2758 How to Calm the Nerves You Can't See
Kids get nervous just as much as adults. But the way it shows varies. Learn how to calm the nerves you can't see and watch your kids soar. Who would have thought that by becoming a parent, you would become a private detective? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT What you see is not always what you get. Our children like to be seen and heard, but in the form and fashion that they dream up. Very few desire for you to see them in their weakness. And being nervous and anxious to them is a weakness. Now, this can show up at many different ages and stages. The key is knowing what your child is feeling and hiding before they share it by usually you prodding and getting in their business. And who wants to be that parent? Not you or me! But let's be real. Growing up in today's world is challenging. There are so many areas in life that cause stress; family, school, community, church, and neighborhood. The dynamics can be overwhelming and debilitating to the degree of causing anxiety. Children experience a wide range of emotions, some of which will include stress. But when you know how to cope with your anxiety or stress or nerves, you and your child can soar. So when you want to teach your child how to calm the nerves you can't see, build a coping toolbox. The K.I.S.S. ~ Build a coping toolbox! BALLOON BREATHING. Have your child pretend they are going to blow up a balloon. Pick a color. Now, slowing blow into the balloon, but not too fast or too slow. Just right is what you want. Count to 5, encouraging them to inhale and then exhale into the balloon. Repeat this three times. When the balloon is inflated, mentally write the problem on the balloon and let it go. BOSS the worries away. This is where your child is empowered by self-talk; learning how to reframe their thoughts. State what the nerves or worry is all about. Why do you think of it this way? Think of something opposite and positive. Boss back (and do so in a mirror if possible) WRITE it down, TEAR it up. Or you can draw it and tear it up. When they write down what makes them anxious and nervous, and then tear it up, your child gets to throw away what is bothering them for a moment. This helps teach your child that you can control your feelings and overcome what you can't see. And if all else fails, you can hug it out! Every child needs a hug from their mom. CHALLENGE: Watch your child and be present so you can see the changes even when your child can't. It's getting in front of the feelings before the feelings take over. CAUTION: You might make a mistake and think it's one thing when it really is something else. No problem. Live, learn, and move on. CELEBRATE: As your child experiments with the toolbox, be sure to celebrate the little things. Just because your child has nerves doesn't mean you need to. Take a deep breath, write your worry on a balloon, and let it go. Keep walking in your greatness! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2757 When Nothing Goes As Planned
The best feeling in the world is watching things finally fall into place when nothing goes as planned. Just as a season haunts you keeping your dreams stranded, it may be the season that ignites you. Make today amazing! If you haven't figured it out by now, nothing goes as planned. You can try to have everything in order, and still something will fall out of order. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Why do we have to be reminded all the time that change is a constant? Because if you could come to grips with change, life might actually be simpler with less stress. Think about it. When you wake up with a heavy heart or are challenged by your disruptive struggles, your attitude isn't the best. The day gets away from you. However, just because the world seems to be falling apart around you doesn't mean you have to let it affect your actions. Take A.I.M. on what matters to you. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make today amazing! What if you could do over your morning so far? What would you change? How would you approach the day differently? Sometimes getting on the same boat is easier than thinking about what needs your attention on the new boat. Let your day stimulate your heart so your actions and words can lead you to start. Dress with a smile so you can feel empowered regardless of the mess that soon towers. Tune out what doesn't serve your priorities, and take A.I.M. on your authority. Your achievement for the day is defined by you. Don't question what needs attention. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo CHALLENGE: Break the excuses that jail your fuses. You have gotta get the energy flowing by doing what actions are required for soaring. CAUTION: You are going to stay right where you are. Not because of your comfort zone, but because of your attitude. CELEBRATE: So, if you want to celebrate when your head hits the pillow, you must create your now. You've got what it takes. Make today amazing, even when nothing goes as planned. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2756 Healthy Living Requires Relaxation
