Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Are you caught up in the routines and patterns that define your life? If you are seeking to break free from your limiting thoughts that hold you back, transform your mindset. In the journey of life, it's easy to get set in our ways. We become comfortable with the familiar, and change can seem daunting. But if you're seeking personal growth and aiming to create a better future for yourself, it's essential to break free from the limitations of your current mindset. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co You must break the chains that imprison your progress. Every day, you are either moving forward or backward. You aren't stagnant, or you're dead. Therefore, you have to bite the bullet and change something. Something has to give. Your dreams or your mindset? So, if you're ready to transform your mindset, turn it around. The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn around your mindset! You gotta go to the dark side– meaning, do something out of the norm. You need to embrace the positive and see the possibilities even before they happen. And that comes by taking one step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo 1. Embrace a Positive Outlook: It all begins with changing your perspective. In a world that often emphasizes negativity, it can be challenging to stay positive. However, research has shown that cultivating a positive mindset not only enhances overall well-being but also paves the way for success. Psychologist Barbara Fredrickson suggests that positivity opens our minds, broadens our perspective, and enables us to think creatively, fostering resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges. To embrace a positive outlook, focus on gratitude and appreciation. Take a few moments each day to reflect on the things you are grateful for, no matter how small they may seem. Surround yourself with positive influences, whether it's reading inspirational quotes, listening to uplifting music, or engaging with encouraging individuals. Choose to see the silver lining in every situation, as embracing a positive mindset acts as a catalyst for personal growth and attracts more positivity into your life. 2. Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Our beliefs shape our reality and influence our actions. Sometimes, we unknowingly hold onto limiting beliefs that hinder our progress and prevent us from reaching our true potential. To turn around your mindset, it's crucial to identify and challenge these beliefs. Start by becoming aware of the negative self-talk that exists within you. Notice the moments when self-doubt or fear creeps in and replace those thoughts with positive affirmations. Psychologist Carol Dweck's research on the growth mindset suggests that by viewing failures and setbacks as opportunities for learning and growth, we can unlock our potential and overcome challenges with resilience and determination. Consider seeking out new experiences and stepping outside of your comfort zone. By exposing yourself to different perspectives and challenging your beliefs, you open yourself up to new possibilities and personal growth. 3. Practice Mindfulness and Self-Reflection: In today's fast-paced world, we often find ourselves living on autopilot, rushing from one task to another without truly being present. Mindfulness is the practice of being fully engaged in the present moment without judgment. By cultivating mindfulness, we can break free from the repetitive and unproductive thought patterns that may be holding us back. Take time each day for self-reflection, whether through meditation, journaling, or simply finding a quiet space to relax and be present. Use this time to observe your thoughts, feelings, and reactions without judgment. Notice any negative patterns that arise and consciously choose to replace them with more empowering thoughts. By practicing mindfulness, you develop a greater awareness of your mindset and gain the ability to make intentional changes. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, and your values become your destiny." Turning around your mindset is not a one-time event but an ongoing process. It requires patience, persistence, and self-compassion. By embracing a positive outlook, challenging limiting beliefs, and practicing mindfulness and self-reflection, you pave the way for a brighter and more fulfilling future. Now is the time to take the first step towards creating your now and transforming your life. "Be present. Be incredible.

