The show that help you do just that.
0:17
Here's your host, Certified Life Coach,
0:19
Personal Trainer, and Nutritionist, Kristian Wardo.
0:25
Happy everyday. I hope you're having a marvelous start to your week.
0:28
It's hard to believe that, you know, we just keep moving faster and faster,
0:31
and I just want to slow things down. How about you?
0:33
So today, it's all about inspiration, motivation,
0:36
organize your space to make room for action.
0:38
For those of your brand new to Create Your Now,
0:40
welcome to this incredible family.
0:41
I'm so delighted of your presence.
0:43
If you already haven't had the opportunity,
0:45
you want to head on over to CreatureNow.com,
0:47
where you can learn more and sign up for the Kisses newsletter.
0:50
To keep it simple strategy,
0:51
everyday solutions, to live, love, and impact.
0:55
Well, as you know, we are on pray.com every single Tuesday,
0:59
11.30 a.m. Eastern, 10.30 a.m. Central,
1:02
and 8.30 a.m. Pacific, where you can catch our TV show.
1:06
Now, we are in the works.
1:07
I promise you I've been saying that I feel like for months now,
1:10
but you know what life does happen.
1:11
And I appreciate you giving me the grace.
1:13
And that's kind of what we're talking about here, right?
1:16
And so we are in the process of being able to make the TV show
1:20
available right on our website.
1:22
We're changing some things up.
1:23
And I'm working with our team who I've brought on.
1:29
I mean, shout out to Katie and Bruno and all of them.
1:32
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
1:35
I just, you guys are incredible.
1:36
But in all honesty, it takes time.
1:40
And the team that you're looking at,
1:42
well, you hear as me.
1:44
And the TV show, my son is the one who's behind the camera.
1:47
And I do all the editing and everything.
1:49
And I think people think, oh, Kristian, wow, you know,
1:51
you got all these people.
1:52
I'm like, yeah, no, I don't.
1:54
You have a family, my family.
1:55
That's a large family.
1:57
You know, five kids, two grandbabies.
1:59
And so we've got nine guaranteed people.
2:02
And we've got a couple of my babies that are dating.
2:05
And you know, it's so we grow in that respect.
2:10
But the ones who are actually doing the work for Creature
2:12
now, no, you're hearing her right now.
2:15
And then of course, my son who is only behind the scenes.
2:18
And then my mom, who's the chief operating officer
2:21
for Inspiration, she is, she's our chief inspiration officer.
2:25
Actually, I think it's her title.
2:26
And so as we begin to move into this new year,
2:31
we're going to be facilitating a new website.
2:36
Because I want to make things easy for you.
2:38
I want you to be able to find things.
2:39
I don't want you to have to search out things.
2:40
I want you to be able to come and have conversation
2:43
with me, with people that you meet.
2:45
When we have our PJ parties, I want things
2:48
to be able to be found, right?
2:50
And I don't want you to have to be bombarded
2:52
with all these advertisements.
2:54
Been in all of that.
2:55
I tell you, we've got to organize our space
2:57
to make room for action.
2:59
And that takes time.
3:01
And so today, I really want to inspire you,
3:03
because nothing feels ambition quite like setting out
3:06
on a bold adventure towards your goals and dreams.
3:09
And you've probably had that feeling,
3:10
oh, man, this is going to be an awesome year.
3:12
And maybe you thought about that last year.
3:14
Now we're moving into this year.
3:16
So I don't want you to go back in the past,
3:17
but maybe going back in the past,
3:19
made you realize that I didn't get everything
3:22
But now that you're here to create your now,
3:25
you've got those big plans and the vision
3:27
of where you want to go is crystal clear.
3:30
You know where you're hanging out, right?
3:32
You know where you want to take people.
3:34
You know the goals that you have, but here's the truth.
3:37
Dreaming alone won't get you there.
3:39
To climb that peak, you need a launching pad.
3:43
And that starts when you organize your space
3:45
to make room for action.
3:47
And that's what we're trying to do here at Creature Now.
3:49
And I'm hopeful that you're going to be doing that
3:52
I'm not saying you need a website or anything.
3:54
I mean, if you're building a new business,
3:55
you probably need a website, right?