When was the last time you unplugged? Annie Lamont said, "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." Healthy living requires relaxation. Calm your senses and embrace the unwind. How difficult is it for you to slow down? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT For me, it's no big deal. But for many who are hardwired to be productive in everything they do, this comes with a challenge. So whether or not this applies to you, I would encourage you to listen and see if maybe it can help someone you love. Now, I know how to settle down and hang out so my mind doesn't have to keep working overtime. However, my husband on the other hand is quite different. It took years for him to understand the meaning of rest and relaxation. He is such a driven individual (which can be very beneficial), but it can also harm his body if he doesn't learn how to shut down, relax in the moment, and unwind. We live in a world of constant stimulation. Just look at our kids. And when you don't know how to escape this, it leaves people fatigued and exhausted. No wonder people are walking around like zombies. There is no time to rest. And if they do, usually you will catch them on something electronic. If you want to give your body what it needs, you gotta unplug to recharge. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unplug to recharge! In a survey, originally published in the Daily Mail, examined over 2,000 adults who were asked how often they relax, if they felt stressed or worried during the day, and what they did to relax. Surprisingly, 75% of those surveyed said they experienced days with no downtime or relaxation. The most common reasons were a hectic job, dealing with anxiety, having too many things to do, and feeling needed or relied upon. But here's the kicker, 46% of those surveyed stated that they had trouble relaxing during specific times dedicated to rest, like a vacation or the weekend. What about you? Did you relax and chill out during your last excursion? Offline is the new luxury. So why wait to feel great. It's time to work at relaxing as much as we are trying to get into shape. Unplug to recharge. Do the obvious -- Turn off the electronics. Trade your phone for a book. Go for an evening stroll. Write a book or journal. Focus on your breathing. Express your creativity. Stretch your body (yoga). Spend time with family and friends. Speak words of gratitude in the mirror. Explore nature. CHALLENGE: Make time to relax and not live in your busyness. CAUTION: You will always find things that need your attention. So be cautious about how you plan your escape every day. CELEBRATE: When you do stop and smell the roses, celebrate this time by not planning what's next. Your presence of relaxation is a gift to yourself. "Train for life. Love your journey!" #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2755 Shine in the Mess
Look for something positive every day, even if some days you have to look a little harder. The task ahead of you is never greater than the strength within you. Shine in the mess. Wouldn't it be nice to have everything organized according to your dreams, goals, and aspirations? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Then, you could structure your day to represent your priorities, not just putting out the fires and loading the trucks. Maybe then you would feel like your day is under control and all your dreams will come true. But unfortunately, your doubt is larger than life. It suffocates those dreams and goals while fanning the flames of your fears. Who are you to dream? Who are you to live out your God-sized dreams here on earth? Hopelessness comes in many shapes, colors, and sizes. It can sneak up on you in seconds, but leave you feeling empty for weeks. However, this moment is going to be different. Today, you decide how you will respond. The K.I.S.S. ~ Shine in the mess! There are times when everything is a mess. If you feel like you're losing everything, remember that trees lose their leaves every year, and they stand tall and wait for better days to come. And all those leaves on the ground become a playground with happy yells and smiles all around. Shine in the mess. You don't have to give up. You don't have to play it safe. What you must do is take A.I.M; action ignites motivation. Don't let your words fall flat by taking no action. You may not know what will happen, but when you are in motion, you can adjust accordingly. Flexibility and adaptability are your friends when it comes to shining in the mess. So take a deep breath. The best is yet to come. You just have to be willing to do what it takes to take the next step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo You got this, my friend. Shine in the mess. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2754 How Sweet the Sound
