AS YOU STAND AT THE CROSSROADS OF FAMILIARITY AND CHANGE, REMEMBER THAT THE JOURNEY TOWARDS SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS NOT JUST ABOUT REACHING A DESTINATION BUT ABOUT THE TRANSFORMATION. BREAK AWAY FROM THE PAST. A quarter of our year is gone. Many of us find ourselves longing for something more, something different than the familiar tunes and routines that have defined the first few months. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * We've got that stirring within us. That desire beckoning us to explore uncharted territories and break away from the past. Transitioning from the comfort of what you know to the uncertainty of what could be is a journey fraught with both trepidation and excitement.  This untold story, this yearning for something different, is a whisper from your soul, the nudge in your gut, urging you to step out of your comfort zone and embrace the unknown. It is in these moments of reflection that you find the courage to take a leap of faith, to pursue a path that may be unconventional yet ultimately fulfilling.  Embracing change, even when it appears daunting and overwhelming, opens doors to new possibilities and opportunities you may have never considered before. To inspire oneself to move in a different direction requires a deep sense of self-awareness and a willingness to let go of preconceived notions of what our lives should look like. And a lot of that comes from our past.  If we are going to elevate where we are headed, then it demands that we listen to the whispers of our hearts and trust in our intuition to guide us toward the path we are meant to tread. Who you are becoming. Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!! The only constant in life is change. Embracing change is not about erasing the past, but about acknowledging its presence while paving the way for a brighter, more fulfilling future.  What would happen if you honored yourself by breaking away from the past, meaning letting it go, and moving into what is happening in the NOW?  In the midst of uncertainty, remember these words of wisdom from Choosing to forge a new path, to embrace the unfamiliar, may be intimidating, but it is in this boldness that you find freedom and truth. You get to become who you are becoming! As you stand at the crossroads of familiarity and change, remember that the journey toward something different is not just about reaching a destination but about the transformation that occurs along the way. What's old may indeed become new again, but it is in the exploration of the uncharted that we discover the depth of your greatness. *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

WHERE ARE CHARGE OR AGGRESSIVE THOUGHTS NECESSARY IN THE GAME OF LIFE? HOW YOU HANDLE YOUR EMOTIONS WILL DETERMINE WHERE YOUR THOUGHTS GO. SLAM DUNK YOUR THOUGHTS BY CONTROLLING YOUR EMOTIONS. Emotional regulation is a real thing. Thought Madness Bracket:Click here to get your bracket! DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * And if you don't learn how to manage your emotions, they will manage you, which leads to an entanglement of thoughts, behaviors, and actions that can send you spiraling out of control. And you wonder why you find yourself where you are. We've been going through this "Thought Madness" in conjunction with March Madness. There are so many plot twists as to who makes it to the Sweet 16, Elite 8, and the Final Four.  But now we know-- UConn, Alabama, Purdue, and NC State. If you watched any of those Elite 8 games, at times, the opponent was ahead of the ones who actually moved on to the Final Four. But the difference maker in the games was their thoughts.  Their thoughts had to get them to the other side of the points being less than and thinking they were more than. At one point in the game between Duke and NC State, Burns (the NC State player) was seen dancing during a review. He present in what he was doing. He didn't lose control when everything seemed out of his control. He struck HIS beat and danced until the next step. How are you regulating your emotions so you can manage your thoughts? Because when you are facing the full-court press of overwhelming emotions, just like in basketball, you have got to slam dunk those unruly thoughts and emotions together! That means you control what you control.  Don't let the excuses that you can't do something or change something. You control YOU!!! So step up to the free throw line, and hit the shot! Be deliberate. Be present. Be incredible. Be who you are becoming! 1. AWARENESS: Emotional regulation begins with self-awareness, acknowledging and understanding your emotions and their triggers. By recognizing how you feel, you can identify potential emotional responses. 2. IDENTIFY: Once you are aware of your emotions, you can identify whether they are helping or hindering your thoughts. This step involves labeling your emotions and understanding their impact on your thoughts and actions. 3. EVALUATION: Emotional regulation requires evaluating the intensity of your emotions and deciding on an appropriate response. This involves considering the context of the situation and the potential consequences of different reactions. 4. RESPONSE: Effective emotional regulation involves choosing a response that aligns with your goals and values rather than reacting impulsively. This may involve techniques such as deep breathing, positive self-talk, or taking a moment to pause and reflect. 5. ADAPT: Emotional regulation also involves adapting your responses based on feedback and outcomes. If a particular response proves ineffective, you can adjust your approach and learn from your experiences. 6. PRACTICE: Like any skill, emotional regulation improves with practice. By consistently practicing techniques to manage your emotions, you can enhance your ability to regulate your feelings and navigate challenging situations effectively. Overall, emotional regulation empowers you to maintain composure, make informed decisions, foster positive relationships, and cope with stress more effectively, and have thoughts that serve you well in your every day. It is a valuable tool for personal growth, resilience, and overall well-being. Are you ready for your first slam dunk? *   #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

"PRAISE BE TO THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! IN HIS GREAT MERCY, HE HAS GIVEN US NEW BIRTH INTO A LIVING HOPE THROUGH THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD." ~ 1 PETER 1:3 Here comes our hope. He is risen. He is risen indeed. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * With Christians around the world, we rejoice together in Jesus Christ's resurrection, which symbolizes the ultimate act of sacrifice and is a beacon of hope for all. Today and every day, we reflect on the profound significance of this event and find comfort in the promise of redemption and renewal. The essence of Easter is a celebration of new beginnings, eternal hope, and boundless grace. In times of uncertainty and turmoil, it is easy to lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. However, the resurrection of Jesus serves as a poignant reminder that even in our darkest hours, there is always hope.  Romans 15:13 reminds us, "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 the power of the Holy Spirit." God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Here comes our hope- a living hope! As we meditate on the significance of Easter, let us embrace the profound love and sacrifice that God has bestowed upon us.  "In the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we find not only hope but a sacrificial love that surpasses all understanding." ~ Kristianne Wargo Let us walk in the light of this eternal hope and allow it to guide us through life's trials and tribulations.  When you do that, your joy will overflow. You will celebrate Easter every day. If you want me to be honest, that is my desire for you- you celebrating Easter every day. That's when you are content with whose you are and the love He has for you. It's not about what the world has to offer or the pattern of the world, it's knowing that you are a beloved child of God. That's where your joy comes from, not dictated by your circumstances or situations. Look at the God's picture...Walk in Jesus Christ's overflow of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.  He is risen. He is risen indeed. *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

FORGIVENESS IS A PROFOUND ACT THAT HAS THE CAPACITY TO REDEFINE AND ELEVATE MARRIAGES TO NEW HEIGHTS OF UNDERSTANDING AND COMPASSION. THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS IS TRULY A TRANSFORMATIVE ACT THAT CULTIVATES HARMONY.  If you use forgiveness in your marriage, it can strengthen bonds and mend wounds.  DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * The act of forgiving not only heals wounds but also cultivates a deeper connection between a couple, fostering a sense of renewal and grace. It's this energy that keeps engaging the heart to expand wider and deeper.  As Kristianne Wargo wisely said, "Forgiveness changes you! You can't forgive and not be changed yourself." When you are considering forgiveness, you must look at the resentment meter. Resentment is a complex emotion that arises from feelings of unfairness, bitterness, or anger towards someone, often stemming from past grievances or perceived injustices. It can slowly erode a marriage and create barriers to communication and emotional intimacy.  Letting go of resentment is crucial for healing and restoring harmony in marriage. And that's all in the process of forgiveness. "If you forgive, resentment can't be borrowed." ~ Kristianne Wargo You can't go to your heart and withdraw resentment. It won't exist because you forgave. Now, as you may know, this week is Holy Week. And today, we are in between the stage of the crucifixion and the resurrection. And so I want to take a more direct approach to challenge our thinking on how we can understand the depth of forgiveness and why it's so powerful in marriage. The concept of forgiveness in the context of Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross for our sins holds profound parallels to marriage and sacrificial love.  Just as Christ demonstrated the ultimate act of forgiveness and sacrificial love through His crucifixion and resurrection, couples can draw inspiration from His example to cultivate forgiveness and selfless love within their marital relationships. And if you are going to do this, you've gotta ready your heart God's way. 1. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: Just as Jesus showed limitless love and forgiveness towards humanity by sacrificing Himself for our sins, you can aspire to embody a similar spirit of unconditional love in your marriage. Sacrificial love entails putting aside personal desires and ego-driven needs to prioritize the well-being and happiness of one's sweetheart. You can nurture a deep and enduring bond built on grace, compassion, and empathy by choosing to forgive readily and love sacrificially. 2. REDEMPTION AND RENEWAL: The resurrection of Jesus symbolizes the victory over sin and death, offering a path to redemption and spiritual renewal for all believers. In a marital context, forgiveness serves as a catalyst for redemption and transformation within the relationship. By extending forgiveness and seeking reconciliation, you both can experience a renewal of trust, harmony, and intimacy, allowing for growth and healing to take place. This process of renewal through forgiveness paves the way for a strengthened and revitalized marriage.  "Forgiveness changes you! You can't forgive and not be changed yourself." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. SERVANT LEADERSHIP: Jesus didn't come to earth to be served, but to serve! He exemplified servant leadership through His acts of compassion, humility, and sacrifice, setting a model for believers to follow in their interactions with others. In marriage, practicing forgiveness and sacrificial love involves adopting a servant-hearted approach towards one's spouse. By seeking to serve rather than be served, spouses can create a culture of mutual respect, support, and understanding within their relationship. Can you imagine how different marriages would be if you married to serve instead of expecting to be served? Through acts of selflessness and forgiveness, you can emulate Christ's example of servant leadership and cultivate a harmonious and fulfilling marriage centered on sacrificial love. In essence, the power of forgiveness in the context of Jesus Christ's sacrifice and resurrection underscores the transformative impact of forgiveness, sacrificial love, and redemption in marriage. By drawing parallels between Christ's example of forgiveness and sacrificial love and applying these principles to your marriage, you, as a couple, can create a deep sense of compassion, grace, and unity, building a bond that reflects the divine love and forgiveness demonstrated through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. *   #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