How are you at extending patience, kindness, and forgiveness? Each of us is called to love unconditionally, but where are you showing that in your life? Transform your life and others as you embrace agape love. In today's world, love often seems transactional and self-centered, lacking the depth and selflessness we yearn for. However, amidst this backdrop, there exists a timeless standard set by Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Paul's description of love goes beyond mere romance; it embodies agape love, the same selfless love that God has for us. This concept challenges us to elevate our human capacities for patience, kindness, and forgiveness, inviting us to step outside the realm of conditional love and into a realm where love becomes a choice rather than just a reaction. By embracing this profound love, you become a conduit of divine grace, embodying God's kindness and patience as an ambassador of love in a world hungry for it. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace agape love! Paul outlines the characteristics of agape love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-5. So, he writes, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." These words provide a roadmap for you and me to understand and embody this unique love in our daily lives. Patience and Kindness True agape love demands patience—a virtue often lacking in our fast-paced world. It calls on us to suspend judgment and extend understanding, offering a safe space for others to grow. Likewise, kindness acts as the cornerstone of agape love. It propels us to extend compassion and empathy without expecting anything in return, allowing love to flourish unconditionally. Forgiveness and Letting Go Agape love also teaches us the power of forgiveness. By releasing grudges and forgiving others, we break free from the burdens that hinder our ability to love fully. Letting go of resentment and sending love instead of anger enables us to experience the transformative beauty of love. You can become an ambassador of divine love. When you embody agape love, your life becomes a testament to God's boundless love. By mirroring God's love to the world, you become channels of His grace. Your acts of kindness, patience, and forgiveness serve as a radiant beacon, illuminating the darkness and showing others the transformative potential of love. When embodying agape love, you can create waves of positive change, inspiring others to embrace this selfless love as well. In a world hungering for love, Paul's teachings on agape love stand as an eternal standard. By embracing this selfless, unconditional love, we become vehicles of divine grace, reflecting God's kindness, patience, and forgiveness to those around us. Love in its purest form is not just a transaction, but a choice we make to extend compassion and understanding without conditions. Strive to embody agape love, making it the guiding principle in your daily life. In doing so, you become an ambassador of God's eternal love, transforming lives and spreading the beauty of love in a world that needs it more than ever. Remember, agape love is not an abstract concept; it is a choice we make each day. Choose to extend patience, kindness, and forgiveness in every facet of your life, and watch as love, in its purest form, transforms you and the world that you touch. It's the journey of love and compassion. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Being ignored by your spouse can be an incredibly frustrating and painful experience. However, you can address the issue while strengthening your marriage. I get how life happens and seasons come and go. There might be times when you don't come together as often, or you're traveling because of your job. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But whatever the case may be, neither of you should feel like you are being ignored. That's not a marriage, let alone a relationship. Yet-- you have to remember, it's how you deal with the situation. So, if you are one who is experiencing this position in your marriage, then it's time to turn up the heat with some honest dialogue. The K.I.S.S. ~ Turn the heat up with some honest dialogue! 1. Choose the Right Time and Place When expressing your concerns about feeling ignored, timing and environment are key factors. Find a calm moment when both of you can engage in an uninterrupted conversation. Ensure that you are both relaxed and receptive to discussing this sensitive matter. Trying to address the issue during moments of tension or when your spouse is preoccupied may lead to defensiveness and disagreement. Psychology Today suggests that "timing should come when both have rested, have time, and can fully engage in the discussion – and when the non-ignoring partner is well-prepared with thoughtful and constructive words." 2. Use "I" Statements Using "I" statements instead of "you" statements can help convey your concerns without putting your spouse on the defensive. "You" statements tend to sound accusatory and may lead to a counter-attack or denial. On the other hand, "I" statements express your feelings and experiences personally, reducing the potential for misunderstanding. For example, instead of saying, "You always ignore me," you can say, "I feel hurt and neglected when I don't receive your attention. It makes me question our connection and leaves me feeling unheard." According to a study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, using "I" statements enhances communication because it allows each partner to express their feelings and experiences without sounding confrontational. 3. Offer Specific Examples and Suggest Solutions During the conversation, it's important to provide your spouse with concrete examples of when you felt ignored. Be specific about the situations, actions, or behaviors that triggered your concerns. By doing so, you help your spouse understand the impact of their actions or lack of attention. Additionally, offering potential solutions or compromises demonstrates your commitment to finding a resolution together. For instance, you could suggest designated quality time to connect with each other, setting aside distractions during meals or implementing a daily ritual, such as sharing your highlights of the day. One thing that most couples don't do anymore is to look at each other. If you don't like something that's happening in your marriage, you have to take an active role to find ways to improve your connection. Feeling ignored in a relationship can be deeply distressing. However, expressing your concerns to your spouse in a thoughtful and constructive manner can spark open dialogue and create an opportunity for you all to grow closer together. "Be present.

Parenting in the modern world comes with the challenge of safeguarding our children's mental well-being amidst anxiety and depression. How do you support your child's mental health? That is one of the most significant challenges we face today-- the mental well-being of our children. If you are trying to walk the tight rope watching your child have anxious thoughts or are depressed, you are hurting, just not in the same ways. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co You have heard the saying that the most rewarding job is being a parent. It's an incredible journey filled with joy, laughter, and unconditional love. But who talks about all the struggles and troubles; the late nights wondering when they are coming home, the first love break-ups, the best friend betrayal, the late night feedings, the loss of a pet, even I'm not good enough. It presents challenges and responsibilities that can sometimes feel overwhelming. One significant challenge we face today is the increasing prevalence of mental health issues in children. Depression, anxiety, and other disorders can take a toll on our little ones, requiring us to step up our knowledge and recognize the symptoms, seek support, and provide appropriate care. If you want to help your children, love beyond your abilities. The K.I.S.S. ~ Love beyond your abilities! There's a lot of junk in the trunk for a kiddos nowadays. Peer pressure, social media, school demands, parents' expectations. All they want to do is run and hide from everything. And so there are parents who miss the signs, not because they don't love their children, they don't know what they don't know. But you can help your child when you love beyond your abilities. 1. Cultivate a Safe and Non-Judgmental Space The first step in supporting your child's mental health is to establish an environment of safety and acceptance. Create a space where they feel comfortable expressing their feelings without fear of judgment or criticism. Encourage open communication by actively listening and validating their emotions. Be empathetic and show understanding, even if you may not fully comprehend their struggles. Remember, your role as a parent is not to fix everything but to be their anchor, providing a refuge of love and support. Research indicates that expressing emotions in a safe environment can have a positive impact on mental health. Encouraging healthy emotional expression helps children develop resilience and coping mechanisms that will serve them well throughout their lives. "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." - Galatians 6:2 2. Encourage Healthy Coping Strategies Teaching children effective coping strategies is essential for their mental well-being. Help them explore activities that bring them joy and provide a sense of relief. Encourage hobbies, such as art, music, sports, or writing, that allow them to express themselves creatively. Engage in these activities together whenever possible, fostering bonding moments while promoting their emotional health. It's also essential to promote a healthy lifestyle by encouraging good nutrition, regular exercise, and quality sleep. Studies have consistently shown that exercise and physical activity have a positive impact on mental health, boosting mood and reducing stress and anxiety levels. "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own," - 1 Corinthians 6:19 3. Seek Professional Support Recognizing our limitations as parents is crucial. If you notice persistent signs of depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues in your child, it may be necessary to seek professional assistance. Remember, seeking help does not diminish your love or capabilities as a parent. It shows your dedication to ensuring your child receives the care they deserve. Consult with a qualified mental health professional who specializes in working with children and adolescents. They can provide a proper diagnosis, therapeutic interventions, and appropriate treatment plans tailored to your child's specific needs. Seeking professional support also offers an opportunity for parents to learn strategies to better assist their child's mental health. Proverbs 4:13 reminds us, "Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life." As parents, we play a vital role in supporting our children's mental health. By creating a safe environment, encouraging healthy coping mechanisms, and seeking professional support when needed, we can nurture our children with love. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Reach out to support networks, friends, or faith communities that can offer guidance and encouragement along the way. "Be present. Be incredible.

It is during these trying moments that your ability to persevere and muster up unfathomable fortitude becomes crucial. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Contrary to popular belief, nothing is truly impossible when you nurture the flames of resilience within your heart. With every setback you face, you have the choice to either succumb to defeat or rise above the circumstances. It is in these moments of decision that your true character is revealed. Perseverance isn't just about pushing forward mechanically; it's a mindset that requires your willpower to keep going despite the odds. It's about turning setbacks into stepping stones that lead you closer to your goals. Imagine a world where giving up became the norm, where individuals discourage and hinder each other's progress. It is through the embrace of perseverance that we reject this bleak reality and create a world that brims with hope and possibility. You possess the power to create a ripple effect, inspiring others with your unwavering determination. When faced with obstacles, it's essential to remember that they are not permanent roadblocks but mere challenges waiting to be conquered. Every setback holds an opportunity for growth and learning. By embracing these challenges, you cultivate a mindset that fuels your desire to overcome and succeed. The journey might be arduous, but with your perseverance, you can rise higher than ever before. The K.I.S.S. ~ What lies within! As Maya Angelou once said, "Nothing will work unless you do." These words encapsulate the essence of perseverance. It is a call to action, urging you to dig deep within yourself and harness the strength required to forge ahead. Like the mustard seed that grows into a mighty tree, your efforts may start small, but with unwavering tenacity, they can lead to incredible outcomes. In your pursuit of greatness, setbacks and trials will undoubtedly arise. However, it is in these moments that you need to muster your mightiest fortitude. Look beyond immediate challenges and envision the possibility of a brighter future. Create a mindset that is victorious, regardless of the outcome. So, my dear friend, embrace perseverance as your guiding light. Believe in yourself and your ability to rise above the challenges that come your way. With resilience as your constant companion, you will pave the path to success, one step at a time. Remember, there is no challenge too great, no hurdle insurmountable when you dare to believe in your own strength and keep pushing forward. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Make it a great day! "Be present. Be incredible.

