    3444 The Strength of Patience

    3444 The Strength of Patience

    How much do you fill your day with sugar just to get through it? What if you could have a sugar that feeds your heart and soul? In the meantime of life, rely on God's presence and the strength of patience. You're busy. The feelings of overwhelm drain you and cause you to become weary.

    We crave instant results, instant gratification, and instant relief from our stresses. We want everything to happen quickly, seamlessly, and effortlessly. But what if I told you that the key to finding true strength, peace, and resilience lies not in the rush to the finish line, but in the gentle art of patience?
    The K.I.S.S. ~ The strength of patience! Patience is not about idly sitting by, waiting for life to happen. It's about actively trusting in God's timing, surrendering our impatience and worries to Him, and embracing the journey with grace and humility.
    In the words of the prophet Isaiah, "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." ~ Isaiah 40:31
    This is a great reminder that true strength comes from placing our trust in God's plan, even when we can't see the road ahead.
    Life's challenges may test our patience, push us to our limits, and leave us feeling exhausted and defeated. But in those moments of struggle, it is our unwavering faith and patience that sustain us, lift us up, and carry us through the storm. As we navigate the twists and turns of our journey, we must remember that the path to true peace and contentment is paved with moments of waiting, trusting, and believing.
    So, take a deep breath, dear friend, and lean into the strength of patience. Embrace the unknown with an open heart, knowing that every delay, setback, and obstacle is a stepping stone on the path to your journey of greatness. Allow patience to be your guiding light, your source of inner peace, and your wellspring of resilience. Remember, as I always say, "In the quiet space of waiting, you find the strength to soar."
    May your heart be filled with faith, your spirit be lifted by hope, and your soul be anchored in patience. Trust in the journey, trust in yourself, and trust in the divine timing of it all. The strength of patience will carry you through; one step at a time leads to miles of greatness!

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    3443 Are You More Absent Than Present?

    3443 Are You More Absent Than Present?

    There are many ways to show up in your marriage, two of which are physically and emotionally. How involved and invested are you emotionally in your spouse, or are you more absent than present? Unfortunately, after we get done dating and we've locked the relationship with wedding bells and rings, it seems that all the effort of investing in the marriage is tossed out the window.
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    Now, for a few month, and if you're lucky a few years, you might be subject to the "honeymoon" phase. 
    But that goes away swiftly, and then each person the in the marriage is left to fend for themselves.
    Doesn't that sound like a marriage you want to be in?
    Probably not. And that's why we need to chat. Marriage takes two and requires effort from both parties. However, if you are getting what you want, why would you try harder?
    This is what happens when you have one spouse who is physically present, but emotionally absent. They do everything to keep you close enough without giving you everything you need. Literally, they are stringing you along. 
    They think they are providing for you, working hard for the family, and all you do is complain. They flip it on you making it your fault. They don't want to give anymore, but they want more from you. 
    It's when a partner like that is emotionally lazy. They're done. Now, it's all up to you to hold the marriage together.
    That is not a marriage! If you are in this position, you can't withstand this over time. Your marriage is dying.
    So what do you do if you are in this situation?
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Confront this dynamic in your marriage! In moments of emotional absence from a spouse, taking proactive steps can help bridge the gap and nurture emotional intimacy. Here are three strategies that can be implemented:
    1. Set Clear Expectations: Establishing clear expectations for emotional availability and support can provide a roadmap for both partners. Communicate openly about your needs and boundaries to foster a deeper emotional connection.
    2. Avoid Over Functioning: Rather than repeatedly pleading with your spouse for emotional engagement, focus on setting boundaries and expressing your needs assertively. Over-functioning can lead to feelings of frustration and resentment.
    3. Accountability: Encourage open and honest communication about feelings and experiences. Holding each other accountable for emotional responsiveness can promote understanding and connection.
    In the ebb and flow of marriage, emotional stability acts as a cornerstone for navigating challenges and celebrating milestones together. It is essential for partners to be attuned to each other's emotional needs, dreams, and aspirations.
    "Emotional stability is the catalyst that fuels the journey of two souls intertwined in love and commitment." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    Embracing emotional presence in marriage means prioritizing understanding, empathy, and mutual support. By fostering emotional stability, couples can cultivate a deep sense of connection, resilience, and joy in their shared journey of love and partnership.

