Create Your Now Archive 3 With Kristianne Wargo

Are you waiting for the golden rules to what you need to achieve your goals? If only there was ONE way to achieve your goals especially your health and wellness goals.  We would all be perfect! But there's not. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact  And in fact, if we really begin to break down goals, how to set new habits, most of us would run for the hills. Results show that when we are wanting change, it's more complicated than making SMART goals, writing an action plan, and sticking to it. It seems in order for something to change, we need to be pushed to the edge. Are you at the edge? Unfortunately, it takes a crisis. But why wait for a crisis? We live in enough stress every day. We sit here and have these goals and dreams floating around in our mind space. But until we are willing to act upon them, they keep afloat. We need to bring them down to earth's space so you can impact where God created you and be

As easy as it should be to make simple changes to impact your life, it comes down to your attitude. Today, begin with joy! No matter if you believe in making new year's resolutions, vision boards, writing your goals, or you just start by taking action, begin with joy. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact  Joy will sustain you when you stumble.  Joy will maintain your enthusiasm.  Joy will help you obtain your goals.  Joy is the first step to your miles of greatness. You might be saying that's some BIG shoes to fill. Joy can't do all that. Plus, I'm not great. YES YOU ARE!!!! You were created on purpose, for a purpose. God sees greatness in you. He hasn't given up on you. God wants to come beside you and fill your heart with joy. "You give me Your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; You stoop down to make me great." ~ Psalm 18:35 Dream on and create your now! How do you get what you want in life,

This is the day where you begin with a clean slate. So how to get what you want? You have two options. Keep doing what you've been doing getting the same results. OR if you know you want something different, you need to make some changes. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact  These are two different tracks to take. Pretty simplistic. But guess what happens, you get all excited about everything being new. And that feeling lasts, if you're lucky, one week. In actuality, it's more like 2-3 days. Why is that? Because it's back to the same old thing. That grindstone you dreaded is right where you're headed. So how to get what you want? It starts with YOU!!! The stories you keep telling yourself. If it start with you, what do you do? In order to know how to get what you want, you must know what you want to get. The K.I.S.S. ~ Gain Clarity on your dreams and purpose! Know what you want to get. What are you after? Be

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to 2017!!  As you enjoy your time with family and friends and reflect on what's to come, here's what I want you to do... Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    "Take your everyday, ordinary life - your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life - and place it before God as an offering." ~ Romans 12:1 [MSG] Your good-intended resolutions won't carry you far when life gets busy once again. The return of old habits will be comforting and require little sacrifice. The New Year soon will fade to the old known year. Yet you want something anew, a fresh start. So here's what I want you to do ... Fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you, and quickly respond to it. (Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity,) God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you

As you ring in the new year, remind yourself of all the glorious blessings God has bestowed upon you yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I've been trying to take some time off - but it's been hard trying to manage the pressing priorities with Create Your Now and the blessings of my family.

As you close the year of 2016, let your heart bear gratitude for God; thanking Him for what He's done, for what's He's doing, and for what's to come. The K.I.S.S. ~ Have gratitude! He knows where you rise and where you sit. With the excitement and enthusiasm for a fresh start, a jumpstart, invite God to be a part. A part of your goals, a part of your habits, a part of your life as you impact the world. My praye

No matter how hard you try, there are days where you question - will they ever get it? I can't count how many times I've said the same thing within minutes. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    No more broken records, skipping CDs... Will they ever get it? Am I speaking another language? Do they needs their ears tested, and maybe even their eyes? It astounds me that no matte how I say it, whether I whisper it, or yell it from the rooftops, what needs to be done doesn't get done. Talk about an upset mama. But the it doesn't stop there. I turn the tables and ask myself --- "What do I need to be doing that I'm not doing?" Regardless of whether or not we want to admit it, our influence is mirrored back to us. With the new year around the corner, goals and New Year's resolutions are a topic of conversation. So what would it look like f you began to make a change/alteration in how you do something? Will you ever g

A Christmas miracle happened today. All the presents wrapped. The turkey cooked. Christmas Eve service attended. And it all happened before midnight! Are you searching for a Christmas miracle? As much as I thought this was a Christmas miracle, there was one that preceded all of mine and yours. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    A Christmas miracle came as a gift for you and me to give eternal life. Luke 2:1-14 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were t

Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Here are a few of the questions that were asked of the children. How would you answer the questions yourself?

