How does criticism and love go together? And does it really?

If you don't like something about someone, hence judging them; how can that be love?

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact 

Lots of questions to begin to understand that what we say has power.

Shouting and screaming out what you don't like or what you don't agree with solves nothing. That doesn't mean you have to be a welcome mat and let everyone walk all over you.

However, you can express dislike, concern, or faults when you do it in love.

Those screams seems to be more fun than what you're actually screaming about.

Maybe this sounds all to familiar in your household.

Criticism: The expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.

We ALL make mistakes. I know for me, I'm not riding the perfect train. There's a right way to be critical of someone. 

Constructive criticism.

But most of us jump on people and become more destructive building upon the hurt and tearing them down more.

Now be honest! Is that you?

How does criticism and love go together?

The K.I.S.S. ~ SPEAK the TRUTH in LOVE!

1. Words match truth. What you say must match truth.
2. Beware of a critical spirit. Don't be critical to be critical.
3. Love them where they're at. Love them.

Episode #144 The Heart of the Tongue

We need to take God's lead on this. Because if He was to criticize us the way we do to others, I know I would feel as small as an ant.

But He teaches in love and forgiveness, the grace that goes beyond our understanding.

Build with constructive criticism and love.

With the biggest game of the year, your nutrition is even bigger. It's time for your super bowl nutrition. Ready. Set. Hike!

Regardless if your team made it to the Super Bowl or not, your health must take priority even during the celebrations! Oh yes! You can have your cake and eat it too. 

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact 

Before we get into the details of how, let's discussed some FOOD SHOCKERS that hopefully will open your eyes to how your decisions impact your health.

• CHICKEN WINGS - Per the National Chicken Council, Americans will consume 1.25 billion chicken wings.
  • You can reduce the "bad" effect by baking the chicken wings and eating in. Simply preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Place the wings on a foil-lined broiler pan and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle on pink himalayan salt. Cook for 50-55 minutes until golden in color. Sauce with your favorite sauce. Place the wings back on the broiler pan and cook for 5-7 minutes to heat the sauce. Be careful, the more sugar in the sauce, the easier it is to burn the sauce. Finally, sauce the wings for the second time and serve. Healthy and yummy!!
• PIZZA - 1 out of 7 Americans will order takeout. Of those, 60% will order pizza. All I can say is OMGoodness!!
• CHIPS - 11 million pounds of chips will be eaten on game day. 4 million pounds of pretzels and 2.5 million pounds of nuts. Now that's nuts!!
• BEER - Americans will drink 50 million cases of beer this weekend. Please drink responsible.
• SODA - Americans will spend $2.37 million on soda.

What is earth-shattering is that the sale of ANTACIDS will increase 20% following game day. And 6% will call in sick. 

You do not want your health to be a roller coaster like this. Super Bowl nutrition can be enjoyed and not derail all of your goals.

So how do you break the snacks gone wild and embrace the Super Bowl nutrition?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Do the P.A.R.T.Y. Shuffle!

1. PLAN to move. Get in your intentional movement early.
2. ACCELERATE the H2O. Stay hydrated with water. Bring your own water bottle to make it easy too.
3. REDUCE the graze effect. Keep the food away from the television. This will reduce unnecessary stuffing of the face. A bonus for all.
4. TARGET the goal. And that goal is YOU! What do you need to stay on track? Bring some healthy alternatives portioned for you or enough to share with all.
5. YIELD to minis. Eat mini-meals containing protein and vegetables every time you get a plate of food.

The P.A.R.T.Y. Shuffle is great for all celebrations. Don't fall into the trap of food gone wild. Ready. Set. Hike!

As crazy as life gets, peace be with you. The peace that surpasses all understanding.

It would be nice to think that your day is going to be filled with peace, tranquility, and calmness.

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact 

But we are not guaranteed easy days. In fact, last week I received a text that my husband was in an accident. The last thing I felt was peace. Somehow, my heart hear the call, "peace be with you".

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." ~ John 16:33

"You have peace not because you don't have problems. It's because the problems don't have you."

I wasn't gong to let the "accident" disrupt what God was in control of. Peace be with you.

