Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Love is a powerful force – a force that has the ability to nourish and sustain a marriage. What does it mean to love your spouse? It's not about striving for a picture-perfect relationship; rather, it's about practicing love daily through your actions and words. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Are you one who does that for your spouse? The K.I.S.S. ~ Practice love every day! What are some tangible ways to practice love towards your spouse, while keeping their needs and well-being in mind? 1. Express gratitude and appreciation Sometimes, we tend to overlook the little things that make our spouse unique and special. Take a moment each day to express your gratitude and appreciation for who they are and what they bring to the relationship. It could be as simple as leaving them a heartfelt note or verbally acknowledging their efforts. For example, you could say, "Thank you for always supporting my dreams and believing in me. Your unwavering belief in me means the world." 2. Prioritize quality time Amidst the daily hustle and bustle, it's crucial to carve out quality time for your spouse. Make a conscious effort to create opportunities for bonding and connection. It could be a regular date night where you explore new places or activities together, or simply turning off all distractions and having a heartfelt conversation. Show them that they are a priority in your life. For instance, surprise your spouse with a planned outing or set aside an evening to cook their favorite meal together. 3. Practice active listening Communication is key in any relationship, and it goes beyond just talking. Practice active listening – genuinely hearing and understanding your spouse's thoughts, feelings, and concerns. This means giving them your undivided attention, maintaining eye contact, and validating their emotions. Show interest by asking open-ended questions and providing a safe space for them to share. For example, when your spouse expresses a worry, respond with empathy and say, "I understand how you feel. Let's work through this together." Remember, love is not about performance or perfection. It's about the consistent effort to make your spouse feel valued, understood, and cherished. As Kristianne Wargo beautifully puts it, "Love is not about performance to be perfect, but rather about the practice of loving." By implementing these three practices into your daily life, you will lay a strong foundation for a fulfilling and lasting marriage. Embrace the art of practicing love, and watch your relationship blossom into something truly beautiful. "Be present. Be incredible.

Sometimes, we try to "force" our children into doing things we want on our timetables. If we as parents learn to work with them and stay very consistent in our actions, that's how you teach your child life skills. Have you ever found yourself struggling to get your child to do something that you believe will have a profound impact on their life? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Too many times, we can forcibly strong-arm our children, but that's where the battles brew. We often have a vision of what we want our children to achieve, but getting them on board is another battle. And it's in those moments where we question the worth of our effort. However, instead of trying to force our children into doing something that, at the time, they don't understand why we are asking them to do it, there is a better way to approach training them. The K.I.S.S. ~ Work with your child, not against them! Because by working with your child and staying consistent in your actions, you can effectively guide them towards building life skills while nurturing their growth. 1. Establish a Supportive Environment Creating a supportive environment is essential for your child's growth and development. Set aside a specific area where they can work on their goals, and equip it with the necessary tools and resources. For example, if you want your child to excel in their academics, provide them with a dedicated study space, comfortable seating, and adequate lighting. Make sure this space is free from distractions and encourage them to personalize it to make it truly their own. By providing them with a dedicated space, you are sending a message that their goals and aspirations are important and that you are there to support them every step of the way. 2. Set Clear Expectations One of the key factors in working with your child toward achieving their goals is setting clear expectations. Clearly communicate the desired outcome and explain why it is important. Help them understand the benefits and how the skills or knowledge they gain will positively impact their future. Make sure the expectations are realistic and age-appropriate, breaking down the goal into smaller achievable milestones. This not only gives your child a sense of direction but also provides them with a roadmap to follow. By setting clear expectations, your child will gain clarity on what is expected of them and will feel more motivated to work towards achieving those goals. 3. Encourage Independence and Ownership While it is important to provide guidance and support, it is equally crucial to foster independence and ownership in your children. Encourage them to take ownership of their goals by involving them in the planning process. Allow them to make decisions and let them take the lead in setting targets and timelines. This gives them a sense of responsibility and instills confidence in their abilities. Encourage them to reflect on their progress and celebrate their achievements, no matter how small. By giving your child the autonomy to take charge of their own journey, you are empowering them to become self-motivated learners. By working with your child and staying consistent in your actions, you have the power to guide them towards success. Creating a supportive environment, setting clear expectations, and encouraging independence and ownership are key strategies that can make a significant impact on their journey. Remember, patience and consistency are crucial throughout this process. Emphasize the importance of progress over perfection, and celebrate even the smallest achievements along the way. Together, you and your child can lay a strong foundation for a successful future. "Be present. Be incredible.

