    • Find joy in the small thingsRecognizing and embracing small joys can significantly improve mood and well-being. Seek out moments of joy and allow them to brighten your day.

      Recognizing and embracing the small joys in life can significantly improve our mood and overall well-being. Simple pleasures, such as a fresh cup of coffee in the morning or a relaxing evening with an eye mask, can brighten even the gloomiest of days. It's important to take the time to seek out these moments of joy and to allow them to bring happiness and positivity into our lives. As Kate Cocker from the Volley network shared, even the smallest things, like savoring a salted boiled egg, can bring great joy. So, make a conscious effort to fill your day with these speckles of joy, and don't underestimate their power to lift your spirits and make your day brighter.

    2644 Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together

    2644 Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together
    Unlocking your health mystery takes time and persistence. However, you can solve the puzzle and reset your health by putting the puzzle pieces together. One step at a time leads to miles of greatness! ~ Kristianne Wargo Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT. http://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT But unfortunately, society has trained us that if we can take away your symptoms, why can't you still live however you desire? No restrictions. No exercise. Pure joy. Or is it truly pure joy? I have been battling a couple of different viruses since the beginning of the new year. Usually, I'm pretty healthy, not getting sick. But this season has not faired in my favor.  So it got me thinking even more. Since going through perimenopause and now on the other side, plus having gut issues my entire life, maybe I really need to take a hard look at what my body needs.  I know I'm not the average person which diets or fitness regimens are created for. A 1200-1500 calorie day does not work for me at all. And please do not flood my inbox as to what I might be missing. I've done the research and am currently studying real-time as to how my body responds and reacts to food, movement, vitamins, supplements, and so forth. Like any good detective, you've gotta put the puzzle pieces together to understand the whole picture. The K.I.S.S. ~ Put the puzzle pieces together! If you are struggling with your health, I want to encourage you not to give up. You can figure out what is happening and what needs to change. One thing I've been researching is the Paleo Diet. This diet is a whole-foods diet that includes only the most nutritionally dense and sustainable foods. (The Paleo Approach, https://ThePaleoMom.com, Pg. 9) Now, you have heard me say that the food all of us should be eating follows one rule: If God made it, I can eat it. But that's in it's natural state.  For example, God did not make bread. He made grains. So how those grains are prepared and eaten does affect the nutrient density of the food along with how it is absorbed within a person's body. If you are struggling with your health or weight, this might be a good alternative for you to try. As I said, I am taking you on my health journey in discovering all my quirks and likenesses.  You get to decide what you would like to try. This by no means substitutes for personal medical advice. 
    - What are you eating that is real? This is the most natural state of the foods you eat.
    - What are you eating that is processed? If it's not one ingredient, it is processed.
    - How can you integrate more nutrient-dense foods? 
    One thing I want to caution you on. You do not have to define how you eat to anyone.  I have been asked several times, "What program are you doing?" My answer (and it should be yours, too) -- I'm eating what my body requires.  Because you might be a blend of Keto and Paleo. And there is nothing wrong with that. Don't fall into the trap that you must have a definitive cookie-cutter answer.  Your body is uniquely made. So treat it with the respect it deserves by putting together all the puzzle pieces. Now, I am currently working in the preparation stage gearing up to change my body's nutritional menu. I am taking detailed notes as to how my body responds to the "junk food". Then, I'll be able to see exactly how good food affects my body. It's going to be a long process, but I know we'll both learn so many things to benefit us in the long-run.  Hope you're ready to construct your puzzle. "Train for life.

    3188 Are You Willing to Pay the Price?

    3188 Are You Willing to Pay the Price?

    Healthy living is a choice. When you look at your body, what do you see? Health or a bill? Depending on your reflection, are you willing to pay the price?

    No one is forced to eat, live, move, and sleep a certain way. Yet, there are guidelines that, for most of us, are ignored.

    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co 

    In today's society, it is easy to lose track of what truly matters when it comes to our health.

    We are bombarded with messages from advertisements, influencers, and social media, all advocating for different lifestyles and quick fixes. It becomes challenging to decipher what is truly beneficial and what is merely a fad.

    If you find yourself questioning whether you are making good decisions or simply going with the flow, look so you can see.

    The K.I.S.S. ~ Look so you can see!

    1. Reflect on Your Habits: Take a step back and honestly assess your daily habits. Are you making conscious choices, or are you simply following what everyone else is doing? Consider your eating habits, exercise routine, sleep schedule, and overall lifestyle. Do you prioritize your health, or are you neglecting it in favor of convenience? This reflection will provide clarity on whether you are actively making good decisions or merely going along with societal influences.

    2. Educate Yourself: Knowledge is power when it comes to healthy living. Invest time in educating yourself about nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices. Stay updated on the latest research and studies, and seek advice from trusted sources. By arming yourself with knowledge, you can make informed decisions that align with your goals and values.

