What Word Do You Choose?
I don’t know about you buy I love the tradition of choosing a word every new year. This word represents what your next year will be about. Maybe something you want to focus on more or work on throughout the coming year. Think of it like your theme for the year. Lots of people have jumped on this fun tradition and I am one of them.
I love the idea of thinking of a word that really moves me and speaks to me. A word that inspires me for the new year or maybe even challenges me. Something that will help me reach my goals for the year and the vision for my future self and life.
Some words I have chosen in the past are gratitude, gracious, strength, confidence, and fearless to name a few. One of my favorite parts of this process is the thought and reflection that I do to come up with a word that really speaks to me and inspires me. It might take a little while to find the perfect word that fits with you and your year. Or you may find your word quickly and know exactly what it is.
This year it took a little bit of reflection and thinking before I finally found the right word for my year. I know you all want to know what it is, and you can even use it yourself if you love it.
My word of the year is . . .
ACTION
That’s right. Action. I want to take action this year. I not only want but I will take action. I will do things I’ve always talked about and dreamed of. I will take the step into my next chapter of my life by taking action. Even writing this blog post is part of that step and action and I am loving every moment of it. Stepping into the person and life I want to live.
I would love to hear what your word of the year is. I think they are meant to be shared to inspire others and to help those around you help to cheer you on.
May this year be a year of moving forward, trying new things, making mistakes and trying again. After all we only have one life to live so let’s see what we can make of it.