CHANGE IS A CONSTANT THREAD THAT WEAVES THROUGH EVERY STORY IN THE TAPESTRY OF LIFE. HOWEVER, CHANGE DOESN'T ALWAYS APPEAR BENEFICIAL ON THE SURFACE. DON'T GET FRUSTRATED—FRUSTRATION IS NOT THE ENEMY. Life doesn't have to be all crazy and chaotic. Yes, there are times when CRAP is thrown at you, and it's all you can do to stay afloat. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * But don't jump ship! Don't let your feelings and emotions get the best of you. As you know, today is Good Friday. Good Friday signifies an end of what was of the world with the hope of sending His Son, Jesus Christ, who walked the earth and then was crucified on the cross for our sins so that we might be saved. I can only imagine what God saw when the world He created was in turmoil. What He created as beauty turned to ashes. Yet, God is God, and He made a way for good to shine through the bad.   Good Friday signifies an end to making way for new beginnings. a newfound hope.  You see, parenthood mirrors this cycle; you lose what was familiar to you, yet excited for the birth of something new.  Kids change you, and they change your reality.  Just as God's sending of His Son transformed the world, raising children transforms parents. How can we harness the frustrations that accompany change and the unknown adventure ahead, and put the emphasis on what is good and holy? You gotta focus on what is good and holy. That's hard to do. You work hard, have long days, and then are expected to come home and raise your kids with smiles on your faces. As my grandson says to me, "I've had a hard day!" This is echoed with a long sigh. Where do you think he hears that? His dad and mom. It's imperative that we raise our kids with grace, not only for them but for ourselves. And being realistic in what we can do, and know we are doing it to the best of our ability. Focus on what is good and holy. How can you be the mama or dada who holds their child close with their heart in mind? 1. PRACTICE PATIENCE: In moments of frustration, choose patience. Understand that change takes time and that growth often comes from navigating challenges with resilience. Allow yourself grace in the process, recognizing that transformation is gradual. 2. CULTIVATE GRATITUDE: Amidst the chaos of parenting, pause to count your blessings. Gratitude shifts your focus from what you lack to what you have, fostering a mindset of abundance. By appreciating the small moments of joy, you magnify the beauty of life's journey. Don't always look at the ashes; see the beauty in the ashes. 3. SEEK SUPPORT: Parenthood is a shared experience. Reach out to fellow parents, mentors, or faith communities for guidance and comfort. Building a support network equips you with the tools to navigate the complexities of raising children while fostering a sense of community. Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV): "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." "Life is beautiful. Life is hard. Life is manageable when you see the blessings in the messes." - Kristianne Wargo God gave that to us. As we journey through the ebb and flow of life, let us not view frustration as an obstacle but as an opportunity for growth. By embracing change with patience, gratitude, and support, you become a living legacy that transcends generations. Just as Good Friday heralded a new dawn, let us approach parenthood with a sense of purpose, knowing that our actions today shape the future for our children tomorrow. *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

WHY DO WE FREAK OUT WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG, AND THE UNEXPECTED OCCURS? LIFE IS A ZIG-ZAG PATH THAT STRAIGHTENS OUT WHEN THE HEART IS PRESENT. KEEP ZIG-ZAGGING DOWN YOUR PATH. YOU GOT THIS! As you know, it's easy to feel like giving up in the midst of challenge and adversity. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * The road ahead may seem long and uncertain, with obstacles at every turn. But our greatest growth and strength are often born in these moments of difficulty.  These words remind us that despite the twists and turns we may encounter, staying true to our passions and beliefs will ultimately lead us to the right path. When faced with setbacks and obstacles, it's important to remember that nothing is impossible. The journey to success may not always be a smooth one, and there may be times when we feel lost or overwhelmed. But it's during these testing times that our resilience and determination are truly put to the test. As author Robert H. Schuller once said, "Tough times never last, but tough people do." This is a powerful reminder that no matter how difficult the road may seem, we have the strength within us to persevere and overcome any challenge that comes our way. It's important to embrace the detours and setbacks you encounter, for they often lead us to new opportunities and unexpected blessings. As we navigate through life's ups and downs, it's crucial to stay focused on our goals and maintain faith in our abilities. In the words of Kristianne Wargo, "One track does not always lead you down the right path." These words urge you to remain open to new possibilities, even if they take you off your original course. Sometimes, the unexpected paths lead us to our greatest discoveries and achievements. So, when the going gets tough, remember that every obstacle is a stepping stone on the path to success. Stay true to your vision, embrace the challenges that come your way, and never lose faith in your ability to overcome adversity. The road to achievement may be winding, but with perseverance and a resilient heart, you can navigate any obstacle that stands in your way. *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

So, what are some alternative exercises that can help you achieve a strong core? 1. RESISTANCE BAND WORKOUTS: Incorporating resistance bands into your workout routine can effectively target your core muscles while standing. Research from the Journal of Human Kinetics indicates that resistance band exercises not only engage core muscles but also improve muscular strength and endurance without the need for floor exercises (Source: Journal of Human Kinetics, Vol. 56, 2017). 2. INTENTIONAL BODYWEIGHT RESISTANCE TRAINING: Performing bodyweight exercises like planks, mountain climbers, or standing leg raises can effectively engage your core muscles without the need to lay on the floor. A study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research reveals that bodyweight exercises can enhance core stability and strength, promoting functional fitness and overall health (Source: J Strength Cond Res. 2021 Sep 1;35(9):2421-2427). 3. STABILITY BALL MOVEMENTS: Utilizing a stability ball can provide an unstable surface, forcing your core muscles to work harder to maintain balance and stability. Research from the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy shows that incorporating stability ball exercises can help activate core muscles and improve core stability, making it a great alternative to traditional floor exercises (Source: Int J Sports Phys Ther. 2012 Dec; 7(6): 665–675). 4. ENGAGE AND REACH: This exercise involves standing upright and engaging your core muscles while reaching your arms overhead or to the side. By maintaining proper posture and engaging your core, you can effectively work on strengthening your abdominal muscles without the need to lay down on the floor. Kristianne Wargo says, "Building a strong core doesn't have to be a pain on the floor. Embrace innovative exercises that can help you achieve a toned midsection without ever needing a mat."