Hearing yourself recognize for your achievements; Oh, how sweet the sound. But can your quest for success leave your dreams behind you instead of in front of you? Accolades and achievements come with a price. Some of the costs are worth sacrificing. But how far do you really want to go? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Relationships suffer due to the drive for success. The power of success is debilitating for the mind, body, and spirit as the quest for success reigns above relationships. Why do you think there are so many divorces with top-level leadership in companies, both big and small. Yes, those leaders are missing in action when it comes to their presence in the family roles. But you can't fault the lack of drive for personal success versus the increase of drive for professional success. So, where does the balance come from? If you are always tuned in with how sweet the sound of YOU stands out, then nothing will change. At some point, you must commit to your priorities from all aspects of your life, not just the one that's easiest and more convenient. Success is not defined only by your career achievements. Success is defined by your entire life, and that includes your personal life too. At some point, you have to wake up and discover what really matters in all seasons of your life; the good, the bad, and the ugly. Then, construct a way to savor the day! How sweet the sound of your achievements begins with the reflection in the mirror. The K.I.S.S. ~ How sweet the reflection! "Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition." ~ Abraham Lincoln You don't need to obtain all the medals, honors, certificates, trophies, and stickers to be successful, to have people recognize your greatness. Is it nice and personally rewarding? Of course. But how far does that get you? Just to the next step until you need something more. Keep going to better yourself, but don't focus on the reward at the end. You, my friend, are on a journey. "Your recognition comes from your reflection. The reward comes in your journey." ~ Kristanne Wargo FEEL where you want to HEAL. There are always areas that beat you up, or that you choose to beat yourself up. You need to acknowledge those areas, pain points, and sensitive circumstances so you can work through the mess in order to bless. REFLECT how you want to SERVE. Showing up for others is much easier than doing it for yourself. But generosity goes both ways. You must be willing to serve yourself too. And then be ready to extend that to others. But it starts with you! SEE who you want to BE. Reflection is is a scary thing. Look at your children. That in itself is a wake-up call. Because your children mirror you, not 100%, but they're still a reflection. So in order to become who you want to be, you must see to believe it within yourself. It's amazing what you can do when you know who you see in the mirror. No surprises, only sheer greatness in the making. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo CHALLENGE: Who do you see? When you look at yourself, who do you see? And not what other people say who you are. But really who you are. Don't be afraid to take some time on this. Plus, when you do look at your reflection, do it at various times (i.e., happy, mad, sad, glad). CAUTION: Do not fall into the trap of talking to yourself from only your feelings. Own your feelings, but rely on facts. CELEBRATE: With every little change, celebrate who you are becoming. It's exciting. It's scary. It's a party every day! Be proud when you (or others) whisper your name. "Be present. Be incredible.

2753 When You Have Nothing to Say
When you have nothing to say, God does. Just because life is not what you make it, nor do you understand why you have to fake it, give it all back to God. He's got you all the time! All the time, God is good. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT So start leaning on Him. Let your guard down. I find that when tension arises in our every day, it's easy to push God away. You get mad. And that's human. But you don't want it to stick. And that's where you get stuck. You lean on your own strength only to find more weakness. When you have nothing to say, God does. The K.I.S.S. ~ Give it all back to God! A couple of nights ago, my son, grandson, and I drove back to our home. My youngest (who's not that young anymore), started snapping pictures of the sky. I wasn't sure of his focus, so I inquired about his fascination; what did he see. Shortly after my inquiry, he showed me a few digital shots. All I could say...Only God! The sky was so descriptive. The colors melted my soul and invigorated my spirit. I literally felt God's presence all around. The sky was glowing in all its majestic nature. There aren't many times I'm without words -- But God stopped me in my thoughts. The reminder was plain and clear. "You don't need yourself. You need Me! Trust Me!" And there you have it. When you have nothing to say, feel lost or blinded, don't rely on what you know. Reach for God first. Let Him delight in your every day. Yea...you may not always get your way. But God will make it a magnificent day! As your words are jumbled and your mind confused, let God in before you slam the door. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2752 You Just Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