When times get tough, remember the words of Psalm 34:17-18, "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Take solace in the knowledge that you are not alone. You have a higher power guiding you and providing solace in difficult times. Believe in yourself and your abilities. You are capable of achieving great things. Embrace your uniqueness, nurture your spirit, and continue to grow into the best version of yourself. Treat yourself with kindness, love, and respect, just as you would treat others. Remember, you deserve all the good that life has to offer. So, be kind to yourself, cultivate treasure, and watch as your world transforms in remarkable ways. "Be present. Be incredible.

Breast cancer is a widely recognized health concern for women. However, with the proper precautions, it is possible to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Incorporating healthy lifestyle habits can play a crucial role in maintaining breast health. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Research has shown that certain lifestyle factors can significantly lower the risk of breast cancer. Let's talk about three actionable steps you can take toward prevention. The K.I.S.S. ~ Prevention is key! One of the obvious things that must be done is your annual mammogram. Have you had yours yet? Because it's not obvious unless you do it. And for those who are wondering if it hurts, the answer is no. It can be a little uncomfortable. But for the most part, it's a slight discomfort to save your life. If you think of it that way, you can endure it for a few minutes. So, let's look at some preventative ways. 1. Engage in regular physical activity: Regular exercise has been found to have a protective effect against breast cancer. According to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, women who engaged in moderate to vigorous physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day had a lower risk of developing breast cancer compared to those who were less physically active. Physical activity not only helps in weight management but also reduces estrogen levels in the body, which can contribute to a reduced risk of breast cancer. 2. Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity has been linked with an increased risk of breast cancer, especially after menopause. Excess body weight can lead to increased estrogen production, which can fuel the growth of breast cells and potentially lead to cancer. By maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise, individuals can reduce their risk of breast cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends following a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and limiting the intake of processed foods and sugary drinks. 3. Limit alcohol consumption: Numerous studies have shown that alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, even small amounts of alcohol can increase the risk. It is recommended to limit alcohol consumption to no more than one drink per day for women. By reducing alcohol intake, individuals can reduce their exposure to a known risk factor for breast cancer. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. Engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol consumption, and get your annual mammogram. These are simple yet effective steps that you can take to protect yourself. "Train for life.

Because when you think about it, It's during these overwhelming moments that you must anchor yourself and remember the essence of what truly matters. Embrace this truth - the best is yet to come. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Life is a journey, and on this journey, it's easy to get caught up in the frenzy, feeling like a small boat on stormy waters. But amidst the chaos, be still for a moment and allow yourself to flow with the current. Instead of resisting the tides of life, learn to navigate them with grace and intention. "In the midst of the rush and chaos, find solace in the knowledge that the best is yet to come." ~ Kristianne Wargo By embracing this mindset, you can elevate your perspective and find inspiration even in the most challenging moments. The K.I.S.S. ~ Pass over the rush! It's natural to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of tasks that await you, but remember that you are in control. Each day brings new opportunities for growth, learning, and achievement. Instead of succumbing to the pressure, shift your focus to the progress you are making and the accomplishments that lie just ahead. In this journey called life, it's important to set your own pace. Allow yourself to take breaks, to rest, and to recharge. By nurturing your mind, body, and spirit, you pave the way for a more harmonious every day. This self-care is not a luxury; it's a necessity that enables you to be your best self as you move forward. Rather than letting the to-do list consume you, learn to prioritize. Focus on the tasks that truly matter and bring you closer to your goals, and be willing to delegate or let go of those that hinder your progress. Embrace a mindset of simplicity, and seek fulfillment and joy in the completion of each task. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small they may seem. In this journey of life's ebb and flow, remember to stay present. Each moment is an opportunity for growth, connection, and appreciation. Take time to acknowledge the beauty that surrounds you, the love you receive, and the progress you've made. Gratitude has the power to transform your perspective and infuse your journey with positivity and joy. Pass over the rush, and let the rhythm of life's journey guide you towards the extraordinary.