3:57
You need a home where people can come to
3:59
and learn about you.
4:01
But if that's not you, that's fine.
4:02
That's not what we're talking about here, right?
4:04
It's about organizing where you are.
4:06
Because think about it.
4:08
If all you ever did was just sit back,
4:10
waiting for success or opportunity to arrive
4:12
without any effort, how far would you get?
4:16
Huh, small alert, not very far.
4:20
Action isn't just a step along the way.
4:22
It's the engine that drives everything forward.
4:26
Let me say that again.
4:27
Because actually when I see that out loud,
4:29
I was like, oh, that was a good one, Christian.
4:31
See, even I surprise myself at times.
4:33
You see, I make notes, but I don't write everything out.
4:35
It just kind of comes to me.
4:36
Action isn't just a step along the way.
4:38
It's the engine that drives everything forward.
4:43
And right now, you're in that magic window, right?
4:47
Call it the season of resets, New Year's resolutions
4:50
or fresh starts, whatever it is for you,
4:52
whatever, just like clicks in your mind, like yes, yes.
4:56
This is your opportunity because you get
4:58
to hit the refresh button.
5:00
This is your chance to lay the groundwork
5:01
for daily routines and rhythms
5:03
that sets you up for consistent execution throughout your year.
5:08
You just set yourself up for success, not for failure.
5:12
And that comes when you organize your space
5:13
to make room for action.
5:15
It's all about that intentionality
5:17
because that's really what it requires.
5:20
Chaos and clutter don't just take up physical space.
5:23
They hijack your mental bandwidth.
5:25
Go and listen to our episode from yesterday, right?
5:30
Toss out the thoughts and doubts that hold you back.
5:32
If you didn't listen to that, go back.
5:34
I encourage you to because this physical space
5:39
is not what we're just talking about.
5:40
It's about the mental space, too.
5:44
And when they hijack your mental bandwidth,
5:46
it distracts your focus and it's tall as your momentum.
5:49
You just don't think you can, right?
5:51
You're no longer, I think I can, I think I can,
5:53
I think I can, you're like, I know I can't,
5:55
I know I can't, I know I can't.
5:58
That's not the little engine that could, right?
6:02
That's what you want to be.
6:04
Organizing your environment isn't about obsessing over neatness.
6:07
It's about crafting a space that fuels decisive action.
6:13
And let me tell you, me personally,
6:15
I'm being very intentional.
6:18
I have been before, but I gotta tell ya,
6:22
I'm traveling this week and so I'm being,
6:25
I'm being oh so intentional about what I'm recording,
6:27
when I'm recording, I am at a conference
6:30
for an entire week down in Florida.
6:32
And so it's wonderful, I get to meet with my mastermind
6:36
whom I truly love, we do life together,
6:38
and then I get to meet people around the globe.
6:42
And one thing we have in common is about sharing something
6:46
that is very fond to us through podcasting.
6:51
Now that shows up differently, right?
6:52
We could be a speaker, we could be a writer,
6:54
we could be an author, whatever it is,
6:56
but we have this fine little goal.
7:02
And in reality, we also get to honor my good friend,
7:07
mentor, coach, and most importantly, he's my friend,
7:10
it's my brother in Christ, Dan Miller.
7:13
He's being welcomed into the podcast, Hall of Fame.
7:18
And Dave Ramsey is gonna welcome him into the Hall of Fame.
7:22
It's pretty incredible what he's done
7:23
for 48 days of life and work you love.
7:26
If you don't know it, go look it up,
7:27
it might be just what you need to hear.
7:30
But it's one of these things where I'm being very intentional,
7:33
Dan was very intentional about what he did.
7:39
And so when you begin to craft this space
7:41
that fuels the size of action, things begin to shift.
7:45
And that requires you to take aim, right?
7:47
Action at night's motivation.
7:48
That intentionality sharpens your focus
7:50
in the momentum carries you past resistance
7:54
because you're gonna hit a brick wall,
7:56
not just once or twice, but maybe like 200 times.
8:00
And it's gonna be like, oh my goodness,
8:02
why am I still doing this?
