Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

The holiday season is often depicted as a time of joy, love, and togetherness with family and friends. However, for many of us, it can also be a period of overwhelming stress. But fear not! From juggling family obligations to dealing with financial pressures and managing expectations, the holiday season can leave us feeling drained and exhausted. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co With a little planning and a few self-care strategies, you can minimize stress before it overwhelms you. Here are three things you can do to keep calm and enjoy the holiday season: The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep calm and carry on! 1. Set Realistic Expectations One of the primary sources of stress during the holidays is the pressure we put on ourselves to create the "perfect" holiday experience. Remember, perfection is an illusion. Instead of striving for unattainable ideals, focus on what truly matters: spending quality time with loved ones. Prioritize activities and events that bring you joy and let go of the rest. Simplify your to-do list and delegate tasks to others. Remember, you don't have to do it all alone. "It's important to have realistic expectations during the holiday season. Trying to do too much can lead to stress and burnout. Focus on what truly matters and let go of the rest." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Practice Self-Care Taking care of yourself is essential, especially during the busy holiday season. Make self-care a priority by setting aside time each day for activities that promote relaxation and well-being. Engage in activities that rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit, such as practicing yoga, going for a walk, reading a book, or enjoying a warm bath. Prioritize sleep and make sure to get enough rest each night. Remember, you cannot pour from an empty cup, so make sure to replenish your energy. 3. Communicate and Set Boundaries Family dynamics can add another layer of stress during the holidays. It's essential to communicate openly with your family members and set clear boundaries to avoid conflicts. Be honest about your limitations and discuss your expectations for the holiday season. This can help prevent misunderstandings and reduce tension. Learn to say "no" gracefully if an invitation or request doesn't align with what you need or can handle at the moment. Remember, it's okay to put yourself first and prioritize your well-being. You can minimize stress and create a more enjoyable and meaningful holiday season. Create your now! And that comes by setting realistic expectations, practicing self-care, and communicating openly with your loved ones. Remember, the holidays are about love and connection – don't let stress overshadow the joy! "Take care of yourself during the holiday season. In doing so, you can better care for others and create lasting memories." -Kristianne Wargo The holiday season can be the most wonderful time of the year, filled with love and happiness. By incorporating these strategies into your routine, you can navigate family dynamics and stress with grace and ease, allowing you to truly savor the joys of the season. "Be present. Be incredible.

We tend to put pressure on others to make us feel a certain way. What if you were to get up on the right side of the bed and decide to feel the way you want? Inspire yourself to inspire others. In this fast-paced world where we often seek external validation and inspiration from others, we often forget that it is within ourselves where true motivation lies. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Imagine waking up every morning on the right side of the bed, empowered to feel the way you want to feel, and in turn, becoming a source of inspiration for others. It's time to break free from the cycle of relying on others to make you feel a certain way and instead, take charge of your own inspiration. As you know, life is full of ups and downs, but it doesn't have to feel like we are always stuck in a deep ditch. We have the power to shape our own reality and create the life we desire. "Sometimes what we want comes from what we do." ~ Kristianne Wargo It's not about waiting for someone else to light that fire within us; rather, it's about taking A.I.M. and becoming the source of inspiration that others seek. Inspiration begins in the mind and starts with a mindset shift. When you change your perspective and choose to focus on the positive aspects of life, you naturally radiate that positivity to those around you. The K.I.S.S. ~ Inspire yourself to inspire others! It's a ripple effect, where the energy you put out into the world has the power to influence others in profound ways. When you take responsibility for your own inspiration, you become more mindful of your thoughts and actions, leading to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. Discovering what truly inspires you is key to unlocking your potential. It could be as simple as pursuing a hobby, seeking personal growth through self-help books, or surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals who uplift and support us. Are you investing time in what lights you up? Your heart needs to be decorated, too. And when that happens, you not only fuel your own inspiration but you also become a shining example for others to follow. Remember, inspiration doesn't always have to come from external sources. In fact, some of the most powerful inspirations are self-generated. Get ready to tap into an inner well of motivation that can move mountains. Embrace your own passions and unique strengths to empower you to inspire others on a whole new level. As you embark on this journey to inspire yourself and others, keep in mind "Sometimes what we want comes from what we do. ~ Kristianne Wargo" So, rise and shine, and take charge of your own inspiration today. The world is waiting for your light to shine bright and inspire others to do the same. "Be present. Be incredible.