Every day ready your senses to elevate your marriage. The more senses you engage, the greater love grows. You just ain't seen nothing yet until your senses get it too. You want to lock in all the memories, but busyness takes over the mind, and soon you are frazzled. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Everything begins to meld together. You don't know if you're coming or going. The memories fade more quickly, and soon you wonder what happened upon reflection. Relationships require connection, especially marriages. You can't think hangin' out, makin' dinner, and cleanin' the house will improve your marriage, and it may work a little. Who doesn't want a clean home and a full tummy? But what you and your spouse need are the firey moments, the ones that matter most (which you should remember. True connection with your spouse comes when you savor the moments. The K.I.S.S. ~ Savor the moments! This comes from all of your senses; see, smell, hear, taste, and touch (feel). However, as easy as it sounds, captivating your senses can be challenging. It takes work to zone in on what matters to you and your spouse. So when you savor the moments, you activate your senses. What are your senses going to remember? SEE. Look at the colors, the landscape, and the environment around you. Notice the clothes and expressions that pop for you. SMELL. What scents wake up your nose? What about the cologne/perfume? If you're eating at a restaurant or on the beach, what tingled your nose? HEAR. What do the crickets sing in the moonlight? Or are they? What song do you attach to the moment? TASTE. Here you can combine taste and texture for your mouth. So that can involve many areas. How did the food taste? What's your favorite dessert? TOUCH. How did you feel? What gave you those goosebumps? And I want you to think about this. Not all senses you remember will be positive, and you may have some negative ones attached to the moment. But that's okay. The key is committing to your spouse's presence to love deeper. CHALLENGE: Look for an opportunity to activate your senses and practice that engagement. Maybe it's during your night of intimacy. Maybe it's at your child's wedding or game or dance recital. CAUTION: Not all senses will be used when you savor the moments. But that doesn't mean you have to ignore the moment. Keep to the challenge and press forward. CHEER: Be excited about activating your senses. Life is too short to fuss over what really doesn't matter. This is your life. Make it count with your spouse.

2751 Awaken Your Inner Comedian
Laughter really is the best medicine. And if you're raising kids, you'll want to be able to find the humor every day just to survive. Awaken your inner comedian. Who would have thought that as a parent, being a comedian would come in handy? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT There is so much stress in life. And as a parent, that stress is compounded by five times per child. Think of all the stages of life you have already been through with your children. Some you might have enjoyed, and others you barely could pick yourself up off the floor. But if we as parents are going to raise up the next generation to impact the world that they touch with morals, values, and confidence, it all starts with us. You and I, as parents, must rise up in order to raise up kids. You can't run and hide from tough conversations. You can't let the kids rule the house. You can't let things slide when a lesson needs to be learned. You can't assume someone else will handle it. You are the parent. You get to rock the world with how you train up your children. So one way to thrive and not just survive as a parent is by awakening your inner comedian. The K.I.S.S. ~ Awaken your inner comedian! You being able to laugh through the good, the bad, and the ugly helps to keep your heart beating strong. In life, there are always unknowns; situations that you wish never occurred and circumstances that you wish did. But control is not the tool of parenting. Yes, rules and boundaries need to be instilled in every family. But so does laughter. So you gotta awaken your inner comedian. DISCOVER the funny side of the situation. No one likes to be confronted with challenges and chaos. But you and I both know that's life. Instead of getting yourself entangled with the emotions of the situation, rely on the facts by discovering the funny side of the situation. Now that doesn't mean you will share this funny side. However, it gives you breath as you try to understand what is happening. BREAK the ice with laughter. Life brings about tough situations, and just not the "birds and the bees" conversation. When you are stuck and don't know how to approach a subject, break the ice with laughter. Even a serious situation benefits from laughing. It breaks the tension and opens the mind for what's to come. LAUGH for your well-being. Some might say this is selfish. But you have to understand that you being grounded on the solution to the problem and what went wrong gives you clarity and a clearer picture of the truth. Laughing helps to neutralize the stress. And you can always use some stress reduction in life. So why not laugh more? CHALLENGE: Look for an opportunity to be a comedian. You don't need a mom joke or dad joke. You need your heart to connect with what's happening and see the funny side of the circumstance. CAUTION: Not all situations or circumstances can involve humor. There will be, if there hasn't been already, times where seriousness is the only way. So be brave and bold in those moments. But remember, what your children see you engage in facilitates the aftermath, good or bad conversations, etc. It's time to get your giggles on. Life is too short to be stuffy all the time. Go laugh a little louder to teach a lesson calmer. "Be present. Be incredible.

