0:00I've said 3,990, not so fast. Mom's, it's time to rediscover, rejuvenate, and renew who you are in mind, body, and spirit. Welcome to Create Your Now, Your Best Selfie, the show that help you do just that. Here's your host, certified life coach, personal trainer, and nutritionist, Christian Wardo. Happy every day, I hope you're having a fabulous start to your week and believe it. Happy March, happy spring almost, not quite yet, but the weather shows that it's there. The trees are getting reddery. The birds are singing, but not so fast. For those of you who are brand new to Create Your Now, welcome to this incredible family. I'm so delighted of your presence. If you already have the opportunity, you'll want to head on over to CreatureNow.com where you can learn more and sign up for the Kisses newsletter. They keep it simple strategy, everyday solutions, to live, love, and impact. Well, you can hear it in my voice. It's still gone, gone, gone, gone are the days of my voice.

1:03But I'm not going to keep you long here because you're like, Christian, I need to tune my ears. No, no, no, I just need to get a better voice right now, but I can't miss an inspiration day because I want to put a smile on your face and joy in your heart that really allows you to go out and impact the world that you touch and just as a reminder, you know we're live every Tuesday morning on pray.com, gone, head on over there 11.30 a.m. Eastern 10.30 a.m. Central 8.30 a.m. Pacific. We got our TV show there. We've got new episodes coming out soon. And so I just want you to know that you're seen and loved, that you're heard, that you don't have to feel like I got to do something to be something. No, you don't. Life moves at the speed of light that we forget even where we are in our day. We can get so dialed in that we become more about the do rather than the who. With the season beginning to change, yes, spring is close around the corner.

2:06Maybe it's time to stop and smell the roses, to slow down so you can speed up or even tame the list so you could experience the day. Not so fast, feels pretty good. Life has become this race that we run blindfolded chasing hours, crossing items off endless list, forgetting at what point the day turned into a blur, how we became more about doing than simply being. The season shifts, right, and it's this gentle reminder inviting us to pause, to breathe, to truly see, to stop and smell those roses that are blooming outside your window. Not as an afterthought, but as a moment itself worth savoring. Slow down to speed up, tame the wild to do's, wouldn't it be nice just to close your eyes and say, you know what, my to do list is empty. What if you tried that?

3:07Embrace the grace of presence, knowing that you don't have to prove anything, but you can be, be present, hear what you need to hear from your family, from your co-workers, from your community, from your family that calls you, and when movement is measured not manic, our impact deepens our purpose brightens. Not so fast, feels like a gift, like coming home after running far too long, and then that ease lies power. The power to touch, the power to reach, the power to change, the power to be remembered not just rushed past. How do you feel like your life is doing right now? Are you rushing all the time? Are you in traffic going 90 miles per hour because you got out 15 minutes late? Maybe you don't need to make up the time. Maybe you need to be present.

4:09Maybe you need to be not so fast. So breathe, notice. Not just to do, but to glow in who you are and who you are becoming. God has a plan for you. Yes, that means you don't just sit on the couch and he's going to do all the work. You get to get up and join with him. You walk side by side because the world you touch is waiting for you. So awake, open up your mind, open up your heart, and you can do more when you're not rushed. So what if you could have the gift of pause? In the quiet fold of a slowing day, where moments whisper and shadows stay, their lies a gift we often miss the sacred art of gentle bliss. Not in haste, but in the still, our restless souls began to fill. With clear sight and softer heart, we find the strength to make our mark.

5:09The roses bloom not in a race, but in their perfect slow embrace. So let your spirit dare to rest and trust your doing all that's best. For when you cease to rush and run, your light shines steady like the sun. The world you touch fills this calm you and knows its beauty comes from you. Go in peace, be present, be incredible, be you. I love you so very much. I cannot wait to see you on the other side, blessing hugs and lots and lots of love. We'll talk to you real soon. Have a glorious plus day. Bye-bye.