And peace isn't that tranquility of a well-organized systematic home that runs like a well-oiled machine.

It's the spilt milk, the past due on bills, and the chaos that fills your day with stumbles and troubles. However, God is in control.

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." ~ John 14:27

You don't have to walk in your day feeling compelled to carry the weight of the world. Let God carry your problems. Let God bare your pain. Let God give you peace.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Peace be with you!

"Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." ~ John 20:21

What we need to hear is it's gonna be ok. You're going to be alright. There's no reason to stew over what God has control over. God majors in the minors. He's here to love you, guide you, and protect you.

Walk by faith knowing God's got YOU!!

"The God of peace be with you! Amen."~ Romans 15:33

Nothing hurts more than a broken heart. Broken from events of this world. Yet you can have a mended heart filled with love and ready to beat again.

Ready to go out in the world, not fearing the unknown, but being known.

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact 

In order for you to get to that point, it's important to understand that you're gonna go through some pain, maybe some emptiness, even loss.

"Sometimes the greatest pain and suffering comes to being pushed out where we don't want to be." ~ Kristianne Wargo

We want the shortcuts. The more we have of whatever, our life will be better. But is it really?

What if you achieved that big dream, would you be happy? Would your heart be singing and on fire? Maybe for a little while.

Are you listening to the commentators of this world? Or are you listening to the Creator of the world, God?

"A mended heart does not come from your own works. No matter how hard you try to bury the past, only God can take the ashes; your leftovers, your brokenness, your hurt. And turn it into beautiful things." ~ Kristianne Wargo (inspired by Isaiah 61:3)

"In order to have a mended heart, you must release your defects and defaults to God!"

You are no longer in control.

"Happy are those whose greatest desire is to do what God requires." ~ Matthew 5:6

How do we walk in His greatness, which in turn in our greatness?

#743 Ready When You Are

#744 A Divided Heart

It's understanding and accepting that we are flawed individuals. Only God can mend your heart. A mended heart is God's heart. After we release the defects and defaults to God, we begin to find life's rhythm.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Take the Road Less Traveled Surrendered!

1. WATCH your mouth. Discipline your tongue. Slow to speak.
2. Quick to LISTEN. Understand and know. Dig deeper.
3. CARRY each other. Come beside one another. Serve and help.
4. BREAK the patterns of old, embrace God's changes.
5. SPEAK with love and be the light that shines.

This is how you find the rhythm of a mended heart, God's heart.

"Be who you are, right where you are, where God has planted you. When you work out of God's toolbox, NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE!"

As you go forth today, my prayer for you is that the Lord can have ALL of you, every part of YOUR world. That He will take YOUR life and breathe on YOUR HEART which is now HIS, a MENDED HEART!

In life, we all desire to be known, to be heard, to be recognized. Arise and wait expectantly.

How do you start your mornings? Do you jump out of bed in a hurry because of the snooze and then the rest of the day follows suit?

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact 

I can remember those days, dreading the morning alarm demanding my attention to get out of my warm snuggled bed.

But we are to arise and wait expectantly. 

You want to be know, to be heard, to be recognized. God wants to hear from you. He wants you to cry out to Him. And not that whining, temper tantrum cry-out

He wants the morning to be started with your voice, bringing your requests to Him waiting for His response.

"Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." ~ Psalm 5:3

How would spending 2 minutes a day with your Creator make an impact?

"We can let life happen to us, or we can choose how we want to impact life using the gifts God has given us." ~ Kristianne Wargo

Which do you choose?

• Excuses and temper tantrums; OR
• To be known, to be heard by your God.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Arise and Wait Expectantly!

This is your time to create your now. All it takes is one step to lead you to miles of greatness.

It's these little shifts in life that grants you abundance and joy to go out and do the BIGGER dreams God has for you.

Make this week an incredible week filled with good news, even when those struggles come your way.

"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!"

How many excuses and distractions have you given into since the New Year? It's time to make what matters happen.

"There's no time like the present to do life. Impact today!"

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact 

That's what we are called to do as a woman of impact.

• Focus on what is most pressing.
• Limit the interruptions.
• Work with your "primetime zone".