    3. Prioritize Self-Care: Taking care of your health is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine. This includes setting aside time for regular exercise, ensuring an adequate and restful sleep, and nourishing your body with wholesome foods. When you prioritize self-care, you are not just paying the price for a healthier lifestyle, but you are also investing in a better quality of life.

     "Your health is your wealth, and it should never be compromised."

    Remember that making good decisions regarding your health is not about following trends or succumbing to societal pressures. It is about aligning your actions with your own well-being and happiness.

    So, are you willing to pay the price? Choose wisely.

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    2941 More of We

    2941 More of We

    Life can get in the way of loving those closest to us, especially our spouses. So instead of hiding in our busyness and floundering more in someone else's highlight reel, make a commitment to more of we.

    How much time do you spend with your spouse?

    Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. https://createyournow.mn.co

    And would you say that you spend less time together now than when you got married?

    Most of us have to really stop and think when we see our sweethearts. And as for the time, what time is it again?

    The number one relationship, if you're married, is your spouse. 

    But very quickly, we find other ways to occupy our time, distract our attention, and lead us down a rabbit hole in our own homes. 

    It just does not seem fair to anyone!

    Yet you live it every day. You get up and do YOUR thing and forget that there's someONE in your life. You take care of the children, because you have to. But the rest is left to fend for themselves. 

    How can any marriage be awesome if that's a typical every day?

    What if you would make time for each other?

    What if there was more of we?

    The K.I.S.S. ~ More of WE!

    My goal here is to get you thinking about how you spend TIME with your spouse.

    Are you showing up with your best self, or is your spouse getting the leftovers?

    "Leftovers are great for food, not so much for love!" ~ Kristianne Wargo

    You get out what you put into your marriage. So why not show up with enthusiasm? Why not give more when you don't receive? Why not have compassion during challenges in life? Why not be together more than you are apart?

    It's hard to build a strong foundation in marriage if you're not together. Logistics do matter. 

    I want to encourage you to analyze your time with your spouse. 

    1. How much time do you spend together in bed?
    2. How much time do you spend as a couple awake and interacting?
    3. How much time do you spend talking about life, not just kids and career?

    Then from there, you'll be able to see what is happening regarding time.

    Is time on your side?

    Assuming that you fall into "most of us," then you can make some tweaks to how you hang out together. The way you spend your time together matters!

    QUESTION: What can you do differently to add time to love?

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

    2081 Are You Asking the Wrong Questions?

    2081 Are You Asking the Wrong Questions?

    When you create change and impact, the knowledge you gather is crucial to the wisdom you gain. But are you asking the wrong questions?

    From a young age, we asked questions. The favorite one being "Why?".

    Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACThttp://bit.ly/WomenofIMPACT

    That curiosity continued into teens and adulthood.

    Now maybe you were one who was a little quiet when the teacher called on you. Or maybe you couldn't get your hand up fast enough to answer.

    But what about when you didn't know the answer and was put in the position to ask questions?

    Did that shy little child stay quiet, or were you the first to jump in with a question?

    As the years pass, self-esteem begins developing, perceptions set in, habits established, and behaviors fine-tuned.

    Then inject the self-talk. What are you saying to yourself? What are you repeating when you fail versus when you succeed?

    So much of our lives are built on success that when there is a possibility of failure, we do everything we can to talk ourselves away from the goal or in a way that will soften the blow if success isn't achieved. We even interject excuses why not to do something or why we are not equipped.

    A lot of this comes from E3 --- expectations placed on you and by you, experiences, and emotions.

    From there, you formulate questions. In order to make sure you are asking the proper questions, question your questions.

    The K.I.S.S. ~ Question your questions!

    Are you asking the wrong questions?

    Most of us should answer that question with a resounding YES!!

    Because we are.

    What more do I need for this promotion? What style should I write in so that I can grow my audience for my book? What certification am I lacking? What kind of mom am I? How dare I think I could do this? Am I crazy? Why can't I do better? What areas do I need improvement on?

    Now all of these are good questions, just asked at the wrong time. Believe it or not, we ask questions in the wrong order and it all started back at the beginning...Why?

    So question your questions.

    1. What does this make possible? (Dan Miller, 48 Days to the Work & Life You Love)
    2. Ask beyond yourself. This comes from the heavenly mindset.
    3. Believe with the heart, not just think with the head. Our thoughts come in buckets. They can flood our minds in just seconds thinking we can to believing we can’t.

    You are created on purpose for a purpose. You are not going to live a perfect life.

    But you can, however, have a different mindset. It's a heavenly mindset, not a worldly mindset.

    Are you asking the wrong questions?

    Not anymore!

    "Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
