Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Being a mom is a full-time job. Balancing the demands of raising children, managing the chaos of daily life, and juggling activities can be challenging. How do you parent like a Super Bowl MVP? Imagine, for a moment, raising up a son like Brock Purdy or Patrick Mahomes. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes, two talented quarterbacks with their own unique styles, would undoubtedly have valuable life lessons to impart to their children because of their moms. In anticipation of an incredible Super Bowl, why not look at our own families? Let's make this fun. Because as you know, parenting is not for the faint at heart. The K.I.S.S. ~ Are you ready for some football?!? Drawing from their football experiences, here are some lessons they might teach with corresponding football analogies: 1. Never be afraid to take a risk and go for it. Sometimes, the greatest rewards come from stepping out of your comfort zone and making that bold pass downfield. Just like in football, taking calculated risks and embracing challenges can lead to extraordinary opportunities. 2. Always work hard and give your best effort. And this is both on and off the field. Football teaches us the importance of dedication, practice, and perseverance. The same principles apply to life. By putting in the time and effort to improve yourself and pursue your goals, you set yourself up for success. Why not do that for the family, for the kiddos? 3. Embrace teamwork and value collaboration. Football is a team sport, and success is built on trust and effective communication. Teach your children the importance of being a team player, supporting others, and working together towards common goals. Just like a well-executed football play, when everyone works in harmony, remarkable things can happen. 4. Face adversity with resilience and a positive mindset. In football, there will be games where everything seems to go wrong, but a great quarterback rises above the challenges and uses them as fuel for a comeback. Similarly, in life, setbacks and obstacles are inevitable. Teach your children to stay resilient, learn from failures, and maintain a positive attitude. It's not about avoiding adversity, but rather how they respond to it that matters. 5. Adapt and contribute from the sidelines. In football, injuries or circumstances may prevent a player from being on the field. However, that doesn't mean their role becomes insignificant. Teach your children that when they can't actively participate, there are still ways to contribute and make a positive impact. They can support and encourage their teammates, provide insights from their unique perspective, and offer assistance from the sidelines. Just like a skilled backup quarterback, their presence and guidance can be invaluable to the team. 6. Lead by example and inspire others. As quarterbacks, Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes are responsible for leading their teams on and off the field. They demonstrate the power of strong leadership through their actions, decision-making, and motivation. Encourage your children to be leaders in their lives, inspiring others through character, integrity, and empathy. 7. Enjoy the journey and celebrate victories, big or small. Football seasons are filled with ups and downs, victories and defeats. Teach your children to savor the journey, to appreciate the effort they put in, and to find joy in the process, regardless of the outcome. Just like in football, the moments of triumph and shared experiences with teammates and loved ones make the journey worthwhile. By instilling these values and lessons and using football analogies to reinforce their teachings, Brock Purdy and Patrick Mahomes would guide their children toward becoming resilient, teamwork-oriented, and goal-driven individuals who embrace challenges and pursue their dreams with passion.

There is a certain allure to the idea of perfection. Society hails it as the ultimate goal, the pinnacle of success. But what if perfection was not the endgame? Empower yourself - practice progress! In a world that often measures success by the destination reached, it is easy to become fixated on achieving flawless results. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co We strive for flawless performance at work, the perfect body, and faultless relationships. However, in our pursuit of perfection, we inadvertently stifle our growth and limit our potential. We set ourselves up to be stuck before we're even stuck! Perfectionism often creates an unyielding cycle of self-criticism and fear of failure. The constant drive for flawlessness can be paralyzing, preventing us from taking risks, making decisions, and embracing new experiences. But there is another way - the path of progress. The K.I.S.S. ~ Practice progress! Progress is the process of continuous growth, improvement, and evolution. It is about celebrating the small wins, the steps forward, and the lessons learned along the way. In the words of Kristianne Wargo, "Practice progress means embracing imperfection with open arms and finding joy in the journey rather than fixating on the destination." Embracing progress means accepting that growth is a gradual process. It means acknowledging that every misstep, setback, or failure is an opportunity for a comeback; learning and growth. Rather than viewing mistakes as a sign of defeat, reframe them as stepping stones, propelling you forward on your chosen path. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Practice progress involves taking intentional action every day. It means making decisions that align with your values and move you closer to where you want to be. It's about setting achievable goals and consistently taking small steps toward them. When you practice progress, comparison loses its power. The focus shifts from what others have achieved to one's own personal growth. What you're doing! With progress as the guiding light, you become inspired by your own journey, celebrating the unique milestones you reach along the way. As you embark on this path, it is essential to cultivate self-compassion. Learn to be kind to yourself, and embrace your flaws and imperfections as vital parts of who you are. By extending grace to yourself, you can find the courage to keep going even when the road ahead seems challenging. Remember, practice progress is not about discounting the significance of a goal. It is about embracing the journey and understanding that each step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to your dreams. Free yourself from the shackles of perfectionism and embrace the transformative power of progress. By shifting your focus to the joys and lessons found along the way, you unlock your true potential to create your now. "Be present. Be incredible.

In the quest for healthy living, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by the idea of following the perfect plan, workout, or the perfect timing. But what if you shifted your perspective? Live well today! Each decision you make, each step you take, can contribute to a healthier, more fulfilling life. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co What are you doing for today for your health? The K.I.S.S. ~ Live well today! 1. Nurture with Nutrients Mindful Eating: Nurture Your Body with Nutrient-Rich Choices The way we fuel our bodies has a profound impact on our overall well-being. Being mindful of the foods we consume enables us to make healthier choices that support our weight loss goals. Instead of indulging in processed snacks or fast food, choose nutrient-rich alternatives like fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Take the time to savor each bite, appreciating the flavors and nourishing your body. Plan your meals ahead, pack healthy snacks, and stay hydrated throughout the day. Remember, small, consistent steps lead to lasting change. "Nourishing your body with nutrient-rich foods is like giving yourself a daily gift of self-love and vitality." - Kristianne Wargo 2. Jump for Joy Active Lifestyle: Find Joy in Movement Exercise is not solely limited to the confines of a gym. Embrace an active lifestyle by finding joy in movement. Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine, whether it's a brisk walk during your lunch break, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or engaging in activities you love, such as dancing, hiking, or playing a sport. By making movement a central part of your day, you'll not only burn calories but also elevate your mood, boost energy levels, and improve overall well-being. 3. Care for a Cause Self-Care: Prioritize Mental and Emotional Health Living well today goes beyond physical aspects; it also encompasses mental and emotional well-being. Prioritize self-care by setting aside time for relaxation, stress reduction, and meaningful connections. Practice mindfulness techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, to calm the mind and reduce stress. Engage in activities that bring you joy, whether it's reading a book, listening to music, or spending quality time with loved ones. Remember, a healthy mind contributes to a healthy body. It's time to shift our focus from pursuing perfection and instead embrace the concept of living well today. By making mindful choices in our eating habits, finding joy in movement, and prioritizing our mental and emotional health, we can pave the way for a healthier lifestyle. Remember, it's the small decisions we make each day that add up to significant long-term changes. So, live well today, and let it be the foundation for a more vibrant, fulfilling life. "Living well today doesn't require perfection but presence, simply asking for awareness, intention, and the commitment to nurture your mind, body, and spirit in every moment." - Kristianne Wargo "Be present.

In a world filled with distractions and disappointments, it's all too easy to feel the flicker of our passions dimming. But you have dreams and desires. So stoke the embers of your passion and fan the flame! Life is a journey of ups and downs, and it is during the challenging moments that we truly test our determination and commitment. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co When obstacles arise, it's natural to question our path and contemplate giving up. However, it is precisely during these times that we must fan the flame of our dreams and keep pushing forward. Where are you today in your dream? Is it still a dream? Is it on the back burner? Is there barely a spark? But as you know, with a dream, you have to be persistent. Persistence is the backbone of success. It's the unwavering belief in your dreams and the commitment to overcome obstacles that propel you toward your goals. When faced with setbacks or disappointments, remind yourself of the reasons why you started on this path. Reignite the fire within you by reconnecting with your passion and reminding yourself of the profound impact your dreams can have on your life and the lives of others, the world you touch. Remember that progress often occurs in small, incremental steps. It's easy to become overwhelmed when looking at the big picture and feeling like you're not making significant strides. But progress is progress, no matter how small. Celebrate each milestone, no matter how minor, and use it as fuel to keep moving forward. Every step brings you closer to your dream, and each experience, whether positive or negative, contributes to your growth and resilience. The K.I.S.S. ~ Fan the flame! Surround yourself with a support network of individuals who believe in your dreams and encourage you to persevere. Seek out mentors or like-minded individuals who have crossed similar paths and can offer guidance and inspiration. Connect with those who have overcome challenges and achieved success, as their stories can serve as reminders that no dream is too big and no hurdle is insurmountable. Embrace the setbacks and failures as opportunities for growth, rather than reasons to abandon your dreams. It's often in adversity that we discover our true strengths and resilience. Learn from your mistakes, adapt your strategies, and keep moving forward with a newfound wisdom and determination. Nourish your creativity and find inspiration in unexpected places. Explore new avenues and