Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care only to find overwhelm pounding down like a bear. Clear the clatter so you can climb the ladder. And this ladder that you are climbing is success with a dash of overwhelm. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT However, who wants second-hand stress. You can get enough of it first hand. Your every day either empowers you or drains you. It either energizes you or buries you. You get to choose. That's part of being a leader in your every day. You get to rise up or stay down. The thing is — you get to create your now. So when you are overcommitted and overwhelmed, clear the clatter. The K.I.S.S. ~ Clear the clatter! You have to be willing though to create your now. And in all honesty, sometimes that takes more work than being overcommitted and overwhelmed. So the only way to overcome your over-commitments, which induces overwhelm, is to clear the clatter. Slow down so you can speed up. If you are always hurried, there is no time to gather your thoughts and your mind prior to an appointment or commitment. Stick to the Daily 3. Your to-do list can get the best of you. Think of the top three that will move your forward. That's where your focus begins. Set a doable schedule. If you start your day cramming in everything but the kitchen sink, you are going to feel defeated before you even begin. All of these require you to make a decision and commit. So when you are faced with a yes or no decision, think of it more as "yes because it inspires" or "no because it tires". By thinking of your decision this way, immediately it connects the dots for your mind, body, and spirit. Clear the clatter so you can climb the ladder. "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.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me, you can do nothing." ~ John 15:5 How much of your life is illuminated by God's love and faithfulness? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Often, we find ourselves struggling to see what God desires for us. We set our goals and strive to reach them. But have you ever stopped long enough and asked God what He wants for you? When life gets away from you, God directs you to, "Remain in Me." The K.I.S.S. ~ Remain in Me! God wants you where He wants you. So stop playing small, and let God move big! Yesterday, I enjoyed a stroll down our town square for the holiday tour. I went with anticipation of beautiful winter wonderland and playful scenes to awaken my Christmas spirit. I was sure the bright sparkly lights would capture the essence of the Christmas spirit. But I was caught in a pause. The decor did not draw me in as I had hoped. I walked door to door searching for something more. Think for a moment about those lights. They represent our relationships with God so well. If there is one bulb, it doesn't do anything special. It's just a bulb. However, when it's grounded to the strand, it lights up! God is the stand representing the vine. You and I are the bulbs; the branches that extend from Him. You are created to be an extension of God, not independent from Him. CHALLENGE: Let your light shine as you draw nearer to God. "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." ~ John 15:5 "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.

Nothing is ever wasted when you choose each other. Marriage is a commitment not to a lifestyle but to a unique individual that deserves your attention. It's easy to get trapped in the hustle and bustle of life. Chauffering the children, getting the promotion, and moving into your dream home (or renovating the current), is not what marriage is about. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT You could call them all the perks of a marriage, whether good or bad, depending upon the moment. But too quickly we get cozy with what seemed to be a dynamic, dynamite attraction where all we do now is ole humbug of routines. What happened to the spark? Did it just die down? Or was it more of a choice over one thing versus another person? Most of us live with good intentions. But because of our lifestyle, we tend to forget what's most important. The people. Relationships. Your marriage! So how do you choose each other when everyone else is clamoring for your attention? Your commitment must shout louder than the voices of those around you. The K.I.S.S. ~ Shout louder than the voices around you! Your commitment to each other must be a priority. And this can only be met if you shout louder than the voices around you. Minimize distractions. You can't let everything else get in the way of what you need as a couple. Set clear boundaries. For the season of life that you are in as a couple, you have to agree on what can and cannot be done. The commitment is not to everything else, but to what you and your spouse need as a couple. Make time always. Life happens. So don't let your marriage become part of the excuse; I just don't have time. You make time for what matters. That means you have to be willing to make time always for each other. Choose each other. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

