspect of your life can lead to stress and anxiety. Instead, focus on what you can control and let go of the rest. "Life cannot be lived well if you are closed-fisted. Your heart slowly becomes hardened, fading to rest, flatlining to doubt." ~ Kristianne Wargo By releasing the need for control, you open yourself up to new possibilities and experiences. Letting go of control and not holding onto the results with tight fists makes room for opportunities. 3. TAKE A.I.M. - Action Ignites Motivation: A.I.M. is the antidote to perfectionism. By taking small steps toward your goals, you ignite motivation and build momentum. "Stop waiting for perfect conditions. Take imperfect action and watch your progress follow." ~ Kristianne Wargo Procrastination only hinders progress, so seize the moment and start moving toward your dreams. As you embark on the journey of letting go of perfection and embracing taking AIM, remember that failure is not the opposite of success but a part of the process. By shifting your perspective and mindset, you can turn setbacks into comebacks, walking on the stepping stones toward your success. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, "Action ignites motivation. Stop letting what you can't control, control what you can control. It's time to break free from the shackles of perfection and live a life filled with passion and purpose because of your presence." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

3465 Walking in God's Footsteps 07/21/2024

3465 Walking in God's Footsteps Pleasing people distracts, distorts, and disconnects you from God. However, when you walk in God's footsteps with the faith of a mustard seed, the shadows will dim as your light brightly shines, blessing others. As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? ~ Psalm 42:1-2 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . These words call upon us to seek a deeper connection with our Heavenly Father, to quench our thirst for meaning and fulfillment by turning our gaze towards Him. In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We find ourselves chasing after material possessions, accolades, and worldly pleasures, all the while neglecting the nourishment that comes from a spiritual connection. "Amidst the noise of the world, listen for the whispers of God." ~ Kristianne Wargo In essence, tune out the distractions and attune your heart to the gentle voice of God. The K.I.S.S. ~ Walking in God's footsteps! Walking in God's footsteps is not about escaping reality or shunning the world around us. It is about grounding ourselves in a deeper truth, a truth that transcends fleeting desires and temporary gratifications. If you are seeking the applause of your peers, think again. As we journey closer to God, we begin to see the world through a different lens – a lens of compassion, gratitude, and wisdom. Our priorities shift, our perspectives broaden, and our hearts open to the countless blessings that surround us. We see differently! Let us heed the call of Psalm 42:1-2, allowing our souls to thirst for the living God. Let us take intentional steps towards deepening our relationship with God, knowing that in doing so, we not only enrich our own lives but also become beacons of light for those around us. As we walk in God's footsteps, may we find solace, strength, sincerity, and serenity, knowing that we are always guided by an agape love, an unconditional love that is palpable. "Be present.

3464 Are You Sleeping With Anger? 07/20/2024

3464 Are You Sleeping With Anger? Conflicts and disagreements are bound to happen in marriage. One common dilemma that many couples face is whether to go to bed angry or resolve their issues. Are you sleeping with anger? According to recent surveys, nearly 65% of married couples admit to going to bed angry at least once a month. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . On the flip side, couples who make an effort to resolve their conflicts before bedtime tend to report higher levels of satisfaction and intimacy in their relationship. So, where do you fall? The age-old advice of never going to bed angry holds some truth, but is it always realistic? Psychologists suggest that burying emotions and pretending everything is fine just to avoid bedtime conflicts can actually harm your marriage in the long run. Sometimes, taking a break and allowing emotions to cool off before addressing the issue can be a healthy approach. If you find yourself boiling with anger and feel that having a conversation before bed might escalate the situation, maybe you should calm the sizzle. The K.I.S.S. ~ Calm the sizzle! Here are three strategies couples can implement to overcome their anger and find resolution: 1. LOWER THE TEMPERATURE -- Reflect on the facts and feelings. When you can separate the two, it allows you to gather perspectives that can help you decipher the situation at hand. This has nothing to do with your spouse, but everything to do with you. 2. CRACK THE CONVERSATION -- This is where you open the door and see if your spouse is ready to discuss the situation using active listening skills and seeking common ground. There is no room for "I'm right!" in this discussion. Truly hearing and understanding your partner's perspective can go a long way in diffusing anger. Communication expert John Gottman advises, "Listen with the intent to understand, not to reply." This is an opportunity to clear the air. 3. SEEK COMMON GROUND -- Find areas of agreement and focus on shared values to bridge the gap between conflicting viewpoints. You might need to consider a "both/and". "In the midst of anger, remember the love that brought you together." ~ Kristianne Wargo Navigating bedtime conflicts in marriage requires a delicate balance of addressing issues and respecting emotions. While resolving conflicts before bed is ideal, it's equally important to recognize when emotions are running high and taking a pause can be beneficial. As a couple, you can bridge the gap of anger and move towards a path of understanding and affection. Remember, in the dance of marriage, sometimes a pause can lead to a more harmonious rhythm.

3463 When Life Feels Out Of Control 07/19/2024

3463 When Life Feels Out Of Control Life is hard and chaotic; what are you supposed to do? Sometimes, you have to figure out how to live when life feels out of control. Sometimes, you have to lead when all you feel like you can do is retreat. That's parenting for you! Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . You think you've got it, and then you don't. But that doesn't mean you have to give up because it's hard. In fact, you have to buckle down and understand you're strong enough to continue. You have to realize that raising kids is not ever going to be easy, regardless of their ages. So, what do you do when life feels out of control when it comes to your family? You gotta build from the ground up. The K.I.S.S. ~ Build from the ground up! The lemons keep coming; so you have to keep making lemonade the best you know how. Imagine your lemonade stand on the side of the road. For a simple 10¢, you can give a cup of crushed lemons that taste sweeter than the lemons you crushed. That's what you're doing with raising kids. You have gotta crush a few lemons that are thrown at you, season by season, stage by stage. And then, you get to taste a little greatness in the making. Oh, how sweet!! 1. SAVOR THE MOMENT -- Embrace the Unknown: When life doesn't make sense, it's essential to embrace the unknown and surrender to the uncertainty. Instead of trying to control the uncontrollable, focus on accepting the situation for what it is. "Sometimes the pieces won't make sense until you step back and look at the whole picture." ~ Kristianne Wargo Trust that clarity will come with time and patience. 2. LEAD WITH KINDNESS -- Practice Self-Compassion: During times of confusion, it's easy to be harsh on ourselves and fall into a cycle of self-doubt. Remember to show yourself compassion and kindness as you navigate through the challenges life throws your way. "Life may not make sense now, but be kind to yourself as you figure it out." ~ Kristianne Wargo Treat yourself with the same understanding and compassion you would offer to a friend in need, and then extend it to your children. 3. STAY THE COURSE -- Stay Consistent: Consistency is key when it comes to parenting. Stick to your values, rules, and expectations, even when it's challenging. By providing a stable and predictable environment for your child, you are helping them feel secure and confident. "Consistency may not be glamorous, but it is the key to success in parenting." ~ Kristianne Wargo When life feels out of control, that doesn't mean that you are. Take a deep breath. See what you can control and change what matters in the moment. You are a great parent in the making. Celebrate the lemonade as you honor the lemons, because this, too, shall pass. "Be present.

3462 Seek Comfort in the Chaos 07/18/2024

3462 Seek Comfort in the Chaos Why do we have to work so hard to conclude that there is life after failure—life after knowing what you want could not exist? The moment you are in is a moment. Accept that—this too shall pass, and seek comfort in the chaos. In swirling uncertainties and unexpected challenges, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the chaos surrounding us. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . The road ahead may seem daunting, but the finish line is a distant speck on the horizon. However, it is precisely in these moments of chaos and confusion that we have the opportunity to seek comfort, to find solace in the midst of the storm. Life throws us curveballs when we least expect it, tests our resolve, and pushes us beyond our limits. During these times, we must dig deep, tapping into reservoirs of strength and resilience we never knew we possessed. It's in these moments that you find out what you're truly made of, discovering depths of courage and fortitude you never imagined possible. The K.I.S.S. ~ Seek comfort in the chaos! Yes, the chaos may be overwhelming, the challenges insurmountable, but it is in these moments that we have the chance to redefine ourselves, to rise above our circumstances, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before. Iron sharpens iron! Your character is forged, and your spirit is tempered by the fires of adversity. So, take heart, and do not lose faith. Remember that this too shall pass, that the storm will eventually give way to calm seas and clear skies. Embrace the chaos, for within it lies the seeds of transformation and growth. Embrace the discomfort, for it is in the struggle that we find our true strength. Batton down the hatches and hang on tight. Brace yourself for the ride of a lifetime. Embrace the chaos, for it is in the midst of turmoil that you will find what you're really made of. And remember, it is not the challenges we face that define us, but how we respond to them. So, stand tall, face the storm head-on, and emerge victorious on the other side. Seek comfort in the chaos, and discover the strength that lies within you. "Be present. Be incredible.

This congruence between inner convictions and external actions cultivates a lasting sense of contentment and harmony within oneself. B. Authentic Relationships: Authenticity is magnetic.

Authentic relationships built on trust, transparency, and honesty foster deep emotional connections and mutual support, creating a rich tapestry of meaningful interactions that enrich life experiences. C. Resilience and Empowerment: Embracing truth equips individuals with a resilient mindset and a sense of empowerment. When faced with challenges or adversities, those who have built their lives on truth draw upon their inner strength and integrity to navigate difficult situations with grace and courage. The unwavering commitment to truth instills a sense of self-assurance and confidence that propels individuals to overcome obstacles and pursue their aspirations fearlessly. D. Personal Growth and Evolution: Building a life on truth catalyzes personal growth and evolution. By confronting uncomfortable truths, acknowledging vulnerabilities, and embracing authenticity, individuals embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and self-actualization. This continuous process of growth leads to a deepening understanding of oneself, fostering resilience, adaptability, and a greater capacity for compassion and empathy towards others. E. Legacy and Impact: Living a life grounded in truth leaves a lasting legacy and impact on the world.

In essence, building a life on truth is not merely a personal choice but a transformative journey toward an extraordinary life. Embracing truth in all its forms empowers individuals to lead purpose-driven lives, cultivate authentic relationships, and have a living legacy that echoes the profound impact of living with integrity and authenticity. From the food we eat to the thoughts we entertain, separating fact from fiction can enlighten your transformative journey. The K.I.S.S. ~ Separate fact from fiction! In essence, building a life on truth is not merely a personal choice but a transformative journey toward an extraordinary life. Embracing truth in all its forms empowers individuals to lead purpose-driven lives, cultivate authentic relationships, and have a living legacy that echoes the profound impact of living with integrity and authenticity. Get your stories straight. Stop thinking that all you need to do is listen to yourself. What if you were to talk to yourself with love and compassion sprinkled with some grit and grace? 1. KNOW WHO YOU SEE -- Cultivate Self-Awareness: The first step towards building a life on truth is to develop self-awareness. By taking the time to introspect and understand our beliefs, actions, and their underlying motivations, we can start discerning between what is true and what is merely self-imposed or societal conditioning. As author Marianne Williamson aptly said, "In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it." 2. KNOW WHAT YOU SEE -- Question Everything: To unravel the layers of falsehood that cloak our reality, one must be willing to question everything. Whether it's the information we consume, the relationships we maintain, or the choices we make, critical thinking and a curious mind are essential tools for discerning truth from illusion. As Socrates famously said, "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." 3. KNOW WHO YOU WANT TO BECOME -- Embrace Authenticity: Building a life on truth also entails embracing authenticity in all aspects of our existence. You create a solid foundation rooted in sincerity and integrity by being true to yourself, honoring your values, and aligning with your innermost convictions. "Authenticity is the cornerstone of a life built on truth." ~ Kristianne Wargo As you continue to embark on the quest to uncover your truths and build your life upon them, remember that the journey may be challenging, but the rewards of living authentically far surpass the comfort of illusions, the lies you've embraced over your lifetime. Embrace the discomfort of growth, shed the layers of deceit, and emerge as the architect of your reality, built on the solid foundation of truth and authenticity. Build your life on truth!

