Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

Change is the most constant variable in your life. And it's the most challenging. If you want to impact the world, get your shift together and be the change! Change pierces your mind, body, and spirit. It wrecks your thought patterns, and causes inflammation to the soul. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Change is one thing you wish would just go away. But it haunts you daily, and whispers negative sweet nothings often. Your heart is tangled in what you don't do right. The demands you place on yourself bombards the day causing for nervous disruptions and plenty of self-destructions. Why does change have to be so challenging? Why is my resistance to change so great? You would think since change is a constant, it would be easy to handle. On the contrary, it is ridiculously persistent and rigorous. Sometimes we have to let go of what we can't control, and focus on what we can control. It's time to get your shift together. The K.I.S.S. ~ Get your shift together! You can wait around all you want. You can live with your excuses and make them your best friends. You can put off what you know to be the right thing to do. But how is that serving you? How is that going to help you reach your accomplish your goals and your dreams? Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 1 Corinthians 9:24 ESV The prize you are running after is your dream, your goal, your purpose. Only YOU hold the key. Only YOU can receive the prize. But that means you must make a shift in what you are currently doing in your every day. What is it going to take to get your shift together? Shift your mind. Plan out where you are headed. Know what you are wanting. Name it and claim it. Shift your actions. Prep for your plan. Work backwards to establish the steps to get you where you want to go. Shift your attitude. Take A.I.M. - Action Ignites Motivation. Look at the prep and take the one step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo What you want in life matters. You were created on purpose for a purpose. You are not an accident. YOU matter! So start living like you do. Stop apologizing. Stop making excuses. Stop living out other people's dreams. Stop pretending that you don't have what it takes. Stop creating stumbling blocks for yourself. Stop accepting that later is better. Stop. Stop. Stop. Your struggles are real. You need to understand where you are in your season. With all of that, know that you are more courageous than you think you are. Tap into your greatness and take A.I.M. You don't have to know all the answers today. All you need is the first, one step to take. What can you do today for YOU? The shift in your mind, in your actions, and in your attitude...

Getting overwhelmed is easy nowadays. Busyness has your schedule hijacked. And the distractions are so loud, you forget the power of a whisper. A whisper that draws you in close, as you long to hear the details of what's being spoken. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT It's like a special secret that you want to hear, even though so much is going on around you. There's cause to pause; the power of a whisper. Lately, I have been strategic about the noise around me. What I have noticed is that there's so much noise being consumed by my ears, that the distractions are constant disruptions. It's the heartbeat of my every day. My mind has difficulty focusing and keeping on task. And once when I'm ready to settle back in, another distraction. It's no wonder that with the busyness of the day and the distractions, we can feel like we are moving backwards instead of forwards. When we keep feeding our ears with excess noise, we are shutting out some of the most important conversations. And that conversation I'm referring to is between you and God. I have a television in my bedroom. Now Oprah would tell me that's bad for my marriage. However, at night, I use it to settle my mind. Because if it's too quiet, I can't go to sleep. Well in my nightly routine, I have started turning the TV off and not using the sleep timer. I decided that my quiet time at night and in the morning would be 100% reserved for God. Noise can deafen your ability to hear God and know your divine appointed dreams. Who wants to miss their dreams and have less of a connection with God just because you weren't listening. The K.I.S.S. ~ Tune in and turn up! Are you tuned in to God? Are you turning down the noise and turning up the silence? God often speaks the loudest when we are the quietest. "Be still, and know that I am God." ~ Psalm 46:10 You can't know what you don't hear. REFLECTION: Are you making room in your day to listen earnestly; to lead with quiet? "Silence is the difference between sight and insight. Silence is the difference between happiness and joy. Silence is the difference between fear and faith." ~ Mark Batterson Be aware of how you are listening or not listening for God. The power of a whisper will speak loudly to your heart if you're willing to tune in and turn up God. "What you're looking for might be found in a whisper. God's got you!! Are you listening?" #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

