Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Life is a remarkable journey; a rollercoaster worth the ride. Within all this beautiful chaos, there's no better way to preserve the essence of your experiences than to write your story. "A life worth living is a life worth recording." - Jim Rohn Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Journaling holds the key to capturing these moments and cherishing them for years to come. It is a practice that allows you to reflect, grow, and create a living legacy. Whether in the form of a personal diary or a collection of thoughts, journaling offers a profound opportunity for introspection and self-discovery. It serves as a mirror, reflecting our innermost thoughts, emotions, and aspirations. Through the act of putting pen to paper, you embark on a voyage of self-reflection, personal growth and development, and healing. When you reflect upon your journeys, you gain valuable insights into your life. You identify patterns, recognize areas for improvement, and celebrate your accomplishments. Journaling becomes a powerful tool to realign your actions with your aspirations. It helps you prioritize what truly matters and navigate the labyrinth of life with intention and purpose, those mazes were you get lost too often. In the busyness of your life, journaling makes a way to be present and mindful. Slow down. Take a moment and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you. By documenting even the simplest of joys and expressing gratitude for what you have, you cultivate a deeper sense of contentment and fulfillment. The K.I.S.S. ~ Write your story! Beyond the realm of self-reflection, when you write your story, it holds the power to heal. It becomes a safe space where you can pour your emotions onto the pages and untangle the complexities that life presents. It's in your writing that you give yourself permission to express feelings of happiness, sadness, frustration, or hope. As you witness your thoughts and emotions on paper, you gain clarity, find peace, and grow stronger in your emotional well-being. The more you write, the more you see your unique perspectives, values, and lessons for yourself and future generations. Your story becomes a time capsule, allowing those who come after you to gain insight and inspiration from your life. You, my friend, are a living legacy! As fast as the world is changing, writing your story is an anchor amidst the storm. It is a practice that invites you to pause, reflect, and connect with who you are becoming and, more importantly, God. So, let's have a transformative day. Write your story no matter which way. Embrace your stories every day., both big and small. Uncover what's hidden deep within and expose the secrets that will change the world you touch. Leave your indelible mark on this world, for a life worth living is a life worth recording. "Be present. Be incredible.

Who wants to feel bad or feel like nothing matters? Everyone goes through difficult times when they feel stuck, unmotivated, and tired. Even with a great life, you struggle. But don't worry! There's always a way to lift your spirit! Say yes to boost your mood! In your every day, there are so many areas where you can do something to elevate how you feel. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co I want to give you three areas where you can boost your mood: food, fitness, and fellowship. FOOD: Nutritional Delights When it comes to boosting your mood, the food you eat plays a significant role. Certain foods are known to have a positive impact on your brain chemistry and can help improve your overall well-being. Here are 10 mood-boosting foods that will nourish both your body and mind: 1. Dark Chocolate: Indulge in a small piece of dark chocolate to stimulate the release of endorphins, which are chemicals that contribute to feelings of pleasure and happiness. 2. Berries: Packed with antioxidants and vitamins, berries like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries offer a natural boost to mood and cognitive function. 3. Fatty Fish: Fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and boost overall brain health. 4. Leafy Greens: Greens like spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are loaded with folate and other essential nutrients that support the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation. 5. Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients that promote brain health and stability. 6. Avocado: This creamy fruit contains healthy fats, fiber, and various minerals that not only promote a healthy heart but also support brain function and mood stability. 7. Greek Yogurt: Rich in protein, Greek yogurt helps stabilize blood sugar levels and contains amino acids that support the production of mood-boosting neurotransmitters like serotonin. 8. Whole Grains: Complex carbohydrates found in whole grains like oats, quinoa, and brown rice increase the production of serotonin, providing a natural mood lift. 9. Turmeric: This spice contains curcumin, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Consuming turmeric regularly has been linked to improved mood and reduced symptoms of depression. 10. Green Tea: High in antioxidants and containing the amino acid theanine, green tea can help relax the mind, improve focus, and promote a sense of well-being. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! FITNESS: Pump up the Jam Exercising not only benefits our physical health but also has a powerful impact on our mood and mental well-being. Engaging in regular physical activity can help release endorphins, reduce stress, and improve overall mood. Here are 10 mood-boosting exercises that can uplift your spirits and leave you feeling energized: 1. Cardiovascular Exercises: Activities like running, cycling, dancing, or swimming increase your heart rate and promote the release of endorphins, providing an instant mood uplift. 