3460 Break the Wind 07/16/2024

3460 Break the Wind The only way you can extinguish the monotony in life is to disrupt the pattern that has you sitting instead of standing for who you are and who you are becoming. Be bold in your steps and break the wind. This isn't about having everything perfect. This isn't about having all the answers. This isn't about maintaining a certain reputation for your sake. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Life is about living in a manner that serves your heart and those you love most well. In the journey of life, there comes a time when the wind of change whispers gently in our ears, nudging us to break free from the familiar and embrace the unknown. It's in those moments of uncertainty and doubt that we find our truest selves, rising above the expectations and limitations society tries to impose on us. As author C. JoyBell C. once said, "The only way that we can live is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn." Each challenge we face, each obstacle we overcome, is an opportunity for growth and transformation. It's through embracing change that we discover the depth of our resilience and the power of our spirit. The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the wind! Breaking the wind isn't about tearing through life at full speed, leaving chaos in your wake. It's about forging a path that aligns with your values, your dreams, and your essence. It's about mustering the courage to step outside of your comfort zone and into the realm of endless possibilities. "Believe in the power of your journey. Embrace the winds of change and let them carry you to places you've only dreamt of." ~ Kristianne Wargo Each setback is a lesson in disguise, and each failure is a stepping stone towards success. It's the willingness to keep pushing forward, even when the road ahead seems treacherous, that separates the ordinary from the extraordinary. So, when you find yourself at a crossroads, unsure of which path to take, remember this: you hold the key to your destiny. Trust in your intuition, listen to the whispers of your heart, and have faith that the winds of change will carry you towards your purpose. Let your passions guide you, let your dreams inspire you, and let your soul be the compass that leads you toward a life filled with meaning and fulfillment. Embrace the unknown and break the wind. And always remember, as Kristianne Wargo beautifully puts it, "In the dance of life, let your heart be the lead. With each step, with each breath, break the wind and soar beyond limits unknown."

3459 How Do Love and Respect Lead to Success? 07/15/2024

3459 How Do Love and Respect Lead to Success? In a world driven by ambition and competition, the virtues of love and respect often take a backseat in the pursuit of success. But what if you could understand their correlation; how do love and respect lead to success? Because the truth remains that love and respect, when practiced authentically and consistently, can pave the way for unparalleled personal growth and achievement. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . By understanding the profound impact of these values, individuals can not only strengthen their own resolve but also cultivate meaningful and lasting relationships that fuel their journey toward success. How do you manage your lifestyle when it comes to love and respect? Are you one who is quick to spout off four-letter words when you don't get your own way? Are you calm in stressful situations? Do you try to find common ground instead of always leaning toward, "I've gotta be right?" The foundation of success starts with love and respect for oneself. Self-love is not about vanity or arrogance but about acknowledging one's worth, embracing imperfections, and prioritizing mental and emotional well-being. "Self-love is a fundamental building block that shapes our attitudes, decisions, and interactions with the world. It's the key that unlocks the door to a fulfilling and successful life." ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Lead with love and respect! When individuals lead with love and respect, they emanate a sense of authenticity and sincerity that draws others towards them. In building relationships based on these values, trust flourishes, communication deepens, and collaboration thrives. Respect for others' perspectives, experiences, and boundaries fosters a culture of inclusivity and understanding, creating a supportive environment where everyone has the opportunity to grow and succeed. To lead with love and respect, individuals can start by practicing the following: 1. WEAR SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES -- Practice Empathy: Put yourself in others' shoes, listen attentively, and seek to understand their perspectives. As Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." What if you were to make sure that the people around you knew that you would do your best to see and hear them? Do you think that would change your journey to miles of greatness? 2. LEARN HOW TO BUILD A BRIDGE -- Set Healthy Boundaries: Honor your own needs and boundaries while respecting those of others. Boundaries are not walls but bridges that allow for mutual respect and understanding in relationships. "Respect yourself enough to set boundaries. Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have." ~ Kristianne Wargo What walls or bridges are you building? What ones need to be torn down? What ones need to be built and emphasized? 3. SHARE THE FRUIT OF GRATITUDE -- Express Gratitude: Acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of others, however small they may seem. Gratitude cultivates a positive and supportive atmosphere, fostering stronger connections and mutual respect. In the words of William Arthur Ward, "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." How are you wrapping your sentences when you speak with people? By embracing love and respect as guiding principles in both personal growth and relationship-building, you can unlock your true potential and create a ripple effect of success that extends far beyond yourself. "May the tone of your heart match the construction of your words to weld together the steel of success." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible.

3458 I Will Be With You 07/14/2024

3458 I Will Be With You "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." - Isaiah 43:2 In the midst of life's trials and tribulations, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and consumed by the challenging waters and fires that we face. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . The weight of uncertainty, fear, and doubt can often cloud our vision and dampen our spirits. Yet, in the midst of it all, there is a powerful promise that brings light in the darkness. In these words, we find solace and strength in knowing that we are not alone in our struggles. God promises to walk beside us through deep waters that threaten to overwhelm us and raging fires that seek to consume us. This promise reminds us that our faith is not in our own abilities to withstand the storms of life but in the steadfast presence of Christ, who has already overcome the world. The K.I.S.S. ~ I will be with you! In times of uncertainty and despair, it is natural to rely on our own strength and understanding, striving to navigate the turbulent waters on our own. However, true peace and hope are found in surrendering to the One who promises to never leave us nor forsake us. "In the face of adversity, we must remember that our strength lies not in our own might but in the unfailing love and protection of our Lord and Savior." ~ Kristianne Wargo Let us take heart in the assurance that no matter how fierce the waters may rage or how intense the fires may burn, we are secure in the promise of God's unwavering presence and protection. May you find peace in knowing that He has already conquered every trial and tribulation that you may face, and through Him, you can emerge victoriously. In the midst of life's storms, cling to the truth and anchor your hope in the One who walks with you through every trial and triumph, guiding you with His unconditional love and grace. "Be present.

