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.

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.

With all that is happening in our children's lives, it's essential we, as parents, teach them how to make decisions that complement their values and character. The power of choices. It's in these choices that they can bear fruit in their lives. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co By encouraging our children to make the right decisions, we can guide them towards a path of a better, healthier, and happier life. There is quite a significance in making good choices, the consequences of bad choices, and then, being confident in the choices they make. It's all in the journey of doing good. The K.I.S.S. ~ Journey of doing good! 1. Harvest the Fruits of Good Choices It is crucial to empower our children with the understanding that choosing to do the right thing is always beneficial. Good choices yield positive outcomes that can enhance various aspects of their lives. By making decisions aligned with their values, goals, and morals, your children set themselves up for a future filled with opportunities, personal growth, and fulfillment. Emphasize the importance of integrity, kindness, and responsibility, as these virtues are the foundation for making positive choices that lead to a fruitful and purposeful life. 2. Navigate Away from Destructive Paths Children may sometimes be enticed by the allure of what seems like "fun" that arises from making questionable choices. However, it is vital to remind them of the potential consequences and long-term damage such decisions can bring. Guide them to understand that bad choices may initially appear enticing, but ultimately lead to a path of destruction, regret, and missed opportunities. By using real-life examples and engaging them in open conversations, you can help your children develop critical thinking skills that will enable them to discern between right and wrong, ensuring they make choices that align with their values and long-term well-being. 3. Encourage to Stay the Course In a world where peer pressure and societal norms can sway our children's decisions, it is essential to instill in them the importance of perseverance. Introduce them to the empowering words of the apostle Paul in Galatians 6:9 (NIV),"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." --Where he reminds believers not to become weary in doing good. Encourage our children to stay true to their values, dreams, and aspirations, even when faced with challenges or temptations. By teaching them the value of persistence and resilience, you're equipping them to overcome obstacles and create a future where they reap the rewards of their unwavering commitment to making good choices. As parents, we possess a unique opportunity to guide our children towards a fruitful and fulfilling future. By emphasizing the significance of their choices and the impact these choices can have, we empower our children to make decisions that align with their values and aspirations. Bad or wrong choices always seem easier. Encourage them to persevere and rise above the allure of immediate gratification and the ease of less work, while reminding them to stay focused on their long-term goals. Nurture an environment filled with support, understanding, and open communication, ensuring your children have the tools they need to navigate life's complexities with wisdom and integrity. Together, let us sow the seeds of good choices, enabling our children to reap the bountiful harvest of a remarkable life. "Be present. Be incredible.

"Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt." ~ William Shakespeare In the vast expanse of human existence, fear has often served as an unwelcome companion, lurking in the shadows, casting doubt upon our pursuits and aspirations. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co It is not uncommon for you to hesitate, to question yourself, to let fear dictate your actions, or, rather, your lack thereof. Yet, in those moments of trepidation, it's easy to forget the immense potential that lies dormant within us - the potential to conquer, to achieve, to prevail. Your doubts are nothing but traitors that sabotage your chances of attaining greatness. Shadows of doubt may appear formidable, but they are nothing more than illusions, attempting to deceive us into believing that we are not capable, not worthy, not deserving of success. However, every great achievement in human history has been born from the audacity to confront those doubts head-on, to cast them aside, and embrace the exhilarating uncertainty of taking a leap of faith. Fear is a natural instinct, deeply embedded within our primitive beings. It once protected us from dire consequences, from lurking dangers in the unknown-- the lions, and tigers and bears, OH MY!! But as humanity evolved, so too did the challenges we faced. No longer were we threatened by predatory beasts or mighty floods; our battlefields shifted to the realms of intellect, creativity, and innovation. The K.I.S.S. ~ Win by fearing to attempt! Yet, fear still clings to us, attempting to hold us back from reaching our full potential. It whispers in our ears, "What if you fail?" "What if you're not good enough?" "What if others judge you?" And in these moments, it takes a Herculean effort to push past the weight of doubt and embrace the beauty of our own capabilities. You need a football team or an army to come push past this extreme wall. You must remind yourself that fear is not a foe to be conquered but a companion to be acknowledged. It is in those moments of fear, when our hearts race and our palms sweat, that we must recognize the very essence of our humanity. For it is within the realm of fear that we discover our true potential - the strength to overcome, the resilience to persist, and the courage to grasp the opportunities that lie before us. You have that within you-- YES!! Every day!! Life is a tapestry of experiences, interwoven with both triumphs and failures. But it is in the face of fear that you find the truest measure of your character. Embracing the unknown, taking a step forward despite the uncertainties that lie ahead - that is the very essence of progress. The good we oft might win, the victories we might attain, they are inaccessible if we let fear dictate our actions. So, do not cower in the face of doubt. Do not be paralyzed by the fear of failure. Instead, honor your potential, acknowledge your doubts, and take that leap of faith in pursuit of greatness. In the end, dear friends, it is not the absence of fear that defines you, but your ability to rise above it, to harness its energy, and transform it into the fuel that propels you forward. Our doubts, indeed, are traitors, but they need not rob you of the good that awaits you. So, cast aside the shackles of fear and embark upon the journey of a lifetime. For it is in daring to attempt that you find the truest expression of who you are becoming and the boundless possibilities that await you on the other side. Win by fearing to attempt! "Be present.

