Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

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

In a world filled with the chase for likes, followers, and external validation, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters – genuine connection and meaningful contribution. The relentless pursuit of rankings often leads to a superficial presence, while the pursuit of relevance ensures a lasting impact on others and ourselves. Chase relevance, not rankings. When we prioritize relevance over rankings, we shift our focus from seeking approval to creating value. It's about being authentic, sharing our stories, and making a difference in the lives of those around us. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com True significance is not measured by numbers on a screen but by the depth of our relationships and the positive influence we have on others. In a society that thrives on comparison and competition, it takes courage to choose relevance over rankings. It requires us to look beyond the superficial metrics of success and instead focus on the substance of our actions and intentions. By cultivating authenticity and empathy, we can inspire others and leave a lasting legacy that transcends fleeting moments of fame. The K.I.S.S. ~ Chase relevance, not rankings! So, the next time you feel tempted to chase after rankings, pause and ask yourself: Am I seeking validation or making a real impact? True fulfillment comes from touching hearts, not topping charts. Let's shift our perspective, embrace our true selves, and chase relevance with unwavering passion. Chase Relevance, Not Rankings by Kristianne Wargo In the race for likes and fame, we often lose our way, Seeking validation in numbers that sway. But true significance lies in the stories we share, In the hearts we touch, showing we care. It's not about the rankings or being on top, But about the connections that never stop. Authenticity and relevance pave the way, For a meaningful impact that forever stays. So let's chase relevance with all our might, Embracing our truth, shining so bright. In a world filled with superficiality and show, Let's choose depth and meaning to let our hearts grow. For in the pursuit of genuine connection, We find purpose, joy, and endless affection. Let's share our stories, inspire, and uplift, In a world where true value is the ultimate gift. "Be present. Be incredible.

Too much of our time is spent in the past. Why do you give more hours to something you can't change? What you have is here and now; let go so you can grow. When we are trying to live out our dreams and discover our purpose in life, somehow we forget that the past matters more than the present, or even the future. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com We tie ourselves to all the failures of what didn't work, but forget the few things that worked well. Seriously! You can't live a life on purpose with a divine design if you let your past become your present. Oftentimes, we give hope to the ashes and forget to discover the beauty in the adventure. Who you are and who you are becoming is a journey of a lifetime. If you want to grow God's way, you have to let go. The K.I.S.S. ~ Let go so you can grow! Because if you continue to hold tight onto the past, you neglect the beauty of the present and the endless possibilities of the future. Letting go is not just a choice; it's a masterpiece in motion where growth, self-discovery, and becoming who you are created to be shine brightly. Here are three transformative steps to release the past and embrace the journey of becoming the person God desires you to be: 1. Practice Forgiveness: Holding onto grudges, resentment, and bitterness only poisons your spirit and hinders your growth. To truly let go and move forward, practice forgiveness – not just toward others but toward yourself as well. Release the burden of past mistakes and choose to forgive, allowing healing and freedom to enter your heart. 2. Cultivate Mindfulness: Embrace the power of mindfulness to anchor yourself in the present moment. By being fully aware of your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings, you can let go of the grip the past has on you. Mindfulness allows you to detach from negative patterns of thinking and open yourself up to new opportunities and possibilities. Change is a constant, and growth is a choice. 3. Embrace Surrender: Surrendering control and trusting in what God has for you can be very freeing. Letting go of the need to micromanage every aspect of your life and instead surrendering to God's plan can lead to immense growth and transformation. Trust in the journey laid out before you, have faith that all things work together for your good, and release the need to constantly fight against the current. When you give yourself permission to practice forgiveness, cultivate mindfulness, and embrace surrender, you pave the way for personal growth, spiritual awakening, and alignment with God's divine purpose designed for you. Letting go is not a sign of weakness but a demonstration of strength and faith in the journey ahead. Release the past, embrace the present, and watch yourself grow into the person you are becoming in the future. This is your day to shine brightly! "Be present. Be incredible.