    3442 The Power of Celebration

    3442 The Power of Celebration

    In a world where we have international days for chocolate chip cookies and pizza, how is it that we are not honoring our brightest lights—our children? Imagine the impact if you embraced the power of celebration for your child. This is in a manner in which they feel cherished and valued for who they are and who they are becoming, not just because they are your "child."
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    As parents, we can bury ourselves in the busyness of life - juggling work, household chores, and countless responsibilities. Amidst this chaos, it's vital to pause and reflect on the importance of celebrating our children.
    Think about this-- What if you celebrated your child to the point that it went viral?
    We're all worried about getting noticed and getting one step ahead of our competition (whoever you deem as such).
    But we don't do anything to raise up our kids to be strong, independent individuals that will mightily impact the world they touch.
    We're just caught in our own CRAP of life. Yet, even when days get crazy, we still will go get those cookies or pizza just for the excuse to celebrate.
    What if you were to celebrate your child?
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Celebrate your child! So, how can we celebrate our children in a meaningful way? Here are three simple yet powerful ideas:
    1. Notice and Acknowledge Their Efforts:
    Take the time to recognize your child's achievements, big or small. It could be congratulating them on finishing a challenging puzzle, scoring well on a test, or even showing kindness to a friend. By acknowledging their efforts, you are reinforcing the value of hard work and perseverance. For instance, praise your child for their creativity by saying, "I love the way you used different colors in your artwork. It shows how imaginative you are!"
    2. Quality Time Together:
    In today's fast-paced world, spending quality time with our children is a precious gift, but we all take it for granted. Set aside dedicated moments to engage in activities that your child enjoys, whether it's playing a board game, gardening, or simply going for a walk together. This undivided attention strengthens your bond and creates lasting memories.
    "In a world full of distractions, choosing to be present is the greatest gift we can give our children." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    3. Create a Positive Environment:
    Encourage a positive and nurturing environment at home that fosters your child's growth and self-esteem. Celebrate their uniqueness and encourage them to embrace their individuality. Teach them the value of kindness, empathy, and resilience. Empower your child to believe in themselves and their capabilities. Supporting your child in their journey of self-discovery nurtures their confidence and fuels their potential.
    In conclusion, celebrating our children goes beyond the superficial. It's about nurturing their souls, acknowledging their efforts, and empowering them to shine bright in this world. As parents, let's embrace the power of celebration and watch our children bloom into their full potential.
    "In celebrating our children, we celebrate the future." ~ Kristianne Wargo

    3441 Embrace the Hurdles

    3441 Embrace the Hurdles

    When the hours of our day often lead the heart of passion to stray, we must not forget that the darkest moments come before dawn. So fear not your circumstances, but embrace the hurdles as pebbles of hope. Challenges often overshadow our aspirations and crush our dreams. Our days seem more like the dark nights where hope can't be seen as easily. 
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    The weight of our worries can feel heavier than the strength in our bones. It's important to remember that every struggle is a stepping stone on the journey to greatness. 
    "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Life's challenges are not meant to break you, but to mold you into a warrior of resilience and a believer in the power of our own spirit.
    When the storm clouds gather above, casting shadows on your dreams, remember these wise words from the legendary Maya Angelou: "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated." 
    Each setback is an opportunity for a comeback, a chance to rise stronger and more determined than before. Embrace the hurdles that come your way, for they are the sparks that ignite the fire within you each and every day.
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the hurdles! So, when you are experiencing moments of doubt and despair, and the road ahead seems long and arduous, take comfort in the words of the esteemed Helen Keller: "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
    You are not alone in your struggles; you are a beacon of light in a world that sometimes feels covered by the shadows of darkness.
    "In the silence of your soul lies the strength to conquer any struggle." ~ Kristianne Wargo Your inner reservoir of courage and determination knows no bounds; tap into it, draw from it, and let it guide you through even the stormiest of seas.
    When the weight of the world threatens to overwhelm you, stand tall and face it head-on. With each new day comes a fresh opportunity to embrace the challenges, rise above the obstacles, and greet the world with a smile that speaks volumes of your indomitable spirit. The journey may be tough, but the destination is worth every uphill battle.
    Remember, the brightest stars shine in the darkest skies. Let your light illuminate the path ahead, and let your heart be the compass that guides you toward a future filled with endless possibilities. Embrace the hurdles, for they are the stepping stones on the path to your greatness.