Exercise is beneficial for our health; but are you exercising too much? Although it may be hard to imagine, overexercising can have detrimental effects on your body and overall health. As someone who experienced the consequences firsthand, I can assure you that overexercising can have negative effects on your body and overall well-being. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Let's explore the symptoms of over-exercising and how to find the right balance. The K.I.S.S. ~ Find the right balance! 1. Recognize the Symptoms of Over-Exercising Overexercising not only leaves you feeling fatigued and tired, but your body is constantly sore and achy. You may lose the excitement and motivation to continue your workouts. Surprisingly, overdoing it with exercise can even lead to weight gain, sleep deprivation, and an increase in body fat. For some, this can be a frustrating setback because they're not seeing the progress they desire. It's essential to understand that pushing harder and longer may not always be the solution. 2. Find the Right Balance Training and exercise in moderation have a positive impact on your health, hormones, mental well-being, and sleep quality. However, there's a point of diminishing returns if you overexert yourself without allowing your body to rest and recover. Each person's need for rest may vary, so it's crucial to listen to your body. While your friend may need only a few hours of recovery, you might require a full day. Finding the right balance between exercise and rest will prevent adrenal fatigue and insufficiency. These conditions occur when your adrenals no longer produce enough cortisol and adrenaline. 3. Embrace Daily Gentle Exercise Exercise every day – that's the key. But remember that exercise doesn't always have to be intense or rigorous. Incorporating gentle activities into your routine, such as 20 minutes of stretching, a walking meditation, low-impact tabata, tai chi, or cycling workouts, can be equally beneficial. By engaging in these activities daily and giving your body time to rest and heal, you will continue to make progress toward your goals while prioritizing your overall health. Now that you're aware of the dangers of over-exercising and the importance of finding balance, it's time to take the next steps towards a healthier lifestyle. Remember, moderation and self-care are crucial on your journey toward optimal well-being. "Be present. Be incredible.