3457 It's Just A Bathtub! 07/13/2024

3457 It's Just A Bathtub! Why do we take so many things to the extreme in marriage? Your spouse may comment that baths are the best. And now, you find yourself defending something that doesn't even make sense. It's just a bathtub! But the reality is that to us, it's not just a bathtub. It is feelings and emotions attached to tangible things that create our environment the way we know it. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . When someone comes in, even with a simple comment or remark, taking it personally is the real deal. It's like -- "Don't mess with my shower!" Where in your marriage have you gone to the extreme? Be honest-- you know where you have. Over time, this can really get into the crevices of the foundation in your marriage. These little jabs and pokes make you appear as if your game is the only game. That kind of attitude is going to get you in the doghouse or, worse, out on the curb. So, if you want to build a strong foundation, you have to remember that it's just a bathtub. See it for what it is. The K.I.S.S. ~ See it for what it is! 1. UNTANGLE YOUR THOUGHTS -- Don't vomit all over your partner if you haven't given much thought to your response. That can get you into a lot of trouble. 2. LOVE RESPECTFULLY -- It's easy to say you love someone, but what do your words and actions show? That is key. Be careful not to attack just because. Kindness goes a long way. 3. BE WHO YOU WANT TO SEE -- If you are quick to jump, then expect only the same with your spouse. It's important to have that personal check-in. Because it takes two to tango. It's essential for spouses to recognize that seemingly trivial matters can hold deeper meanings and emotions in the context of a relationship. You can build a stronger foundation based on understanding and mutual respect. Remember, it's just a bathtub. After all, a strong marriage is built on understanding and empathy, not just surface-level interactions. "Be present. Be incredible.

3456 Keep It Together 07/12/2024

3456 Keep It Together It's so hard for parents to find the balance with everyone experiencing their own season of growth. Yet, it's important to keep it together. Hold on, for the rides get better. Don't give up; family is forever! As parents, finding the delicate balance between work, family, and personal growth can often feel like riding a rollercoaster with unpredictable twists and turns. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Juggling everyone's schedules and interests while trying to carve out quality time for each family member can be overwhelming. When the chaos threatens to overwhelm you, it's essential to remember one thing: family is forever, and it's worth holding on tight for the ride. The K.I.S.S. ~ Hold on tight for the ride! "Family is not an important thing, it's everything." - Michael J. Fox In the whirlwind of responsibilities and commitments, mothers often find themselves pulled in multiple directions. From managing schedules to nurturing interests, it can be challenging to create a harmonious household. To facilitate peace in the midst of chaos, here are three things parents can do: 1. GET CHATTY -- Embrace the Power of Communication: Create open lines of communication within the family. Encourage each family member to share their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. By fostering an environment where everyone's voice is heard, conflicts can be resolved more effectively. 2. TIME TOGETHER -- Prioritize Quality Time: Set aside dedicated time each day to connect with each family member individually. Whether it's a shared meal, a family game night, or a simple conversation before bedtime, cherish these moments of togetherness. Quality time strengthens bonds and creates lasting memories. 3. CARE TOGETHER -- Practice Self-Care: Remember that you can't pour from an empty cup. As parents, it's crucial to prioritize self-care and recharge your own batteries. Whether it's a quiet moment alone, a walk in nature, or pursuing a hobby, taking care of yourself is essential to being a present and patient parent. "Being a parent means sacrifice, but it also means growth." - Kristianne Wargo Fathers play a vital role in supporting the family structure, but they too can feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities. To support one another during challenging times, it's essential to communicate openly, lean on each other for support, and remember that together, you can weather any storm. In the midst of the whirlwind of parenting, remember to keep it together. Hold onto each other, cherish the moments, and keep moving forward, knowing that the toughest seasons of growth often yield the most beautiful blooms. Family is forever, and it's worth every moment of the ride. "Be present. Be incredible.

3455 Build Something To Last 07/11/2024

3455 Build Something To Last How many of your life's projects have you tried to take a shortcut, only to discover it was the longer route? It's not time to cut corners. Time is given back when you do it right in the beginning. Build something to last! How many times do you catch yourself falling into the trap of rushing through life without considering the long-term consequences? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . We are often tempted to take shortcuts, cut corners, and sacrifice quality for the sake of speed. But what if, instead of seeking the easy way out, you chose to build something to last? The K.I.S.S. ~ Build something to last! The true essence of success lies in embracing the fundamentals of life - the deep-rooted values, principles, and habits that withstand the test of time. "The fundamentals of life are not flashy; fundamentals are fireproof." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's in these foundational elements that our character, relationships, and endeavors find strength and resilience. When we prioritize doing things the right way, even when it's not the fastest or easiest option, we invest in our future selves. Each choice you make to act with integrity, to work diligently, and to cultivate meaningful connections is a building block in the construction of a life built, your blueprint, the divine design, to withstand challenges and stand the test of time. Rushing through life may offer momentary satisfaction, but it often comes at the cost of missed opportunities, unstable foundations, and unfulfilled potential. Your greatness may be left behind! Why settle for short-term gains when you can sow seeds today that will yield a bountiful harvest tomorrow? As author James Clear aptly puts it, "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become." So, let your choices be a testament to your commitment to building something to last—a legacy of integrity, perseverance, and purpose that transcends fleeting trends and momentary pleasures. Stay away from quick fixes and instant results; be the exception. Choose to embrace the journey, honor the process, and build something that endures long after the buzz of immediacy fades. Because in the end, the true measure of success is not how fast you go, but how far you can go with a foundation built to last. "Be present. Be incredible.

3454 Made For More 07/10/2024

3454 Made For More As the days grow longer and warmer, it's the perfect time to reassess our routines for optimal health and wellness. If you find yourself feeling stuck or in need of a fresh start, remember you're made for more. Do you think of yourself in that manner? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . You are made for more? So why not consider a routine reboot? The K.I.S.S. ~ Routine reboot! If you're wondering when it's time for a routine reboot, consider the following signs: a lack of motivation, feeling stagnant or stuck in a rut, or noticing that your current routine is no longer serving your goals or needs. Changing your routine to align with the season and your personal growth is essential for your overall well-being. Each season brings unique opportunities for nourishing our bodies and minds. In the summer, for example, you might focus on outdoor activities, hydration, and light, refreshing meals. By adapting your routine to work with the season, you can enhance your connection to nature and support your body's natural rhythms. To sustain a routine reboot, consistency and self-awareness are key. By setting realistic goals, checking in with yourself regularly, and being open to adjustments, you can create a routine that works best for you. Remember, it's okay to start small and build momentum gradually. "Change begins with the willingness to try something new." ~ Kristianne Wargo To begin a routine reboot, start by reflecting on your current habits and identifying areas for improvement. Consider what aspects of your routine no longer serve you and where you'd like to see positive changes. Whether it's incorporating more movement, improving your sleep hygiene, or dedicating time for self-care, taking that first step is crucial in initiating a successful reboot. It's important to consider a routine reboot as a way to prioritize your well-being and personal growth. By embracing change and listening to your body's signals, you can set yourself on a path towards a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle. Remember, routines are meant to evolve and adapt to our ever-changing needs and circumstances. Three things you can do to reboot your routine include: 1. Start your day with intention: Begin each morning by setting positive intentions for the day ahead. Whether it's through meditation, journaling, or affirmations, this practice can help you stay focused and motivated. As Kristianne Wargo suggests, "Setting intentions helps guide your actions with purpose and clarity." 2. Incorporate movement breaks: Break up long periods of sitting with short bursts of physical activity throughout the day. Whether it's a quick walk outside, stretching at your desk, or a mini workout session, these movement breaks can boost your energy and productivity. 3. Prioritize self-care rituals: Dedicate time each day to nurturing your mind, body, and soul. Whether it's through reading a book, taking a relaxing bath, or practicing mindfulness, self-care rituals are essential in maintaining balance and well-being. As Kristianne Wargo emphasizes, "Self-care is not selfish; it's a necessary investment in yourself." By implementing these strategies and embracing a routine reboot mindset, you can cultivate a healthier, more balanced lifestyle that aligns with your goals and values. "Be present. Be incredible.

3453 Make Your Own Luck 07/09/2024

3453 Make Your Own Luck What if you were to design your day from start to finish? What would it look like? How would it feel?

Oftentimes, we complain about what we don't have but choose to do nothing about it. What if you committed to consistency in the design of your day? Now, this consistency would be made up of things you choose. For example, choosing instead of complaining. Acting instead of doubting. Discovering instead of fearing. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make your own luck! Life would look a whole lot different, and you might be on your way to making your own luck. Consistency is the key to achieving your greatest desires. You don't have to wait for opportunities; create your now! You get the power to transform your life. It's not about waiting for the stars to align, but about taking intentional steps towards our goals. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Each decision, each action, and each choice we make shapes the trajectory of our journey. Instead of whining over what you lack, what if you focused on what you can create? Imagine a day where your moments are not dictated by circumstance, but by choice. Where complaining gives way to gratitude, doubt transforms into faith, and fear is replaced by courage. Embrace the art of intentional living, and watch as your day blooms into possibilities to serve and to live well. May your presence craft your day with purpose. "Be present. Be incredible.

3452 The Possibilities Lay in the Mind 07/08/2024

3452 The Possibilities Lay in the Mind Have you ever felt stuck in a rut, clambering for something different but finding yourself unable to break free from your own mental barriers?

It's time to challenge the status quo and embark on a journey of stretching and growing. Here are three ways to face your fears head-on and step out of your own way: 1. JUMP IN NOW -- Embrace Fear: Instead of avoiding or suppressing your fears, confront them head-on. Feel the fear and just do it! Acknowledge the discomfort, but don't let it hold you back from pursuing your dreams. By embracing fear as a natural part of the growth process, you empower yourself to take bold steps toward the unknown. 2. LIGHT YOUR BELIEF TORCH -- Cultivate Self-Trust: Trust your instincts and believe in your abilities. As Mark Twain famously said, "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do." By trusting in yourself and your decisions, you open yourself up to a world of endless possibilities and opportunities for personal and professional growth. You get to see what is possible in the present. 3. TAKE A.I.M. -- Action Ignites Motivation: Break free from analysis paralysis and take decisive action towards your goals. As motivational speaker Tony Robbins once said, "The only impossible journey is the one you never begin." Make a commitment to yourself to push past your self-imposed limitations and take tangible steps toward the life you desire. Whether it's signing up for a new class, starting a passion project, or embarking on a new adventure, the key is to take that first step and keep moving forward. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Break free from the chains of your mind and embrace the limitless possibilities that await you." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's time to silence the voices of doubt and fear and step boldly into the unknown. "The path to your growth is paved with challenges and uncertainties, but it is in overcoming these obstacles that you experience your miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo So are you ready? Dare to dream. Fare to take action. Dare to believe in yourself. The possibilities lay not outside of you, but within your own mind. Embrace the journey ahead and watch as your life transforms before your very eyes. What you see, you can receive! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