seek out experiences that spark your imagination. Surround yourself with art, music, literature, and nature. Allow the beauty and wonder of the world to ignite your passion and rejuvenate your spirit. Above all, take care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. It's easy to neglect self-care when chasing after our dreams, but remember that maintaining your well-being is crucial for long-term success. Prioritize self-care activities that recharge your energy, reduce stress, and foster a positive mindset. When you are at your best, you can face challenges head-on and keep the flame of your dreams burning brightly. In the pursuit of your dreams, it's essential to remember that the journey is not always easy, but it's the challenges that make the destination even more rewarding. Stay persistent, stay focused, and keep fanning the flame within you. Embrace the inevitable ups and downs, for they are part of your unique story. With unwavering belief, determination, and persistence, you can overcome any obstacle and achieve the extraordinary. So, keep going, keep learning, and keep moving closer to your dream. You got this! And God's got you!!! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Often, the desire to fulfill our dreams and achieve our goals becomes tangled in the web of uncertainty and doubt. Do you drop your dreams, or do you take the plunge toward your dreams? A lot of the time, we hide how we really feel in our everyday lives by pretending to be someone we're not. We hide in shame, embarrassed by the lack of accomplishments or accolades. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co At some point, we think sharing our stories will make everything better, but embracing vulnerability is harder to do than to say. So in order to maintain the facade of perfection, we get stuck (or claim to be), because it's easier not to do than to do. Now some would eventually suggest that the mindset is key to moving forward. But how can you move forward when you're only looking backward? Something that might have been a comeback, continues to be a setback. When will this nightmare end? At what point can you take the plunge toward your dreams? The K.I.S.S. ~ Get G.U.T.S.Y.! Most of the time, we want to know what the results will be before we even try. There is no guarantee in life. But doesn't that make your dreams and goals more worthwhile? "You don't need to know where everything's going before you get there." ~ Kristianne Wargo Get G.U.T.S.Y.! G – Get Started Taking the first step is crucial. Often, fear and overthinking can hold us back from pursuing our dreams. It takes guts to overcome those barriers and get started. Start with a small action or task that will set you on the path towards your goal. Breaking the inertia and initiating momentum is key to progress. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo U – Unwavering Belief Believe in yourself and your dreams wholeheartedly. Cultivate unshakable self-confidence and a firm belief that you can achieve what you set out to do. Even in the face of challenges and setbacks, it takes guts to stay committed and unwavering in your belief. Trust in your abilities and keep faith in your vision. Believe in who you are becoming! T – Take Risks Taking calculated risks is essential for growth and success. It takes guts to step outside of your comfort zone and embrace uncertainty. Be willing to explore uncharted territories, try new approaches, and seize opportunities that come your way. Embrace challenges as chances to learn and grow, knowing that calculated risks often lead to extraordinary achievements. S – Stay Persistent Persistence is the key to overcoming obstacles and achieving long-term goals. It takes guts to keep going when faced with setbacks, rejections, or slow progress. Stay committed to your dreams and put in consistent effort. Develop resilience, learn from failures, and keep pushing forward with determination and endurance, even in the face of adversity. Y – Yield to Growth A "Gutsy" individual recognizes the importance of continuous personal and professional growth. Yielding to growth requires embracing a mindset of learning, open-mindedness, and adaptability. It takes guts to acknowledge areas for improvement, seek feedback, and actively pursue opportunities for personal growth and development. By being open to learning and embracing new challenges, you can achieve remarkable growth that propels you towards your goals and dreams. Harness the courage to step out of your comfort zone, challenge your limits, and unlock your full potential. "Within you lies the power to transform your dreams into reality. The possibilities are endless when you have the courage to take that first step. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, your journey doesn't require you to have all the answers or know exactly where you're heading. It only demands that you take that leap of faith, trust in yourself, and embrace the beauty of the unknown. Life is a magnificent adventure waiting to unfold. Instead of allowing uncertainty to hinder your dreams and goals, remember that you don't need to know everything before you get there. Embrace vulnerability, embody a growth mindset, and cultivate a sense of adventure. Take the plunge, and you'll discover that the journey itself is where the magic lies. As Kristianne Wargo beautifully puts it, "Embrace the unknown, for it is within the unknown that extraordinary dreams come to life." "Be present. Be incredible.