It's easy to fall into a pattern of waiting for the "right" time to break free from old habits. But why wait for the new year or society's approval? It's time to break the silence and take charge of your well-being. "Don't let the world silence your dreams. Speak up, rise up, and create a life that nourishes your soul." ~ Kristianne Wargo Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Create your now! The K.I.S.S. ~ Break the silence! The one thing many of us forget is that you have a choice to make the decision that is right for you. 1. Dare to Be Different: Society often conditions us to conform and follow accepted norms. But breaking the silence means daring to be different and embracing a unique path tailored to your personal well-being. Whether it's adopting a new exercise routine, exploring a plant-based diet, or practicing mindfulness techniques, be open to unconventional approaches that resonate with your true self. Remember, it's your journey, and you have the power to pave your own way. 2. Embrace Imperfection: Waiting for the stars to align or for everything to be perfect can hinder progress and keep you stagnant. Embracing imperfection means not waiting for everything to be optimal before taking the first step toward a healthier lifestyle. Start today, right where you are, and make small but consistent changes. Progress, no matter how small, is still progress. Don't let the fear of failure or judgment hold you back from creating the life you desire. 3. Surround Yourself with Support: Breaking the silence can be challenging, and it's crucial to surround yourself with a supportive community that encourages and uplifts you. Seek out like-minded individuals who share your passion for healthy living and connect with them through online communities, local groups, or fitness classes. Together, you can foster an environment of growth, inspire each other, and create a powerful network of support that will fuel your progress. Embrace the beauty of breaking the silence and starting anew in unconventional times. The time for healthy living is now. As Kristianne Wargo rightly says, "Your voice matters. Your choices matter. Break the silence and create your now; a day in your life that nourishes your body, mind, and spirit." "Be present. Be incredible.

With Christmas on the horizon, there is a unique opportunity for us to tap into our creative spirit, connect with loved ones, and embrace the joy that surrounds us. Unleash the magic within. In a world filled with bustling schedules and endless to-do lists, the close of Thanksgiving signals the start of a new season – the Christmas season filled with hope, love, and joy. As the pressure to prepare for this magical time of year sweeps over us, it is essential to take a step back and reflect on the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It is a time when communities come alive with shimmering lights, heartwarming melodies, and the laughter of children filled with wonder. This season reveals the magic that dwells within each of us, waiting to be set free. It is with great pleasure that I share with you, dear readers, a gentle reminder of the transformative power that lies within the Christmas season. As we navigate through the jingling bells and bustling holiday crowds, let us not lose sight of the hope and inspiration that the holidays bring. "Christmas is not just a season; it's a state of mind that can last all year long. The preparation for what's to come." ~ Kristianne Wargo These words carry a profound truth. The spirit of Christmas encourages us to open our hearts, express gratitude, and cultivate a sense of wonder that extends far beyond the holiday season. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unleash the magic within! Imagine a world where acts of kindness are not reserved only for the month of December but are woven into the fabric of everyday life. Picture a society that embraces empathy, love, and compassion year-round, focusing on the magic found in each and every moment. During this busy season, take a moment to connect with what truly matters. It's the joy of a shared meal with family and friends, the warmth of embraces and laughter, and the generosity that comes from giving without expectation. Take comfort in the fact that the true essence of Christmas can never be found in material possessions but rather in the intangible gifts of love, peace, and togetherness. As the season unfolds, indulge in the excitement of decorating homes with twinkling lights, baking delicious treats, and creating cherished memories. Aim to spread joy to those who may be grieving, lonely, or in need of a simple act of kindness. By giving a small piece of yourself to others, you open up a space within your heart where the true magic of Christmas dwells. In the chaos that often accompanies this season, it is essential to remember that you have the power to create the Christmas you desire. Embrace the challenges and uncertainties with grace, knowing that they only serve to make the triumphs and moments of serendipity even more extraordinary. It is my sincerest wish that this Christmas, you find yourself intertwined in the enchantment and allure that the season brings. Embrace the spirit of hope, love, and joy that lies within you and, in turn, inspire those around you to do the same. May this Christmas season be a reminder of the endless possibilities that life holds, and may the magic of the holidays ignite a fire within you that burns brightly throughout the year. Unleash the magic within. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Patterns are great for decorating and organizing. But what about how it applies to your mindset and leadership? When you understand the power of patterns, your life will be transformed. Patterns go far beyond aesthetics, permeating every aspect of our lives. From our daily routines to our thoughts and behaviors, patterns shape who we are and how we lead. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Think about how you started your morning. Think about how you went about cooking for Thanksgiving, whether it was the entire meal or a side or two. You had a pattern, a rhythm that helped you remember what you needed to do and how you preceded in the moment. When you unlock the power of patterns, you unlock the key to personal transformation and effective leadership. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unlock the power of patterns by seeing what you didn't know before! Because how much are you paying attention to your patterns, good or bad? Most of the time, we just go through the motions because it's faster and quicker. We don't have to overthink which can lead to overwhelm. But you can see your patterns. 1. Mindful Observation: The first step to understanding and recognizing patterns in your life is through mindful observation. Take a step back and become aware of your thought patterns, emotions, and actions. Are there specific triggers that consistently lead to certain outcomes? By observing yourself without judgment, you can identify recurring patterns that either serve you or hold you back. 2. Reflect and Analyze: Once you become aware of patterns, it's crucial to reflect and analyze them. Look for common themes and connections between different areas of your life. Are there recurring issues or challenges that surface in relationships, work, or personal growth? By examining these patterns, you can gain insights into your strengths, weaknesses, and areas where change is needed. 3. Seek Patterns in Others: Understanding and recognizing patterns in your own life is powerful, but it doesn't stop there. Expand your awareness of the patterns in others. By observing and understanding the patterns in your team members, colleagues, or loved ones, you can better relate to them, provide support, and tap into collective strengths. This empathy and understanding will enhance your leadership and foster stronger relationships. "Patterns are the breadcrumbs guiding us towards self-discovery and growth." ~ Kristianne Wargo By understanding and recognizing patterns within yourself and others, you embark on a journey of self-awareness, personal growth, and effective leadership. So embrace the power of patterns, and let them transform your life. "Be present. Be incredible.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 4:6-7 When we are overwhelmed and struggling silently, cultivating gratitude can help us reframe our perspective. Gratitude has the power to shift our focus from what we lack to the blessings that surround us. It is in these moments that we find renewal. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Philippians 4:6 begins with the instruction to "be anxious about nothing." But what does it mean to present our "requests to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving"? Prayer: By engaging in prayer, we take the time to communicate with God in an intimate and personal way. It is through prayer that we express our hopes, fears, worries, and desires. It serves as a channel to connect with God, seeking guidance, strength, and peace. Petition: Petitioning God involves laying our specific requests and concerns before Him. It is the act of earnestly seeking His intervention and supplicating for His will to be done in our lives. In our moments of struggle and weariness, we can find comfort in the assurance that God hears our petitions and answers them according to His perfect wisdom. The K.I.S.S. ~ By prayer and petition! Remember, you are not alone in this journey. The Bible teaches us in Psalm 23:1-3, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul." Just as a shepherd takes care of his flock, God is always there to guide you, renew your spirit, and restore your weary soul. But in every situation, by prayer and petition. Discovering Peace: The Power of Gratitude Our passage then instructs us to present our requests "with thanksgiving." Gratitude is a transformative attitude that helps shift our focus from our problems and anxieties to the blessings and goodness that surround us. 1. Reframing our Perspective: Gratitude enables us to see beyond our circumstances, reminding us of the countless reasons to be thankful. It changes our perspective and helps us find hope even in the midst of challenges. 2. Cultivating a Peaceful Mindset: A heart filled with gratitude is a heart at peace. It creates space for tranquility to enter our lives, providing a source of comfort and renewal. As we acknowledge and appreciate the blessings we have, the peace of God transcends our understanding and guards our hearts and minds. 3. Strengthening Our Faith: Gratitude deepens our connection with God, fostering a sense of trust and dependency on Him. By recognizing His goodness and provision, we develop unwavering faith, knowing that He will continue to guide and support us through every trial and tribulation. Remember the words of the apostle Paul, "The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." May this peace be with you always. Allow yourself the time and space to rest, reflect, and reimagine what is truly important. See your life with the lenses from Heaven. Know that you are strong, loved, and capable of embracing the peace that surpasses all understanding. "Be present. Be incredible.