3451 But Have You RSVP'd? 07/07/2024

3451 But Have You RSVP'd? In life, there seem to be more messes than blessings, but hope doesn't come from what you bring to the table, what's in your bank account, or your success. It comes from an open invitation, but have you RSVP'd? In a world where routine can become comfort, change can often seem daunting. We find ourselves content in the familiar, hesitant to step into the unknown. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . But what if the path less traveled is where we are truly meant to be? What if, like Paul in the Bible, we too can undergo a transformation that leads us to our purpose, our destiny? In Acts 9:1-19, we see the incredible story of Saul, a man who once persecuted Christians, only to be struck down and blinded by a great light on the road to Damascus. Saul's encounter with God transformed him into Paul, a devoted follower of Christ whose life's work would shape the early Christian church. Like Saul, many of us may find ourselves stuck in our own ways, blinded by our own perceptions and fears. We resist change, clinging to what is comfortable and familiar. But God's plans for us may require a shift in perspective, a willingness to step out in faith and embrace the unknown. The K.I.S.S. ~ But have you RSVP'd? Payne Stewart was a professional golfer known for his distinctive fashion sense and remarkable skills on the course. However, his legacy goes far beyond his achievements in golf. Leading up to his tragic death in a plane crash in 1999, many believe that Payne Stewart experienced a profound spiritual awakening that transformed his life. Stewart had always been known for his fiery temperament and competitive spirit on the golf course. But as he journeyed deeper into his faith, he began to exhibit a newfound sense of peace and humility. Friends and fellow golfers noticed a change in him, as he became more focused on his relationships with others and less on his own success. In the weeks leading up to the plane crash that claimed his life, Stewart reportedly spent more time with his family, cherishing moments with his wife and children. He also made a point to reach out to friends and colleagues, expressing his gratitude and love for them in a way he hadn't before. Tragically, Payne Stewart's life was cut short in the prime of his golfing career. However, his newfound faith and the impact he had on those around him endured long after his passing. Many believe that his spiritual transformation in the final days of his life was a testament to the profound impact faith can have on a person, even in the face of tragedy. In the end, Payne Stewart's story serves as a reminder that true fulfillment and purpose can be found not just in success and fame, but in the relationships we cultivate and the faith we hold dear. His legacy lives on as a beacon of inspiration for those who seek to live a life of meaning and depth, grounded in faith and love. Have you RSVP'd? "Change is not something we should fear, but rather embrace as an opportunity for growth and transformation." ~ Kristianne Wargo Just as Paul's encounter with God changed the course of his life- just as Payne Stewart was changed too- you too have the opportunity to answer the call. So, I ask you, have you RSVP'd to God's call for change in your life? Are you willing to step out in faith, like Paul did, and embrace the transformation that awaits you? The journey may not always be easy, but who waits for you is worth it. God is calling you today! "Be present. Be incredible.

3450 I Will 07/06/2024

3450 I Will If arguments and heated discussions seem more of the norm than gentleness and kindness in marriage, how do you get from blaming your spouse and moving towards "I will?" In every relationship, especially in marriage, there comes a point where the usual bickering and misunderstandings can take a toll. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . The idea of "forever" suddenly feels heavy, and the once-bright future ahead can start to look dim. For many couples, finding themselves in a cycle of blame and frustration is not uncommon. You've got bills, responsibilities, kids, a career, pets, and the in-laws -- that's just to name a few. The pressure is real. And the thing is with us being so connected through technology, there is no mental break. Everything is always in your face, especially if you use social media. and are not just on it for entertainment. That's when the waters get murky, the comparison jumps out often, and second-guessing becomes your go-to. "Why did I even get myself into the situation?" Yet, in the midst of these challenges, there lies a simple but powerful shift that can change everything - a shift from pointing fingers to saying "I will." The K.I.S.S. ~ I will! Navigating the rough waters of a troubled marriage can be daunting, but it's essential to remember that change starts within. Look at who you are in the relationship. Instead of focusing on what your partner isn't doing, try to shift the narrative to what you can do to make things better. It's a small shift in perspective that can lead to significant transformations in a relationship. But it takes... Work Energy Effort Consistency Vulnerability Openness Gratitude Unconditional love Forgiveness Reflection Determination Empathy Humility Kindness It takes you wanting to become better than who you think you are. That means you are putting yourself in your place. You are now in timeout, as we would tell the kiddos. You have got to focus on the person you control. WARNING: Be careful who you talk to when asking for their opinions. If you have people who can't see all sides, then they are more likely to say, "There's nothing wrong with you." That naturally leads you to think you have nothing to change. And I'm here to tell you-- everyone has things that need to change! 1. BE KIND BEFORE OPENING YOUR MOUTH -- Practice Empathy: Before reacting to a situation, take a moment to step into your partner's shoes. Understanding where they are coming from can help you approach conflicts with a more compassionate mindset. 2. SHUT UP -- Listen Intently: One of the most common pitfalls in a struggling marriage is the breakdown of communication. Make a conscious effort to listen actively to your partner without judgment. Effective communication involves not just talking but truly hearing each other's feelings and needs. A lot of times, when our spouse is talking, we finish the sentences in our minds, which means we do not hear what is actually being said. And then you wonder who is mudding up the water? 3. BE WHO YOU ARE BECOMING -- Commit to Personal Development: Building a strong marriage requires individual growth and self-awareness. Work on becoming the best version of yourself, both for your sake and for the sake of your relationship. By embracing the mindset of "I will," couples can take proactive steps towards rebuilding their connection and creating a more harmonious partnership. It's not about waiting for the other person to change but taking responsibility for your own actions and choices. You can only control YOU! "When you are married, it's not about doing life one way, but coming together to create a way." ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, every journey has its bumps and detours, but with a willingness to shift from blame to action, couples can navigate through the storm and emerge stronger on the other side.

3449 Happiness Lies In Your Actions 07/05/2024

3449 Happiness Lies In Your Actions As parents, we often forget what it's like to be a kid. Who wants to be told what to do all the time? So, raise your kids with a smile in your heart by showing them that happiness lies in your actions. There is nothing better than being a role model for our children. The more they see, the more they imitate. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Now, that can be good or bad, depending on what they see. As parents, the way we behave and carry ourselves significantly influences the behavior and outlook of our children. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos of daily life and forget that our actions speak louder than words. Instead of constantly instructing our children on how to behave, why not lead by example and show them that true happiness lies in our actions? The K.I.S.S. ~ Lead by example! So, how are you modeling the behavior you want to see in your children? 1. SMILE MORE THAN YOU COMPLAIN -- Practice Gratitude: Teach your children the importance of gratitude by expressing thankfulness in your daily life. When you show appreciation for the little things, your children will learn to do the same. For example, say "thank you" to the barista at the coffee shop, or express gratitude for a beautiful sunset during a family walk. By practicing gratitude yourself, you set a positive example for your children to follow. "Gratitude turns what we have into enough." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. BE KIND IN SPITE OF -- Practice Kindness: Show your children the power of kindness through your actions. Whether it's helping a neighbor with their groceries or volunteering at a local charity, demonstrating acts of kindness teaches children the value of compassion and empathy. Simple gestures like holding the door for someone or offering a smile to a stranger can make a big impact. By practicing kindness in your daily interactions, you inspire your children to spread love and positivity in the world. "Kindness is free; sprinkle that stuff everywhere." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. LOVE YOURSELF SO YOU CAN LOVE OTHERS -- Practice Self-Care: Prioritize self-care and well-being to show your children the importance of taking care of oneself. Whether it's setting aside time for a hobby you enjoy, going for a walk in nature, or practicing mindfulness, self-care is essential for overall happiness and fulfillment. When your children see how you love yourself, they learn the value of self-love and nurturing their own well-being. Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup, so taking care of yourself benefits not only you but also your children. "Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what's left of you." ~ Kristianne Wargo As parents, we have the incredible opportunity to shape our children's worldview through our actions. Take what you've got and put it into action, Show them what values are and how to act with ethics and morals. Happiness lies in your actions. Now go spread the word! "Be present. Be incredible.