2. Yoga: Known for its focus on breathing and mindfulness, yoga combines gentle movements with deep breathing, helping to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve overall mood. 3. Strength Training: Engage in weightlifting or bodyweight exercises to increase your strength and build endurance. Strength training has been linked to improved self-esteem and confidence, positively impacting mood. 4. Pilates: This low-impact exercise focuses on controlled movements that enhance strength, flexibility, and body awareness. Practicing Pilates can help relieve stress and improve mood. 5. Walking or Hiking: Taking a walk in nature or going for a hike in the mountains can have a profound effect on your mood. Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce feelings of stress and increase feelings of well-being. 6. Dance: Join a dance class or simply dance around your living room to your favorite tunes. Dancing releases endorphins and allows you to express yourself creatively, boosting your mood and spirits. 7. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): Short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods can help release endorphins and provide a sense of accomplishment, leaving you feeling invigorated and positive. 8. Tai Chi: This ancient Chinese martial art combines slow, fluid movements with deep breathing and meditation. Tai Chi promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and enhances overall mood. 9. Group Exercise Classes: Joining group exercise classes, such as spinning, Zumba, or aerobics, not only provides a fun and social element but also boosts your mood through the combination of music, movement, and high energy. 10. Mindful Stretching: Incorporate mindful stretching routines, such as yoga stretches or focused stretching exercises, to release tension, improve flexibility, and promote a sense of calm and well-being. Get moving and start reaping the mood-boosting rewards today! GENERAL EVERY DAY: Uplift Your Spirit These are 10 simple ways to help boost your mood and feel better: 1. Take Deep Breaths - Deep breathing is a great way to calm your mind and relax your body. Inhale for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, and exhale for 5 seconds. 2. Write Your Thoughts - Writing down your thoughts and feelings can help you identify what's bothering you and give you a clear perspective. Try writing in a journal or sending a text to a friend. 3. Listen to Music - Listening to your favorite music can instantly improve your mood. Make a playlist with your favorite songs that make you feel happy and energized. 4. Take a Walk - Taking a walk outside can help clear your mind and recharge your body. Even a short walk around the block can make a big difference. 5. Meditate - Meditation is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety. It can also help you focus on the present moment and increase your overall sense of well-being. 6. Connect with Friends and Loved Ones - Spend time with friends or family members who make you feel happy and supported. Talk about positive things and catch up on each other's lives. 7. Practice Gratitude - Focus on the positive things in your life and practice gratitude. Write down three things you're grateful for every day or send a thank-you note to someone who has helped you recently. 8. Enjoy a Hobby - Dedicate some time to a hobby you enjoy doing, like cooking, baking, painting, or gardening. Hobbies can help you relax and feel fulfilled. 9. Treat Yourself - Treat yourself to something you enjoy, like a delicious meal or your favorite dessert. Do something that makes you happy and feel good. 10. Laugh and Smile: Surround yourself with laughter whenever possible. Watch a funny video clip, read a witty joke, or share a funny anecdote with a friend. Additionally, make a conscious effort to smile more throughout the day. Smiling not only enhances your own mood but also has a contagious effect on others. Now, you don't have an excuse not to boost your mood. Find what works best for you and make it a habit. Remember, you have the power to boost your mood and feel better today! "Train for Life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the constant demands of your busy schedule? Have you ever wondered how to fit in more of what you truly want or need to do? If so, it's time to start asking yourself, "Much or little?" It's easy to get caught up in the pressure to be productive all the time. But if we're always on the go, we risk neglecting our mental and physical health. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co So, take a step back and evaluate what's truly important. What are your priorities, and how can you make time for them? We live in a society that idolizes productivity and multitasking, but at what cost? It's essential to evaluate how much we can realistically take on without sacrificing our mental and physical health. Sometimes, we need to ask ourselves, "Is it worth it?" or "What are the consequences of saying yes?" Remember, you have the power to choose how you spend your precious time. Don't let the fear of missing out or society's expectations dictate your schedule. Instead, prioritize what really matters to you and block out time for those activities. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! "Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment, and to either of these ends, there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing." - Thomas Edison. There is an importance of having a purposeful strategy in our work, rather than just being busy for the sake of it. It emphasizes the need for preparation and planning in order to truly accomplish something meaningful. It ties in with the idea of asking ourselves "much or little" and prioritizing what's truly important, rather than just filling up our schedules with busy work. Our kids complain at school that the only thing they get is busy work from their teachers. Why are we doing this to ourselves after we grow up? (Well, that can be for another episode.) But when you're feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath and remind yourself that less is often more. In fact, slowing down is speeding up. So take those breaks to help you be more productive in the long run. Practice self-care, delegate tasks, and avoid distractions to stay focused on your goals. Whether it's pursuing your passion, spending time with loved ones, or simply taking a few moments to relax, make it a priority. So, ask yourself, "Much or little?" and start making time for the things that truly matter. You've got this! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

The world can seem cold and dark. You might be stuck in the pain, and all you can do is blame. But why give in and complain? Take heart to who matters; you wanna be happy. Happiness is one of those things that when you aren't feeling it, you want to feel it. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co You begin clinging to what you don't have, wishing that all could be different. You take yourself down memory lane (usually too often and too far), and take inventory of all the things where you felt lost, disconnected, unsure of yourself; just questioning everything about everyone, especially yourself. Fear jumps up, front and center, and all you can do is coward back to the corner of rejection and your foolish ways of discounting all that you have to offer the world. Sound all too familiar? Sound a little too close to home? Happiness is not felt, it's created by your actions, thoughts, words; how you communicate with the world you touch. But the first communication has to start inwardly. You have to see the happiness within to be able to give it to others. You know everyone wants to be happy. It's a common thread that runs through all of us. But as you know, happiness is not something that comes naturally to everyone. It's not something that you wait for or hope for. It's not something that falls into your lap. Happiness is a choice, and it's up to you to make it happen. The old saying, "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life," is true. You have to work within your calling, your passion, your gifts and talents, and your interests to be truly happy. When you do what you love, you feel fulfilled, energized, and motivated. You are more likely to create that feeling of bliss, the happiness in your everyday tasks and challenges that come your way. Life comes with a lot of changes. Change is a constant. But one thing that doesn't have to change is how to make a choice and choose to be happy when you create your now. The K.I.S.S. ~ Create your now! You wanna be happy! Your life doesn't have to resemble calm, cool, and collected to be in a happy state. There are many days that I run around going from one project to the next, hoping to keep my mind in place, but happiness still abounds. Happiness is not a choice of when, it's a matter of perspective. 1. Be present Presence conquers fear that lingers in the hallways of your heart. You don't have to have all the money in the world to be happy. But you do have to present in order to use it. Right? You can't interject the feelings of warm snuggles and smiles unless you're present. It's easy to get caught up in worries about the future or regrets about the past. Instead, try to focus on being content in the moment. This might mean taking a few moments to appreciate the beauty of nature, connecting with loved ones, or engaging in a mindfulness or meditation practice. You have to slow down to speed up. Presence also invokes the simplicity of balance. All seems right with your world when you feel like you're in control. Life may be throwing curveballs, yet you're catching everyone of them. Not much has to throw you off base. Be present. 2. Be grateful When you focus on what you are grateful for, it sets the stage for acceptance and genuine compassion for what's to come. As much as you think you're in control, you so are not. You only control yourself. But what you can control is the environment you create around who you are. If you feel welcomed in your own space, imagine how someone will feel welcomed by your grace. So when you step out of your comfort zone with gratitude, the fear of the unknown fades, which makes way for better days. "Gratitude is the spice to keep life nice." ~ Kristianne Wargo Be grateful. 3. Take A.I.M. "Action ignites motivation!" ~ Kristianne Wargo When you have something to work towards, it can help you feel motivated and accomplished. So let your actions and words create your now. Identify what you want in this season of your life. Break them down into smaller, actionable steps. Don't try to do everything in one day! You're fooling yourself. But you can borrow Arnold's movie quote, "I'll be back.". If you did everything in one day, what would you have to look forward to tomorrow? As you take A.I.M. in your every day, you master your life in every way. But don't forget the most important step. In all that you do, do it for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). This is the beginning of choosing to see life in a unique manner, not expecting something from your success or failure, but recognizing that with each step you take, happiness is homemade. The world can seem cold and dark. You might be stuck in the pain, and all you can do is blame. But why give in and complain? Take heart to who matters; you wanna be happy. "Be present. Be incredible.

You treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch. You honor me as Your guest, and You fill my cup until it overflows. Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in Your house, Lord. ~ Psalm 23:5-6 Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Whose door are you knocking on? Are you trying to fit in with everyone else around your neighborhood or in the church? Are you trying to be somebody you're not because you want to feel accepted? God loves you! Just as you are. But you're missing Him because you're chasing the wrong thing, the wrong person. God has an open-door policy for you. He never shuts you out. He has a seat at the table for you. And even though people you thought you could trust hurts you, He's got you. And when your enemies come to beat you down, He meets them with you. The K.I.S.S. ~ Fill my cup! So let me ask you... Who or what are you chasing that is keeping your eyes off of God? Those distractions have got to go. Let God be God! Don't try and be the hero in your own life. Own what you've done, and let God be the hero for you. Ask Him to fill your cup. You can start by saying a prayer and inviting Him into your every day. Don't assume that He's going to be a bully and wreck your day to get your attention. He wants you to intentionally follow Him and ask Him to fill your cup. So when life gets a little crazy, simply repeat this verse. 5 You treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch. You honor me as Your guest, and You fill my cup until it overflows. 6 Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in your house, Lord. ~ Psalm 23:5-6 PRAYER: May your heart beat for the love of Christ, and may your schedule be to dine with Him every day.

Marriage is a beautiful bond between two people. But maybe you're ready for an upgrade, thinking the grass is always greener on the other side when it comes to your spouse. Often, the best way to upgrade your relationship is to upgrade yourself. When you think about it, as two people come together, each with their own set of beliefs, values, and habits, there will inevitably be disagreements, misunderstandings, and hurt feelings. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co However, it is how we overcome these challenges that can make or break the marriage. So instead of viewing the difficulties of marriage as a sign that something is wrong with our spouse, we should consider it as an opportunity for growth and self-improvement. By upgrading ourselves, we can improve the overall quality of our relationship and experience deeper love and connection with our partner. Now one reason why you should consider upgrading yourself in your marriage is that you have the most control over yourself and your actions. It's easy to blame your spouse for the problems in the relationship, but if you take responsibility for your own growth and improvement, you can create positive changes that will benefit you both. Yet, if you keep doing things the same way, you can't expect different results. Coming from this perspective, too, upgrading ourselves can lead to greater satisfaction and happiness in our own lives. When we take the time to work on personal growth and development, we cultivate a sense of calling, fulfillment, and inner peace that can have a positive impact on all areas of our lives, including our relationships. So now that you're ready for an upgrade, and no, not a new spouse, how can you upgrade? Change your reflection! The K.I.S.S. ~ Change your reflection! And please know, this has nothing to do with the way you look, your shape, or your size. This is about how you show up in your everyday dealing with what comes your way today. 1. Communicate in love, and more effectively Communication is essential in any relationship, but it's particularly critical in a marriage. Make time to talk to your spouse every day. Ask questions, listen to their responses, and respond with empathy and compassion. Communication is about comprehension. Understand to the fullest. 2. Show appreciation unexpectedly It's easy to take your spouse for granted and only focus on their faults. You knock them down more than you build them up. But if you want to upgrade your relationship, it's important to appreciate the things your spouse does well. Take the time to acknowledge and thank your partner for the things they do for you. 3. Prioritize intimacy daily Marriage is more than just a friendship or companionship. Physical intimacy is a crucial aspect of a healthy relationship. Make time for intimacy, whether it's a date night or just cuddling on the couch. When we prioritize intimacy, we deepen our emotional connection with our spouse. 4. Work on your personal development and growth When you work on your personal development, you become better a person, which translates into becoming a better spouse. Take time to work on who you are becoming, know where you fall short, prioritize self-care, and challenge yourself to be better today than yesterday. When you take care of yourself, you bring more to the relationship table. 5. Practice forgiveness for yourself and let go of grudges that you hold Forgiveness is essential in any relationship, but it's particularly critical in a marriage. Holding onto resentment and grudges can hinder growth and progress in yourself. If you can't let go of things for yourself, you will not be able to let go of things done to you. Practice forgiveness, especially for the smaller things. All of this leads to loving your reflection. The more you love yourself, the more love you have to give away. Marriage is an ongoing journey. Love grows where love is planted. There are always new ways to upgrade and improve. But by focusing on your reflection, you will experience deeper love and stronger connections. So, what are you waiting for? It's time for an upgrade! "Be present. Be incredible.

