  Do you find yourself longing for a different life? Even though you may have numerous blessings, there still may be a desire for something more. Instead of running away and hiding, ask yourself, "What does this make possible?" Life flat-out sucks sometimes. Maybe you find yourself in the middle of chaos or circumstances. Doom and gloom is not the way to address your day. There is joy in the morning. But it does depend on your outlook. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT   Knowing how you feel is important. But if your focus is only doing life when you feel good, it's no wonder you don't feel good. Most of the time, we don't hang onto the good stuff. Instead, we reminisce over the bad stuff and have it on repeat. If you don't shuffle what you hear and be selective in what you believe about yourself, your failures will walk all over you. Your situation does not have to define failure or success for you. Capture what draws you in and go for what stands out. The K.I.S.S. ~ Capture what stands out! Circumstances can defeat you daily. But that does not have to be your story. You can rise above with some effort on your part.  Examine with honesty. When you are in the thick of things, it's easy to get entangled with what is. But what's possible? Dream bigger than what you see. What does this make possible? Dreams are built not on where you are but on where you want to go. So dream bigger than where you are. Zone into the present. This is where you swoop in and analyze what needs to be the next step in the bigger dream.  "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo CHALLENGE: Break away from the norm of your day. Give yourself permission to dream. Pause from the craziness and ask,  "What does this make possible?"       "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"     #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment

In a world that demands productivity, efficiency, and achievement, it's easy to get caught up in the never-ending cycle of to-do lists, goals, and plans. But what happens when life happens? Your life is not a list! Let's look at our reality. We prioritize our dreams based on the items neatly listed on a page, convinced that ticking off each task will lead us to fulfillment and success. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co    Yet what happens when life throws us a curveball, disrupting our carefully curated lists and challenging our rigid schedules? Life ebbs and flows without regard for our lists and plans. It has its ups and downs, plus all around. It has a way of surprising us, pushing us out of our comfort zones, and teaching us valuable lessons in resilience and adaptability. At what point do you look at yourself and see if what you are doing that you think should be helping might actually be hurting you in a different manner, one you had not yet considered? Break free from the confines of a list-full life and embrace the unpredictable beauty of living in the moment. The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace the unpredictable beauty of living in the moment; your presence! 1. Knowing where you are and where you are NOT headed: Sometimes, we get so caught up in chasing our goals that we lose sight of the bigger picture. Take a moment to reassess your path and consider whether your current trajectory aligns with your true desires and values. 2. The position of adaptability: Life is unpredictable, and plans often go awry. Instead of resisting change, learn to adapt and flow with the twists and turns that come your way. Embrace uncertainty as an opportunity for growth and discovery. 3. Flex your "I got this!" muscles: Cultivate a mindset of resilience and determination. Don't be deterred by past failures when faced with challenges or setbacks. Here is where you jump in. Forge ahead with confidence, knowing you have the strength and tenacity to overcome any obstacle.  Your presence will awaken your day bringing in the colorful details that you missed when you were caught in the list. True joy and fulfillment are not found in checking off the boxes, but in savoring the colorful details of life that unfold when you let go of your need for control. Yes, be mindful of what you need to get done, but don't miss what's right in front of you. So, the next time you find yourself overwhelmed by the weight of your lists, take a deep breath and remind yourself that your life is not a checklist to be completed, but a journey to be experienced fully and authentically. Embrace the unexpected, savor the present moment, and watch as the beauty of life unfolds before you in ways you never imagined possible.   "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"     #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ~ John 3:16 Love is a choice!