3447 Overhaul Your Overload 07/03/2024

3447 Overhaul Your Overload How can you release the weight of the world when you aren't willing to overhaul your overload? Healthy living takes more than a plan. It's a daily lifestyle decision to live with purpose and presence intentionally. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the chaos of everyday life, which can often lead to feelings of overload. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . From juggling work responsibilities to maintaining relationships and taking care of yourself, the demands can feel never-ending. However, to achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle, it's essential to take a step back and evaluate what changes need to be made. This process goes beyond just focusing on the number on the scale; it's about taking a holistic approach to well-being. The K.I.S.S. ~ See beyond the scale! When it comes to overhauling overload, looking at the bigger picture is crucial. Here are three actionable steps to help you navigate your journey toward a healthier lifestyle: 1. THINK ABOUT YOUR WHY -- Practice Mindfulness: Take the time to tune in to your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. By being present in the moment, you can better understand your triggers for stress or unhealthy habits. As mindfulness expert Jon Kabat-Zinn once said, "Mindfulness means paying attention in a particular way; on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally." 2. WHAT MATTERS TO YOU? -- Prioritize Self-Care: Self-care is not selfish; it's a necessary component of maintaining overall well-being. Whether it's carving out time for a relaxing bath, engaging in physical activity you enjoy, or nourishing your body with nutritious foods, self-care plays a crucial role in combating overload. 3. WHO CAN LOVE YOU IN THE MOMENT? -- Seek Support: Don't be afraid to reach out for help when needed. Whether it's talking to a trusted friend, seeking guidance from a therapist, or joining a supportive community, surrounding yourself with a positive support system can make all the difference in managing overload. As Brené Brown wisely stated, "Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome." "In the journey of holistic health, true transformation begins with self-awareness and the courage to take the first step." ~ Kristianne Wargo By adopting these strategies and embracing a holistic approach to healthy living, you can begin to overhaul your overload one step at a time. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, small changes can lead to significant transformations in your overall well-being. Start today and pave the way for a healthier, happier you. "Be present. Be incredible.

3445 Get The Right Things Done 07/01/2024

3445 Get The Right Things Done Most of our time is spent worrying about what we can't do or where we failed. At what point do you change your tune, encouraging your thoughts and words to get the right things done? There's no other way to put it than to create your now! Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . But how do you make it all work? How do you formulate your thoughts to position your words to control your actions so you can have behaviors that, over time, give way to your habits that can change the world you touch?

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's easy to get caught up in negative thought patterns that hinder our progress. You have got to learn how to shift your mindset with these three powerful techniques: 1. Practice Gratitude: Start your day by listing three things you are grateful for. This simple practice can help reframe your thoughts to focus on the positive aspects of your life and goals. "Gratitude softens your failures, removing the sting of the fall and giving hope for the comeback." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Set Clear Intentions: Instead of dwelling on what you can't do, set clear intentions for what you want to achieve. You've gotta be intentional! Write down your goals and visualize yourself accomplishing them to create a pathway for success. 3. Embrace Failure as Growth: Understand that failure is a natural part of the journey towards success. Instead of seeing setbacks as obstacles, view them as opportunities for the comebacks to learn and grow stronger.

3444 The Strength of Patience 06/30/2024

3444 The Strength of Patience How much do you fill your day with sugar just to get through it? What if you could have a sugar that feeds your heart and soul? In the meantime of life, rely on God's presence and the strength of patience. You're busy. The feelings of overwhelm drain you and cause you to become weary. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . We crave instant results, instant gratification, and instant relief from our stresses. We want everything to happen quickly, seamlessly, and effortlessly. But what if I told you that the key to finding true strength, peace, and resilience lies not in the rush to the finish line, but in the gentle art of patience? The K.I.S.S. ~ The strength of patience! Patience is not about idly sitting by, waiting for life to happen. It's about actively trusting in God's timing, surrendering our impatience and worries to Him, and embracing the journey with grace and humility. In the words of the prophet Isaiah, "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." ~ Isaiah 40:31 This is a great reminder that true strength comes from placing our trust in God's plan, even when we can't see the road ahead. Life's challenges may test our patience, push us to our limits, and leave us feeling exhausted and defeated. But in those moments of struggle, it is our unwavering faith and patience that sustain us, lift us up, and carry us through the storm. As we navigate the twists and turns of our journey, we must remember that the path to true peace and contentment is paved with moments of waiting, trusting, and believing. So, take a deep breath, dear friend, and lean into the strength of patience. Embrace the unknown with an open heart, knowing that every delay, setback, and obstacle is a stepping stone on the path to your journey of greatness. Allow patience to be your guiding light, your source of inner peace, and your wellspring of resilience. Remember, as I always say, "In the quiet space of waiting, you find the strength to soar." May your heart be filled with faith, your spirit be lifted by hope, and your soul be anchored in patience. Trust in the journey, trust in yourself, and trust in the divine timing of it all. The strength of patience will carry you through; one step at a time leads to miles of greatness! "Be present. Be incredible.

