Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

What do you do when all h*ll breaks loose regarding healthy living? There are so many times when you don't have any control, because outside factors are dictating the situation or circumstance. How do you go about making healthy choices? How do you make your life count when everything around you is crumbling? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com In times when everything seems to be falling apart and circumstances feel overwhelming, it's essential to remember that the power to make a positive impact on your well-being lies within you. While external factors may be out of your control, there are still ways to prioritize your health and well-being even when all h*ll breaks loose. You need to understand that you matter, and what you can do in the moment and season you're in is all that counts. Beating yourself up for the unknowns or uncontrollable options is not possible. That only digs a deeper hole that you are not worthy. And that is backward thinking! Move forward and embrace what matters-- YOU!!! The K.I.S.S. ~ Do what you can! It's not about being perfect in healthy living, but making good choices that work for an imperfect season. 1. Focus on What You Can Control: In situations where external circumstances seem to dictate your life, it's crucial to shift your focus to what you can control. This might include your mindset, daily habits, and self-care practices. By directing your energy and effort towards managing the aspects of your life that are within your reach, you can empower yourself to make healthier choices despite the chaos around you. "Let the hamster wheel go; you can still drink water while on it." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Practice Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: Being kind to yourself during challenging times is paramount. Instead of criticizing yourself for not being able to control external factors, practice self-compassion and mindfulness. Take moments to breathe, reflect on your strengths, and acknowledge the efforts you're making towards maintaining your well-being. By nurturing a positive relationship with yourself, you can better navigate difficult circumstances with resilience and grace. "Kindness goes a long way when you serve from your heart." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Seek Support and Connection: Remember, you don't have to face tough times alone. Reach out to friends, family, or a support network for guidance and encouragement. Sharing your struggles with others can provide a sense of relief and perspective, reminding you that you are not alone in your journey towards health and wellness. Whether through virtual connections, therapy, or community resources, seeking support can help you feel empowered and supported during challenging times. When all h*ll breaks loose, remember that your well-being matters, and taking care of yourself is a courageous act of loving who you are and who you are becoming. By focusing on what you can control, practicing mindfulness and self-compassion, and seeking support from others, you can navigate through tough times with resilience and determination. Embrace the power within you to make healthy choices and prioritize your well-being, no matter what circumstances may come your way. You are made for more. Don't sell your body short just because you're in a season of chaos. Take a deep breath, be present in your decisions, and follow through with resilient action. You got this! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Something so basic can seem so obvious. But why don't we do the obvious, like being kind or sharing a smile? All it takes is a decision to make it happen. Why not start your day happy? All too often, we wake up letting what the day "means" and where it falls in the week determine whether or not we're gonna have a good day. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com How shallow it is of us to assume that the name of the day dictates the feeling you should have. What if you were to buy into the truth of how you get to control how you show up? Think about how you woke up today. Maybe you could ask yourself the same question as you go to bed. You can feel what you want, but you can also determine how you want to react or respond to your feelings. Just Monday is not liked by the majority of people who go to work, doesn't mean you have to dislike Monday. It's all your perspective. So why not.... The K.I.S.S. ~ Start your day happy! As you wake up each morning, take a moment to savor the sensations of a new day. Feel the rhythm of your heartbeat, take a deep breath, and embrace the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. Instead of succumbing to negative thoughts or letting external circumstances dictate your mood, choose to show up with intention and positivity. Choose to show up with a kind smile! Why not greet the day with a smile and an open heart, ready to embrace whatever comes your way? By cultivating a mindset of gratitude and optimism, you set the stage for a day filled with joy and fulfillment. It's no longer about the outcomes or results of your circumstances. Remember, happiness is not dependent on external circumstances but rather on how we choose to perceive and respond to the world around us. Start your day happy! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Not many like a deadline. However, it can keep you from losing what you want to gain. You can make a deadline work for you, but it boils down to your excuses or goals. What is the priority? And what is that priority for you? That is what matters in the end. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Indeed, people find it easier to keep doing what they are doing because they know what to expect. It's when changes come into the picture that everything goes awry. All of a sudden, you are pushed and pulled in directions you have not experienced, leaving you with feelings that don't sit well. You are officially uncomfortable, and the retreat is even more appealing. That's where hating the calendar begins.  So instead of wondering aimlessly through life with your habits, you get to make a deadline work for you! The K.I.S.S. ~ Make a deadline work for you! Running away will not get you where you want to go. In fact, it will derail your dreams and hurt your heart. Deadlines often invoke feelings of stress and pressure, but they can also be powerful motivators when leveraged effectively. By shifting your perspective and approach, you can harness the potential of deadlines to propel you towards your goals and dreams.   Here are three strategies to make a deadline work for you: 1. Set Clear and Specific Goals: Before tackling a deadline, take the time to clearly define your goals and objectives. By breaking down your overarching goal into smaller, actionable steps, you can create a roadmap to success. Specificity is key here – the more precise your objectives, the easier it becomes to track your progress and stay on course. 2. Establish a Reward System: Rewarding yourself for meeting deadlines can provide an extra incentive to stay focused and motivated. Consider setting up a rewards system where you treat yourself to something enjoyable upon reaching certain milestones or completing tasks on time. This positive reinforcement not only boosts your morale but also cultivates a sense of achievement and progress. 3. Practice Effective Time Management: Efficient time management is essential for making deadlines work in your favor. Prioritize tasks based on their urgency and importance, allocate dedicated time slots for work, and eliminate distractions to enhance your productivity. Utilize tools such as calendars, to-do lists, and time-tracking apps to optimize your workflow and ensure that you meet your deadlines effectively. By implementing these strategies, you can transform deadlines from daunting obstacles into valuable opportunities that propel you forward.  "Be present. Be incredible.

When life feels like it's crumbling down around you, it pushes you to think about your faith. Does God really hear me? Does He see what I need? Does He really care? Certainly, as you wrestle with living in an imperfect world, you want to know that God's got you, somewhere, a sign of hope. With every corner you turn and every valley you fall into, there doesn't always seem to be that hope. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Your life might look a little messy with a health crisis, a troubling child, an unsettling relationship, a questionable career path, or an aging parent. As messy as the middle is, God is right there in the middle of it with you. The Bible (Daniel 6) tells the story of Daniel and the Lion's den, illustrating how unwavering faith can lead us through the most challenging of circumstances. God sent an angel and shut the mouths of the lions. Daniel was unharmed. But I guarantee you that in the circumstance, he was probably scared, nervous, yet faithful. Just as Daniel trusted in God's protection, we too can find strength in our faith during times of difficulty. God's presence is not always flashy or dramatic - He often reveals Himself in the small, everyday moments we may overlook. What is different now is that God shows up in the blinks of your day. I like to call them the God winks in life. He is not going to strike you with lightning, show up in the burning bush. But those nudges and tugs on your heart, the turning stomach with butterflies, or the thoughts you would not have thought-- yea, that's God. The K.I.S.S. ~ A sign of hope! When you spend time with Him and commune with Him, you are building your relationship. And that means, your faith is growing. "Walk by faith, not by sight." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:7 A sign of hope might be a stranger who said something to you, a neighbor who asked the right question, or your sweetheart who confirmed a thought in your head. The God winks in life are all around you. But you must believe in order to see. Walking by faith is not the tangible Moses moment with the burning bush. Yes, God is omnipresent. He is within you, God the Holy Spirit. So when your days seem darker than your nights, don't forget to look for a sign of hope. The blessings are around you. The direction you need to go is before you. But you've gotta look in order to see. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct your paths." ~ Proverbs 3:5-6 "Be present. Be incredible.

