New Year Resolutions?
In my teen years, I was obsessed with New Year Resolutions – but only on December 31. Can you relate?
In my adult years, I knew the value of setting personal and work goals. I tried setting resolutions again. I had the best intentions of really following through, making a consistent effort. Yet, the resolutions were quickly forgotten.
I Needed More
Several years ago, I discovered the practice of selecting a “Word of the Year”. This definitely intrigued me because resolutions certainly did not work for me!
In 2015, I did quite a bit of soul searching and selected a word that I wanted to achieve. That word was BOLD. After being a wife and mom of 22 years, I had lost some of my “boldness”. And, being bold is something that I always liked about myself. There were many days I was only trying to survive with no room left to be bold! In 2015, the word of the year was successful for me!
2019 will be my 5th year to select a word of the year. This year, I chose “love”. When I wrote my goals of 2019, I knew that I must show myself “love” so that I would take care of myself. And, showing love to the world is a good thing to do to.
My Word of the Year
Looking at my Word of the Year may be meaningless to others. And that is ok. My Word of the Year will probably have no meaning to anyone else. Why would they? They are single words. No explanation, no context. That’s part of the genius of having One Word! Your Word is as powerful as you want it to be! I have sentences and statements that bring meaning to My Word of the Year.
- 2015 – Bold
- 2016 – Action
- 2017 – Committed
- 2018 – Today
- 2019 – Love