This week has been filled with preparations for the holidays, semester tests, and traffic. And the traffic got me thinking. Is FEAR controlling you? When you are driving and notice flashing light ahead, one of the first thoughts is how to avoid that area. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Traffic may be slow, so you'll be late. You want to keep the area clear for more important vehicles; so you look for an alternative route. Or it's so bad, you have no option but go where you're directed. Fear is very similar to traffic problems. We let the "what ifs" control our next move. We get nervous and allow fear to under mind the direction we really need to be going. Is fear controlling you?  What is the simplest way to get around fear without over complicating things? The K.I.S.S. ~ Be in the moment! Don't focus on the past or the future. See what's right in front of you. "One step at a time leads to miles of gre

All I want for Christmas is peace. Peace from the busyness of life. The high spun getting it all done drive is for the birds. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    We can become so wrapped up in the stuff of life; building your business, raising your children, the daily responsibilities, errands, taking care of yourself, exercise, eating healthy, working on your marriage. All of this takes an enormous amount of strength, endurance, and energy. But what happens is we end up running circles and becoming ragged, plain worn out! And the need for motivation increases. The inspiration fades and it becomes more about survival. What happened to "thriv-ival", "Don't worry about anything, instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ

What would life look like for you if you had the magic formula to what keeps you going through the good, the bad, and the ugly? You want that motivation that keeps on giving. No giving up on your dreams! Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Motivation: a reason(s) one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. It comes from the word motive. We're in search for happiness, for joy, for love, for security, for hope. The picture we may envision usually differs from our reality. The job you have has nothing to do with the actual "job" (the work, the do); but what matters is what it brings you. You are searching for the results. There is a reward which stems from your results. You want that happiness, joy, love. Why are you searching for what you don't want? Let me give you an example: "Why should I quit?" You will come up with every reason as to why you should quit. But if you ask, "Why should I stay?"... Yo

The holidays can be a beautiful time spent with family and friends. But you know when you feel like something's missing? You want comfort in difficult times. And these difficult times may not be so heart wrenching either. It might be the nudge of not being happy, the feeling of 'I don't know how much more I can take.' Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    Difficult times we don't express or even talk about. For one reason, we don't know what to say or how to face the situation. It's unfortunate that what we see as our inadequacies are heightened during the holidays. You might be feeling like, "If I go to this party, I'm going to have to talk about things I really don't want to." I'm tired of pretending to be happy! Where is the comfort in difficult times? The K.I.S.S. ~ There's comfort at the cross! "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by

Are you training your schedule to be comfortable with chaos? The busy is the new attraction, but should it be. The best is yet to come. How are you preparing for the season?  Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    "The manger dares us to believe the best is yet to be. And it could all begin today." ~ Max Lucado from his book, Because of Bethlehem. How are you preparing your way? Are you trying to control everything? Control allows you to set your expectations. No surprises. Or are you letting God prepare your way, your journey? Maybe you are distracted from the glitz and the glitter. The shiny new objects attract you to dream bigger, yet you chase what may not be. The magnetism of the earthly possessions can cloud or even cover up what's most important. One thing I wish that would carry beyond the season is HOPE! Hope revives your spirit. Hope renews your strength. Hope was found in a little manger thousands o

There's something so special about a child. The wonder in their eyes. The spark of "I can do anything" always. Lots of traits we as adults should capture. But am I acting like a child? What better time to focus on the child than during the holidays. Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact    But this is a different look. It's not about temper tantrums. It's not about obedience. It's about what you are doing now to move you where you want to be. My children were so good at causing diasters in the household. The kind that make you wonder how much can they get out all at once. Now the children just explode out of their clothes, drop whatever they're doing, and move on to the next thing. So it got me thinking, am I acting like a child? No, it's not about chasing shiny new objects. You know, when something doesn't work, you move on to the next new thing. It's more about the interests or lack of focus.  What are you doi