SELF-DOUBT OFTEN PLAYS THE ROLE OF THE FORMIDABLE OPPONENT IN THE VAST ARENA OF OUR MINDS, WHISPERING WORDS OF HESITATION AND UNCERTAINTY. DON'T LET YOUR PROGRESS AND GREATNESS BE BLOCKED. DRIBBLE THROUGH DOUBT. Because what if, instead of evading it, you choose to confront self-doubt head-on, dribbling through its defenses with unwavering determination and courage? DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * What would that do for you right now?  How would you be able to tackle what's right in front of you? When would you be less likely to believe the lies you tell yourself? Renowned author and motivational speaker, Nick Vujicic, once said, "It's a lie to think you're not good enough. It's a lie to think you're not worth anything."  Self-doubt is often based on misconceptions and falsehoods you tell yourself. It is a barrier constructed by your own mind, waiting to be dismantled through introspection and action. So get out of your own way. Drop the excuses. Dribble through doubt. You got this! In the words of self-help author, Louise Hay, "Remember, you have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn't worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens."  Break free from the self-critism, that self-doubt that is crippling you.  Shift your mindset toward compassion, and empower yourself to reach for your dreams. Nothing is impossible.  Unless you set up the roadblocks that keep you stumbling. Kristianne Wargo aptly puts it, "Self-doubt is a cage we've built with our own hands. Yet, we hold the key to freedom when we dismantle the cage with thoughts that serve." Dribble through doubt.  And even if you find it hanging out with you, challenge its validity.  "You only make real in your mind what you believe." ~ Kristianne Wargo As you navigate the intricate dance between your aspirations and insecurities, remember that self-doubt is not a permanent fixture but a transient shadow that can be dispelled by the light of your determination.  Dribble through doubt.  Block it with resilience and a deeper belief that you can do anything you set your mind to.  In the wise words of Eleanor Roosevelt, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."  Reclaim your presence and create your now! *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED HOW EASILY NEGATIVE THOUGHTS CAN TAKE ROOT IN YOUR MIND? YOU GO FROM BEING ON TOP OF YOUR GAME TO WALLOWING IN MISERY AND WHAT-IFS. HOW WILL YOUR THOUGHTS FAIL YOU? How you shoot those thoughts in your head determines whether or not you will propel yourself to success or slam you into the wall of another failure. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * With March Madness in full swing, the Sweet 16 has been decided. Did your teams make it? But you know, it didn't come with ease. The players had to overcome many obstacles, especially the ones between their ears. Lots of decisions are made on the court. And the game moves so swiftly that if you linger too long on one thought, you lose the advantage. You get left behind. Research shows that our brains have a negativity bias, meaning we tend to remember and focus more on negative experiences rather than positive ones. I'm sure you've found yourself a time or two swimming with negative thoughts that won't go away. And for a moment, it's not a big deal. It's like swimming in paradise, all too familiar. But then, the water (those thoughts) get heavier and begin to weigh you down. Now, you're no longer in paradise, but struggling in sinking sand. What is that inner dialogue that you have with yourself every day? What keeps coming back up for you-- at home, at work, at play? Because you do realize that your thoughts control your day, especially your reactions. Right? It would be great if you would respond, but at the time, you didn't have it together, and all you felt was the pressure to react. There you go, spiraling downhill. __ __ Negative self-talk can spiral into self-doubt, leading to a lack of confidence and poor performance. But how can you take control of your thoughts and prevent them from sabotaging your success? How do you rise above the mental attack within yourself, within your mind? How will you overcome the thoughts so your thoughts don't overcome you? Establish your "thought clock"! This reminds me of the shot clock for basketball. The shot clock is a crucial component of the game that ensures fast-paced and exciting gameplay.  So let's take our THOUGHT MADNESS a little further and impose the THOUGHT CLOCK, a shot clock for your thoughts to keep your game of life moving in the right direction. 1. PREVENT STALLING - Don't run out your time on kicking your negative thoughts to the curb. It's time those negative thoughts are put in their place, allowing for more skillful and intentional thoughts to shine through, the positive ones that are a gamechanger. When you prevent stalling, you can move faster than the negative thoughts. 2. PROMOTE FAIRNESS - Unfortunately, negative thoughts always have the upper hand. This changes when you have the Thought Clock. Imagine if you gave as much time to positive thoughts as you do negative thoughts, how would that influence the outcome? This element of fairness gives you permission to shut down what isn't working for you.  Go back and look at your Thought Madness Bracket. Which teams of thoughts are ahead? Hopefully, you are giving yourself a chance to walk your miles of greatness by more positive thoughts winning. 3. INCREASE ACTION - It's all about offensive skill, taking shots within a reasonable amount of time. You have got to silence the thoughts that weigh you down and reframe the thoughts that are in hiding. If you don't use the skills you have, the talents and gifts you possess, how will that help you in the game of life. Get back on the court and decide that great things are possible. As renowned basketball player Michael Jordan said, "You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them." You must challenge yourself to be a participant in your thoughts. If you want to be ALL IN in the game of your life, you have got to use the Thought Clock, it's like the shot clock. Did you know the shot clock is a fundamental rule in basketball that enhances the competitiveness and excitement of the sport by promoting active gameplay, preventing stalling tactics, and ensuring a fair and dynamic playing field. Your thoughts can be powerful allies or formidable opponents. Who do you want to win every day? Take your thoughts captive. Remember, as Kristianne Wargo reminds us, "Your thoughts create your now – choose them wisely." *   #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

AS JESUS CHRIST ENTERED JERUSALEM ON THAT FATEFUL DAY AMIDST CRIES OF "HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST," HE DID SO WITH A PROFOUND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT LAY AHEAD. TRIUMPHS TO TRIBULATIONS; A BLESSING IN DISGUISE FOR YOU AND ME. Despite the jubilant reception and praises of the crowd, Jesus knew that within the walls of the city, betrayal, suffering, and the ultimate sacrifice awaited Him. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * While filled with adoration, these accolades could not shield Jesus from the imminent trial of his faith and the fulfillment of his ultimate purpose. With unwavering resolve and unwavering faith, Jesus moved forward, embracing his destiny even as it led him to the city where he would be betrayed by one of his own. His entry into Jerusalem symbolized the paradox of triumph and tribulation, as the cries of "Hosanna" mingled with the shadows of the cross that awaited Him. Do you ever feel like you have reached the pinnacle, only to find a deeper plunge into the unknown on the other side? Life has a way of twisting and turning, from trials and tribulations to triumphs. And then, it repeats itself again. However, the key I noticed was that Jesus had faith. He knew His purpose and was more than willing to follow through. Would you be willing to do the same? Are you willing to do the same? In the face of impending betrayal, Jesus' courage and conviction shone brightly, illuminating the path for all who would follow. His journey into Jerusalem serves as a poignant reminder that true strength lies not in avoiding adversity, but in facing it head-on with steadfast faith and unwavering purpose. As we contemplate Jesus's entry into the city where betrayal awaited Him, let us be inspired by his example of enduring faith and sacrificial love. May we carry the spirit of "Hosanna in the highest" in our hearts, acknowledging that even in the darkest moments, the light of redemption and salvation shines brightest. *   #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

SO LONG AS YOUR PAST IS IN THE PAST, YOU CAN BE PRESENT IN YOUR MARRIAGE. HOWEVER, MANY COUPLES STRUGGLE BECAUSE THE PAST IS STILL PRESENT. YOU MUST STOP THE MADNESS IN YOUR MARRIAGE IF YOU WANT TO LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. The lingering remnants of our past can cast a long shadow over the present, shaping our relationships in unexpected ways. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * Unaddressed traumas, unresolved conflicts, and buried emotions can morph into a looming Mount Everest. As Kristianne Wargo wisely puts it, "The trash of your past needs to be taken out or it becomes an overwhelming mountain of C.R.A.P. It stinks, it smells, it shackles the heart."  In order to break free from the chains of the past and pave the way for a thriving marriage, it is imperative to confront the buried burdens head-on. If you choose to hide from the past, it will haunt you down and destroy your marriage. Put on your big girl panties! I know you have the courage to face your past. I understand it won't be easy and you might even uncover some things you didn't think was a big deal. But the key is to know and understand to the best of your ability, so you can move forward with confidence that your past is simply that-- your past! Here are three actionable steps that spouses can take to navigate the complexities of their past and cultivate a healthier present for their marriage: 1. ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THE PAST Self-awareness serves as the first step towards healing. Recognize the impact of past traumas, generational patterns, and unresolved conflicts on your present behavior and relationships. You can't heal what you don't acknowledge. Stop using the excuse of not knowing, and learn what has been holding you back in your past. By confronting those shadows with honesty and vulnerability, you make a way to reach the freedom to love deeper. 2. BREAK THE OLD PATTERNS A lot of what we carry with us comes from our past experiences, which are fueled by generational patterns. Our parents and grandparents and everyone in between have an influence on how we lead our lives. However, there comes a point in life where we have to look at what is good for us as an individual and then as a couple. By breaking free from the cycle of generational sins, you create space for personal growth and relational harmony. Author Haruki Murakami, "If you can't understand it without an explanation, you can't understand it with an explanation." In other words, just because it made sense in the past doesn't mean it is right for you in the present. 3. FORGIVE TO LET GO Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself first. When you forgive, you are giving away what is burying your heart deep in the dungeon of despair. And then, it's that forgiveness that sweeps away the dust bunnies in the nooks and crannies that steals away your courage to heal from the hurts. You can heal, but you have to forgive to let go!  As Kristianne Wargo aptly states, "At some point, you have to face your past so you can be present today." CHALLENGE: How have you dealt with your past? Or have you? By embarking on this journey of self-discovery, forgiveness, and growth, spouses can unravel the shackles of the past and forge a path toward a more resilient and genuine marriage. In the timeless words of Maya Angelou, "History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again." Some things need not be repeated; they must be left in the past and dealt with. Stop the madness in your marriage! *   #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