37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them." (John 7:37-38) These words from Jesus resonate deeply with anyone who longs to be seen and heard by God, who desires to be filled and overflowing with His love and presence. In a world where it is easy to feel overlooked and insignificant, these verses offer a promise of connection and purpose. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The heart of God is not solely concerned with our eternal destination, but with the entirety of who we are. He longs for us to experience His love, to be whole and fulfilled in every area of life. We were designed to live loved, to receive and overflow with the abundant love that God offers. Imagine a wellspring deep within us, a reservoir filled with living water. This living water is the Holy Spirit, the fullness of God's presence dwelling within us. It is meant to flow freely, nourishing and refreshing not only ourselves but also those around us. We were created to be vessels of blessing, conduits of God's love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (the fruits of the spirit). Yet, too often, our wells run dry. We try to serve out of an empty cup. The busyness and pressures of life drain us, leaving us parched and thirsty. We find ourselves seeking validation and significance in the wrong places, desperate to be seen and heard by others. But Jesus invites us to come to Him, the true source of living water, the only one who can satisfy our deepest longings. The K.I.S.S. ~ Rivers of living water! In the presence of God, we find true fulfillment and purpose. It is here that the empty places within us are filled, and the overflow begins. As we drink deeply from the well of God's love, we are empowered to live the life He has created us for. We step into the good works that He has prepared in advance for us, becoming vessels of blessing and transformation in the world. Live. Love. Impact! So, how do we access this abundant life? It starts with a simple prayer, a surrender of our hearts and desires to God. Ask Him to fill you up overflowing with His love and living water. Invite Him to guide you, to shape your thoughts and actions, so that you may walk in alignment with His plans and purposes here on earth and in Heaven. As you journey through life, may you continually seek to be filled by God. May you drink deeply from the well of His love, allowing it to replenish and restore you. And may you become a vessel of blessing, overflowing with His presence and impacting the world in which you touch. As you reflect on the words of John 7:37-38, let's remember that God cares about every aspect of your life. He longs to fill you with His love and living water, empowering you to live the life He has designed for you. Embrace this invitation to be seen and heard by God, to be a vessel of His love and grace in the world. "Rivers of living water will flow from his heart." - John 7:38 (NLT) "Be present.

In marriage, many people prefer to see what they want to see, seeking validation rather than facing the truth. After all, no one wants to be wrong. So in your marriage, do you want to know the truth? It's much easier to ignore the underlying issues and put a bandaid on the situation. But does this truly elevate your marriage, or is it just a temporary fix? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co You have got to step out of this comfort zone and challenge yourself to seek the truth. "If you want to know the truth, turn off the sound!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Marriage is a two-way street, requiring effort and commitment from both partners. It takes two to tango. Acknowledging this responsibility is crucial for creating a strong foundation. However, even if both partners carry this responsibility, it only takes one to initiate change. So today, let's examine where you currently stand and where you want your marriage to go. If you want to know the truth, turn off the sound! The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn off the sound! Turning off the sound is a metaphorical way of emphasizing that actions speak louder than words, and so do your spouse's actions. 1. Pay attention to what isn't being said. It invites you to pay attention to the unspoken cues and signals within your relationship. Often, these subtle signs can reveal more about the true state of your marriage than any spoken words. By observing what isn't being said, you can begin to unravel the underlying truths that may have been overshadowed by daily routines and busyness. 2. Follow the clues where they lead. Following these clues can provide valuable insights into the challenges your marriage faces. You might uncover something you never noticed because you were in tuned with the words, not the actions. As you follow the clues without any pre-judgment, you can see what is really happening, for better or worse. 3. Face the truth in love and grace. It requires a willingness to face the truth head-on rather than avoiding uncomfortable conversations or sweeping problems under the rug. Addressing these issues with love and grace is essential for nurturing your relationship's growth and prosperity. Ultimately, you want to elevate your spouse. But if your actions say otherwise, then you need to face the fact of how you are loving well, or the lack thereof. Ultimately, seeking the truth in your marriage allows you to gauge the emotional temperature of your connection rather than reacting to fleeting moments. This is a way you can see the barometer of the day, not the temperature in the moment. It encourages you to dig deeper and uncover the root causes of any discontent or disconnect. Once you understand these underlying truths, you can develop strategies and work together to overcome any obstacles that may be hindering your marital bliss. Who doesn't want to be happy and feel engaged in their marriage with a partner who loves and cares deeply? "If you want to know the truth, turn off the sound!