Marriages can becomes intense, for better or for worse. But when things get heated too often, it's vital to stop ranting and start raving! How do you think about your spouse? How would you describe your spouse? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Well before we get too deep, let's get on the same page as to the meanings. Ranting is an angry speech of criticism or accusation. (Tirade is a synonym.) Raving is to speak or write about someone or something with great enthusiasm or admiration. (You're very fond of this person.) Most would prefer to have someone rave about them. Unfortunately, many find themselves murmuring under their breath or in their head about how terrible their spouse is. What do you whisper in your head about your spouse? Is it something you would be excited to share? Or would you be ashamed to share those thoughts? I must admit, I have thought some not-so-good thoughts. My husband would make me mad and I would complain in my head how he doesn't care. I do all the work. Why am I always the one who is wrong? He is wrong majority of the time. Who does he think he is? This is real life! Now understand, this comes from very early on in our marriage. I always thought of myself as "the single, married mother". And it was true. But not everything I thought was truth! A lot was blown out of proportion because of my anger. Our thoughts can distort a situation. It can cause us to react in a way that's more negative-driven than positive; seeing more of the bad than the good. At some point, you have to come to realize that neither of you are perfect. Both of you will make mistakes, lots of mistakes. But ultimately, you have to get off the ranting train and start raving! The K.I.S.S. ~ Stop ranting and start raving! The more you focus on tearing down your spouse, the more broken your communication will become, which leads to a marriage in crisis. However, if you stop ranting and start raving, then you can crush the cycle of negativity and begin to build a stronger foundation with grace, compassion, forgiveness, and unconditional love. So how do you stop the rant and start the rave? Mute the whispers that your spouse is not good enough. Compliment daily, both verbally and silently. How can I serve you? What can I do for you today? "When you quiet the rant, the rave explodes exponentially." ~ Kristianne Wargo You see more of the good and less of the bad. REFLECTION: What do you need to quiet in your thinking when it comes to your spouse? Awareness opens the opportunity for healing and forgiveness.

When it comes to our children, just okay is not okay. We want the best for them. We want them to have many opportunities that we didn't have growing up. Is that wrong? Or is that right? Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT It's not about right or wrong. The key is not living your child's life. He/She needs to make decisions that are best for him/her; obviously age-appropriate decisions. Just okay is not okay. But for some reason, we think our hands need to be all up in their business. We think we know best. And at times, we certainly do. But as our children grow up, they must become responsible for their actions, schedules, interests, hobbies, friends. They need to get in the game of life. Just okay is not okay. What we think is serving our children, may be holding them back. Or forcing them into something that they really don't want to do. Both of my daughters danced when they were younger. Our oldest absolutely loved it! But our youngest was not real hip on the idea. She did it because mom said so. And for a while, that met the goal. However, as she grew older, she made the decision to stop dancing. That just wasn't her thing. Just okay is not okay. We have to be careful how we "love" our children into activities and forced involvement. Yes, it's great to have them experience a little bit of everything. But, just because you think they have a talent or "should" do it, doesn't mean it's right for them. So ask yourself this question...How is this serving my child? The K.I.S.S. ~ How is this serving my child? It is a simple question to begin the crucial conversation as to what is working and what's not working. Just okay is not okay. You want your child to soar in his/her strengths. It's not about being everything to everybody. It's about being uniquely YOU!!! It's not about "fitting in" to the norm. It's about your child creating the norm for himself/herself. Why? Because just okay is not okay. Why keep stuffing your child's day with busyness? Ask yourself the question.... How is this serving my child? One thing I've learned with raising five independent, unique, and talented children, is to make room for them to grow and experience life. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo It's not about cramming it all in. It's not about being everything to everybody. It's not about you living out your dreams through your child. Just okay is not okay. Give them room to grow in their strengths and their weaknesses. Set them up for success by allowing them to pick and choose. Support with encouraging words and lots of hugs. You are the world to your child! So be very careful not to let your desires overcome their interests and experiences. You are here to guide them, to keep them safe, to protect them, and to train them. But as they grow up, the question remains... How is this serving my child? "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

"Social media is an awesome tool if we use it to learn and to gleam from; and if we choose the right voices to speak into our lives." "And so, a lot of times, we're almost reactive than we are proactive. Rather than being on the defense, let's just be on the offense." "I didn't know she had needs." "There are great marriages out there. It's just a matter of commitment of both people's part and how hard you're going to work at it, and commit to it." "Or is your intended purpose to serve God and to serve each other and to focus on building a legacy rather than building memories." "It was something that we never anticipated, never expected, that we would have something like that happen in our lives. But it brought out so much good." "It helped our family work through adversity. It helped us take the focus off of our circumstances and put the focus on each other." "It's the voice we choose to listen to." "No matter what the challenge is, He's working it together to fulfill a greater purpose so that I can make an impact with my life." "If a couple is not unified around that mission and that vision of who they want to become, then they're going to be vulnerable to drifting to the things of this world and all the distractions that come with it." "Spend more time preparing for your marriage as oppose to planning your wedding." "Focus on the who before the do." "You didn't do anything wrong. God's created us to have a choice." "So we can't ever allow our self-worth to be based on what our children decide to do." "The only way we can do that is to be intentional in everything that you do." What has your story gifted you? How to relate to the difficulties people face. How to navigate through personal challenges. "We are a product of our past, but we're not a prisoner of our past."