Waiting has become a lost art in a world that values speed and efficiency. Yet, as believers and Christians, waiting on the Lord is not passive but a powerful act of trust and surrender. Are you one who will stay lost, or will you live while you wait? Most of the time, we work for the results and not the relationship. But as people of faith, it's about anchoring your identity in God's promises and embracing each moment with purpose, hope, and courage regardless of the outcomes. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com It's about anchoring our identity in God's promises and embracing each moment with purpose, hope, and courage. But we know that's easier said than done. Because why not cling to the results and outcomes? Why not live for what we want? In the waiting, it's not about our junk. It's about remembering whose you are. As Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, "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." Our waiting is not in vain, as you renew your spirit and trust in the unwavering love of your Heavenly Father. The only choice that makes sense is to live while you wait. The K.I.S.S. ~ Live while you wait! The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ~ Psalm 27:1 (KJV) When do you want to grow up and be honest with yourself? You can't keep doing what you are doing if you want the life God has designed for you. That means your trust has to be greater than your fears. Your hope has to be in God, who controls all, not in your own strength. "For we walk by faith, not by sight." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7 Other translations for 2 Corinthians 5:7 say, "For we live by faith, not by sight." Whether you walk or live by faith, you need to do it God's way. Our way only gets in His way. So as you are waiting for what God has for you, have a willing mind, body, and spirit to take the next step closest to you. One decision leads to the next step. And when you are building your relationship with God, the earthly results you are searching for are not important. Will you live while you wait? Hopefully, by being willing to take the next step, you will trust more and more that walking by faith does not have all the answers, but trusting that God's always got you, regardless of the results. Nothing is impossible! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to get caught up in our priorities and forget to check in on our partner's mental health and well-being. While supporting each other's dreams and aspirations is essential, nurturing your spouse's mental health is equally vital for a thriving marriage. We tend to forget that a marriage takes two to tango. And that means, when your spouse hurts, you hurt. But if all we do is focus on ourselves and don't really "see" our spouse, we can miss what's right in front of us. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com There are so many things that come up in marriage that directly or indirectly affect our mental well-being. But if we don't stop to recognize or take mental note, we keep loading the trucks and living our habits. Couples may struggle to openly communicate their feelings and thoughts, leading to misunderstandings and emotional distance. And if you are hiding emotions, they are not the good ones that hang around. It's the destructive emotions that keep you on the ground. Then, you interject the fear of how your spouse sees you, like being judged or criticized, which in itself hinders them from sharing their innermost thoughts or emotions. It can get a little bit wacky! And we're not finished yet. What about all that past baggage that you and your spouse are carrying. Past experience or unresolved issues can create barriers to honest and open communication, leading to a mix of realities. That's destructive to a person and to the marriage. Just because life is crazy and the chaos has more of our attention, doesn't mean that you discount your sweetheart! You must stay in tune with where your spouse is emotionally, or you will have a totally different situation to deal with. Don't let the demands of work, family, and daily responsibilities create a wedge or even a mountain that you all can't overcome. It's time to be intentionally on the marriage you really desire and that comes with the mental health of your spouse. When you create mindful moments to prioritize mental well-being in your marriage, you can then strengthen your emotional bond and promote a deeper sense of connection, a stronger marriage. So if you want a thriving marriage, take time and look at the mind. The K.I.S.S. ~ Take time and look at the mind! If your excuses are all about how busy you are, what you still have to do, and what the kids need, you are missing the most important person: your spouse. Take the time and look at the mind. And that's their mind, and yours. What does it look like to foster a supportive environment for your partner's mental health? 1. Sit 'n Listen: Set aside regular time to sit and truly listen to your spouse without judgment or distractions. Show empathy and validation for their feelings and experiences. The goal needs to be to create a safe space for honest conversations about how they are feeling. Encourage your partner to share their thoughts, concerns, and needs without fear of criticism. You need to be there to hold them up, not keep score of their wrongs! 2. Be Intentional in the Silence: You have a greater effect on your spouse with what is not shared, and what your body and looks say. If you are mad, watch out how your face shows it. Your spouse sees more than what you say. And the same goes for you, right? You see more than what your spouse says. So be intentional in the silence and be kind to those who are in front of you! 3. Wrap Your Spouse in Gratitude: Think of it as the grateful hug. Express your gratitude for your sweetheart's support and care, and acknowledge the effort they put into maintaining their mental health. Small gestures of appreciation can go a long way in strengthening your bond. Remember, creating mindful moments for mental well-being in your marriage is an ongoing process that requires patience, understanding, and love. By prioritizing each other's mental health and well-being, you can build a resilient and supportive relationship that stands the test of time. "Be present. Be incredible.