Have you ever noticed how the changing seasons bring a sense of newness and anticipation? Different seasons bring new beginnings. Each season holds its own unique charm, with fresh opportunities and possibilities just waiting to be explored. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Whether it's the blossoming of flowers in spring, the warmth of summer days, the crispness of autumn, or the serenity of winter, each season invites us to be present and fully embrace the magic it offers. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the magic of the season! 1. Cultivate a Mindset of Gratitude Regardless of the season, gratitude is key to finding joy and purpose in the present. Take a moment to reflect on the beauty and blessings that surround you during this season. Whether it's the vibrant colors of fall foliage or the rejuvenation of spring, appreciating the wonders of nature helps shift your mindset to one of abundance. "Presence is about recognizing the blessings in each season and being open to the lessons they bring." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. Engage in Seasonal Activities What better way to fully immerse yourself in the season than by participating in activities that are unique to it? Make a list of activities that align with the season you're in. For instance, during the spring, you could go for hikes in blooming gardens, have picnics in the park, or start a new hobby like gardening. For the Fall, think of pumpkin patches and cool walks through the fallen leaves. Engaging in these activities not only connects you with the season but also opens opportunities for new experiences and connections. 3. Embrace Intentionality and Presence Being present in the season means consciously creating moments of stillness and reflection. Carve out time to disconnect from the busyness of life and fully immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and sensations of the season. Whether it's taking a leisurely walk in a snow-covered park during winter or sitting by the beach, feeling the warmth of the summer sun, the act of intentionally engaging with the season fosters a deeper appreciation for the here and now. Each season offers us a chance to grow, learn, and start anew. By cultivating a mindset of gratitude, engaging in seasonal activities, and embracing intentionality and presence, we open ourselves up to the magic and potential that each new season brings. As Kristianne Wargo beautifully sums it up, "It's not just about waiting for what's to come but anticipating with joy the newness that each season unfolds." So, as the seasons change, let us remember to be fully present, appreciating the gifts that each one brings, and eagerly anticipating the new beginnings that lie ahead. "Be present. Be incredible.

"But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God." ~ John 3:21 These powerful words, spoken by Jesus himself, remind us of the importance of living a life guided by truth and being a shining light in this world. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Often, we find ourselves surrounded by darkness - the darkness of sin, negativity, and deception. It can be easy to lose sight of what is right and succumb to the pressures and temptations around us. However, Jesus encourages us to stand firm in the truth, for it is the truth that sets us free and allows us to be a beacon of light in a world that desperately needs it. So, how can you live the life in the sight of God? As you know, you want to commit first to seeking and living by the truth. This means aligning our thoughts, actions, and intentions with what is morally right and just. It means being honest with yourself and others, even when it may be uncomfortable or inconvenient. It means making choices that honor God and reflect His love and grace. The K.I.S.S. ~ In the sight of God! Being the light also means being a positive influence on those around us. Your words and actions have the power to either uplift or tear down others. When you choose to speak words of encouragement, show acts of kindness, and extend forgiveness, you are spreading the light of love and compassion to those who need it most. In a world filled with darkness, being the light also means standing up for what is right and just. It means advocating for those who are oppressed, disadvantaged, or marginalized. It means using your voice to speak out against injustice and create positive change in your communities. By taking a stand for righteousness and being a voice for the voiceless, you can illuminate the darkness and bring hope to those who need it most. Remember that being the light does not mean being perfect. We are all flawed and capable of making mistakes. Yet, it is through our willingness to acknowledge our shortcomings and seek forgiveness that we can truly shine. When we humbly admit our failures and turn to God for guidance, he can transform our lives and use us as vessels of His light and love. In the sight of God! So, are you being the light unto the world? Take a moment to reflect on your thoughts, words, and actions. Are they in alignment with the truth? Are they bringing hope, love, and grace to those around you? In this moment, decide to be intentional about being the light, for through you, God's love can shine brightly in this world. "Be present.