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Take a moment to eliminate distractions and truly see your marriage for what it is. Embrace the opportunity to communicate honestly, listen attentively, and work together towards a happier, more fulfilling partnership. And when you see gaps in your marriage, ask yourself, "What would a caring and loving wife do?" In the journey towards a thriving marriage, facing the truth is not always easy. It requires courage and vulnerability. But remember, acknowledging and addressing the truth with openness and love can pave the way for a deeper connection and contentment that will lead to a more fulfilling marriage. So, are you ready to turn off the sound and discover the truth in your marriage? "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

In the journey of parenting, it is natural for parents to want to be involved in every aspect of their child's life. Yet, it's essential for parents to strike a balance between being present and giving the necessary space. Love from afar. As you know, the love and bond between a parent and child are unparalleled. There is nothing like the relationship between mom and son, mom and daughter. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But if we're not careful, there comes a point where this love can inadvertently become suffocating, hindering the growth and maturation of our children. I don't know about you, but I want my children to be strong and independent. I want them to be able to impact the world they touch with their gifts and talents. My responsibility is to give them the launching pad so they can live a life well-lived. When you think about it, we only have 18-20 years on average that our children need us, give or take. And then, they have their whole life ahead of them. What are some practical ways we as parents can love from afar, fostering healthy growth and maturity in their children at different stages of life? The K.I.S.S. ~ Love from afar! Obviously, the age of the child determines how you lead them well so they can live well. So, I want to break down some of the stages of life. Of course, some of this can be duplicated with some tweaks. Elementary Age: 1. Encourage Independence through Responsibility: For parents of elementary-age children, it is important to instill a sense of responsibility. Allow them to complete age-appropriate tasks independently, such as packing their school bag or making their bed. This not only teaches them essential life skills but also boosts their confidence and gives them a sense of accomplishment. 2. Support Social Interactions: Encourage your child to participate in extracurricular activities and social events. This will provide them with opportunities to interact with their peers, develop social skills, and learn how to navigate different social dynamics. As a parent, support their involvement while giving them the necessary space to explore and make their own choices. Middle School: 1. Foster Open Communication: During the middle school years, children may begin to assert their independence and seek more privacy. It becomes crucial for parents to create a safe and open environment for communication. Initiate conversations about their daily life, school, and hobbies, but also respect their need for personal space. Let them know your door is always open should they need guidance or support. 2. Encourage Self-Reflection: Middle schoolers are at an age where figuring out their identity and values becomes more significant. Encourage them to engage in self-reflection and explore their interests and passions. Provide resources and support, but allow them the freedom to shape their own opinions and make decisions. Guide them, don't dictate to them. High School: 1. Empower Decision-Making: High school is a critical transitional period in a teenager's life. Parents can love from afar by empowering their children to make their own decisions. Encourage them to take ownership of their academic choices, extracurricular activities, and personal goals. This autonomy will inspire self-confidence and foster growth. 2. Support Goal-setting and Planning: Help your high schooler set realistic goals and create a plan to achieve them. Instead of dictating their path, guide them in mapping out steps to reach their aspirations. This will promote self-discipline, time management skills, and a sense of responsibility. College and Grown Adults: 1. Maintain a Supportive Presence: During their college years and beyond, it is important for parents to be a supportive presence. Be available for guidance, lend an empathetic ear, and offer advice when sought. However, acknowledge that they are now adults, capable of making their own decisions and learning from their experiences. 2. Respect Boundaries: As your child ventures into adulthood, it is necessary to respect their boundaries. While you may still be their trusted source of wisdom, avoid imposing your opinions or decisions on them. Allow them the freedom to carve their own path, even if it differs from your expectations. In the words of Kristianne Wargo, "Love from afar is about creating a nurturing environment where your child experiences the freedom to grow, while also knowing they have a loving support system if needed." Remember, loving from afar does not mean relinquishing parental love or guidance. It means finding the right balance of being present and allowing your children the necessary space to become independent individuals. By practicing these techniques in various stages of their lives, you can foster healthy growth and maturity, ultimately shaping them into well-rounded adults. "Be present. Be incredible.