Imagine waking up every morning with the decision to serve your spouse, which elevates them, builds their gifts and talents, and recognizes what they bring to the world they touch, especially your world. Show me the heart! Marriages would look so different. Maybe your marriage would be better off, too. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Unfortunately, we get caught up in all the hustle and bustle of the day, and we forget about what matters. What if you were to make a decision to love your spouse in a manner you've never done before? Or, if you have, you are doing it with more intentionality? I want you to think about money for a moment. Money can make a difference in your every day. But so can love. That's why you gotta show me the heart! The K.I.S.S. ~ Show me the heart! Your spouse needs to know how much you love and care for them. Life is hard for both of you. You both are juggling careers and dreams, kids and finances, but you cannot forget about each other. It's easy to do. Been there, done that. And it really hurts a marriage. In fact, it can destroy a marriage. I don't want that for you. I want you and your spouse to grow a strong foundation that will withstand the test of time and any storm you face together. However, it must come from the heart; the place where only the two of you connect. That's where the magic happens. Yet, at the same time, we are human, and human beings have human needs.  If you want to genuinely "show me the heart," you must think about a few of these. This is what it looks like in real life. 1. Express Gratitude: Take the time to express gratitude for your spouse's presence in your life. Acknowledge their efforts, both big and small, and let them know how much you appreciate them. Gratitude can strengthen your connection and create a positive environment in your relationship. 2. Support Their Goals: Show your support for your partner's dreams and aspirations. Encourage them to pursue their passions and be their biggest cheerleader along the way. By standing by their side and helping them achieve their goals, you are showing that you believe in their potential and value their growth. 3. Actively Listen: Practice active listening when your spouse needs to talk or share their thoughts and feelings. Give them your full attention, be empathetic, and show that you truly care about what they have to say. By being present and engaged in conversations, you can strengthen your emotional connection and foster a deeper understanding of each other. BONUS: Do the Assumable! And what I mean by that is you've got to read your spouse's mind! You must be intentional on a daily basis. This takes work. You gotta pay attention to the silent whispers and looks you get. Yes, you can clarify everything. But if you are paying attention, you will know your spouse's patterns and be able to serve them the way their heart wants it. And that's their way! "There are no assumptions in marriage; love leaves clues!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Be attentive and intentional to the patterns and desires of your spouse. Incorporating these acts of service into your daily interactions can transform your relationship and bring you closer to your spouse. Show Me the Heart! That's what your spouse wants to see, hear, and feel as you choose to love unconditionally every day! "Be present. Be incredible.

Being a parent requires us to perform many tasks under an undefined immense amount of stress. It's no wonder parents walk around with the deer-in-the-headlights look. At some point, we have to let go of trying everything and join the front lines. Our kiddos need us more than they tell us. And it's not just to feed them and tuck them in at night.  Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Whether they tell you or not, your child wants you around and they need you.  What they don't need is nagging and being that parent that won't listen or care about how they feel. But if you take into consideration their feelings, they might want you around more than they admit it. This is all about be presenting in your child's life. Don't make assumptions that your child is going to give you a written invitation when they want you to show. It's when you show up, that they notice how much they wanted you there. "If we rely on our kiddos to express everything they want, they will miss what they need." ~ Kristianne Wargo That's where incredible parents like you come in. You get to show up and fill up your child's life with hope, love, and resilience. Life is not easy when you're growing up. So, be there for your child. The K.I.S.S. ~ Be there for your child! Rise up to the occasion on a daily basis and be there for your child! You got your invitation to be there for them when you said yes to having them, whether it be by adoption, natural birth, fostering, or mentoring. Be there or be square. Because the best thing is being well-rounded as a parent! You don't want to be that square. 1. Practice Kindness and Compassion: Parenting can be challenging, and it's crucial for parents to practice compassion and kindness toward each other and yourself. Acknowledge that it's okay to make mistakes, seek help when needed, and show self-awareness that caring matters. When you are kind, you are expressing emotional well-being and showing what needs to happen when you are compassionate for others. There's always room in your heart for more. Be that patient, present parent.  2. Celebrate Imperfection: Embrace the imperfect moments in parenting as opportunities for growth and learning. Acknowledge that mistakes and setbacks are part of the journey and focus on progress and effort rather than perfection. By modeling resilience and acceptance of imperfection, you teach your children valuable life lessons. 3. Prioritize Play and Fun: Ensure that playfulness and fun are integral parts of your parent-child interactions. Engage in playful activities, games, and creative projects that foster joy, laughter, and shared experiences. Play promotes bonding, creativity, and stress relief for both parents and children. By incorporating these practices into your parenting approach, you can actively join the front lines and become the guiding force your child needs. Remember, your presence, encouragement, and empathy can make a lasting impact on their well-being and overall happiness. Join the front lines today and empower your child to thrive in every aspect of their life. "Be present. Be incredible.