One of the most FAQs when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle is, "How to stay the course?" Everyone is searching for the secret to live healthier. But the crazy thing is, the focus is the shortcut, not the consistency. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT The one thing that all of us get hung up on when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle is, more or less, "How fast can I get there?". Yet that's where the failure begins. There is no secret. I'm sorry to burst your bubble. The ultimate secret is consistency. It's not about hacks or shortcuts. It's not about if HIIT training or cardio is better. It's not about eating more kale and less sugar. It's how to stay the course. And staying the course is derived from consistency. It's all about DAY ONE! Remember yesterday's episode, "One Day or Day One"? You get to decide how you want to live your life. You are not being held to the fire to make the changes. Now some of us need that fire hangin' to create some urgency in changing our "healthy" habits. So today, how would you feel if you had more energy? What would you do if you felt better? One day or day one. You decide. Instead of complicating your health decisions, make the complex simple and stay the course. The K.I.S.S. ~ Make the complex simple! You don't need to bombard your calendar and counters with notes on everything you are doing for your health. However, there might be a few exceptions to that. But the tendency is to overwhelm our mind and to underwhelm the goal. Make the complex simple! How do you really want to live? Start there with your intentions for healthy living. What are you doing well now? This is your immediate pat on the back. You probably are doing more things good than what you think. Where do you want to be in a week? Notice I didn't ask you to layout your whole life's plan for healthy living. It's one week from now. I catch myself jumping ahead of the game which causes me not only to over think but to under plan, partly because I'm so busy! So make the complex simple. Write a few reminders around the house to keep you on track. Then next week, come back here and listen again. Make a few tweaks, and go for the next week's goal. Simplicity is your best friend. I think of the "EASY" button with Staples. If something is easy, you have a greater chance in completing the task or the follow through. "Make the complex simple!" #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

One day or day one. You decide. You have the opportunity to set the tone for your day. How will you live your day today? One day or day one. You decide. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Life's journey is complicated. One day it seems to be everything you dreamed. Other days, it's a struggle to even get out of bed. One day or day one. You decide. One day you can rise up and see your dream come true. Or day one kicks off the beginning of where you are now to where you want to go. One day or day one. You decide. When you are having a bad day, how long does it take you to break the curse of that bad day? You can choose to settle in to what the world dishes out, or you can make the decision for how your day will go. The K.I.S.S. ~ One day or day one. You decide. How did you wake up this morning? Was your heart heavy, your body tired? Or was your heart pounding in anticipation for what's to come? One day or day one. You decide. If you are one who's in a season where all you can do is just get through the day, then you might be whispering to yourself, "One day." One day, I'll go back to school. One day, I'll own my own business. One day, I'll be an author. One day, I'll have the marriage I deserve. One day, I'll move to somewhere warm and sunny. One day, I'll have the house all put together. One day, I'll get a full night sleep. One day, I'll be the healthier. However, the hope for what today brings is just the beginning. This is day one for your dream. There isn't a right or wrong answer. You get to decide. One day or day one. With every breath, with every tear, with every smile, with every fear, one day or day one. You decide. "Train for life. Love your journey. YOU matter!!!" #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

You can find any excuse as to why you shouldn't do something. And same goes for finding any reason why you should do something. So what are your reasons? You have a purpose in your heart, an idea in your soul, a hope of what you want to change in your life. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Yet the complaints remain the same. You rise in the morning with much to do and a spark of enthusiasm. But then the shift. You are distracted by everyone else's fires. They become your number one battle leaving you broken-hearted from what you had hoped to focus on in the day. The balance is off. And it's not just for one day. It is MANY days, leading to months and sometimes years. The battle comes in the morning. The battle comes in the evening. The distractions are real. The duties of life are debilitating. Surely you are not the only one struggling with living out your purpose. "Change is tough and you can always come up with 100 reasons not to do something or quit in the process, but reaching a goal that you bravely fought and won, is invigorating and a worthy reason for doing it." ~ Barbara Corcoran So why aren't you there? What are your reasons? Getting stumped in reaching your goals is a battle fought every day. You're not alone. I find myself saying that so often to the point that it becomes one of my excuses. I reason it out with, "You're not alone."! This is the quiet voice the echoes loudly in my mind and eventually hijacks my heart. Who needs any other reasons (even though I have a hundred more). That reason is better than an excuse. It's guilt free! So what are your reasons? Why aren't you living out your purpose, reaching for those goals, striving to be your best selfie? In order to get to where you want to go, it's great to know the obstacles before you come to them. The K.I.S.S. ~ Get to know your obstacles! Obstacles don't have to be the reason to shut you down. In fact, they can actually spearhead you to greatness. It's all depends on perspective. Know your reasons. List out all the reasons why you would or would not do something. Be specific. This will help prepare your mindset for overcoming them as excuses. Reasons --> Excuses ---> Feeds Fear. Therefore, you're not going anywhere. Knockout your reasons. You go to battle before they even happen. You have already figured out how to beat the reasons to extinguish the excuses before it becomes a problem. And usually it's a systemic problem. You use the same excuses over and over. So when you crush them, you don't spend unnecessary time or energy living out those excuses. Devise a game plan for the reasons and excuses that do get in the way. When you are living out your purpose and going for your goals, something is not going to go your way. So prepare a way to get around those reasons. Don't let your reasons become the forecast of whether or not your goals, dreams, and purpose become a reality in your lifetime. If you could bury all your reasons for not doing something, where would you be today? What would that look like? How would you feel knowing you are living your dream? Go chase your dreams! Live your beautiful life with joy and a heart pounding for your purpose. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!" #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment TAKE A.I.M. ~ Action Ignites Motivation - This is a complimentary (FREE) coaching call with me.