"We live for the excuses and not for our dreams." ~ Kristianne Wargo

We have distractions coming at us all the time. This is our new normal. You get pings and dings, everyone wanting your attention to their matters. And you can't blame the children for this one. However, does it make it the correct way to live your life?

The way we communicated in the olden days is so different than what we do now.

Time out!!!

We must figure out what matters and make that happen.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Intentional Thought!

How are you living towards your goals/dreams in the season you're in now?

• Are you responding to all the pings and dings?
• Are you making room for what matters now?

Spend your energy and make what matters happen!

Have you ever been in search for something and discovered it's right in front of you? Blinded by your own sight.

You know when you are looking for your sunglasses, and they are on top of your head. You find yourself walking around looking for your phone only to realize you've been talking on it this whole time. LOL :)

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact 

These stories are all too familiar. 

Are you blinded by your own sight?

Sometimes we do not see what we need to because we have our blinders on.

"We focus and gain only from our own efforts --- which means that if we aren't searching deep enough, than we might miss what's right in front of us." ~ Kristianne Wargo

My son asked if I went to the store to get groceries. I told him yes, and then he proceeded to ask where did I put what he wanted. "It's in the pantry. Keep looking." 

He couldn't find it. So when I went in the pantry, where did I find it? Right in front of him! 

Are you blinded by your own sight?

"Open my eyes so that I may see all that you've given me." (Inspired by Psalm 119:18)

The K.I.S.S. ~ Open your eyes and have S.I.G.H.T.!

Search for Intensive Growth Harboring Truth

1. Are you searching deep and wide?
2. Are you allowing yourself to reach beyond what's right in front of you?
3. Are you willing to put judgment and comparison to the side to see what's before you?

We are living life in false positives. We make it fit the simple narratives. Then influence comes in; comparison, what's trending, and who's hanging with you.

We can get in our own way.

We are missing what's real. What's authentic.

What do you have your sights set on today?

Carbohydrates get a bad wrap. However, there's the special carbohydrate all of us should have within our nutritional diet.

The special carbohydrate is FIBER!

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact 

Fiber is different from simple carbohydrates.

Simple carbohydrates are broken down and digested rapidly. They contain refined sugars and very few essential vitamins and minerals (i.e., table sugar, fruit juice, brown sugar, soft drinks, corn syrup, etc.).

Fiber plays an important role in optimizing your health The average American consumes less than 15 grams of fiber per day.

• Women need 25-30 grams
• Men need 30-38 grams

How does dietary fiber support you?

1. Helps improve bowel function
2. Reduces the risk of colon cancer
3. Helps stabilize blood sugar
4. Reduces high blood pressure
5. Reduces LDL cholesterol
6. Keeps your digestive track moving

The impact fiber has on digestion is great. High fiber foods take longer to chew giving time for your body to communicate with your brain...I'm full!

In the stomach, fiber absorbs the water and creates bulk. And it aides in satiation. In the small intestines through the colon, fiber continues moving things along. It's also where the fermentation process begins which is vital to gut health.

Keep in mind, you need soluble and insoluble fiber. Both have benefits.

Soluble Fiber (apples, berries, flaxseeds) provides food to the "good army of bacteria" in your gut which helps to make vitamins.

Insoluble Fiber is a great maid for cleaning the gut. When the intestines are clean, it's easier for your gut to absorb the fermented products from the soluble fiber.

Not getting enough fiber? The Mayo Clinic recommends adding some of the following in your daily consumption:

• Whole grains
• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Bean, peas, and other legumes
• Nuts and seeds

The K.I.S.S. ~ God made it, You can eat it!

Stay clear of refined or processed foods like canned fruit, canned vegetables, fruit juices, white breads and pastas, and non-whole grain cereals. All of these are low in fiber.

Please remember how the grain-refining process works by removing the outer coat (the bran) of the grain which lowers the fiber content. 

ENRICHED foods had added vitamins and iron, but not the fiber. 

CHALLENGE:

1. Look at your daily nutrition
2. Know YOUR fiber numbers
3. Add in fiber where you need it