TRUST AND RESPECT ARE BUILT NOT ONLY ON OUR ACTIONS BUT ALSO ON OUR VERBAL INTERACTIONS WITH OUR CHILDREN. PARENTS, YOUR WORDS CARRY WEIGHT.  EVERY WORD YOU UTTER SHAPES YOUR CHILD'S PERCEPTIONS AND SELF-ESTEEM. Mom (and Dad)-- your words hold immense power! DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * In moments of frustration or inattention, we may inadvertently speak words that hurt rather than heal. It's crucial to be mindful of the language we use with our children. So let me ask you-- how do you speak to your child? What words do you find yourself repeating? In what circumstances do you use certain words? "Do not underestimate the impact your words have on your child's emotional well-being," says Child Psychologist, Dr. Sarah Johnson. "Words have the power to build or break a child's self-esteem and confidence." If you want to build your child up, build a foundation of trustworthy words. Consider your words seeds that will bloom and blossom when given the right fertilizer, the circumstances in which they are used. In order to foster positive communication with our children, here are three steps parents can take to improve their language: 1. PRACTICE ACTIVE LISTENING: Instead of simply issuing commands or criticisms, take the time to actively listen to your child's thoughts and feelings. Ask open-ended questions to encourage dialogue and show genuine interest in their responses. For example, instead of saying, "Clean your room now!" try asking, "How was your day? What made you feel happy or sad today?" Parenting coach, Emma Roberts emphasizes, "Active listening conveys respect for your child's perspective and fosters a sense of understanding and empathy." 2. USE POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS: Incorporate positive affirmations into your daily interactions with your child. Offer words of encouragement and praise for their efforts and achievements. Instead of focusing on shortcomings, highlight their strengths and potential. For instance, say, "I am proud of how hard you worked on that project" or "You are so creative and thoughtful." Parenting author, Mark Smith shares, "Positive affirmations help nurture a child's self-confidence and motivate them to strive for success." 3. PRACTICE PATIENCE AND EMPATHY: In moments of frustration or anger, take a pause before responding to your child. Consider their feelings and perspective before reacting impulsively. Show empathy by acknowledging their emotions and validating their experience. Instead of dismissing their concerns, offer comforting words and reassurance. For example, say, "I understand that you are upset. Let's talk about why you feel that way." Parenting educator, Maria Garcia advocates, "Practicing patience and empathy creates a safe and supportive environment for your child to express themselves openly." Kristianne Wargo aptly says, "Our words shape our children's world. Let's choose them wisely and kindly." Remember, the way we speak to our children can have a lasting impact on their self-esteem and emotional well-being. Let's strive to choose our words thoughtfully and nurture a positive and trusting relationship with our little ones. *   #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

ARE YOU TIRED OF CONSTANTLY PUSHING TASKS TO THE BACK BURNER? OVERWHELMED BY THE MOUNTAIN OF WORK STARING YOU IN THE FACE? IT'S TIME TO STOP PROCRASTINATING AND ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES. Tackle what needs to be done now. Create your now! DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * In the words of best-selling author Karen Lamb, "A year from now you may wish you had started today." This sentiment rings true for many of us. That project you keep delaying, that dream you haven't pursued – they won't accomplish themselves. It's up to you to take the first step. Procrastination often stems from fear of failure or perfectionism. However, as author and researcher Brené Brown advises, "What we know matters, but who we are matters more." It's not about getting everything right the first time; it's about showing up and putting in the effort. Now is the time to heed the advice of motivational speaker Les Brown, who famously said, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." By taking action and confronting the tasks at hand, you open yourself up to new possibilities and opportunities. In the words of Kristianne Wargo, "Don't wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect." Perfection is an illusion. Progress, however, is real. It's about making small steps each day towards your goals. So, stop making excuses. Excuses only serve to hold you back and limit your potential. Instead, face your challenges head-on with determination and grit. You have the strength within you to accomplish great things – but only if you take that first crucial step. Remember, as American author Napoleon Hill once said, "The starting point of all achievement is desire." What do you desire? What are you willing to work for? The answers lie within you. It's time to seize the day, to embrace the tasks in front of you with confidence and determination. Don't let procrastination rob you of your potential. Take that first step today and watch as doors begin to open, opportunities arise, and your dreams inch closer to reality. *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

TOO OFTEN, WE SET OURSELVES UP FOR FAILURE REGARDING HEALTHY LIVING. WE THINK IT'S ALL-OR-NOTHING. WE PUT OFF WHAT MATTERS TODAY TO GET A SECOND CHANCE TOMORROW. CAST AWAY YOUR SECOND THOUGHTS AND LIVE IN FREEDOM. In the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, the pressure to go all in or nothing can often lead to feelings of failure and discouragement. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * However, embracing a perspective of living in the moment can empower individuals to make positive choices for their health and well-being each day. The key is to live in freedom. Boundaries are one thing, but rigidity is something else. Here are three simple strategies to eradicate the struggles of the all-or-nothing mentality and cultivate a mindset of freedom in your healthy living journey: 1. EMBRACE MINDFUL EATING: Instead of rigid diet plans or strict meal restrictions, focus on practicing mindful eating. Allow yourself to fully enjoy and savor each bite of your meals, paying attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues. As health coach Megan Roosevelt wisely said, "Eating mindfully is about listening to your body, nourishing yourself, and enjoying the experience of eating without judgment." 2. PRIORITIZE MOVEMENT YOU LOVE: Exercise shouldn't feel like a punishment or obligation. Find physical activities that bring you joy and make you feel good. Whether it's dancing, hiking, or practicing yoga, moving your body in ways that you genuinely enjoy can lead to sustainable habits. As fitness expert Gabby Reece said, "Movement is a celebration of what your body can do, not a punishment for what you ate." 3. PRACTICE SELF-COMPASSION: Be kind to yourself on your journey to a healthy lifestyle. Remember that progress is not always linear, and setbacks are a natural part of growth. Offer yourself the same compassion and encouragement you would give a friend facing a challenge. As Kristianne Wargo astutely said, "In the pursuit of wellness, remember to be kind to yourself. Progress is progress, no matter how small." By incorporating these strategies into your daily routine, you can break free from the all-or-nothing mentality and embrace a lifestyle of freedom and balance. Remember, each small step you take towards better health is a victory in itself. *   #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

SOMETIMES, WE HIDE FROM WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TODAY, HOPING WE WON'T HAVE TO FACE IT TOMORROW. BUT TOMORROW BECOMES TODAY. SO IF YOU WANT TO GET AHEAD OF WHAT YOU DON'T WANT, JUST DO THE THING. Get it out of the way and expand your day! There is always something greater on the horizon. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * You've probably found yourself putting off a task, a conversation, or a decision, hoping that somehow it will resolve itself miraculously by the time tomorrow comes around? We often fall into that trap of procrastination, delaying the inevitable, only to find that tomorrow has arrived, and the task still looms before us. In the words of renowned motivational speaker, Tony Robbins, "The only impossible journey is the one you never begin." How true this is in our daily lives. By avoiding facing the challenges and responsibilities of today, we only set ourselves up for a cycle of perpetual delay and missed opportunities. As Kristianne Wargo wisely points out, "Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage." Each time you choose to tackle the task at hand, no matter how daunting it may seem, you are expanding your capacity for growth and success. Instead of allowing fear and uncertainty to hold you back, taking that first step propels you forward into a realm of endless possibilities. Procrastination not only hinders your progress, but also weighs heavily on your mind, draining your energy and enthusiasm. By simply mustering the courage to "just do the thing," you free yourself from the shackles of indecision and open up a world of newfound clarity and purpose. In the words of renowned author Karen Lamb, "A year from now you may wish you had started today." Let this serve as a gentle reminder that the time to act is always now. Create your now! Embrace each challenge as an opportunity for growth, and watch as your courage and determination propel you toward a brighter future. As Kristianne Wargo aptly puts it, "Today's actions pave the way for tomorrow's triumphs." So, take that first step, confront that looming task, and witness how seizing the day can lead to a life filled with endless possibilities and endless rewards. Just do the thing! *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

IN THE GAME OF LIFE, LEARNING HOW TO HANDLE YOUR THOUGHTS CAN RESEMBLE A WILD JUMP BALL - CHAOTIC, UNPREDICTABLE, AND UP FOR GRABS. JUST LIKE IN BASKETBALL, CONTROLLING THE JUMP BALL OF THOUGHTS IS ESSENTIAL TO STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR GOALS. Thought Madness Bracket:Click here to get your bracket! Controlling your thoughts is not just a matter of mental discipline; it is a crucial factor in determining the trajectory of your life. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * Our thoughts shape our beliefs, attitudes, and actions, ultimately influencing the outcomes we manifest. Just as a basketball player's mindset can impact their performance on the court, your thoughts have the power to propel you towards success or hold you back from achieving your dreams. When your thoughts are scattered and unfocused, like a loose ball bouncing aimlessly on the court, your energy and efforts become diffused. This lack of mental clarity hinders your ability to make strategic decisions, stay motivated, and persevere through challenges. Without a firm grip on your thoughts, you risk being tossed around by external circumstances and internal doubts, derailing your progress and leaving your goals out of reach. However, if you're willing to master your thoughts, nothing is impossible! Conversely, mastering your thoughts is like mastering the game of basketball – it requires skill, practice, and resilience. By taking control of your thoughts and steering them in alignment with your aspirations, you gain a competitive edge in the arena of life. When your thoughts are harmonized with your goals and values, you are better equipped to make purposeful choices, maintain focus amidst distractions, and bounce back from setbacks with determination. Here are three strategies to help you juggle your thoughts effectively and keep your mind centered on what truly matters. 1. FAST BREAK TO MINDFULNESS: When your thoughts are spinning out of control like a fast break, take a moment to ground yourself in mindfulness. Just like a basketball player who needs to slow down and focus on the next move, practice mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing or meditation to bring clarity to your mind. By being present in the moment, you can gain control over the flurry of thoughts vying for your attention. As author Eckhart Tolle once said: "Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life." 2. TRIPLE-DOUBLE YOUR SELF-TALK: Just as a triple-double in basketball signifies a player excelling in multiple areas, aim to excel in managing your self-talk. Monitor the story playing in your mind and challenge negative or distracting thoughts that hinder your progress. Replace them with positive affirmations and empowering beliefs that align with your goals. By cultivating a winning mindset, you can steer your thoughts towards success. Psychologist Carol Dweck famously said: "The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life." 3. FULL-COURT PRESS YOUR DISTRACTIONS: In the game of Thought Madness, distractions often act as defenders trying to steal your focus. Employ a full-court press strategy by identifying your main distractions and creating a plan to counter them. Whether it's setting boundaries with digital devices, organizing your workspace for optimal productivity, or prioritizing tasks effectively, take proactive steps to minimize distractions and keep your thoughts aligned with your objectives. "Take your thoughts captive to lead your mind into intentional action." ~ Kristianne Wargo Remember, just like a skilled basketball player controls the jump ball to their advantage, you can navigate your thoughts and steer them toward your desired destination.  In essence, the mind is the playing field where your dreams take shape, and your thoughts are the players that either work for or against you. By honing your mental game, cultivating a positive mindset, and consciously directing your thoughts toward what you desire, you set yourself up for success. Just as a basketball team relies on coordinated efforts and strategic plays to secure victory, your thoughts, when harnessed and disciplined, can lead you toward realizing your goals and dreams. *   #MindsetMonday #CreateYourNow #PersonalDevelopment 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

“BLESSED ARE YOU WHEN PEOPLE INSULT YOU, PERSECUTE YOU AND FALSELY SAY ALL KINDS OF EVIL AGAINST YOU BECAUSE OF ME. REJOICE AND BE GLAD, BECAUSE GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN, FOR IN THE SAME WAY THEY PERSECUTED THE PROPHETS WHO WERE BEFORE YOU." ~ MATTHEW 5:11-12 How connected are you to God? How present is He in your life? Do you tend to hide Him and only bring He out when you need Him? Or do you share Him with the world you touch? DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * Today, many celebrate St. Patrick's Day. And some use it to drink more, wear more green, and as an excuse to have a party. But there is so much more to know about St. Patrick, some from his biography and others from what was passed down through the centuries.  In the heart of ancient Ireland, amidst the lush green countryside where legends and faith intertwined, there lived a man known as St. Patrick. His story is not just a tale of distant times but a timeless journey of resilience, belief, and the profound impact one individual can have on the world around them. Born Maewyn Succat in Roman Britain, St. Patrick's life took a fateful turn when he was captured by Irish pirates and sold into slavery in the mystical lands of Ireland. In the shadows of hardship and solitude, he found solace in his unwavering faith, a flickering light amidst the darkness. It was in those moments of isolation that he heard a divine call, a whisper from God beckoning him to escape and carry the torch of Christianity across the Irish hills and valleys. Returning to his homeland, now a man of God, St. Patrick embarked on a mission that would shape the course of Irish history forever. Armed with unwavering conviction and an open heart, he traversed the rugged landscapes of Ireland, preaching the Gospel and baptizing thousands in the name of Christ. His teachings transcended the boundaries of language and culture, resonating with the souls of the Irish people and kindling a flame of faith that would burn brightly for centuries to come. In the words of St. Patrick himself, "I bind unto myself today the power of God to guide me, the might of God to uphold me, the wisdom of God to teach me." These words echo through the ages as a timeless reminder of the strength that comes from divine grace and the wisdom that springs from a heart attuned to God's will. How connected are you to God? Are you one who can honestly say that you are putting Him first in your life? Now, of course, this is between you and God. This is not about pointing fingers or declaring someone is more connected to God than someone else. This is personal! And that's how God wants it. He desires to be personal with you in everything that you do. As we reflect on the life and legacy of St. Patrick, draw strength from his example of perseverance and dedication. His life serves as a reminder that in the face of adversity, you can find courage and purpose through your faith. Embrace the challenges that lie before you with courage and faith, knowing that you can overcome any obstacles in your path with God's guidance. I want you to ponder this on St. Patrick's Day. The famous prayer known as "St. Patrick's Breastplate" or "The Lorica of St. Patrick." The full verse goes as follows: "Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise, Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me, Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, Christ in every eye that sees me, Christ in every ear that hears me." This powerful prayer reflects St. Patrick's deep faith in Christ's presence and protection in every aspect of his life, guiding him through challenges and triumphs on his mission to spread Christianity in Ireland. The words embody a sense of divine companionship and spiritual fortitude that continues to resonate with believers across the centuries. How connected are you to God?  Who do you see in your reflection? God or yourself? "Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me....." No matter what you face, are you able to rejoice and be glad? That answer is a reflection of God's presence in your life. Go in peace. *   #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

IN THE GARDEN OF MARRIAGE, LOVE IS THE SEED THAT MUST BE NURTURED TO ENSURE ITS CONTINUAL GROWTH. FOR THOSE SEEKING TO ELEVATE THEIR UNION TO GREATER HEIGHTS, THIS SEASON PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY OF DELIGHT – THE MORE LOVE GROWS.  How bad do you want a great marriage? DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * How bad do you want a great marriage? How great is your marriage? Are you enjoying life together? Are you really better together? Or you might be fighting more than loving. "Love is a verb requiring a decision to put the action in motion to unconditionally serve another soul." ~ Kristianne Wargo Here are three essential steps to cultivate and grow love in your marriage: 1. WHAT NEEDS TO GO? Let go of expectations and embrace acceptance. Unrealistic expectations can often become the bane of relationships. As Dr. Wayne Dyer once said, "Peace is the result of retraining your mind to process life as it is, rather than as you think it should be." By shedding expectations and accepting your partner for who they are, you can pave the way for mutual understanding and appreciation. "Love flourishes in the soil of acceptance." ~ Kristianne Wargo 2. WHAT NEEDS TO STAY? Cultivate open and honest communication. Communication is the lifeline of any successful marriage. It is imperative to create a safe space for both partners to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns openly. Relationship expert John Gottman says, "In an emotionally connected relationship, your vulnerability is rewarded with care, affection, and acceptance." "True love listens before it speaks." ~ Kristianne Wargo 3. WHAT NEEDS TO GROW? Nurture shared experiences and prioritize quality time together. Building a reservoir of memorable moments strengthens the bond between partners. Whether it's a romantic dinner date or a weekend getaway, investing in your relationship sets the foundation for a love that blossoms over time. In the words of author Mignon McLaughlin, "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." As you embark on this journey to grow your love this season, remember that progress takes time and dedication. By tending to the roots of your relationship and cultivating a nurturing environment, your love will undoubtedly flourish into something more profound and enduring. Now, take a moment and sow the seeds of love in your marriage, for as Kristianne Wargo reminds us, "Love is a garden that requires constant care and attention." **The More Love Grows**   In the season of Spring, where raindrops fall, And winds of change whisper their sweet call, Love blossoms like buds on a flowering tree, In the heart of you and me.   Nurtured by the gentle touch of care, Love flourishes beyond compare, Like petals dancing in the breeze, Entwined in a bond that never sees.   Through storms we weather, hand in hand, Love grows deeper, rooted in the land, Of trust and understanding, ever true, In the garden of us, love anew.   So let the rain of challenges pour, For in love's garden, we seek more, A layer of beauty to grace our souls, As the seasons change and love unfolds.   For in the garden where love is sown, It's in the nurturing that it's known, The more we tend, the more we see, Love's endless growth, eternally free.   So let us tend to this love we share, With hearts open and souls laid bare, For in the cycle of life that ebbs and flows, We find the beauty in how love grows. *   #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

IN A SOCIETY THAT OFTEN VALUES INDIVIDUALISM AND SELF-INTEREST, IT CAN BE CHALLENGING FOR PARENTS TO RAISE CHILDREN WHO EXHIBIT KINDNESS AND EMPATHY TOWARD OTHERS. HOW DO YOU RAISE COMPASSIONATE CHILDREN IN A SELF-CENTERED WORLD? As parents, we must instill these values early on and actively nurture them as our children grow. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * Teaching kindness goes beyond just manners; it involves fostering a genuine concern for others and a willingness to help and support those in need. It's doing what the average person wouldn't do; going above and beyond. I have a great friend, mentor, coach, you name it, he's it-- But his goal this year is to give away $100 every day. And he is including his kiddos in that so they understand the message of kindness. We can impact the world we touch in a manner that is respectful and kind regardless of who stands in front of us. So what are you doing to teach your child kindness? Are you showing them with your own actions toward them? Or are you mean and fussy with people most of the time? It's important to examine ourselves before we attempt to instill behaviors in others, especially our children. As you consider how you want your child to act, be sure to consider how you act. You can teach an old dog new tricks. So start from the beginning. Too often, we lead with the idea that we have to do what we have been doing. We get stuck in our ways and continue down the same path. For your tree to grow, you have to prune it from the bottom up—that's caring for it from the foundation. There's a time for everything and a season for every activity (Ecclesiastes 3:1). 'Tis the season to prune and build a strong foundation for your child to serve in their unique capacity. Here are three specific strategies parents can implement to encourage kindness in their children and shape their understanding of what it truly means to be kind: 1. IMITATE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE: Children learn through observation and imitation. By modeling acts of kindness and compassion in your own behavior, you are setting a powerful example for your children to follow. Whether it's helping a neighbor in need, volunteering in the community, or simply showing empathy toward others, your actions speak louder than words. As parenting expert Kristianne Wargo wisely noted, "Children are like sponges; they absorb the world around them. By embodying the values of kindness and compassion ourselves, we are teaching our children to do the same." 2. TEACH YOUR CHILD TO ASK, "HOW ARE YOU FEELING?": Empathy is at the core of kindness. Parents can nurture empathy in their children by encouraging them to consider the feelings and perspectives of others. This can be done through open communication, discussing emotions, and actively listening to their thoughts and concerns. Children develop a stronger sense of empathy towards others by fostering an understanding of different experiences and promoting compassion. Research by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that children who have been raised to be empathetic are more likely to engage in prosocial behaviors, such as sharing, helping, and cooperating with others. Cultivating empathy in children is a key ingredient in shaping their kindness towards others. 3. CREATE A GRATITUDE JAR: Gratitude and generosity are essential to kindness. Parents can cultivate these qualities in their children by practicing gratitude rituals, such as keeping a gratitude jar or journal for expressing thanks for acts of kindness. Encouraging children to give back to their community through volunteering or acts of generosity also reinforces the importance of caring for others. In the words of parenting author L.R. Knost, "It's not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world. It's our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless." By instilling values of gratitude and generosity, parents empower their children to make a positive impact on those around them. In conclusion, raising kind children in a self-centered world requires intentionality, consistency, and a dedication to nurturing qualities of empathy, compassion, and generosity. By implementing these strategies and fostering a culture of kindness in the home, parents can equip their children with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of the world with empathy and grace. Remember, as Kristianne Wargo wisely puts it, "Kindness begins at home, but its ripple effect can change the world." *   #ConfessionsOfAnUpsetMama #CreateYourNow #TodaysParent 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

IN THE MIDST OF LIFE'S CHAOS AND UNCERTAINTIES, THE PERFECT PATH MAY SEEM ELUSIVE. BUT WHAT IF THE KEY TO SUCCESS LIES IN EMBRACING IMPERFECTION AND NAVIGATING THE JOURNEY WITH RESILIENCE AND DETERMINATION? CHOOSE THE IMPERFECT PATH! Renowned author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins once aptly said, "Where focus goes, energy flows." DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * This resonates deeply with the idea of choosing the imperfect path. By directing our focus towards our goals, even amidst imperfections and setbacks, we allow our energy to flow towards progress and growth. As Zig Ziglar wisely noted, "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." Taking that first step, no matter how imperfect or uncertain, propels us forward on our path to success. It's about embracing imperfection as part of the process and understanding that each small step contributes to the bigger picture. In the words of Kristianne Wargo, "The road to success is not a straight line; it's a passionate zigzag of failures and victories that leads to progress in the pursuit of your purpose." Choosing the imperfect path means accepting the ups and downs, the failures and successes, as integral parts of the journey towards realizing our dreams. To the weary soul struggling to keep their eyes open and focus on the main thing, remember that imperfection is not a roadblock but a stepping stone towards growth. Embrace the challenges, stay focused, and watch as your dreams manifest into reality. Your imperfections make you uniquely equipped to navigate the path to success with authenticity and purpose. So, choose the imperfect path with courage and determination. Embrace the journey, celebrate the victories, and grow through the failures. Success is not about perfection; it's about resilience, perseverance, and the willingness to choose the imperfect path toward your dreams. *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

WE ALL KNOW THE SAYING, "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT," BUT HAVE YOU EVER STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR BODY RESPONDS TO THE FOOD YOU CONSUME? SO WHEN YOUR FOOD SMILES BACK, YOU ARE EATING FOR YOUR BODY. Your overall health and well-being can significantly impact your life and how you live it. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * And when you eat, it's not just about filling your stomach; it's about nourishing your body from the inside out. What was the last food you put in your mouth? Was it fruits and vegetables? Oh, wait—maybe something processed in a box or wrapper. Or could you have drunk your calories with that sugary sweet nectar? We have to know what we're eating, when we're eating, and why we're eating if we want to impact our overall health. Let's explore the concept of "When Your Food Smiles Back" and how you can discover what foods work best for your body. 1. BE MINDFUL OF HOW YOU FEEL Take note of how different foods make you feel after you eat them. Do you feel energized and satisfied, or do you experience bloating and fatigue? Paying attention to these signals can help you identify which foods your body thrives on. As nutritionist Mary Smith suggests, "Understanding the connection between what you eat and how you feel is key to eating for your body." 2. KEEP A FOOD JOURNAL Keeping a food journal can be a powerful tool in discovering what works for your body. Jot down what you eat each day and how you feel afterward. This practice can help you recognize patterns and pinpoint foods that may not agree with you. As health coach Sarah Johnson notes, "A food journal can provide valuable insights into your unique dietary needs and help you make informed choices." 3. EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT FOODS Don't be afraid to step out of your culinary comfort zone and try new foods. Experimenting with a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins can help you diversify your diet and uncover hidden gems that your body loves. According to chef and food writer Julia Adams, "Exploring different cuisines and ingredients can open up a world of possibilities for finding foods that truly nourish your body." "In the journey of health, the language of food speaks volumes when your body smiles back at you." - Kristianne Wargo Remember, eating for your body is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It's about listening to your body's cues and honoring its unique needs. By being mindful, keeping a food journal, and experimenting with different foods, you can unlock the secret to optimal health and vitality. *   #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