Even though your days are busy, you don't have to forget why you said, "I do." You are always on my mind. What are you thinking about most of the time regarding your marriage and your spouse? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co    Are you one who complains more than proposing solutions? Are you one who controls the situation rather than being open to hearing the other side? Sometimes, we can get ourselves stuck in a mess where we are the priority. The K.I.S.S. ~ Think before you act! A good marriage requires daily thoughts.  A great marriage requires daily thoughts and actions. Words fall flat if they are not followed up with actions.  If you say, "You are always on my mind," how are you showing it?   "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"     #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage

As summer approaches and the school year winds down, scheduled routines seem to go out the window. Why do relaxed days bring recreational chaos? If you're a parent, you know the challenge of transitioning from structured routines to the more relaxed days of summer fun. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co    It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the busyness of the season and lose yourself in the chaos. However, with a few simple strategies, you can maintain a sense of balance and structure during the summer months while still enjoying the spontaneity and freedom that the season brings. For many parents, the lack of a set schedule can be daunting. Without the structure of school days and extracurricular activities, it can feel like anything goes. However, maintaining a loose routine can help keep everyone on track while still allowing for flexibility and fun. "Summer is a time for adventure and making memories with your kids, but it's also crucial to maintain some semblance of routine to avoid feeling overwhelmed." ~ Kristianne Wargo If you want your summer fun to be just that, FUN-- You've got to find the balance between structure and spontaneity during the summer months.  The K.I.S.S. ~ Find the happy medium between structure and spontaneity!   To wrangle in your summer schedule and keep things running smoothly, here are three things parents can do: 1. Create a flexible daily routine: While it's important to allow for spontaneity and relaxation during the summer, having a basic routine can help provide structure and stability for both parents and children. Set aside specific times for meals, activities, and bedtime, but allow for flexibility and adjustments as needed. 2. Plan ahead and prioritize activities: Sit down with your family and discuss what activities and outings are important to each member. By planning ahead and prioritizing key events, you can ensure that everyone gets to participate in the things they enjoy most without feeling overwhelmed by too many commitments. 3. Rest and Recover: Amidst the whirlwind of summer activities and family fun, it's essential for parents to prioritize rest and recovery. Make time for activities that recharge you, whether it's reading a book, going for a walk, or having a quiet moment to yourself. Making time for doing nothing but resting helps to unwind and allows you to soak in the fun! As you navigate the transition from school year routines to summer fun, remember to embrace the spontaneity of the season while also finding ways to maintain a sense of structure and balance. By incorporating a loose routine, planning ahead, and resting, you can wrangle in your summer schedule and make the most of this special time with your family. "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"     #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent 

3386 Why Do Relaxed Days Bring Recreational Chaos?

In life, it's easy to believe that what we see is the final destination, the unchangeable reality we must accept. But what if you shifted your perspective and realized that what you see is NOT what you get? Because what you see is merely a starting point, a canvas waiting to be painted with your desires, dreams, and determination. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co    You have the power to transform what you see into something extraordinary, something that reflects the very essence of who you are and who you are becoming. Renowned author Kristianne Wargo once said, "Don't let your current circumstances define your future possibilities." These words hold a profound truth - just because you see limitations or challenges in front of you does not mean you are bound to them. You have the ability to shape your own destiny, to mold your reality into something that fulfills you and brings joy to your life. The K.I.S.S. ~ What you see is NOT what you get! So, how can you harness the power within you to turn what you see into a stepping stone toward greatness? Start by acknowledging the present moment, accepting where you are, but refusing to settle for anything less than your best. Embrace the opportunity for growth, for change. Consider this: What aspects of your life are no longer serving you? What beliefs or patterns are holding you back from reaching your full potential? It's time to prune away the dead branches, to clear the path for new growth and new opportunities. Your circumstances do not define you - they are simply the starting point for your next chapter. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, you have the choice to shape your reality, to craft a life that aligns with your values and aspirations. Embrace the journey of growth, of transformation, of becoming the best version of yourself. What you see is not the end, but the beginning of a beautiful, awe-inspiring story waiting to unfold. It's time to grow where you are planted. It's time to prune what isn't working. It's time to understand the place you stand, but know you have a choice not to stay there. Your future is bright, and tomorrow is limitless. So go forth with courage, with determination, and with the unwavering belief that what you see is NOT what you get. Remember: You hold the brush, you paint the picture, and you, with God, create the masterpiece of your life. Create your now!   "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"     #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation
