The word of the year is...
Have you heard of this? Picking a word of the year for yourself?
My mom did this every year. She would think long and hard before deciding, then she would write it down and that word would be her focus for the next twelve months.
Some of her words included Hopeful, Release, Diligent, and Forthwith. (I had to ask her about that last one – it refers to taking action or in my words, “let’s do this!”)
I learned so much from my mom and am I ever thankful.
So, I’ve carried on her ritual and pick a word every year. My word for the year is…improvement. I’m striving to improve my skills in several areas, stretching myself to learn more even when it’s difficult.
Other examples of words might include:
Abundance
Honesty
Peace
Spontaneity
Connection
Joy
Mindfulness
Passion
Health
Consistency
Mindfulness
Once you pick a word, write it down where you’ll see it often. Make it your focus for the year and let it serve as your compass steering your decisions and actions.
So, what is your word of the year?