Some would say what you think about does not bring about what you thought. However, what you plant will prosper. So mix that in with how your child thinks. Do their thoughts have any effect on their results? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT My son and I have conversations on the way to and from school. We talk about what he's working on, his concerns, and even specific homework problems. Then, I make space for him to dream a little about how his school day will go and what could be different to help him. Yesterday as we drove home, there was a police officer who was in the process of pulling someone over who was speeding in the school zone. As you know this mama did, I jumped at the opportunity to use it as a teachable moment, reminding him how going the speed limit is for safety first, not an inconvenience. Long story short, my daughter was on the phone with us, too, discussing weekend graduation plans. She heard about what we were seeing and commented how being pulled over is so uncomfortable and nerve-racking regardless how old you are. Well, that moment came and passed. Later, my son also mentioned to me a conversation we had the day before regarding his up-and-coming math test. He is in an honors class. He made a bold statement that he wished the test could be done in groups. To my surprise, he said with incredible delight, "That's just what happened, Mom! Our teacher was passing out the test and informed us that we would take it in groups." We giggled about the likelihood of this happening. But he was so excited that it did. As the day progressed into the evening, I called my daughter who was headed into town to visit for the graduation festivities. Our second baby girl is graduating from college a semester early with a Biology degree and two minors, Chemistry and Psychology. At this point, she told me she was delayed due to multiple circumstances; taking the dog for a potty stop, and believe it or not, a police officer pulled her over. We were just talking about this a few hours before. Not to embarrass our daughter, so I only told our youngest son what happened. And what he said will amaze you! "I better say start saying positive things more often." The K.I.S.S. ~ Say positive things more often! What you think about you do bring about. If more than 80% of our thoughts are negative, that doesn't leave much on the positive side. That's the big theory for every day; say positive things more often. It does so much good for you in many ways. What you plant will prosper. So stop throwing around all the negative stuff. Plant something positive and it will prosper. "Be present. Be incredible.

When life surprises you, reframe what you see. Circumstances do not govern your feelings. Whether good or bad, shift your perspective and find the silver lining. When you are looking only at what you see, you can be blinded from other options and views. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Good does not always mean it's what you want when you want it. Sometimes, it is changing the perspective in which you view the outcome or result. Even when life feels a little dreary, find the silver lining. But you must be in anticipation of what's to come. You know the saying, "The best is yet to come." That is only as true as what you believe. If you let your hope drown in the pain, you will miss "the best" possibilities. The K.I.S.S. ~ Find the silver lining! So what is really bothering you today? Be specific about the pain and hurt you are experiencing. Don't brush it off like dust. Acknowledge it and then look for what is good; look on the brighter side. The silver lining isn't just in bells that ring during the holidays. It must be in your heart too! You may not know what good looks like, but if you are only looking for the "bad", that's the best you will find. Search your heart. Listen with a keen ear. Take A.I.M. in anticipation of what God is already doing. No. You may not see the fingerprints of His work just yet. But when you are aware of His presence, you will see the breadcrumbs from heaven. The God winks will show up. Find the silver lining. I get that the days are long and the nights are short. If only you could reverse those. Regardless, you can and will experience God's grace and mercy, even when the hurt seems impossible and the pain unbearable. Don't let disappointment and worry cloud your smiles. Don't let assumptions hold you back from seeing that which is beautiful. If you constantly look for the bad, you will constantly fear the what-ifs. Hold your head up high. Give your heart permission to feel and to see the goodness. Greatness is upon you! Find the silver lining. "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.

Change does not come without commitment. However, commitment seems to wait for results. If only you could blend the two. Why wait for the new year? There's no time like the present. You get to start today on the new year, new you program. And it's a special one. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Because it's specific to you! Life can have us coming and going. What you think is going to be a normal day turns out to be something totally different. These derailments can really mess up your plans and what you know is right. But sometimes wrong is easier. You know it. Like it or not. That's the reality. However, you still want your health to be better than where you are today. So why wait for the new year, new you? The K.I.S.S. ~ An A.P.P.L.E. a day is the healthy living way! We all need to refresh what we are doing in our lives. Don't get trapped in what comes easy, because easy isn't always the answer. Be open to looking for what works. An A.P.P.L.E. a day is the healthy living way! AUDIT your existing efforts. What are you doing now? What worked and what didn't? PREPARE a "stopping list". Now, this may actually be better than shopping. For what didn't work, kick it to the curb. This way, you have more room for new ideas. PLAN for what's possible. Every time you instill a new idea, remember you're just testing it. With a test, you become less attached with a greater focus on the data; what works. LET data guide your ideas. Here is where you give permission to experiment and quite what doesn't work all the while committing to what does work. EXECUTE what sticks. Healthy living does not have to be hard. Maybe challenging, but not hard. So when you find something that works, stick to it. This A.P.P.L.E. a day should really minimize the challenge of healthy living and make it more fun and attainable. So buckle up. You've got this already! "Train for life.