Summer is a season that brings joy and memories to many of us, and it's especially important for parents who have children. Stop and think. How many summers do you have left with your kids? The reality is that you only have 18 summers with your children before they grow up and leave the nest, or at least they're more on their own and less dependent on you. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co During this time, these are formative years that help to shape your children, and it's important to make the most of those years. But sometimes, life gets in the way. Between the laundry and dishes, you've got education and tires to replace. That's what I found myself working on the last few days. Two vehicles, 8 new tires. However, we can't get entangled with only the mundane things that pull us away from the little things that matter most in the long run. Your children need you!! And believe it or not, you need your children. My children have taught me so much about myself that, at times, it's pretty scary. Just look in the cute mirror you brought into the world. How are you spending your summers? Just a couple of days ago, it was the summer solstice; the longest day of the year and the first official day of summer. How did you spend that day? What I am finding is that families are being challenged in what they do together, because so much is brought to us at our fingertips. Look at our technological advancements. So if you want to be a part of your child's life more so than just a disciplinarian, you have to be intentional about how you spend your time together, especially your summers. You only have a total of 18 and counting. Now, I get that you will still have summers together after they move out. But it's not the same. Your greatest influence is created in the four walls you live in. And that comes from their formative young child-rearing years. So, what can you do to create memories, build strong relationships, and raise your kids well every summer? You've gotta come together to stay together. The K.I.S.S. ~ Come together! It doesn't have to break the bank. I really want you to think about some out-of-the-box ideas. Go beyond the norm. Because that's where your memories will be born. 1. Create a Summer Bucket List: Sit down with your kids and create a list of things you all want to do over the summer. This can include things like visiting a new museum or theme park, camping, or trying a new restaurant. 2. Plan a Family Staycation: You don't need to travel far to have a great summer vacation. Explore your city, plan a day trip, or even just have a movie marathon at home. The important thing is to spend quality time together as a family. 3. Get Outside: There's no better way to enjoy the summer sun than to spend time outdoors. Take a hike, go for a bike ride, or have a picnic in the park. "Don't let money get in the way of what matters." ~ Kristianne Wargo 4. Learn Something New: Summer is a great time to dive into a new hobby or skill. Take a cooking class, learn how to paint, or start a new sport together. 5. Volunteer Together: Volunteering as a family not only helps others in need, but also teaches your kids valuable life lessons. Help out at a local food bank or animal shelter, or participate in a beach clean up. Summer is great for memories to be made. It's usually a time of calm and adventure. So create an environment where your children can thrive and grow up to become productive adults. Every summer provides an opportunity to build strong relationships and create lasting memories with our children that will last a lifetime. Don't take the summers you have with your kiddos for granted. Embrace every summer and make the most of the time you have together. So what will you start planning today to make this summer the best one yet? "Be present. Be incredible.

Even when life becomes a little rocky, you are called to utilize your gifts and share your talents. Don't worry about a thing. When the going gets tough, hold the line. Life is always going to have ups and downs. Maybe yesterday was one of those days. If you had young children, the longest day of the year is not always the best. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co Isn't bedtime yet? Yes, we giggle a little. But it's the truth. You can't control the weather, what happens to you, or what happens around you. However, you can control your response. Hold the line. The K.I.S.S. ~ Hold the line! Believe it or not, you are stronger than you think you are. You can handle much more than what you think you can. Think of it this way. When you feel like giving up, it means persevering. It means staying in the game even when you want to quit. It means refusing to give up because you believe in yourself, and you believe in your dreams. Holding the line isn't always easy. It requires you to keep moving forward, even when you feel like you're not making any progress. But the truth is, every step you take is one step closer to achieving your goals. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo You need to remember that even if you fail, it doesn't mean you label yourself as a failure. Every obstacle is a teachable moment. You have the opportunity to learn and grow. Look at it this way. As my good friend, Dan Miller says, "What does this make possible?" You get to choose to those experiences to become stronger and more resilient. "Resilience does not happen because life is easy. Resilience comes with resistance." ~ Kristianne Wargo Become unstoppable. Hold the line. So today, start by taking that next step. No matter how small it may seem, it is a step in the right direction. Then, be present. We don't worry about what's next or what's behind you. Stay in the present and be intentional about making the most of every opportunity. Peter Gabriel said, "I hold the line, the line of strength that pulls me from the fear." Now Gabriel is an English musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He rose to fame as the original lead singer of the progressive rock band Genesis. What I found very interesting is his early influences. And he said, "Hymns played quite a large part. They were the closest I came to soul music before I discovered soul music. There are certain hymns that you can scream your lungs out on, and I used to love that. It was great when you used to get the old shivers down the back." Take a page out from Peter Gabriel. Make a little soul noise. Lean on God's strength. You don't have to hold the line alone. God's got you! "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