2750 Be Led By Your Dreams
The most important trip you take in life is meeting people halfway, and that includes yourself. "Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson So much of life is squished into the corners. We desire to reject the mistakes made, and then pretend the lessons learned were just by happenstance. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT You ignoring your gifts, talents, and dreams sends messages, not only to your heart, but also to your mind, body, and spirit, that you're not good enough. What you tell yourself over and over again rings true in all aspects of your life. So instead of drooling over the failures, delight in the possibilities. The K.I.S.S. ~ Be led by your dreams! Because that's where it all starts. Your greatness is formed by the decisions and dreams in your life. If you want that journey of hope to continue, you have to be willing to put behind you what you assume drags you down. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo But that one step starts with YOU!!! No one can walk your journey for you. That's why it's YOUR journey. You have to be willing to take the road less traveled both in your actions and words. And don't let your thoughts get away from you. Those repetitive phrases shut down the roads that gain your freedom. Freedom to be who God created you to be. Freedom to love. Freedom to serve. Freedom to forgive. Freedom to live. Right now, you may not like the circumstances of your life. But it's not about whether you like them; it's about how you handle them. Your problems or circumstances don't define you, but they can refine you. So instead of beating yourself up and cheating yourself out of opportunities, meet yourself halfway. See your potential. Engage in your future by taking A.I.M. today. Nothing is impossible. Repeat it again...nothing is impossible. You must first believe in order to achieve. Celebrate who you are becoming. Love your reflection as you grow. Focus on where you stand now. This season of life is the best place for you to be present. Hope is yours to have and to hold. Today is your day. Make it a great day! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

2749 Who's Really in Control Here?
Staying on track by eating healthy and moving intentionally is easier said than done. However, you can do what it takes every day to feel amazing. But who's really in control here? Health is your wealth when it comes to your lifestyle. But one can argue that's not the truth. There are always two sides to every coin. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT The same goes for healthy living. Your lifestyle is dependent primarily on your actions. Yes, your words and thoughts play a role too. But it still comes down to your actions. Which always raises a question. Who's really in control here? Life is challenging with all the ups and downs. Sometimes when you finally think you have it all together, that's when everything falls apart. You have a routine with your workout only to find out school starts in 3 weeks. Now what? Another new schedule to juggle. You've got your got to meals during the week. But now, with travel ball starting, plus football and dance, no one is going to show up at the table. The problem is that most of the time, you (and I) are trying to have it all together, living a balanced life while loving the reflection. Balance?!? That's for the birds on the tree limbs and wires. Life is not balanced. Yes, you can eat a balanced diet and exercise according to your muscle groups. But life will still be unbalanced. I can't stress enough that change is a constant. So as you try to maneuver your every day, don't stress about what's coming your way. Own your junk! The K.I.S.S. ~ Own your J.U.N.K.! You can place blame, talk yourself mean, and experiment with every diet and fitness routine. But when it comes to your lifestyle, there is only one driver in the seat. YOU!!! So you gotta own your J.U.N.K.! JOIN your worlds. As human beings who want to be organized and streamlined, the function of compartmentalizing is a great strategy. However, if you want to do life with less stress, greater energy, and more joy, join your worlds. Not one of your interests, commitments, or responsibilities stands alone. You have to see what you are doing as a lifestyle, not as a box. UNCOVER what isn't working. Why keep trying something that doesn't work? Yes, it's good not to give up too early. But if you're honest with yourself, you know whether or not something has worked. So don't waste your time. Uncover what isn't working. NEGOTIATE for what's in season. Why try and do something that's not possible? You wouldn't go to the blueberry patch to pick blueberries if they weren't in season. So why experiment and waste your time when you know what you think will work simply won't work in your schedule now. Negotiate for what's in season. KICKSTART your day with something good. Every day you fail. So why continually remind yourself that you didn't do something or still can't do something. Kickstart your day with what you will do. Prepare in advance so you leave the excuses at the door. No reason for unexpected guests. Instead of flying by the seat of your pants, put your head and heart into what matters to you. QUESTIONS: What is going to create the greatest impact on your lifestyle? How do you want to live today? No need to worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. (Matthew 6:34) Balance doesn't come by what you do every day. Balance comes when your mind understands what your body needs. Create the lifestyle you desire. Create your now! "Train for life.