No matter what's happening, you find what you are looking for. So, what are you in search of today? Where do you want to travel in your day to light up your way? You are made for more. Ahhhh...Perspective! What is worth finding is worth fighting for. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com You have to be willing to do what seems impossible. You have to be willing to go for what doesn’t come easy. Easy is the road everyone travels. You’re not everyone. So you must pick up your heart, dust off what hurts and then make a statement by taking action. Ahh…perspective. The K.I.S.S. ~ Ahhhh...perspective! As we set our sights on our dreams and aspirations, it's important to remember that the road to success is rarely linear. It's paved with obstacles, setbacks, and moments of uncertainty. But it's in these moments that our true strength and resilience shine through. Embracing challenges not as roadblocks, but as stepping stones to growth, can transform the way we approach life. Each hurdle becomes an opportunity to learn, evolve, and ultimately, become the best version of ourselves. Taking action is essential in turning our visions into reality. It's the daily choices, the small steps taken towards our goals, that ultimately lead to significant progress. By showing up consistently and doing the work, we inch closer to our dreams with each new day. And let's not forget the power of perspective in inspiring others. By embodying a positive mindset and demonstrating what's possible through our actions, we have the ability to uplift those around us and ignite a ripple effect of positivity and empowerment. So, as you embark on your journey towards a life of purpose and fulfillment, remember the magic of perspective. Choose to see the beauty amidst the chaos, the opportunity in every challenge, and the growth that comes from embracing a mindset of possibility. Your reality is a reflection of your perspective. So, take a deep breath, embrace the journey ahead with open arms, and remember: Ahhhh...perspective. "Be present. Be incredible.

Healthy living does not come easily. It takes much effort and minimal failures for you to feel good. But the mirror can be harsh, the looks can be hurtful. You're not fat, your thoughts are. Who would have ever thought this is how you love your reflection? Who would ever talk to themselves like this while they're teaching their kids about kindness? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Kindness would be great to adopt in healthy living, especially because your thoughts can be so destructive. In reality, we belittle ourselves with one brief mention, which is imprinted in our minds forever. It's no wonder change is hard.   But just because it's hard does not make it impossible. What must happen is your thoughts need to become words that echo loudly in your head and re-imprint what matters NOW! Create your now! The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! Speak the kind words loudly, repeating them often, blanketing your mind in that kindness, even when the harsh truth is shared. Kindness softens the sharp corners and opens the heart to accept the idea of the changes that need to be made. Once the heart and head connect, you're ready to press forward with more pizazz.  That's where you get the giddy-up and go! 1. Know the Language You're Using It's challenging when you want to make changes, but you don't know what you're changing. Think of it as painting your room. If you want a new paint color on the wall, you must know how you want to feel and what you want to experience in the space. Then, you can choose the color and make the change.  Changing the color is like changing your words and what you tell yourself over and over again. Take the words you use and restructure your vocabulary so you hear words of kindness with sprinkles of unconditional love in a manner that adds hope to your change and does not deplete you. Most of the time, our minds are repeating what we've heard told directly to us and what we continue to agree with those words shared with us. Stop the madness and change your language. 2. Eliminate the Words that Fatten Your Failures Why keep playing old records that make a bigger deal of your failures than your successes? If you are living, you are going to fail. In fact, you'll fail more than you succeed. So get a little skinny, not on your failures, but on your successes. Inflate in your mind that you CAN make changes by making choices that serve your challenges more by deciding to make the change. 3. Take A.I.M. on the One Thing Trying to do too much will only slow you down. If you put too much food into your mouth, you will have difficulty chewing and swallowing, causing you to choke. That's what we do when we're biting off more than we can chew. Focus on the ONE thing that needs immediate attention and give it the attention it deserves. No one wants to be chewed out on everything they do wrong at one time. So take it bit by bit, or should we say, bite by bite, and do what matters for this week. Once you have secured the action and it keeps you motivated to keep trackin', then you can move on to the next ONE thing. Healthy living is not always about the food you put in your mouth or how much your exercise. A lot of what needs to happen is what's happening in your head, and how it connects to your heart. You are not fat, and now your thoughts will not be either. "Be present. Be incredible.