Do you hold onto things that cause you hurt and heartache? As life's journey twists and turns, there is no reason to be trapped in the burn. Rise above the grudge. Along the way, we encounter people who betray us, hurt us, and let us down. It's going to happen. But what truly matters is how we choose to respond to these moments of pain. 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 allows them to consume you and hinder your progress? Or do you let go, freeing yourself to pursue your goals and dreams? Holding onto a grudge is like carrying a heavy burden on your shoulders. It weighs you down, draining you of energy and preventing you from moving forward. Instead of focusing on what truly matters – your own growth and happiness – you become obsessed with the thoughts and actions of those who have wronged you. You replay the hurtful moments over and over in your mind, allowing them to become the center of your attention. But what do we gain from holding onto this bitterness? The truth is, nothing positive can come from harboring grudges. It only perpetuates a cycle of negativity, trapping you in a web of resentment. And in the process, you lose sight of your own potential and what you can achieve. The K.I.S.S. ~ Rise above the grudge! Letting go of a grudge doesn't mean you forget what happened or that you condone the behavior. It means that you choose not to let it define you. You recognize that your energy is better spent on things that uplift you and bring you joy. By releasing the grudge, you create space for healing, personal growth, and the pursuit of your dreams. Imagine a life free from the weight of resentment. A life where you are no longer tethered to the past, but instead, fully present in the possibilities of the future. This is the power of forgiveness and the key to unlocking your true potential. So, let go of the grudge that holds you back. Forgive those who have wronged you, not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace and freedom. Embrace the life that awaits you beyond the confines of bitterness and negativity. Poem: Rise Above the Grudge by Kristianne Wargo In the depths of darkness, a grudge may reside, But within our hearts, it need not confide. For we are warriors, strong and brave, Choosing to let go, to forgive and pave. The path to greatness lies beyond the pain, Where dreams are waiting, eager to reign. With every step we take, we rise above, Leaving behind the grudge, embracing love. No longer tethered to the burdens of old, We soar and flourish, our spirit bold. For in forgiveness, freedom is found, And our dreams, once lost, are now unbound. So let go, dear soul, release the grudge, Embrace the journey, let love be the judge. For in the pursuit of dreams, our truth we find, And to heights unreachable, our spirits are aligned. "Be present. Be incredible.

In the journey towards success, the path is often paved with drills and skills that are essential for reaching your goals. If you want to satisfy your hunger for growth, don't lose sight. However, it's all too easy to lose sight of these crucial steps along the way. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Without maintaining a steadfast focus, our ambitions can slip away, and our progress can stagnate. You have probably watched a football game or two in your lifeline. As I was watching BYU and the Arkansas Razorbacks, what seemed like impossible throws to catch ended up being some incredible finger-tipped, one-handed catch. I don't even think the player could believe what happened. But the one thing that made all the difference was that the players kept their eyes on the ball. In this article, we will explore three key strategies to help individuals keep their eyes on the ball, staying committed to executing the necessary drills and skills in order to reach their goals. The K.I.S.S. ~ Keep your eyes on the ball! You need to know the game plan, so you can then execute it to the best of your ability with your skills and drills. Strategy 1: Cultivate a Clear Vision The first step in keeping our eyes on the ball is to cultivate a clear vision of what you're aiming to achieve. By creating a vivid mental image of your goals, you provide yourself with a compass that keeps you on track amidst distractions and setbacks. As Proverbs 29:18 states, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." By having a strong vision, you empower yourself with purpose and direction, enabling you to persevere in the face of adversity. Strategy 2: Embrace Consistent Practice Consistent practice is the cornerstone of executing the drills and skills necessary for goal attainment. It is here that commitment is crucial, as it requires discipline and dedication to stick to a regular routine. As the great basketball player, Michael Jordan, once said, "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." Michael Jordan reminds us that without consistent practice, success remains elusive. By embracing a commitment to regular practice, you lay the foundation for mastery and continuous improvement. Strategy 3: Develop Resilience and Perseverance Along the path to achieving your goals, setbacks and obstacles are inevitable. It is during these challenging moments that resilience and perseverance become crucial in keeping your eyes on the ball. By maintaining a resilient mindset, you bounce back from failures and setbacks, learning from them rather than allowing them to discourage you. Perseverance, as Philippians 3:14 reminds us, "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus," fuels our determination to stay on course despite difficulties. Together, resilience and perseverance support you in weathering the storm and staying committed to executing the necessary drills and skills toward your goals. In the pursuit of your goals, it is essential that you don't lose sight of the drills and skills required for success. And when you practice what we discussed above, you solidify your commitment to staying focused and executing the necessary steps.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. ~ Galatians 6:9 (NIV) In a culture that thrives on instant gratification and quick results, it can be disheartening when your efforts, especially in your journey of faith, don't yield immediate fruit. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co You desire instant transformation, instant answers to prayer, and instant confirmation that you are on the right path. But it is during these moments that Galatians 6:9 resonates deeply within your soul, reminding you to persist and trust in God. The journey of faith is a marathon, not a sprint. These words remind you that your walk with God is not a short, fleeting race but rather an enduring journey that requires persistence, patience, and unwavering trust. It's easy to grow weary, to question your efforts, and to doubt whether your labor of love is being noticed. However, in those moments, God gently whispers to your soul, "Hang on, child. Your labor is not in vain." This verse from Galatians challenges you to redefine your understanding of reward. Our world teaches us that success is measured by quick returns and immediate gratification. But God invites you to find your ultimate fulfillment in His everlasting arms. He urges you to choose His timing over your impatience, assuring you that your harvest will come—and when it does, it will surpass your wildest dreams. The K.I.S.S. ~ Reap a harvest! So, what areas of your life require more patience and perseverance? Are you facing challenges in relationships, your career, or personal growth? Whatever the circumstances may be, remember that God's timing is perfect, even when it tests your patience. Take heart, dear friend, for your harvest is on its way. In those moments of waiting, let us press on and sow seeds of love, kindness, and faith. Cultivate the soil of your heart with prayer, seek wisdom through His Word, and serve others selflessly. Remember that faith without action is merely a wish, but faith coupled with patience and perseverance brings forth a bountiful harvest. In the face of challenges, seek God's strength. Pray earnestly for His guidance. Lean on His promise that He will never leave nor forsake you. It is through your reliance on His strength that you find the endurance to keep running the race, even when the path seems long and rugged. So, my friend, do not lose heart. Have faith in the process and the journey. Trust that God is working behind the scenes, aligning everything perfectly for His purpose. Your labor of love is not in vain. Your harvest will come, and it will be more abundant, fulfilling, and beautiful than you can ever imagine. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." ~ Galatians 6:9 May this verse from Galatians be a gentle reminder to persevere, to find joy in the present, and to place your hope in the One who holds your future.