As parents, navigating the many decisions that shape our children's lives is a constant challenge. From setting boundaries to granting permissions, we carry the weight of molding our children into responsible, compassionate individuals. But amidst the sea of no's, your yes makes all the difference. For every moment we have to say no – whether it's to a request for a late-night sleepover or an extra scoop of ice cream – there is an opportunity to say yes in a different way. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com It's about more than just the answer; it's about the attention we pay to our children. In a world where our children are surrounded by friends, teachers, and mentors, our yes holds a unique power. It signifies that we see them, that we hear them, and that we value their wants and needs. It's about being present in their lives in a way that goes beyond permission or denial. So, how can we as parents ensure that our yes is truly impactful, beyond the words themselves? See, so they achieve! The K.I.S.S. ~ See, so they achieve! Keep in mind: This has nothing to do with being the best or perfect, or having received awards and recognition in life, for example, at school. It's all about how you recognize their presence so they know you are present. Here are three key things: 1. Be Present: Put down the phone, step away from the screen, and give your child your full attention. Engage in meaningful conversations, look in their eyes, listen actively, and show that you are there for them in mind, body, and spirit. Your body language speaks more than your words. Don't pretend that you are paying attention when you might be drifting off into another iCloud. 2. Empathize: Understand that your child's requests, no matter how small or trivial they may seem, are important to them. Empathize with their feelings, validate their experiences, and show that you care about what matters to them. Ensure your child knows that you understand how they feel. 3. Connect: Look for opportunities to bond with your child, whether it's through shared activities, quality time together, or simply being there when they need you. Establish a solid foundation of trust and understanding that extends beyond mere responses and resonates on a deeper level. Ultimately, it's not about always saying yes, but about making your yes meaningful. By recognizing the power of attention over answers, you can truly make a difference in your children's lives. So, the next time you're faced with a request, remember that your 'yes' makes all the difference — a powerful tool for connection, compassion, and an extension of your love. "Be present.

Maybe you find yourself sitting around, wondering why you can't seem to get things done? It's a feeling many of us experience, especially as we navigate the challenges of a busy work and personal life. But here's the thing – it's not about your age or how fast time seems to be slipping away. It's about mastering the art of doing that can truly change the game. Think back to when you were younger. Remember how you conquered challenges with unwavering determination and limitless energy? You just kept going. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com That same spirit still resides within you, waiting to be rekindled. The key lies in understanding that time is constant; it's our approach to tasks and goals that evolves with experience. Consider the analogy of renovating a house. You start with a clear vision and a set budget, only to encounter unexpected obstacles and additional work along the way. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and tempted to slow down, but that's precisely when your persistence is put to the test. The truth is, the journey of accomplishment is not always a linear path. It's about adapting to unforeseen circumstances, staying agile in the face of challenges, and most importantly, never losing sight of your destination, where you are headed. Yes, there may be more to do than when you first began, but that doesn't mean you should waver in your resolve. The K.I.S.S. ~ The art of doing! It's time to shift your mindset and embrace the art of doing. Rein in those self-defeating thoughts and excuses that hold you back. Don't let them temper your enthusiasm today. Remember, nothing worth achieving comes easily, but with perseverance and a focused mindset, even the most daunting tasks become achievable. Stop feeding yourself lies that undermine your capabilities. You have the strength and resilience to tackle whatever comes your way. Trust in your abilities, stay true to your goals, and forge ahead with unwavering determination. You've got this – believe in yourself, stay the course, and watch as you rise to the top. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Embrace the challenges, celebrate the victories, and keep moving forward. The art of doing is not just about reaching the finish line; it's about the journey of growth, self-discovery, and the adventures along the way. So, hold on tight, keep pushing forward, and watch as you transform trials into triumphs. "Be present. Be incredible.

Many things sound good in our heads. We convince ourselves how this or that can work for the better. However, once you examine the facts, the season you're in, and what you need, the thoughts in your head do not always make sense. How can you clear the clutter to change your body? In a world filled with distractions and noise, it's easy to fall into the trap of believing that what sounds good in our minds will automatically lead to positive outcomes for our bodies. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com However, the truth is far more complex. Our bodies have their language, their needs, and their unique way of communicating with us. To truly make lasting changes and achieve optimal health, it's essential to tune in and listen to what our bodies are telling us. However, you must first decide to clear the clutter. The K.I.S.S. ~ Clear the clutter! And it's not any clutter. It's all the stuff that you keep gathering year after year; all the failures and successes. There you find an overwhelming amount of stuff that holds you back. You are weighed down, not by a number, but by the stuff that claims your heart and attention. So, how do you escape the mess you put yourself in? Here are three practical steps to help you clear the clutter and start making mindful choices for your body: 1. Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body reacts to different foods, activities, and environments. Keep a journal to track your energy levels, digestion, mood, and other vital signs. For example, if you notice that you feel sluggish after eating a particular type of food, consider cutting it out or reducing your intake. By fine-tuning your diet and lifestyle based on your body's feedback, you can create a tailored approach that works best for you. 2. Prioritize You: You must take care of yourself. Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your daily routine. This could include activities such as meditation, journaling, exercise, spending time in nature, or simply taking a break to relax and recharge.

Clear the Clutter to Change Your Body by Kristianne Wargo In the whispers of our bodies, lies the key, To unlock the secrets of health and harmony. Listen closely to its gentle plea, For true wellness is found when we let it be. Clear the clutter, let your body speak, In its messages, the answers you seek. Nurture it with care, strong and meek, A partnership of love, pure and unique. So as you journey through each passing day, Remember, your body has much to say. Listen, learn, and pave the way, For a life of wellness, come what may. "Be present. Be incredible.