It's easy to become obsessed with the number on the scale, especially when you've been taught to associate your worth with your weight. Are you afraid of the scale? Losing weight and living a healthy life is challenging, especially for those of us who are afraid of the scale. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co But the truth is, your weight is just a number. While it's important to know where you stand in terms of your weight and overall health, it's equally important to focus on the lifestyle you're creating over time with consistent actions. How long has it taken you to get to where you are today? If you're talking about a decade, then why do you want to lose weight in 3 months? Come on! Let's use a little common sense so we don't become obsessive over the number on the scale. Now, you've probably heard the basics of reaching your desirable weight. Set realistic and achievable goals Track your progress Focus on the benefits Don't compare yourself to others Patience is key All of that sounds wonderful. But in a practical sense, it's a bunch of hogwash! How many times have you found yourself in that position, yet not reaching what you were going after? Healthy living is beyond tough. And there are so many temptations that lure you in the wrong direction. So let's take a different approach. Extinguish all temptations! The K.I.S.S. ~ Extinguish all temptations! And that might be getting rid of the children. Just kidding!! We love them, but we do cook for them. However, I want you to look at your environment. What needs to change that you can control? Now that's an important factor. We can want to go away for months or a year, and do our own thing. But realistically... not gonna happen! Kitchen - What can be tossed away or cleaned out? Maybe you create your own cabinet or area. Get rid of the stuff in the pantry that doesn't serve you. Replace it with only what you need for a week, at most 2 weeks at a time. Game Room or Movie Theatre or Family - Do you have snacks readily available? Maybe you have a small fridge that needs to be stocked differently. Bedroom - Where are your mirrors? Maybe you can strategically place them so you are NOT obsessed with the process of healthy living. Move the full-length mirror to another room and use it only when absolutely necessary. Closest - How many clothes are hanging up that you can't wear; too small or too big? Clear out the clothes that don't fit. You can choose to donate some if you want. Or pack them away for 6 months. You will know when your body is changing. Then you can go shopping in your own storage area. Patio - Is the furniture comfortable for you now? Depending on your size, you may not want to sit where you used to hang out. So change up the area. Don't spend a lot of money, but get a chair you want to be in. Who doesn't need to be outside for some Vitamin D? Refrigerator - What can you replace for your easy grabs? Bedroom - How does your bedroom make you feel? If you are one who doesn't sleep well and there is extra tension, that in itself can lead to stress and an increase in cortisol. Extinguish the temptations! Get rid of what's not serving you. It might be a forever goodbye. Or it might be a "See ya later, alligator." Doing what seems obvious might be the most challenging of you reaching your goals. And keep in mind. You are looking at a lifestyle. This is a long-term commitment. Don't rush what needs to be built over time. You got this! "Train for life.

Life is a bumpy road that challenges us, tests us, and brings us to our knees at times. But it is also full of potential and endless possibilities. You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one. Every day presents new opportunities to start afresh, to begin a new chapter, and to rewrite our stories. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co The journey is waiting for us to embrace and explore it. As we embark on this journey called life, we are bound to meet obstacles and roadblocks. It may seem easy to dwell on what went wrong in your past, but the truth is that looking back only confuses the direction you're headed. You become so consumed with your mistakes, failures, and missed opportunities that you forget to look ahead and move forward. It's time to let go of the past and start the next chapter of your life. The K.I.S.S. ~ Start the next chapter! Yes, it may be scary to take that first step but do it anyway. You never know what amazing things could be waiting for you on the other side. Dig in deep and press ahead. The only way to make progress is to keep moving forward. Believe in yourself and trust that you are capable of achieving greatness. The journey may be long and arduous, but remember that every small step counts. Even the tiniest step can lead to a better tomorrow. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo This is a chance to rewrite your story, to create a tale full of adventure, joy, and success. Don't let your fears, doubts, or past define who you are and what you can achieve. Life is full of surprises, and it's up to us to make the most of them. Start the next chapter and be the author of your own story. It's never too late to follow your dreams and find fulfillment in life. The time is now. The opportunity is yours. Life is a journey with endless paths, and it is up to you to decide which direction you're headed. Instead of dwelling on your past, you must embrace the present and start the next chapter of your life. Believe in yourself, have faith in your abilities, and embark on this new adventure with hope and enthusiasm. Remember, every small step counts. Let's make this next chapter the best one yet.