IN A WORLD WHERE LIMITATIONS OFTEN DICTATE OUR PATHS, THERE EXISTS A PURE ESSENCE OF ASTONISHMENT WAITING TO BE UNLOCKED WITHIN EACH OF US. DARE TO DREAM THE UNIMAGINEABLE. Strive for the unattainable; that is where the magic lies. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * Yet, how does one muster the audacity to transcend the borders of convention? How does one defy the odds stacked high against them and triumph in the face of adversity? The answer, my friend, lies not in the search for the possible but in the conviction that impossibility is merely a mirage. "The only limits that exist are the ones we allow to define us." - Kristianne Wargo Some may argue that the impossible is a notion crafted by the faint-hearted, a mantra of the disillusioned. Yet, amidst the cacophony of skepticism, there exists a symphony of believers, whispering tales of the extraordinary, stories of those who dared to chase the impossible and caught it by the tail. As Walt Disney once proclaimed, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." A sentiment echoed in the hearts of dreamers, visionaries, and pioneers throughout history. For it is in the realm of the impossible that true innovation takes root, where the seeds of greatness are sown, watered by resilience, and nurtured by unwavering faith. "The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible." - Arthur C. Clarke So, when the weight of doubt bears heavily upon your shoulders, when the whispers of naysayers cloud your vision, remember this: impossibility is but a construct of the mind, a barrier waiting to be shattered by the force of determination, by the power of belief. "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee In every corner, there exists a spark of greatness flickering within each of us, a flame waiting to be ignited by the winds of courage, fueled by the embers of perseverance. So, I beg you, do not shy away from the impossible, for within its shadow lies the light of endless possibilities waiting to be claimed by those audacious enough to reach for the stars. "In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take." - Lewis Carroll Are you ready to make a choice for a chance to reach for the stars? Embrace the impossible, for it is in the pursuit of the unimaginable that you discover your truest self, your deepest passion, and your most profound purpose. Let your dreams be your guiding stars, your North in a sea of uncertainty, and remember: nothing is impossible to those who dare to believe. "The only limits that exist are the ones we allow to define us." - Kristianne Wargo *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

AS FOR GOD, HIS WAY IS PERFECT: THE LORD’S WORD IS FLAWLESS; HE SHIELDS ALL WHO TAKE REFUGE IN HIM. ~ PSALM 18:30 Imagine a life in which you surrender to the wisdom and sovereignty of the Almighty instead of clinging desperately to control. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * A life where you release the burdens of decision-making and embrace the peace that comes from knowing that God's way is perfect. We open ourselves to a profound transformation when we acknowledge that the Lord's word is flawless. By relinquishing control to God, we invite His divine guidance into every aspect of our lives. We cease to rely solely on our limited understanding and instead lean on His infinite wisdom. Through prayer and reflection on His Word, we find comfort in knowing His plans for us are far greater than we could ever imagine (Jeremiah 29:11). In our everyday routine, giving control to God means letting go of worry and anxiety, as we trust that He is shielding us and guiding our steps. It means approaching challenges with faith and courage, knowing that His promises are true and His love never fails (Romans 8:28). It means finding joy in the midst of uncertainty, as we rest in the assurance that His way is always perfect.  "Surrendering control to God is not a sign of weakness, but a testament to our faith in His flawless plan for our lives." ~ Kristianne Wargo May you all be inspired to let go of the illusion of control and embrace the abundant blessings of taking refuge in Him. *   #SweetSpirit #CreateYourNow #SoulfulSunday 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

IN MARRIAGE, IT'S NOT UNCOMMON TO REACH A POINT WHERE TAKING THE NEXT STEP FEELS IMPOSSIBLE. CHANGE CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE, AND STAYING IN FAMILIAR TERRITORY IS EASIER. BUT WHAT IF YOU SAID YES? Sometimes saying yes to something new can lead to growth and strengthening the bond with your partner. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * If you really stop and think about it, a thriving marriage is the foundation to an incredible life; a story you get to write every day. But, unfortunately, we hang out too long in our comfort zones; the pain that straps us to the chair of conflict, the hurt that divides our hearts; the anger that repels the opportunity for emotional healing. Where are you in crossing the road in your marriage? Are you the one standing on one side, just watching as everything goes by? Are you the one standing on that same side struggling to get across quickly so you can move on? Or are you the one who is standing on one side, looking side to side, strategizing when it's the best time to cross to get to the other side? Depending on the season you're in, you're the one who is complacent and waiting for life to happen to you. Or you might be in the season of rush just wanting to get it done, whatever it is. Or-- you might be in that season where what matters is your reason. Stop playing the mind games. Stop dragging your feet trying to convince yourself of your next step. Just ask, "What if I said yes?" What if I was willing to put in the work? What if I found a coach or counselor that understood my position and not only helped me, but in doing so, impacted my marriage and family. What if I said yes? Here are three things a spouse can do to consider taking the next step toward a better marriage: 1. COMMUNICATE OPENLY: Start by having an honest conversation with yourself first! Then, invite a trusted confidant to listen to where you are. Finally, when the time is right, you can invite your spouse into the conversation and share your concerns, desires, and fears. By opening up about where you stand and listening to all sides and directions, you can gain clarity and understanding. Remember, communication is key in any relationship. 2. TAKE A CHANCE: We can do everything right in our heads, but what about our actions? So take that chance to do what's right in this season. Now, don't do it haphazardly. Use your head and your heart, and with well thought out guidance. In other words, kick anger to the curb, don't take anger with you. Anger is not your decision-maker. 3. CREATE A NEW BUTT PRINT: In other words, step out of your comfort zone. Embracing change often requires taking risks. Don't be afraid to try new activities, make compromises, or invest time and effort into improving your relationship. Keep in mind that growth rarely happens within the confines of your comfort zone. As Kristianne Wargo wisely said, "A risk taken is only a risk if it fails. Otherwise, it's wisdom in motion." Embrace the unknown and trust that taking steps towards positive change can lead to a brighter future for yourself, with your spouse, and for your family. Remember, love is an ongoing journey that requires effort, commitment, and the willingness to evolve together. Don't let fear hold you back from saying yes to a happier, healthier marriage. "When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too." - Paulo Coelho What if you said yes? *   #RelationshipBuilders #CreateYourNow #LoveAndMarriage 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX TERRAIN OF PARENTING ISN'T FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. IT REQUIRES A DELICATE BALANCE OF NURTURING GUIDANCE, RESPECT, AND ESTABLISHING CRUCIAL BOUNDARIES. HOW ARE YOU GUIDING YOUR CHILD? As a parent, you may often face the challenge of watching your child make decisions that deviate from what you know is best for them. While it's natural for children to test their wings and assert their independence, guiding them toward making wise choices and understanding the importance of boundaries is essential. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * Author and parenting expert Dr. Haim Ginott said, "Children are like wet cement; whatever falls on them makes an impression." This quote succinctly captures the profound impact that parental guidance and boundaries can have on shaping children's character and behavior. By establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries, parents can instill values, foster self-discipline, and cultivate respect in their children. Another insightful quote comes from Brene Brown, a renowned researcher and author, who stated, "Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind." This emphasizes the importance of clear communication and setting expectations with children regarding boundaries. Parents can help children understand the importance of respect and accountability by clearly defining boundaries and the consequences of crossing them. As a parent myself, I believe that establishing boundaries with children is not about control but about creating a safe and nurturing environment for growth and development. Here are three key strategies to help parents effectively establish boundaries while respecting their child’s autonomy: 1. CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION: Engage in open and honest discussions with your child about the importance of boundaries. Explain why certain rules exist and allow them to express their thoughts and feelings. By fostering open communication, you can create a mutual understanding and respect for boundaries. 2. LEAD BY EXAMPLE: Children learn by observing their parents' behavior. Model the boundaries and values you wish to instill in your child through your own actions and decisions. Show respect towards others, uphold your commitments, and demonstrate the importance of self-discipline. 3. ENCOURAGE INDEPENDENCE: While setting boundaries is crucial, giving your child room to make choices and learn from their experiences is essential. Encourage independence by allowing them to make age-appropriate decisions and supporting them in taking responsibility for their actions. Establishing boundaries with your child is a cornerstone of effective parenting. By setting clear expectations, fostering open communication, and leading by example, parents can cultivate a supportive environment that promotes growth and self-awareness in their children. Remember, boundaries are not limitations but safeguards that nurture respect, autonomy, and personal development. "Boundaries guide us, protect us, and allow us to thrive in a world of limitless possibilities." ~ Kristianne Wargo *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