Have you ever been asked, "What does your gut say?" Your gut does tell you something good or bad. There is a link between the mind and gut that takes healthy living to a whole new level. According to Dr. Mayer's groundbreaking book, "The Mind-Gut Connection," this sensation of a "gut feeling" is more than just a metaphorical expression. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It turns out that there is a strong link between our brain and digestive system, with communication between the two capable of influencing our emotions, decision-making, and even our behavior. Today, let's explore four key insights from the book, shedding light on the fascinating world of the mind-gut connection. The K.I.S.S. ~ Unlock some gut secrets! 1. Gut Feelings Are Real The concept of gut feelings is not just a figment of our imagination. Dr. Mayer provides biological evidence to support the existence of these sensations. They are derived from the close relationship between our brain and digestive system. Whether it's the butterflies we feel when excited or the pit in our stomach when anxious, these physical sensations are influenced by our past knowledge and experiences. By understanding this, we can start to appreciate the significance of our gut feelings and learn to trust our instincts. And then what if you are one who is eating processed foods, sleeping poorly, and drinking the wrong kind of beverages too liberally? You may not be one who is in touch with your body, because you are numb. You don't get those sensations. Also, how you perceive your body is how you know your body. If you're a healthy-conscious person, then you get it more, because you're paying attention more. We are talking about a lifestyle. Not just living to live. 2. Out with the Sugar– but Artificial Sweeteners? While many people are aware of the harmful effects of sugar on gut health, but what about artificial sweeteners? However, Dr. Mayer reveals that these highly processed substitutes can also have a negative impact. Artificial sweeteners alter the metabolic pathways in gut microbes, leading to increased production of short-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids are absorbed by the colon, providing additional calories and potentially hindering weight loss. It is crucial to be mindful of the hidden effects of artificial sweeteners and opt for natural alternatives whenever possible. 3. Change the Behavior of Your Microbiome Our gut is home to trillions of microbes that play a vital role in our overall health. While it may be challenging to alter the composition of our microbiome with fermented foods and probiotics, Dr. Mayer explains that we can still influence how the microbiome acts. By consuming foods that support gut health, such as fermented foods and probiotics, we can promote beneficial metabolites that positively impact your well-being. Think of it as transforming an army in your gut from working against you to working for you. 4. Emotional and Mental Health Matters Maintaining a healthy microbiome goes beyond just what you eat. Dr. Mayer highlights the importance of managing stress, practicing mindfulness, and being mindful of your emotions. Stressful states of mind can affect your digestive system's ability to properly process food, leading to overconsumption and potentially damaging your gut health. It is essential to foster positive emotions and create a supportive environment for your gut. By prioritizing mental health alongside a proper diet, you can work towards improving your overall well-being. "The Mind-Gut Connection" by Dr. Mayer offers profound insights into the intricate relationship between our mind and gut. This connection encompasses more than just physical sensations; it influences our emotions, decision-making, and overall health. By understanding and embracing this mind-gut connection, we can make informed choices to support our gut health and enhance our overall well-being. "Be present. Be incredible.

