Yes, I know this post comes a little late. But, I am itching to hear your ONE WORD (or phrase) for this new year. I have been intrigued by the idea of designing a year of your life around a single word or theme– instead of resolutions–since I first wrote about the concept in 2018.

How Do You Pick A Word?

It’s simple. Choose just one word you would like to keep uppermost in your mind each day that will inspire your thoughts and actions.

Gretchen Rubin–author of the bestseller, The Happiness Project–says, “It’s important to choose a word that feels rich and powerful.” Click on her podcast here:

In 2018, my word was FOCUS, because my primary goal that year was to focus on some very specific goals. Last year, my word was GRACE/GRACIOUS, because I felt I had not been as gracious as I could have been in a great many situations the year before.

Your word should be personal. Even if you choose the same word as someone else, your direction and intention might be very different than theirs. And, of course, a word can have multiple meanings, depending on how you frame it.

If you haven’t yet thought of a word, here are a few suggestions:

Keeping One Word uppermost in your thoughts is so much easier than remembering a plethora of resolutions.

So, New Year–New Word.

What’s Mine?

Flow

For so many reasons.