8:03
Because you know, you know that you know,
8:07
you're supposed to do it.
8:10
So regardless of what comes up for you today,
8:13
when tomorrow now becomes today, right?
8:15
Because we're always looking forward to tomorrow,
8:17
but what you do today impacts tomorrow.
8:20
So do today be present ever so present and take aim today.
8:25
Start small, clear your desk,
8:27
declutter your digital files, right?
8:29
I need to be taking about 50 to 60 different files
8:32
and sending them up to Dropbox on this cloud,
8:36
so I can open up some desk space
8:38
because you see, oh, I talk a lot.
8:41
So I have a lot of things on my computer,
8:44
a lot of things that are saved
8:45
and I just need to empty that out.
8:47
I need to designate a corner for that kind of stuff
8:49
to go to, what about you?
8:52
Maybe you need to do some physical filing.
8:56
Maybe you need to get ready for taxes.
8:58
Maybe you're sitting there going, gosh,
9:00
I gotta write this book and I gotta organize myself
9:02
a little bit more just my thoughts.
9:03
What does that look like?
9:06
Maybe you want to journal this year
9:07
and you want to get more into God's word.
9:09
What does that look like?
9:10
How do you go about organizing those thoughts?
9:14
Maybe you're deciding to take it to the next level
9:16
and you want to attend three Bible studies
9:20
over the course of this year,
9:22
but you want to do then just like,
9:24
oh, I can't just show up, I'm just going to talk
9:26
and I'm going to be the one that sits in the back of the room.
9:27
No, no, no, I want to participate
9:29
because I want to dive deeper.
9:30
I want stuff in my heart to go deeper.
9:34
So what does that look like for you?
9:37
How can you organize your space to make room for action?
9:41
When your space reflects your priorities,
9:43
it sends a powerful signal to your brain.
9:46
This is where work gets done,
9:48
where ideas turn into results.
9:54
And that's what we need to be looking at.
9:56
The ideas that turn into results.
9:59
See those ideas are the dreams, right?
10:02
But if you want to take those dreams
10:04
and see them come true, you got to get results.
10:08
Remember, organization is only the first move.
10:12
It does make room for action
10:13
by removing the obstacles, right?
10:15
Organization removes obstacles.
10:16
That's just short story.
10:18
But you still have to step forward.
10:20
No miracle will arrive if you stay stuck behind a pile
10:23
of half finished to do lists or distractions.
10:26
It's not about looking backwards and saying,
10:27
oh, man, I'm just not good enough.
10:29
I wasn't good enough last year.
10:30
Didn't do what I was supposed to do.
10:32
Man, I'm getting older and I'm moving slower.
10:34
And this is just, no, no.
10:36
So you hang out in the wrong corner
10:40
with the wrong people in the wrong mindset to stop waiting.
10:46
Reset your environment.
10:48
You get to set your landscape,
10:50
what it looks like, what you plant,
10:52
what you want to water, what you want to fertilize,
10:55
what you want to see grow.
10:57
Set your sights on what matters and make space
11:00
for the daily grind that moves your dreams
11:02
from thinking to becoming.
11:04
Because this is about who you are
11:06
and who you are becoming.
11:10
I know God's got big plans for you.
11:14
You don't have to fall short
11:15
unless if you decide to do so.
11:18
I'm not saying you're not gonna fall.
11:19
I didn't say that, but you don't have to be here
11:23
next year going, gosh, what if,
11:27
leave the what ifs behind, bury them no more.
11:31
Because when you organize your space to make room
11:33
for action, you're not just tidying up.
11:35
I mean, it does look nice, right?
11:36
If it's a physical presence, it feels good in your head
11:39
and in your heart, you just have that,
11:41
oh, right, that freedom in your body,
11:43
like, yes, I can do this.
11:46
But you're not just tidying up,
11:48
you're building the launch pad for everything to follow.
11:52
But God has placed in your heart and your soul.
11:55
So you can go out and impact the world that you touch.
12:04
I love you so very much.
12:05
I cannot wait to see you on the other side.
12:07
Blessing tags and lots and lots of love.
12:09
We'll talk to you real soon.
12:10
Have a glorious, blessed day.