Everyone is searching for the latest and greatest hacks; shortcuts to avoid the longer route. But life is an adventure where the blessings are in the battle. It would be awesome if we could cut to the front of the line, get exactly what we want in life, and move on to bigger and better things. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Yet that's not really how life works. Shortcuts usually create longer detours. We think we're helping the situation. But in actuality, we are prolonging our discomfort and extending our stay in the areas we are trying to escape. God doesn't always give us the answers at the beginning of a new adventure. Because if He did, do you think you would follow through? That's a question I've been wrestling with lately. If I only knew, Lord, where you want me to go specifically, we could cut a few corners and I could get to doing what you want me to do! Have you ever had that conversation? Maybe I'm the only one. But probably not. We don't want to fight the battles and go through hard stuff to get where we need to be going. We just want to get there! Why does it have to take so long? The K.I.S.S. ~ The blessings are in the battle! Rushing God only slows down what we need to learn. For such an impatient and ungrateful society, we sure demand a lot when we want our way. But what's forgotten, is the fight's not ours to carry. The battle belongs to the Lord. (1 Samuel 17:47) If we would just get out of the way, God could do what He does best. NO! NO!! NO!!! We won't have it that way. Instead we put up a fight, throw temper tantrums, demand we be heard, and then try it the only way we can see it working. The joke's on us. God can see 360 degrees, 365 days of the year, 24/7. He's all about the 4D model. Why rush greatness? Why stand at the door and scream? God stands at the door and knocks. (Revelation 3:20) But are we listening? REFLECTION: What battle are you fighting today? Where do you feel that you are in it alone? The challenge today is to invite God into your battle. Look for Him. Ask Him what He wants you to see. Seek His plan. Knock and the door will be opened. (Mattthew 7:7) You are not alone. The fight is not for you to win. The battle is for you to cling to Christ more. Rely on Him. Rest in His goodness for your greatness is to come.

It's easy to go through life wearing masks, pretending to be something you are not. Honesty is the best policy. Build your marriage with honest love. A love that is secure in whose you are, and not by your personal accomplishments or the decorative masks you wear. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT Certainly not a prideful attitude --- "I've got it all together!" Really??? You don't! Nobody does. You can pretend all you want. But eventually, your hiding place in your heart of pride will be found. You'll be pushed to make a change one way or another. Relationships can't survive on whims and masks. Marriage isn't pretend. It's not playing house. It's real life moving forward or backward. How do you see your marriage today? How is your relationship with your spouse? Is it open and honest, all fears and flaws exposed? Or are you hiding in the swamp of chaotic make believe? It's time to climb out of your messy hiding place. Honesty is the best policy. The K.I.S.S. ~ Love honestly! When you're honest and sincere in heart, action, mind, and body, there's a commanding truthfulness that fills your life. "The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith." ~ 1 Timothy 1:5 God wants to see your marriage succeed. He wants to see joy in your heart. He delights in the beauty of love for each other. But you can't envelop yourself in joy and what God desires for you when you are wearing masks, pretending to be someone you're not. There is no sincerity when you can't be you. You must be willing to break the mold of masks. Honesty is the best policy. So what is it going to take for you to break-free of the masks? The party's over. No more masquerade balls. The time to focus on your marriage is now. Make each other a priority! Whether or not you think your spouse will be onboard, you take the first step. Begin with a pure heart. Release the masks. Take them off so you can reveal the real you; the you God is designing, flaws and all. Open your heart to what God desires. See His vision for your life and your marriage. It's not about your agenda. God's agenda is the best agenda. So pay attention. Walk by faith. Take each step knowing God is leading you. It's not what you can do, but what God can do through you and in you. Love honestly. And not because you have to, but because you want to. There's got to be this underlying attraction to do what's right in God's eyes regardless of the temptations in this world. Choose to see honesty in love as an open door for your transformation and restoration, forgiveness and hope. Your love in your marriage impacts the world you touch, both individually and as a couple. Marriage has impact. Don't take it for granted. Be intentional with who you are in the relationship.