How are you writing your story every day? Does it lead you down the Hope Road and Persistent Alley? Or are you stuck in traffic on Control Highway? Bob Goff once said, "Embrace uncertainty. Some of the most beautiful chapters in our lives won't have a title until much later." Do you find yourself pondering the path your life is taking? Does the uncertainty of the future lead you down the road of possibilities and opportunities, or are you stuck in the frustrating traffic jam of control and predictability? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Embracing uncertainty does not equate to being lost or lacking direction. It signifies a season of growth where unanswered questions pave the way for unexpected discoveries and newfound purpose. Just because you don't know where you're headed does not mean you are less than, not enough, confused, or stuck. It might be a season where unanswered questions lead to more direction. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace uncertainty! Don't get wrapped up in what you think you should know or what you believe others want you to do. Living a life on purpose requires you to take a chance on life and make changes in the meantime. This is the in-between, the middle, or that gap. You are not going to know everything. But yet, even without knowing, you still know. In a world that often dictates the need for clear-cut plans and defined pathways, it can be liberating to relinquish the need for certainty and embrace the unknown. Life's most profound lessons are often learned in the midst of ambiguity. Embrace uncertainty.   Release yourself from the shackles of perceived expectations and obligations. Your heart beats when you dare to step into unpredictability and chart a course uniquely your own. You may not have all the answers, and that's perfectly acceptable. There is beauty in the unfolding of life's mysteries, in the unwritten chapters that reveal themselves one page at a time. Embrace uncertainty.   Trust who you are and who you are becoming. Let God whisper in your heart and guide you towards unexplored territories. It is within this uncertainty that growth flourishes, and dreams take root. So, as you navigate the twists and turns, the ups and downs, and the all-arounds of your journey, remember to embrace uncertainty. For on the empty pages with little to no words, lies the beauty of the next chapter, with life's most extraordinary possibilities penned on your heart. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Words have power and influence our daily actions. What we tell ourselves and others becomes sticky in our brains. No wonder you have more problems than you do hope, because of how words shape your world. In our everyday lives, our words play a crucial role in shaping our reality. From how we talk to ourselves to how we communicate with others, language can influence our thoughts, actions, and surroundings. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the Kairos FREE Online Community. https://createyournow.com Let's delve into the profound impact of words on our lives and explore how we can harness this power for positive change. Change your words, change your life! **How Words Shape Your Environment** Our choice of words can create a narrative that informs how we perceive the world around us. Research in neuroscience has shown that the language we use can directly impact our brain's processing, influencing our emotions and behavior. How you feel dictates how you act. By cultivating a vocabulary that is empowering and positive, we can construct a more optimistic and authentic reality for ourselves. **Establishing Credibility Through Language** The words we use not only shape our external environment but also establish credibility and self-perception within ourselves. Studies have indicated that positive self-talk can boost self-esteem and performance, while negative self-talk can hinder progress and create self-doubt. By consciously choosing words that inspire confidence and belief in our abilities, we can enhance our sense of self-worth and accomplishments. **Overcoming Negative Vocabulary** Many individuals struggle with negative self-talk, perpetuating a cycle of self-limiting beliefs and behaviors. By becoming aware of our internal dialogue and challenging negative thoughts, we can begin to reframe our words and beliefs in a more constructive light. This process of cognitive restructuring allows us to replace harmful language patterns with affirming and empowering vocabulary. A good friend of mine, named Marianne Renner, wrote a book called Self-Talk. One that you should pick up. She also shares the SEAR Framework: Story + Emotion + Action + Result. If we slow down enough and really pay attention to what we are saying, maybe we will hear how horribly we treat ourselves with our words. And if you are in that position, maybe you need to take a look and rewire your vocabulary. The K.I.S.S. ~ Rewire your brain! This is where you give yourself different words to use on a daily basis. Now, you might be good with the majority of your words, but there could be a few words or phrases that need to be overhauled.  Three Steps to Wordsmithing Your Life 1. Mindful Awareness: Start by paying attention to the words you use regularly, both in your interactions with others and in your internal dialogue. Notice any recurring negative or self-defeating phrases and make a conscious effort to replace them with more positive and encouraging language. 2. Affirmation Practice: Incorporate daily affirmations into your routine to rewire your brain for positivity and success. Choose affirming statements that align with your goals and values, and repeat them regularly to reinforce a mindset of confidence and resilience. 3. Build With Kindness: Words create the framework of the actions that follow. If you can be honest with kindness, that helps to handle stuff that's hurtful, whether you thought it or someone else said it. It's no longer about what is being said, but rather about what is being heard in your mind that constructs your emotional and behavioral reaction. You want to be kind in your mind; build with kindness. By transforming our vocabulary and aligning our language with our aspirations, we can harness the transformative power of words to shape a more purpose-driven and fulfilling life. Start today by becoming intentional with the language you use and witness the profound impact it can have on your mindset and environment. "Be present. Be incredible.