3443 Are You More Absent Than Present? 06/29/2024

3443 Are You More Absent Than Present? There are many ways to show up in your marriage, two of which are physically and emotionally. How involved and invested are you emotionally in your spouse, or are you more absent than present? Unfortunately, after we get done dating and we've locked the relationship with wedding bells and rings, it seems that all the effort of investing in the marriage is tossed out the window. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . Now, for a few month, and if you're lucky a few years, you might be subject to the "honeymoon" phase. But that goes away swiftly, and then each person the in the marriage is left to fend for themselves. Doesn't that sound like a marriage you want to be in? Probably not. And that's why we need to chat. Marriage takes two and requires effort from both parties. However, if you are getting what you want, why would you try harder? This is what happens when you have one spouse who is physically present, but emotionally absent. They do everything to keep you close enough without giving you everything you need. Literally, they are stringing you along. They think they are providing for you, working hard for the family, and all you do is complain. They flip it on you making it your fault. They don't want to give anymore, but they want more from you. It's when a partner like that is emotionally lazy. They're done. Now, it's all up to you to hold the marriage together. That is not a marriage! If you are in this position, you can't withstand this over time. Your marriage is dying. So what do you do if you are in this situation? The K.I.S.S. ~ Confront this dynamic in your marriage! In moments of emotional absence from a spouse, taking proactive steps can help bridge the gap and nurture emotional intimacy. Here are three strategies that can be implemented: 1. Set Clear Expectations: Establishing clear expectations for emotional availability and support can provide a roadmap for both partners. Communicate openly about your needs and boundaries to foster a deeper emotional connection. 2. Avoid Over Functioning: Rather than repeatedly pleading with your spouse for emotional engagement, focus on setting boundaries and expressing your needs assertively. Over-functioning can lead to feelings of frustration and resentment. 3. Accountability: Encourage open and honest communication about feelings and experiences. Holding each other accountable for emotional responsiveness can promote understanding and connection. In the ebb and flow of marriage, emotional stability acts as a cornerstone for navigating challenges and celebrating milestones together. It is essential for partners to be attuned to each other's emotional needs, dreams, and aspirations. "Emotional stability is the catalyst that fuels the journey of two souls intertwined in love and commitment." ~ Kristianne Wargo Embracing emotional presence in marriage means prioritizing understanding, empathy, and mutual support. By fostering emotional stability, couples can cultivate a deep sense of connection, resilience, and joy in their shared journey of love and partnership. "Be present. Be incredible.

3442 The Power of Celebration 06/28/2024

3442 The Power of Celebration In a world where we have international days for chocolate chip cookies and pizza, how is it that we are not honoring our brightest lights—our children? Imagine the impact if you embraced the power of celebration for your child. This is in a manner in which they feel cherished and valued for who they are and who they are becoming, not just because they are your "child." Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . As parents, we can bury ourselves in the busyness of life - juggling work, household chores, and countless responsibilities. Amidst this chaos, it's vital to pause and reflect on the importance of celebrating our children. Think about this-- What if you celebrated your child to the point that it went viral? We're all worried about getting noticed and getting one step ahead of our competition (whoever you deem as such). But we don't do anything to raise up our kids to be strong, independent individuals that will mightily impact the world they touch. We're just caught in our own CRAP of life. Yet, even when days get crazy, we still will go get those cookies or pizza just for the excuse to celebrate. What if you were to celebrate your child? The K.I.S.S. ~ Celebrate your child! So, how can we celebrate our children in a meaningful way? Here are three simple yet powerful ideas: 1. Notice and Acknowledge Their Efforts: Take the time to recognize your child's achievements, big or small. It could be congratulating them on finishing a challenging puzzle, scoring well on a test, or even showing kindness to a friend. By acknowledging their efforts, you are reinforcing the value of hard work and perseverance. For instance, praise your child for their creativity by saying, "I love the way you used different colors in your artwork. It shows how imaginative you are!" 2. Quality Time Together: In today's fast-paced world, spending quality time with our children is a precious gift, but we all take it for granted. Set aside dedicated moments to engage in activities that your child enjoys, whether it's playing a board game, gardening, or simply going for a walk together. This undivided attention strengthens your bond and creates lasting memories. "In a world full of distractions, choosing to be present is the greatest gift we can give our children." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Create a Positive Environment: Encourage a positive and nurturing environment at home that fosters your child's growth and self-esteem. Celebrate their uniqueness and encourage them to embrace their individuality. Teach them the value of kindness, empathy, and resilience. Empower your child to believe in themselves and their capabilities. Supporting your child in their journey of self-discovery nurtures their confidence and fuels their potential. In conclusion, celebrating our children goes beyond the superficial. It's about nurturing their souls, acknowledging their efforts, and empowering them to shine bright in this world. As parents, let's embrace the power of celebration and watch our children bloom into their full potential. "In celebrating our children, we celebrate the future." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3441 Embrace the Hurdles 06/27/2024

3441 Embrace the Hurdles When the hours of our day often lead the heart of passion to stray, we must not forget that the darkest moments come before dawn. So fear not your circumstances, but embrace the hurdles as pebbles of hope. Challenges often overshadow our aspirations and crush our dreams. Our days seem more like the dark nights where hope can't be seen as easily. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at . The weight of our worries can feel heavier than the strength in our bones. It's important to remember that every struggle is a stepping stone on the journey to greatness. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Life's challenges are not meant to break you, but to mold you into a warrior of resilience and a believer in the power of our own spirit. When the storm clouds gather above, casting shadows on your dreams, remember these wise words from the legendary Maya Angelou: "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated." Each setback is an opportunity for a comeback, a chance to rise stronger and more determined than before. Embrace the hurdles that come your way, for they are the sparks that ignite the fire within you each and every day. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the hurdles! So, when you are experiencing moments of doubt and despair, and the road ahead seems long and arduous, take comfort in the words of the esteemed Helen Keller: "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." You are not alone in your struggles; you are a beacon of light in a world that sometimes feels covered by the shadows of darkness. "In the silence of your soul lies the strength to conquer any struggle." ~ Kristianne Wargo Your inner reservoir of courage and determination knows no bounds; tap into it, draw from it, and let it guide you through even the stormiest of seas. When the weight of the world threatens to overwhelm you, stand tall and face it head-on. With each new day comes a fresh opportunity to embrace the challenges, rise above the obstacles, and greet the world with a smile that speaks volumes of your indomitable spirit. The journey may be tough, but the destination is worth every uphill battle. Remember, the brightest stars shine in the darkest skies. Let your light illuminate the path ahead, and let your heart be the compass that guides you toward a future filled with endless possibilities. Embrace the hurdles, for they are the stepping stones on the path to your greatness. "Be present. Be incredible.