We fall, we break, we fail. We rise, we heal, we overcome. Rise to the occasion. This is your living legacy; it's life in motion. You are not guaranteed tomorrow. But you do have today! Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Why waste another minute complaining about stuff that really doesn't matter. Long lines Traffic Weather Laundry piles Dust bunnies Toilet seats up What to fix for dinner You have today to change the world that you touch. You get the awesome opportunity to listen to other people's stories and allow their lives to radiate greatness. It's in your every day where you get to rise to the occasion. The K.I.S.S. ~ Rise to the occasion! "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 As much as you think the world is done with you, God is just beginning. There are new mercies every day. So why let what you can't control defeat what you can. Rise to the occasion. "Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." ~ Romans 5:5 You are not doing life by yourself. Yes, you might feel that way. I get it! But if you stop long enough, that's coming from a selfish position. If God was willing to give up His Son that you may have eternal life, don't you think it's worth the good fight and rise to the occasion? Then, instead of complaining and holding on to the feelings that overwhelm your presence, stand at the door and knock. (Revelations 3:20) As you listen for God's voice, you will gain direction in His presence. Rise to the occasion. Challenge: Ask beyond your feelings. Seek beyond your priorities. Knock for heavenly opportunities are near. "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.

With the new year vastly approaching, goal-setting typically drives preparation for new possibilities leading to your success. But is success found by achieving your goals? Let's look at the goals you set for this year. Did you meet all your goals? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT If you did, it's pretty quick to reason that you were successful this year. But what if your goals were not met? What if you only made $25,000 more than your original projection based on sales? Or you might have lost only 19 lbs. instead of your goal of 30 lbs. Then, there could be taking a vacation for an extra two weeks. but you only squeezed in one week. And what about spending more time with your spouse, the one that sleeps next to you? Maybe you had hoped to work on a few specific areas in your marriage, however, you barely made time for date night. How do your results based on your goal-setting describe your success? Are you a failure? Or would you call it a successful year? Depending on your attitude at the moment, you could reason out both of them. But statistically, you are still more accomplished than 90% of people in the world. So what if you looked at goal-setting in a different manner? Not to create daily to-do lists, but to grow and stretch you in all areas of life (i.e., financial, physically, emotionally, relationally, personally, professionally, and spiritually). The K.I.S.S. ~ Use G.O.A.L.-setting to grow and stretch you! How would that shift your perspective on success? "Failure comes without actions. Success is created by failed actions and intentional goals." ~ Kristianne Wargo So what are you waiting for? Let's create the groundwork. Now, remember, you can always use the S.M.A.R.T. to help in defining each goal. Specific Measurable Achievable/Attainable Realistic/Relevant Timely However, you want to attack the goal so you can Go Out And Live! Grind the possibilities. This is where you brainstorm all your thoughts and ideas. Organize your priorities. What matters to you in this season and year? AIM to prepare and produce. Action ignites motivation. Lead with your presence. No goal can be met unless you are present. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "Success is not found by achieving your goals. However, goals are the foundation that directs your path to success." ~ Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up. ~ James 4:10 It's challenging enough in our every day to take a step back and see a moment through the eyes of the Lord. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT But if you can, you begin to understand what God wants to see in you. This weekend is College Championship Games (Big 10, ACC, SEC, Big12). So you know where I wanted to be. In front of the TV enjoying all the games. Well, my wonderful husband said to me in the morning that he had two projects he wanted to complete. Now, I pressed him on what they were because I knew that my day would be altered due to the outcome of these so-called "projects." Long story short, our door handle was in need of repair. And the mechanism inside was completely destroyed. So someone had to go to the local hardware store and get a new handle. Did you know that it was only 8 minutes until the start of the first College championship game? Oh yes! I was not thrilled. But hopeful, that I could locate what I needed swiftly and be home in a jiffy. That didn't happen. Instead, I found myself speaking with a worker there. Not about what I needed (and yes, I did ask, but the answer was given quickly), but the story of his life. And his story was not short to the point. It was a minimum of a forty-minute recap of his life from college to the present. All I can say was that my sign, "Tell me your life's story", must have had bright Christmas lights flashing. Without going into a lot of detail, there were millisecond moments that I shifted to another conversation both in my head and with God. Now don't call me crazy just yet. There is a reason I'm sharing this story. First, it was all about the hardware, what I needed to buy. Second, I was missing my football and just wanted to make a decision. Third, I knew this man's life story was important and deserved my attention. After what seemed like an eternity (probably 15-20 minutes or so), I simply asked God, "Why am I here?" My plan was not to go anywhere, but to finish decorating the house for Christmas and watching football while spending time with the family. The last thing I wanted to do was be in a hardware store. But you know how that ended. The K.I.S.S. ~ Humble yourself! You see at the moment where I asked God why I was here, the man told me how he had been spared nine times. Just last year, he had three heart attacks. He even told me about his first accident where he went over an embankment with a 35 feet drop only to have his car broken in half, yet he walked away with only a scratch. God was not finished with him then, and He's not finished with him now. So as the young 90-year-old continued his story, I was deeply struck that this could be the only reason why I was to come to the hardware store that day. It was to hear his story. And maybe this would be the last time he would tell the whole story. And I would be the one blessed to hear it. Humble yourself. From that moment on, what I needed didn't matter anymore. My purpose at this time was to listen intently to a great man who served his country and still cares for people in a unique manner. Maybe it was my glimpse into my life to come; serving others regardless of age. Yet it would be with my bright flashing sign that reads, "Tell me your life's story." At the moment, I knew this was exactly where God wanted me. Yes, it was an interruption to my day. But a greater blessing because of it. To Bill, you will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for your service, your kindness, and your spunky attitude. Your strength is your story! Today, I want to encourage you to be hyper-aware of where God can use you.