In the pursuit of going further and making an impact on the world you touch, the mantra to embrace is simple yet powerful: dare to ask! This phrase holds the key to unlocking your true potential, becoming a game changer, and igniting a transformation that goes beyond imagination. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co When it comes to turning your dreams into reality, superficial thoughts like "Can I afford it?" or "Can I really make this work?" won't suffice. Shallow thinking doesn't fuel the fire needed to make a meaningful impact in your life and the lives of others. You have got to see the bigger picture. True success, the kind that requires stepping out of your comfort zone and diving into unchartered territories, demands effort and perseverance. It's not just about dreaming; it's about putting in the hard work and accepting the challenges that come with it. And believe me, it's worth it. Sure, life would be easier if you could avoid the hard work and take the easy road. But ask yourself, where do most people end up when they settle for mediocrity? "The road less traveled is the path to greatness and who you are becoming; a woman of impact!" ~ Kristianne Wargo "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Dare to ask! Muhammad Ali once said, "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." Let those words sink in. Nothing is impossible if you're willing to ask the tough questions, challenge yourself, and push beyond your limits. Embrace your inner power and dare to ask...am I possible? You were created for more. Your dreams are not just whimsical notions; they are gifts sparked by God's love for you. So, keep it simple, ask the questions you've been ignoring. Is what I want worth fighting for? Why do I want this in the bigger picture? How will it impact me, my family, my community? What or who am I running from? How is fear controlling my actions? What or who is stopping me? What do I need to do to move forward? What's my next step? But don't stop there. Dare to ask God for guidance, for His mighty power at work within you can bring about accomplishments beyond your wildest dreams. Remember the words from Ephesians 3:20, "Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we ask or think." It is time to unleash your potential, embrace the challenges, and dare to ask! With determination and faith, you will find that the impossible becomes possible, and your journey toward greatness begins with one step if you dare to ask. "Be present. Be incredible.

Have you ever stopped to consider the impact of the words you use, even when it comes to healthy living? The way you speak to yourself can have a profound effect on your thoughts and actions. Banish unwholesome words. Too often, we allow negative and unwholesome words to creep into our vocabulary, undermining our dreams and goals, especially with healthy living. It's time to take control, banish those unwholesome words, and empower yourself toward a healthier and more positive mindset. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But in order to get there, you need to know where you are starting from. What is your W-GPS (word global positioning system)? Are you one who tears yourself down all the time? Do you see your failures as permanent setbacks? How do you normally pull yourself out of a rut? You can't live the healthy life you want if you aren't kind to yourself. So if you're ready to banish unwholesome words, then take your mind to the streets. The K.I.S.S. ~ Take your mind to the streets! Mindfulness is essential in living a healthier lifestyle. 1. Mindful Language: The words you choose to use on a daily basis can either lift you up or drag you down. Make a conscious effort to eliminate negative self-talk and replace it with positive affirmations. Instead of saying "I can't" or "I'm not good enough," try saying "I can" and "I am capable." By speaking positively to ourselves, we reinforce a mindset of belief and possibility. 2. Mindful Actions: After you establish your thoughts with your language, your follow-through is what matters. Yes-- your actions! What you do with your words leads to your actions. So set yourself up for success with actions that feed who the healthy person you want to become. 3. Mindful Goals: Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals is essential for staying focused and motivated. When our goals are tangible and broken down into smaller milestones, it becomes easier to track our progress and celebrate our achievements along the way. Remember, each step towards your goal, no matter how small, is a step in the right direction. "Instead of focusing on the negative words that demean and degrade your dreams and goals, ask yourself, 'What would a healthy me do?'" ~ Kristianne Wargo By shifting your perspective and reevaluating the words you use, you can take control of your thoughts and empower yourself to make healthier choices. Banishing unwholesome words from your vocabulary is a powerful step towards achieving your healthy goals. By practicing mindfulness, you can create a positive and empowering environment that propels you towards success. Remember, the words you speak to yourself matter, so let's choose them wisely.