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    3440 The Rhythm of Comfort

    3440 The Rhythm of Comfort

    When it comes to healthy living, how much do you really want it? From traveling to life's challenges to unexplainable situations, who wants to do anything different but hang out in the rhythm of comfort?  And then you wonder why.
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    You know-- the allure of comfort can be irresistibly tempting. Whether it's indulging in familiar foods, staying within our routine, or avoiding challenges that push us out of our cozy bubble, the rhythm of comfort often dictates our choices.
    But is this reliance on comfort hindering our pursuit of a healthier lifestyle?
    Because the rhythm of comfort is something that does just that-- it provides comfort when nothing else does.
    Why do you think you eat certain things or drink certain liquids? Most of it comes from comfort.
    "Comfort is like a warm blanket on a cold night—it soothes us and provides a sense of security. However, true transformation lies beyond the confines of our comfort zone." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Wrap yourself up in the blanket of change! To break free from the seductive grasp of comfort, consider these three actionable steps:
    1. Embrace Change: Stepping out of your comfort zone often means embracing change, no matter how daunting it may seem. Instead of sticking to the same workout routine, challenge yourself to try a new fitness class or outdoor activity.
    For instance, swapping your morning jog for a pilates session can introduce a fresh element of excitement and wellness into your routine.
    "Change is the catalyst for growth. Embrace it, and watch yourself bloom." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    2. Cultivate Mindful Eating Habits: Many of our food choices are driven by comfort, seeking solace in familiar flavors and textures. To break free from this cycle, practice mindful eating.
    Take a moment to savor each bite, paying attention to the colors, tastes, and textures of your meal. By being present during meals, you can cultivate a healthier relationship with food and make conscious choices that nourish your body.
    "Food is not just fuel—it's a reflection of how we care for ourselves." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    3. Seek Support and Accountability: Stepping out of your comfort zone can be challenging, but having a support system can make all the difference.
    Surround yourself with friends, family, or a coach who can encourage and hold you accountable on your wellness journey. By sharing your goals and progress with others, you'll create a network of support that motivates you to strive for better.
    "Together, we are stronger. Lean on your tribe and let them uplift and guide you." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    As you navigate the delicate balance between comfort and growth, remember that transformation begins when you dare to step outside your comfort zone.
    "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
    Embrace change, cultivate mindful habits, and seek support to propel yourself towards a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.
    "True growth lies in the discomfort of change. Embrace it, and watch yourself thrive." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    When you are ready to escape the rhythm of comfort, that's when you reflect the comfort of change." ~ Kristianne Wargo

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    3439 Do Something Radical

    3439 Do Something Radical

    Just because life throws you lemons doesn't mean you have to catch the sourness of life. Enjoy the sweetness of life when you make your own lemonade—do something radical! Maybe you're stuck in a routine or season that has you hanging out with your excuses more than the possibilities. 
    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 
    Just so you know-- You're not alone. That feeling of being stuck, caught in a rut, or uninspired is real for many of us. 
    Maybe you're wanting a change of pace. Maybe you're yearning for more excitement or want to feel your heart come alive.
    But here's the thing—oftentimes, we settle. We settle for mediocrity. However, I'm here to remind you that it's time to shake things up. It's time to break free from the mundane and do something radical.
    "Don't let the fear of the unknown keep you from exploring the possibilities." ~ Kristianne Wargo
    Step outside of your comfort zone. Now, you might be throwing back a little resistance because you don't want to go off the beaten path. Feeling that hesitation and apprehension is normal. Do something radical anyway!
    Because remember, it's often in those moments of uncertainty that we discover our greatness in the making.
    But you have to be willing to take that next step.
    "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
    The K.I.S.S. ~ Do something radical! Imagine a life where every day is an adventure, where every decision you make brings you one step closer to your dreams. That's the beauty of doing something radical – it opens up a world of possibilities that you never thought possible.
    Whether it's starting a new hobby, taking a spontaneous trip, or pursuing a long-held passion, embracing the unknown can lead to incredible growth and self-discovery.
    As renowned author Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do."
    So what if you were to take those risks and follow your heart? Do you think it could stir up the passion and create your now that would have you smiling?
    Now that doesn't mean it won't come with good and bad adventures. The thing is, though, it will be an adventure.
    So, the next time you feel the tug of complacency creeping in or you feel stuck and uninspired, remember that you have the power to change your story.
    "Be the change for yourself!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
    Challenge yourself to do something radical, something that sets your soul on fire and lights up your spirit. Embrace the unknown, step out of your comfort zone, and feel the magic within.
    So go ahead, break free from the ordinary, and dare to do something radical.
    "Life is too short to play it safe. Take a leap of faith and soar on wings like eagles. Create your now!" ~ Kristianne Wargo
    Your extraordinary life starts with that next step.

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