One of the tugs-of-war in relationships is a place to belong. But sometimes it comes with great struggles and frustration. The whisper in the heart echoes, "Where do I fit in?" Everyone desires to be seen and heard. Some are blessed and have that most of the time. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT However, many are restless because there is an emptiness in the everyday; a place to belong. Where do you fit in? Do you have a place to belong? And I mean something more than cooking dinner, doing the laundry, or being an underpaid uber driver to activities. Life isn't about your responsibilities, even though they are essential. The heartbeat of life comes from your relationships especially your marriage, your partner for life. Plus, you having a place to belong gives you a greater motivation to continue your journey with intentional direction and actions, not just going through the motions because you have to. But what if you feel like a misfit in your own home? What if you are like an ornament out of place on the Christmas tree? You don't get noticed. You blend in with every other ornament. Nothing sets you apart. How do you find a place to belong when you feel lost? You have to learn to shop differently. The K.I.S.S. ~ Learn to shop differently! Who doesn't like shopping? Okay. A few women and most men. But what if this isn't your typical shopping, going into a brick 'n mortar store? Think of it as a shift in perspective, how you train yourself to look so you see what you don't normally see. It's window shopping at its best. Confused? Great! Let's break it down. You're shopping for three things. Comfort - Comfort comes in all shapes and sizes. You have to know what your spouse needs and your spouse needs to understand what you need. Don't think he should already know. Assumptions only attract wedges in the marriage. Beauty - Life isn't always what you want or hope for. So you have to be willing to look beyond the messes and see the blessings. When you give yourself permission to see past the faults and failures, there is where beauty is discovered between two committed people. Peace - Temper tantrums may have worked when you were younger, but it's not very attractive the older you get. Trying to jab and poke just because you want to prove a point or be right does not make it the correct choice for instilling peace. And understand, peace does not mean everyone gets along with no fights. In fact, you may have more heated discussions because you have created space to be real and authentic without judgment. Every side is understood. Everyone is heard. This brings peace even within disagreements. So get to shopping. It will be the best time you've ever spent personally and as a couple.