Fear can be paralyzing. It can hold us back from pursuing our dreams, from taking risks, from embracing the unknown. But what if you were to shift your perspective and see that fear is your friend? Consider how you could welcome fear and then acknowledge its presence, not overwhelm you, but keeping you grounded and moving forward. You don't want fear to dictate your actions or control your decisions. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com For those of us standing on the edge of a new adventure, feeling the tug of something exciting and an unknown calling our name, fear can be a formidable barrier. It whispers doubts in our ears, paints worst-case scenarios in our minds, and fills us with a sense of unease. But what if, instead of retreating in the face of fear, we were to step forward with courage and conviction, knowing that fear is simply a companion on our journey, not a hindrance? It's true that stepping into the unknown can be daunting. The outcomes may be uncertain, the challenges may be humongous, and the road ahead may be filled with twists and turns. But in those moments of doubt and hesitation, remember this: you have what it takes. You are resilient, capable, and strong. You are created for such a time as this, for this adventure of a lifetime that beckons you forward. The K.I.S.S. ~ Fear is your friend! As you navigate the path ahead, remember that fear is not a sign of weakness, but a reminder of your humanity. It is a natural response to the unfamiliar, a signal that you are stepping outside of your comfort zone and into uncharted territory. Embrace fear as a companion on your journey, a reminder that you are alive, that you are taking risks, that your breath is worth living. Believe in who you are and who you are becoming. Trust in your instincts, in your intuition, in your strength. Make fear your friend, not your foe. Lean into it, acknowledge it, but do not let it hold you back. For on the other side of fear lies a world of possibilities, of adventures, of vibrant, joy-filled experiences that are waiting for you to embrace them. So, take that leap. Dive into the unknown. Embrace change with open arms and a fearless heart. And remember, fear is your friend. Fear is Your Friend by Kristianne Wargo In the stillness of the night, when doubt clouds your mind, And the path ahead seems daunting, uncertain, undefined, Remember this truth, let it resonate deep inside, Nothing is impossible, unless you decide. Fear is your friend, a companion on the way, Guiding you through darkness into the light of day, It whispers of challenges, of what could go wrong, But ignore its deception, and instead, be strong. Hold on for the ride, let courage be your guide, Step into the unknown, where dreams coincide, With every heartbeat, with every breath you take, Embrace the fear within you, let it keep you awake. For on the other side of fear lies endless possibility, Where growth and transformation meet resilience and humility, Trust in yourself, in your journey, in your inner light, And watch as fear transforms into a beacon burning bright. So, dance with fear, embrace its fiery glow, Let it fuel your passions, let it help you grow, For in the face of uncertainty, in the midst of the tide, Remember, fear is your friend—it's time to hold on for the ride.

In the journey of pursuing our goals and dreams, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and rush to the finish line without laying a solid foundation. However, just like a house needs a sturdy base to stand strong, our aspirations require a stable groundwork to support our growth and success; build the foundation first. A house cannot serve you well if there is no foundation to keep everything stable. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Imagine what it would be like to build your house on sand versus on solid rock. It would be a little awkward to have your house shift as you cook your dinner, eventually having one side five inches lower than the other part of the house. Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew. We expect things to fall into place, but that's not going to happen. Life doesn't work that way. We continue to work diligently to get things done. But with the pile up, there you have it. The shift occurs, the foundation is shaken, and the fall begins. At some point, you have to make a decision to make some changes that build the foundation first. The K.I.S.S. ~ Build the foundation first! Here are three essential steps to prioritize building the foundation first, in both identity and personal growth: 1. Self-Reflection and Clarity: Take the time to reflect on who you are, your values, strengths, and weaknesses. Understanding yourself on a deeper level provides clarity on where you want to go and what steps you need to take to get there. By knowing your foundation, you can confidently navigate towards your aspirations. 2. Set S.M.A.R.T Goals: Define specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals that align with your vision. Building a foundation involves setting the right framework for your ambitions. Break down your goals into actionable steps, creating a roadmap that guides you towards your desired destination. 3. Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Growth is a dynamic process that requires ongoing learning and adaptation. Embrace challenges as opportunities for learning, and be open to adjusting your strategies along the way. Building a strong foundation means being resilient, adaptable, and willing to evolve as you progress towards your goals. Remember, nothing is impossible when you commit to building your foundation first. By taking intentional steps towards self-discovery, goal setting, and continual growth, you pave the way for your dreams to flourish and stand the test of time. "Be present. Be incredible.
