Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Marriage is a journey that starts with a promise and leads to a road to somewhere profound—Somewhere where the love is unconditional, where the heart is heard, where the person is seen. Somewhere where failure is appreciated, where challenges are expected, where success is celebrated, and where two believe in one another. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Often, it's the sparkles of excitement and joy from the beginning of marriage. But after the honeymoon wears off, the reality of work sets in--the true commitment. Marriage is a road to somewhere where you can behold each other and learn to elevate one another. But it doesn't come easy. In fact, it comes at a cost. One has to give a little more at times, and the other must be open to receiving when not always wanting. It's a path that demands effort, understanding, and patience. The give 'n take, back 'n forth, and all arounds can leave you feeling dizzy, disillusioned, and desperate. However, you don't have to live in a world that scorns you for every failure in life; forgiveness does exist. Yet are you ready to extend it to your spouse? If you want to build your marriage on a strong foundation, your cracks have to be filled with forgiveness. The K.I.S.S. ~ Fill the cracks with forgiveness! When you look at your foundation and see a crack, you have to fix it with concrete, something hard to hold it together, so it will stop spreading. "Forgiveness is just that—the glue that repairs the failures of human actions that usually aren't intended to hurt, but still aims directly at the heart." ~ Kristianne Wargo So how can you fill the cracks with forgiveness? 1. LISTEN UNCONDITIONALLY—Honest and open communication is key to resolving conflicts and fostering forgiveness. Take the time to listen to your partner's perspective and share your own feelings constructively. "Talking should not be a war! Remember, communication is not just about speaking, but also about truly understanding each other's hearts." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY—Put yourself in your partner's shoes and try to see things from their point of view. When you love unconditionally, you don't set pre-assumed expectations. Let empathy be the heartbeat of your love, allowing you to connect on a deeper level, fostering compassion and forgiveness. Being able to understand and relate to each other's emotions can strengthen the bond between partners. 3. LET GO UNCONDITIONALLY—Holding onto past resentments can hinder the path to forgiveness. Learn to release grudges and move forward with a clean slate. It's your presence that matters. If you carry around all your sweetheart's trash every day, you will miss the blessing right in front of you, because all you see is the past. Focus on the present moment and the future you want to build together rather than dwelling on past mistakes. Today, I challenge you to embrace forgiveness as a gift you give, not only to your partner, but also to yourself. Forgiveness will expand your love and lead you on a road to somewhere. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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