If there's one thing we can say about Black Friday, it's that people go all out to snag the best deals. But what if you applied that to marriage? Is your marriage better than a Black Friday Deal? People respond to Black Friday with the excitement, the rush, the determination to get that coveted item at an incredible price – it's palpable. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But what if you were to apply that same fervor and dedication to your marriage? Would it result in a better, more fulfilling relationship? If you put in as much time into your marriage as you do to shopping Black Friday deals, imagine how much farther you could be as a couple? Spend your money and your time wisely on what really matters...Your marriage! The K.I.S.S. ~ Spend your money and your time wisely! Let's delve into what a spouse can do to have a marriage that surpasses even the most sought-after Black Friday specials. 1. Prioritize Communication: In the midst of the chaos that a Black Friday sale brings, communication becomes crucial. Couples need to communicate effectively and clearly, just like bargain hunters strategize their shopping spree. Open lines of communication in a marriage create a strong foundation for understanding, empathy, and compromise. Taking the time to listen and express your thoughts and feelings can make a tremendous difference in resolving conflicts, improving intimacy, and strengthening the overall connection between spouses. "Communication is the lifeline of any relationship. It allows both partners to understand, support, and grow together." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Embrace Gratitude: In the frenzy of searching for the best deal, it's easy to lose sight of what we already have. Similarly, in marriage, it's essential to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Often, we tend to focus on what we lack or what's not working, becoming blind to the many blessings we share with our partners. Taking a moment each day to acknowledge and express gratitude for our spouse can create a positive shift in the relationship. It helps us appreciate their efforts, kindness, and love, fostering a deeper sense of connection and satisfaction. "Gratitude is like a magnet that attracts more blessings into your relationship. By focusing on the positives and expressing appreciation for your spouse, you create an environment of love and harmony." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Invest in Quality Time: Just as shoppers meticulously plan their Black Friday strategy to secure the best deals, couples need to invest time and effort into their marriage. Quality time is priceless. It allows couples to nurture their bond, create memories, and strengthen their emotional connection. Making a deliberate choice to spend uninterrupted, meaningful time together cultivates intimacy and reminds us why we fell in love in the first place. Whether it's going on regular date nights, engaging in shared hobbies, or simply having heartfelt conversations, dedicating time to your marriage will pay dividends that no material possession can match. "Investing time in your marriage is like investing in your future. The moments you share today will shape the foundation of tomorrow, which then becomes today. Presence counts more than presents." ~ Kristianne Wargo Marriage is not a fleeting Black Friday deal; it's a lifelong commitment. By prioritizing communication, embracing gratitude, and investing quality time, you can create a marriage that exceeds any special discount. Remember, the value of a loving and supportive partnership far surpasses the temporary fulfillment that a sale can bring. So, let's approach our marriages with the same passion, determination, and appreciation we reserve for Black Friday. The rewards will be immeasurable, and your marriage will thrive beyond your wildest dreams! "Be present. Be incredible.

Raising kids is beyond challenging. There are so many decisions we make every day for the betterment of our children. But very rarely do we truly understand the gravity of gratitude. All the decisions and sacrifices often leave us feeling worn out and overwhelmed. In the midst of the chaos, it's easy to forget the importance of gratitude. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Gratitude is a powerful tool that can help you navigate the ups and downs of parenthood with grace and appreciation. What season are you in? If you want to appreciate where you are in the season you're in with your kiddos, hone in on gratitude. The K.I.S.S. ~ Hone in on gratitude! There is something special about gratitude. It truly softens your heart to see what is possible amidst what is challenging. 1. Pause and Reflect: In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's crucial to take a step back and reflect on the blessings of parenthood. While it's natural to focus on the challenges, reminding ourselves of the little moments that fill our hearts with joy can shift our perspective. "Take a few minutes each day to reflect on the unique qualities and milestones your children possess. Recognize the privilege you have been given to shape their lives." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Find Joy in the Journey: Parenting is a marathon, not a sprint. It's important to embrace the journey and find joy in every stage – from sleepless nights with newborns to the rebellious teenage years. Rejoice in the discoveries, laughter, and growth that occur along the way. "The moment you realize that each phase is temporary, you start appreciating the journey as a whole." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. Practice Self-Compassion: Parenthood often demands much from us physically, emotionally, and mentally. It's important to prioritize self-care and show ourselves the same compassion we extend to our children. Acknowledge that it's okay to have challenging moments or feel overwhelmed. "Recognize the efforts you are putting in as a parent. Treat yourself with kindness and forgiveness when things don't go as planned. You are doing the most important job in the world." ~ Kristianne Wargo Gratitude has the power to transform the way we perceive parenthood, allowing us to appreciate the smallest of victories amidst the chaos. "Gratitude is like a magnifying glass; it enlarges what is truly precious and helps us navigate the challenging times with grace." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing gratitude, you can cultivate a joyful perspective that will benefit not only your children but yourself as well. Remember, being a parent is a privilege and an honor, and it is up to you to seize every opportunity to be grateful for the precious gift of your children. Let gratitude be your guiding light as you navigate the beautiful and challenging path of parenthood. "Be present. Be incredible.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it is far too easy to overlook the simple joys and blessings that surround us. But just because we're busy, doesn't mean we have to miss this beautiful season. The K.I.S.S. ~ The season of gratitude! With Each Wink of Gratitude by Kristianne Wargo With each sunrise, a chance to embrace, The gift of another day in this blessed space. For gratitude births a love so deep, That in every moment, our souls can keep. With each wink of gratitude, we find, A world of wonder, both gentle and kind. For every whisper of thanks we express, Welcomes love's presence, a tender caress. With each beat of gratitude, we see, The beauty in each person, their uniqueness, the key, Unlocking the bonds, woven with care, A tapestry of love, beyond all compare. With each breath of gratitude, we feel, The power within, a spirit that's real. For in grateful hearts, hope starts to ignite, Guiding us through darkness, a radiant light. With each touch of gratitude, we sow, Seeds of compassion, the kindness that will grow. For nurturing others, we find strength anew, A community of love, vibrant and true. With each prayer of gratitude, we send, Blessings to all, our family and friends. For in grateful souls, there is no divide, Only unity and love, forever to abide. Don't let today go by without reflecting on your blessings; the big and the little ones. The season of gratitude doesn't begin and end today. Cherish it as you create memories and carry those with you every day, reminding you of all the blessings. Happy Thanksgiving! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

With all the sweet and savory dishes to be served, how do you stay on track with healthy living? As the feast poses a challenge, indulge in what gives life. Celebrate Thanksgiving without sacrificing healthy living. The good news is that you don't have to abandon your wellness goals to enjoy the festivities. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co By making a few mindful choices, you can have a satisfying and guilt-free Thanksgiving experience. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make mindful choices and decisions that serve you well! 1. Prioritize Portion Control: When it comes to Thanksgiving, it's easy to get carried away with heaping servings on our plates. However, practicing portion control can be a game-changer in staying mindful of our calorie intake. Be aware of the size of the portions you consume, and opt for smaller plates to create an illusion of a full plate without overloading on food. Remember, it's about savoring the flavors, not devouring everything on the table. "Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to enjoy delicious food without going overboard. Mindful eating and portion control are key to savoring the flavors and maintaining a healthy balance." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Focus on Healthy Swaps: Thanksgiving classics can be heavy in calories and unhealthy ingredients, but that doesn't mean you have to give them up entirely. Look for opportunities to make healthy swaps in your traditional recipes. For example, rather than using white flour, opt for whole wheat flour in your bread or stuffing. Choose leaner meats or explore plant-based alternatives as the centerpiece of your meal. By making conscious choices, you can create a spread that is both delicious and nourishing. 3. Don't Forget Your Greens: While indulging in turkey, cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes, don't forget to include vegetables in your Thanksgiving feast. Green vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, green beans, or kale, are packed with essential nutrients and fiber that can help balance out the heavier dishes. Make sure to include a vibrant, colorful salad as a side dish to add freshness and boost your vitamin intake. "Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate and enjoy a variety of flavors on your plate. Make sure to include a generous serving of nutrient-rich greens to ensure a well-rounded and balanced meal." ~ Kristianne Wargo By incorporating these three strategies into your Thanksgiving celebrations, you can enjoy the festivities guilt-free while still staying true to your healthy lifestyle. Remember, it's all about moderation, mindful choices, and finding a balance that works for you. A Thanksgiving celebration that emphasizes portion control, healthy swaps, and incorporating abundant greens is a great way to ring in the start of the holidays. By implementing these strategies, you can relish the holiday feast without straying from your wellness goals. As you gather with loved ones this season, remember that good health is the greatest gift you can give yourself. "There is nothing more satisfying than enjoying Thanksgiving while staying on track with your wellness goals. By being mindful about our choices and making decisions that serve you well, you can make this holiday both delicious and nourishing." - Kristianne Wargo "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?