There's a powerful truth that often slips away from our grasp, and it's this: the present moment is all we truly have. Set your worries and uncertainties aside. Today, choose to walk the path of purpose. Because you know what truly matters is what's right in front of you. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Today, I want to encourage you to let go of the weight of tomorrow and focus on the opportunities that are within your reach right now. Create your now! It's all too easy to become consumed by thoughts of what lies ahead - the distant future, the uncertain outcomes, the mountains yet to climb. But I want you to see that God has placed you here, today for a reason. In the quest for a fulfilling life, it's essential that you stay committed to the tasks and responsibilities that are laid upon you today. God created you and fashioned you on purpose, for a purpose. Your unique skills, dreams, and aspirations were entrusted to you for a reason. Your journey may seem small or mundane at times, but even the smallest steps taken in alignment with your purpose can create remarkable waves of impact. Think of the story of Moses, called to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When God first spoke to Moses, he was a simple shepherd, tending his flock in the wilderness. Yet, in that moment, everything changed. God illuminated the purpose that lay before him, and Moses embraced it with all his heart. He didn't waste time worrying about what lay farther along the road. Instead, he took that first step, trusting that by faithfully serving in the present, the future would unfold as it should. The K.I.S.S. ~ Walk the path of purpose! Similarly, when Jesus called upon his disciples to follow him, he didn't lay out a detailed roadmap of their journey. Instead, he simply asked them to come as they were and follow him obediently. They left their nets, their security, and their comfort to venture into the unknown. Their focus was not on the uncertainties that lay ahead, but on the task at hand - to learn from their master and spread the good news. So, my friend, I urge you to stay close to what you can do today. Give your best to the tasks and responsibilities that are within your reach. Don't allow the weight of the future to hinder your progress in the present. Trust that by living purposefully today, you are aligning yourself with the incredible plan that God has for your life. When you constantly worry about what lies beyond your control, your pile of concerns only grows larger. But as you take courageous steps in the present moment, laying down foundations and seizing opportunities, doors begin to open, and close. God's promises are not reserved for a distant tomorrow; they are here, now, waiting to be embraced. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:34: "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." You have been given this day, this moment, to lead and make a difference. So, my friend, let go of the burdens you cannot control and focus on what you can do today. Embrace the journey and walk your path of purpose. "Be present. Be incredible.

Embracing change is not always an easy task. It requires a mindset shift, a willingness to let go of the familiar, and a flexible approach to navigate through the unknown; the art of adaptability. While change can be intimidating, learning to adapt is a superpower that can propel you forward and help you thrive even in the most uncertain times. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co How do you handle circumstances when you're not in control? When things happen, and all you can do is stand frozen? Trying to find our stride in life is a challenge. A lot of it is by trial and error. And there's nothing wrong with that. However, if you want to keep going after your calling, your dreams, and your goals, you've got to embrace the art of adaptability. And when you do that, not only does your perspective change, but so does your opportunities. It's time to get creative. The K.I.S.S. ~ Get creative! 1. Embrace Your Mind (The Power of Mindset) In the face of change, your mindset becomes your compass. Instead of resisting or fearing the unknown, shift your perspective to view change as an opportunity for growth and learning. Recognize that change is inevitable and take control by adopting a positive and flexible mindset. Believe in your ability to adapt, and remind yourself that challenges are stepping stones towards a brighter future. Remember, you have the power to shape your reality by choosing how you perceive and respond to change. 2. Foster Resilience through Continuous Learning Adaptability is not about merely surviving change; it's about thriving in it. To build resilience, actively seek out opportunities to learn and develop new skills. Be open to acquiring knowledge and embracing new ideas. Cultivate a growth mindset that allows you to see change as a chance for personal and professional growth. Embrace curiosity and a hunger for knowledge, as these qualities will equip you to tackle any challenge that comes your way. 3. Cultivate Flexibility and Agility Flexibility is key to adaptability. Train yourself to be nimble and adjust to changing circumstances with ease. One way to do this is by practicing flexibility in your daily routines. Challenge yourself to take different routes to work, try new activities, or explore alternative solutions to problems. By exposing yourself to various situations and approaches, you become more adaptable and are better equipped to respond to unexpected changes. Embrace the unknown, and let go of the need for absolute control. Remember, the more adaptable you become, the more equipped you are to create positive outcomes in uncertain times. Adaptability is a superpower that can serve you in ways you may have never imagined. Change does not have to derail your dreams; instead, it can be the catalyst that ignites the spark within you. Let the art of adaptability explode, empowering you to rise above challenges and experience incredible growth. As the poet Rumi once wrote, "When the winds of change blow, some people build walls, while others build windmills." Embrace the windmills within you, harness the power of adaptability, and watch as you thrive amidst the uncertainties of life. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life. ~ Psalm 143:8 In the midst of life's storms, we can often find ourselves feeling lost, searching for guidance and reassurance. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Even David, a man after God's own heart, sought daily affirmation of God's love and direction. Like him, you too can turn to your Heavenly Father, seeking His divine path in moments of doubt and uncertainty. So, as you embark on this journey, remember the powerful prayer and cry out, "God, show me the way." This plea is not a passive request, but an active declaration of your dependence on God. It signifies your willingness to act, to make decisions, and to move forward in the direction that He points to. Just as David found comfort and strength in perceiving God's love as the morning light that breaks through the darkest night, you too desire to experience His love at the start of each day. In looking at Psalm 143:8, let the words resonate deeply within your soul, reminding you of the need for God's constant love and guidance. By seeking God's love in the morning, you embody His presence, regardless of the challenges you may face. Imagine God's love as a guiding force, a compass pointing you in the right direction. With His love as your True North, you can navigate the uncertainties of life with confidence and peace. Whether you are struggling with personal setbacks, facing difficult decisions, or feeling overwhelmed by the weight of the world, God's love is ever-present, ready to illuminate the path before you. The K.I.S.S. ~ Show me the way! When you acknowledge your dependence on God and actively seek His guidance, you open yourself up to what God has in store for you. His love is not merely a source of comfort but a catalyst for growth, transformation, and purpose. God has placed a call on your life. As you submit yourself to His will, you'll discover that His plans for you are far greater than anything we could ever imagine. In times of darkness, doubt, or pain, hold fast to David's prayer and make it your own. Just as he trusted in God's unfailing love, so too can you embrace HIs divine gift of love and grace as you follow His lead. Start each day by whispering, "Lord, show me the way." Let His love be the beacon that guides you, the compass that steers you, and the pillar of strength that sustains you. In this surrender, you find freedom, purpose, and an unbreakable connection with your risen Lord and Savior. Embrace His love, for it is the key that unlocks the doors of your heart and leads you on the journey He has planned for you. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🔔 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

It's not uncommon for couples to feel like they are losing their connection with each other. If you want to rebuild your connection in your marriage, it just might be shaped by the bed. The demands of everyday life can take their toll, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and forgetting about our sweethearts. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, taking intentional action can help rebuild that connection and create a stronger foundation for your marriage. If you want to build a stronger connection, cozy on up. The K.I.S.S. ~ Cozy on up! 1. Prioritize Quality Time: Creating a space and time for quality moments together is essential in rejuvenating your connection. Set aside distractions such as phones, work, or other obligations and dedicate specific moments to simply being present with each other. Whether it's engaging in deep conversations, cozying up to watch a movie, or engaging in activities that bring you joy, these deliberate actions can help reignite the spark and enhance your emotional bond. 2. Intimacy Beyond Physicality: While physical intimacy plays a significant role in any romantic relationship, it's important to recognize that intimacy goes beyond just the act itself. Explore different ways to connect emotionally and spiritually in the bedroom. Holding hands, cuddling, practicing mindfulness exercises, or engaging in activities like massage can foster a deeper connection and increase feelings of intimacy. Experiment with what feels comfortable for both of you and find new ways to express your love and appreciation. 3. Open Communication: One of the most vital components of any relationship is effective communication. In the bedroom, this means creating a safe and open space to express desires, needs, and concerns. Encourage each other to share fantasies, discuss boundaries, and express any emotional or physical changes that may impact your intimacy. Honest and open communication builds trust and understanding, allowing you to navigate challenges together and strengthen your emotional connection. Rebuilding connection in a relationship takes intentional effort and a focus on creating a strong foundation. By prioritizing quality time, exploring different forms of intimacy beyond physicality, and fostering open communication, couples can reshape their marriage into the fulfilling and loving partnership they desire. Remember, rebuilding connection is a continuous journey, and by nurturing your relationship in the bedroom, you can build a stronger bond that permeates every aspect of your life. "Be present.