AS AUTHOR C.S. LEWIS ONCE SAID, "YOU CAN'T GO BACK AND CHANGE THE BEGINNING, BUT YOU CAN START WHERE YOU ARE AND CHANGE THE ENDING." YOU CAN THREAD A DAY OF HOPE USING YOUR CHALLENGES NOT AS BARRIERS, BUT AS STEPPING STONES. Unfortunately, obstacles often present themselves as roadblocks, testing our resilience and resolve. It's easy to let past hardships color our present circumstances, clouding our vision of what lies ahead. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * However, there are new mercies every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Each day offers a new opportunity to rewrite your story, to embrace the unknown with courage and conviction. By reframing your thoughts and choosing how to respond, you can unlock moments of possibilities that may have previously seemed out of reach. Renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, a Holocaust survivor, penned these profound words: "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." Adversity may be inevitable, but your response to it is entirely within your control. By approaching difficulties with a fresh perspective, you can harness your inner strength and resilience to navigate even the darkest of times. In the words of Kristianne Wargo, "Your past does not dictate your future; it merely shapes the path you walk today." Embrace each moment as a chance to redefine your narrative, to learn, grow, and be who you are becoming. Remember, every step you take today lays the foundation for a brighter tomorrow. As you face challenges old and new, may you find comfort in the knowledge that each obstacle is but a stitch in the larger tapestry of your woven life. So embrace the journey, embrace the unknown, and may your resilience shine through as you pivot and pave the way for a future filled with endless possibilities. Keep moving forward.

With the endless cycle of work, responsibilities, and commitments, the question arises: Is being healthy really worth it? DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * Does the effort to eat well, exercise frequently, and sleep more truly impact our lives and longevity? Let's delve into the world of health and wellness to uncover the truth behind these questions. Research overwhelmingly supports the idea that healthy living significantly impacts not only our physical well-being but also our mental health and overall quality of life. According to a study published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, individuals who engage in regular exercise have up to a 50% reduced risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancers. Moreover, proper nutrition plays a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy weight and reducing the risk of obesity-related conditions. One crucial aspect of healthy living that is often overlooked is the profound impact it has on our longevity. A study conducted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health revealed that individuals who adhere to a healthy lifestyle - characterized by a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep - are up to 50% more likely to live longer than those who neglect these practices. Maybe the question really should be: What is the quality of life you desire? To make the right decision towards embracing a healthier lifestyle, consider the following three key actions: 1. WHAT MATTERS TO YOU BEYOND A NUMBER? Start small: Begin by incorporating small changes into your daily routine, such as opting for a salad instead of fries or taking a brisk walk during lunch breaks. These minor adjustments can gradually lead to more significant improvements in your overall health. 2. WHERE DO YOU NEED TO BEGIN YOUR HEALTH JOURNEY? Set Realistic Goals: Establish attainable goals that align with your personal preferences and lifestyle. Whether it's committing to a certain number of workouts per week or gradually reducing sugar intake, setting achievable targets will help you stay motivated and track your progress. 3. WHO CAN YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THAT BENEFITS YOUR QUALITY OF LIFE? Seek Support: Surround yourself with individuals who share similar health goals and aspirations. Joining fitness classes, engaging in group activities, or seeking guidance from a healthcare professional can provide the encouragement and accountability needed to stay committed to a healthy lifestyle. In the words of renowned nutritionist and wellness expert, Joy Bauer, "Healthy living is not about perfection, but progress." By taking proactive steps towards prioritizing your health and well-being, you are investing in a future filled with vitality, resilience, and longevity. Remember, the journey to a healthier you begins with a single step. "One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!" ~ Kristianne Wargo Embrace the power of choice and embark on a transformative path toward a vibrant and fulfilling life. The decision to prioritize your health is a gift that keeps on giving - both in the present moment and for years to come. *   #WellnessWednesday #CreateYourNow #HealthAndWellness 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

IN LIFE'S JOURNEY, WE OFTEN ENCOUNTER CHALLENGES THAT CAN WEIGH US DOWN AND CLOUD OUR VISION. IT'S EASY TO LET WORRY CONSUME US, IMPACTING OUR PASSION AND DRIVE. DON'T LET WORRY WHITTLE DOWN YOUR HEART. But amidst the chaos, there lies a flicker of hope – a reminder that we hold the power to rise above it all. DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * Author Mary Anne Radmacher once said, "Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow'." These words ring true as we navigate through hardships that threaten to whittle down our hearts. It's important to remember that our passion is the compass that guides us through turbulent times. As Kristianne Wargo eloquently puts it, "Passion fuels the fire within us, igniting the path to our purpose." When we acknowledge the power of our passion, we unlock a reservoir of strength that propels us forward, even when the road ahead seems impossible. In the words of motivational speaker Les Brown, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." This serves as a potent reminder that setbacks and failures are merely stepping stones toward success. Every stumble is an opportunity to learn, grow, and evolve into a stronger version of ourselves. The journey towards fulfilling our dreams is often riddled with obstacles, but it is in overcoming these challenges that we discover our true potential. As poet Rumi aptly said, "The wound is the place where the Light enters you." Embrace your struggles, for they are the catalysts for transformation and growth. "In the grand tapestry of life, each thread represents a moment of triumph, a lesson learned, and a heart filled with unwavering resolve." ~ Kristianne Wargo Let us cultivate a mindset of resilience and unwavering faith in our abilities. As we navigate the unpredictable seas of life, let our passion be the lighthouse that guides us home. In conclusion, remember that worry may attempt to whittle down your heart, but your passion will always reignite the flame within you. Embrace each challenge as an opportunity for growth, and let your unwavering spirit carry you towards your dreams. *   #Inspiration #CreateYourNow #DailyMotivation 🎥 KAREN KINGSBURY PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS /someonelikeyou.movie 🔔 DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN?

IN THE WORDS OF LEGENDARY MARTIAL ARTIST BRUCE LEE, "PREPARATION FOR TOMORROW IS HARD WORK TODAY." EMBRACE THE CHALLENGES OF TODAY TO SHAPE A BRIGHTER TOMORROW. In our hectic lives filled with routines and familiarity, stepping out of our comfort zones to make changes can feel daunting.  DESIRE TO BE SUPPORTED AND ENCOURAGED BY OTHER LIKE-MINDED WOMEN? JOIN US AT WOMEN OF IMPACT. HTTPS://CREATEYOURNOW.MN.CO https://createyournow.mn.co  * * "Why hold back on what you know you need to change in order to go where God has called you to go?" ~ Kristianne Wargo It's time to take A.I.M. and prepare for the future you desire. Three Things You Can Do to Embrace Change: 1. EMBRACE NEW SKILLS: This comes down to personal growth. Self-improvement is a journey that requires dedication and perseverance. By stepping out of your comfort zone and acquiring new skills or knowledge, you are investing in your future success. As Tony Robbins said, "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." 2. SET CLEAR GOALS: Define your aspirations and outline a roadmap to achieve them. Without a clear vision of where you want to go, it's easy to get lost in the daily grind. By setting specific, measurable goals, you can track your progress and stay motivated. To quote Lewis Carroll, "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." 3. EMBRACE RESILIENCE: Change is not always easy, and setbacks are inevitable. However, it's essential to cultivate resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges. As Kristianne Wargo aptly puts it, "Strength is not measured by how much you can take, but by how much you can surrender." Embrace resilience as a tool to overcome obstacles and keep moving forward. Remember, the choices you make today will shape the tomorrow you desire. Embrace change, set goals, and cultivate resilience to prepare for a brighter future. CHALLENGE: Where are you in achieving your dreams? What can you do today to impact your tomorrow?