In the journey of married life, couples often strive to find the perfect ingredients for a solid marriage. However, we tend to overlook the most powerful tool: bond through prayer. We seek advice from relationship experts, read countless books, and attend seminars and workshops, all in the hopes of uncovering the secret to a successful marriage. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, in the midst of our search for answers, we tend to overlook the simplest and yet most powerful tool available to us: prayer. Prayer has the ability to strengthen the bond between two spouses and nurture a deeper sense of connection and intimacy. It is the cornerstone of spiritual unity, allowing couples to invite God's presence and guidance into their marriage. Let's explore ways to encourage praying together as a couple. The K.I.S.S. ~ Pray together! But in reality, it's a challenge just getting to spend time together. 1. Create Sacred Moments Just as physical intimacy requires a space where both partners can connect intimately, so does spiritual intimacy necessitate a dedicated time and place to come together in prayer. Establishing a sacred moment each day, whether it's in the morning, evening, or before bedtime, sets the stage for a prayerful connection. Mark this time on your shared calendar and treat it with the same importance you would give to any other commitment. Biblical Reference: "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18:20). By intentionally setting aside time for prayer, couples invite the presence of God into their marriage, strengthening their connection and fostering a deeper understanding of one another. 2. Create a Prayer Routine Building a prayer routine helps couples establish a habit of consistent prayer, ensuring that the act becomes an essential part of their daily lives. Begin this journey by discussing your individual prayer needs and concerns with each other. Understand what personal needs, challenges, or dreams you both have and how you can support one another through prayer. Then, create a list of prayer points together and set aside time to bring these concerns before God as a united front. Biblical Reference: "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" (Romans 12:12). Embracing a regular prayer routine encourages couples to find joy in the journey, remain steadfast in times of trouble, and demonstrate their faithfulness to one another and to God. 3. Pray for One Another While sharing prayer concerns as a couple is valuable, it is equally important to pray specifically for each other. Take turns praying for your spouse's individual hopes, dreams, and challenges. Ask God to guide and protect your partner, interceding on their behalf for strength, wisdom, and grace. By lifting one another up in prayer, you demonstrate your love and commitment, and allow God to work in and through your marriage. Biblical Reference: "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing" (1 Thessalonians 5:11). Praying for one another not only strengthens the bond between spouses but also serves as an encouragement and reminder of the love and support you have for each other in your shared journey. Please note...prayer should never be underestimated or overlooked. Prayer has the power to transform marriages, providing a foundation of spiritual intimacy and unity that cannot be achieved through any other means. Through creating sacred moments, establishing a prayer routine, and praying for one another, you can cultivate a vibrant and enduring relationship built on faith. Let's pause and ask yourself: "Do you believe in the power of prayer for your marriage?" Let the answer guide you toward an even more meaningful and connected journey together as you embrace the transformative power of prayer within your marital bond. "Be present. Be incredible.

Going against the grain is challenging, but it can be the greatest gift you give your family. Embrace your unique parenting style while daring to be different. As parents, we often find ourselves striving for approval from others, conforming to societal norms, and silently questioning our choices. But deep down, we know that what's truly best for our children may not always align with what everyone else is doing. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Have you ever given much thought to your parenting style? Most parents don't. They end up expecting, and then the next thing you know, you're disciplining, going to soccer practice, and volunteering at senior prom. Yes, life does not slow down. So take a front seat in your parenting journey and dare to be different. The K.I.S.S. ~ Dare to be different! 1. Trust Your Parenting Instincts Parenting is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and there's no manual that suits every child. A way to dare to be different is by trusting your intuition and embracing your parental instincts. Instead of constantly seeking validation or comparing yourself to other parents, listen to your inner voice and believe in your ability to make choices that resonate with your child's individual needs and values. Remember, you are their parent, and nobody knows your child like you do. 2. Break Free from Expectations Society often imposes numerous expectations on parents, from comparing milestones to parenting philosophies. Dare to be different by breaking free from these unrealistic expectations and embracing what works best for your family. Create your own set of values, principles, and goals that reflect your family's unique dynamics and individuality. By doing so, you will cultivate an environment where your children can thrive authentically, free from the weight of societal pressures. 3. Embrace Unconventional Approaches Daring to be different also involves exploring alternative and unconventional approaches to parenting. Embrace and integrate progressive ideas and methodologies that resonate with you and your child's personality. Whether it's homeschooling, co-parenting, or adopting a different dietary lifestyle, be open to challenging the status quo and embracing what aligns with your beliefs and values. Remember, parenting is a continual learning process, and by exploring unconventional avenues, you provide your child with an environment that encourages growth, innovation, and a unique perspective on the world. By daring to be different, you pave the way for a parenting journey that celebrates authenticity, individuality, and personal growth. And remember that in anything you do, be consistent. Consistency is what locks in the who, what, how, why, and when to parenting. Trust your instincts, break free from societal expectations, and embrace unconventional approaches that resonate with your family. Remember, being the parent you want to be is the greatest gift you can give your children. So, let go of guilt and empower yourself to forge your own path – one that leads to the well-being and happiness of your family. "Be present. Be incredible.

Life is a delicate balance of ups and downs, a symphony of experiences that shape us. As we enter the holiday season, don't get bogged down in the rough patches. Rise above and thirst for more. And no, not more of the challenges. As you know, it's natural to encounter challenges that may leave you feeling exhausted, disappointed, or discouraged. Instead of getting bogged down in those rough patches and ditches, you get to rise above and embrace the transformative power of gratitude. This will open your heart and allow you to thirst for more. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co "Embrace gratitude as a catalyst for expansion, for within its embrace lies the key to unlocking your ability to thirst for more." We all possess an inherent desire to make a difference, to have a positive impact on the world we touch. Often, though, we tend to focus on what we lack or the obstacles we face. Yet, through the lens of gratitude, we can shift our perspective and acknowledge the blessings that surround us. Thirsting for more, when rooted in gratitude, is not a pursuit of material wealth or external validation. It's not about getting more of something. In fact, it's about harnessing the power of appreciation to expand your capacity for impact and influence, kindness and compassion; hope in the making. Imagine a flower reaching towards the sun, rooted in the earth, but constantly stretching towards the light. In the same way, gratitude nourishes your soul, anchoring you in the present while propelling you forward to seek more impactful ways of living. The K.I.S.S. ~ Thirst for more! By cultivating gratitude, you then recognize that challenges are not roadblocks; they are invitations for growth and expansion. Rather than dwelling on what you lack, you shift your focus to the abundance that exists within and around you. Gratitude becomes the catalyst that propels you to make a meaningful difference and amplify your impact. During the holiday season, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of festivities and consumerism. However, the true essence of this time lies in recognizing and appreciating the blessings we've been gifted with. Gratitude invites us to acknowledge the love, support, and opportunities we encounter daily, deepening our connection to the world and those around us. When you experience gratitude, you radiate positivity and attract more reasons to be thankful. It becomes a ripple effect, transforming not only your own life but also those you interact with. As you navigate the ebb and flow of life, let gratitude permeate and expand every aspect of your being. Allow it to shape your actions, relationships, and aspirations. Let it be a reminder that you have the power to touch lives, to create change, and to make a lasting impact by being a living legacy. "Embrace gratitude as a catalyst for expansion, for within its embrace lies the key to unlocking your ability to thirst for more." ~ Kristianne Wargo So, as you embrace the holiday season, let gratitude be your guiding light, leading you to a place of genuine appreciation and a deepened desire to expand your impact. May you rise above the challenges, recognizing them as opportunities for growth. May gratitude infuse your actions and intentions, allowing you to make a positive difference in the lives of others. And as you journey forward, thirst for more, not out of greed, but as an expression of your gratitude and commitment to leave this world a better place. "Be present. Be incredible.
