The K.I.S.S. ~ Spring clean your diet!

Here are some tips on how to spring clean your diet, eat to the season, save money, and a delicious recipe to enjoy guilt-free.

1. Incorporate Seasonal Produce: Opt for fresh fruits and vegetables that are in season during spring, such as strawberries, asparagus, leafy greens, and peas. These nutrient-dense foods not only provide essential vitamins and minerals but also add variety and freshness to your meals.

Nutritionist Sarah Smith emphasizes, "Eating seasonal foods not only supports your overall health but also helps the environment by reducing food miles and supporting local farmers."

Eating to the Season:

Choose seasonal fruits and vegetables like strawberries, asparagus, arugula, and peas.

Incorporate fresh herbs like mint, basil, and cilantro for added flavor.

Opt for lighter meals with salads, smoothies, and grilled dishes to align with the brighter days and warmer weather.

2. Meal Prep and Plan Ahead: Spend some time planning your meals for the week, including snacks and lunches. By prepping ingredients and having healthy meals ready to go, you can avoid making impulsive, less nutritious food choices. This will also help reduce food waste and save time during busy weekdays.

Saving Money While Eating Healthy:

Shop at local farmer's markets for fresh, affordable produce.

Buy in bulk and freeze or preserve seasonal fruits and veggies for later use.

Plan meals ahead to avoid food waste and unnecessary spending.

3. Hydrate with Infused Water: Stay hydrated by infusing your water with fresh fruits, herbs, and vegetables like sliced cucumbers, mint leaves, or berries. This adds natural flavor without extra sugars or calories, making it a refreshing and healthier alternative to sugary beverages. Proper hydration is essential for overall well-being and supports a healthy metabolism.

3355 Break Away From The Past

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

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.

As author C. JoyBell C. once said, "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."

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.

As Kristianne Wargo wisely puts it, "Embrace the unknown, for it is in the journey towards the unfamiliar that we discover our true selves."

Embracing change, even when it appears daunting and overwhelming, opens doors to new possibilities and opportunities you may have never considered before.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Break away from the past!

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!!!!

"This isn't about living in the past. This is being present in the presence of today to create your now." ~ Kristianne Wargo

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 American poet Robert Frost: "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."

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.

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

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

3357 Embrace Your Uniqueness

In a world inundated with pressure to conform, embrace fitting outside the lines as a gift, not a curse. Embrace your uniqueness, allowing you to showcase the real you, unfiltered and unapologetic.

Imagine the freedom and peace of mind that comes with authentically embodying who you are, without the need to pretend or project a false facade to the world.

Author Grace Bonney wisely said, "When you no longer see the world as weird or weird as, you know you have become truly part of it."

"Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are." - Brené Brown

"You are a gift to this world! Stop telling yourself a different story just because you're different. You are unique!" ~ Kristianne Wargo

You are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Not perfect, but in progress.

All of us is a work in progress, constantly evolving and growing. The journey to self-discovery involves recognizing and celebrating the traits that make you unique.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Embrace your uniqueness!

By embracing authenticity, you empower yourself to navigate through life with confidence and purpose.

As Kristianne Wargo beautifully puts it, "Be who you are and who you are becoming, as the gift of YOU is the greatest present you can give to the world."

"Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen." - Brené Brown

Are you hiding? Are you wishing you were someone else?

Now it's one thing to wish you were in different circumstances and situations. That can be changed. But don't try and change who you are because of someone you are not. It's not comparison. Yes, you can make changes to be your best selfie, but it's not about being someone else.

Embrace your quirks, passions, and aspirations. Embrace the imperfections that make you stand out from the crowd. By being true to yourself, you not only alleviate the burden of living a double life but also unleash a newfound sense of freedom and confidence.

Embrace your uniqueness!

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