"Love knows no bounds when compassion leads the way. In the dance of compromise, married couples gracefully step towards a harmonious union, weaving understanding and empathy into the fabric of their relationship." Marriage is a beautiful journey that requires nurturing, understanding, and compassion. As couples embark on this lifelong adventure together, learning to compromise is often emphasized. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But as you know, compromise feels like you are selling yourself short. How fair is that to sell yourself short and always make it about the other spouse? Now that is what we should do. Yet the ego in us forces the feeling that if you can't get what you want, is it worth doing what your spouse wants? However, when you went from "me to we", you made a commitment to love well, serve well, and lead well in your marriage. So, instead of feeling like you are selling yourself short when you are doing something for your spouse, look at compromise more through the lens of compassion; serving with a tender-heartedness. It's not about being right or trying to make things work only the way that serves you most. You are now a couple, and that means you have to think in a different way. Why not bolster the bonds of love and deepen the connection? Offer compassion to love well. The K.I.S.S. ~ Offer compassion to love well! 1. Ask how you can serve him/her today It's hard to know what your spouse needs unless you ask. So ask every day. This will lead to better communication, and you will know upfront what matters to them most based on your conversation. 2. Serve well with win-win solutions Rather than looking at a situation as one-sided, strive for win-win solutions that take into account both your interests and your spouse's. Explore creative alternatives that can fulfill both your desires to a certain extent. By brainstorming and collaboratively problem-solving, you can discover solutions that blend your individual perspectives, demonstrating compassion for one another's desires and aspirations. As American author and speaker Zig Ziglar pointed out, "You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want." 3. Embrace flexibility and adaptability Compromise in marriage does not mean abandoning your own desires completely, but rather maintaining a willingness to be flexible and adaptable. Recognize that change is inevitable and that your priorities may shift over time. Embrace the ebb and flow of life together with your life partner, adjusting your expectations and goals as needed to support each other's growth. As author and motivational speaker Brian Tracy emphasized, "Flexibility is the key to the door of success; without it, compromise becomes a lock, hindering progress and growth." By focusing on these three strategies—you can shift your mindset towards compassion and away from feeling like you're compromising at the expense of your own interests. Remember, in a loving marriage, the aim is for both partners to thrive and find harmony, ultimately creating a balanced and compassionate relationship. "Be present. Be incredible.
