As we step into a fresh new year, there's this exciting energy of starting over, dreaming big, and setting new goals. But let’s be real, resolutions can feel overwhelming or even fizzle out. That’s where choosing a word of the year comes in.
Your word of the year is like a personal mantra, a word that keeps you grounded and focused throughout the year. It’s not about being perfect but about having something to guide you, especially when things get messy (and they always do, right?).
How to Choose Your Word
If you’re wondering how to pick the right word, don’t stress, it doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s what I’ve found helpful:
Start with Your Goals: Before jumping into a word, think about what you want this year to feel like. What do you want to achieve? What’s important to you? Write it all down—it could be about work, family, self-care, or just having more fun! Here is a simple layout I created to plan next year, check it out.
Think About What Matters Most: What’s the vibe you want this year? Maybe it’s confidence, growth, or joy. Your word should connect with what really matters to you.
Picture Your Year Ahead: Close your eyes and imagine it’s the end of the year. What would make you proud? What kind of energy do you want to bring into your days? Let that guide your choice.
Pick a Word That Feels Right: This is the fun part. Choose a word that makes you feel excited and inspired. It can be as simple as “Breathe” or as bold as “Courage.” Don’t overthink it, go with what feels good!
Keep It Front and Center: Once you’ve got your word, write it down somewhere you’ll see it often. Maybe stick it on your mirror, your phone wallpaper, or even your fridge. Let it remind you why you chose it.
My Word of the Year: Think Big
This year, my word is Think Big, and it’s super close to my heart. It’s actually the title of my first book, which I wrote to inspire kids to believe in themselves and dream big, no matter what challenges they face.
But Think Big isn’t just about the book, it’s about my mindset for the year. I want to push myself to step outside my comfort zone, grow my work, and, honestly, just dream bigger. It’s a reminder to believe in possibility and not let fear hold me back.
Choosing this word feels personal because it ties everything together, my goals, my passion for making a difference, and the message I want to spread to others.
Why Your Word Matters
Your word of the year isn’t just a cute idea. It’s like a little nudge, reminding you what’s important when life gets busy or overwhelming. It helps you focus on what you really want, even when things feel messy.
So, what’s your word going to be this year? Take some time to reflect, think about your goals, and find a word that feels right for you. And when you choose it, own it. Let it guide you to make this year truly yours.
Here’s to dreaming big, living with intention, and making this year amazing. For me, it’s all about Think Big. What’s your word?
