2024 Word Of The Year
A New Year is exciting. It is a time to dream, set goals, and better our lives. However, studies show that of the 60% of people who make New Year’s resolutions, only 6% stick to them. So, instead of making resolutions this year, I have implemented a Word Of The Year (WOTY) to guide me and help me create my dream life.
This change in mindset can be a powerful exercise for personal growth and focus.
Word of the Year Benefits
- Guidance and Focus: A word of the year is a guiding principle or theme that can help you make decisions and set priorities. It provides a focal point for your aspirations, actions, and goals.
- Clarity and Intentionality: It encourages clarity about what matters most to you. When you choose a word that resonates with your values or represents an area of improvement, it helps you stay intentional about your choices and actions.
- Motivation and Inspiration: A word of the year is a constant reminder or source of inspiration. When faced with challenges or decision-making moments, recalling your word can motivate you to stay aligned with your intentions.
- Personal Growth: It facilitates personal growth by encouraging reflection and prompting you to take steps toward positive change. Your chosen word can push you to learn, adapt, and evolve in areas you wish to develop.
- Simplicity and Flexibility: Unlike specific resolutions or goals, a word of the year is more flexible. It can be applied to various aspects of life, providing a simple yet encompassing framework that allows for adaptability and growth in different situations.
- Mindfulness and Awareness: Having a word of the year encourages mindfulness. It prompts you to regularly reflect on your actions and choices, fostering self-awareness and a deeper understanding of yourself.
- Community and Connection: Sharing your word of the year with friends, family, or a community of like-minded people can create connections and accountability. It allows for shared experiences and support in pursuing common themes or aspirations.
Ultimately, having a Word Of The Year is a personal choice, but for many, it is a powerful tool for self-reflection, growth, and intentional living throughout the year.
When choosing your Word of the Year, select a word that requires you to “become” someone. When you do this, you must change your identity to align with your desire.
How to select a Word of the Year
Below are some questions you might like to ask yourself about becoming the woman who represents your WOTY.
Remember, choose a word that inspires and motivates you BECOME her.
- How does this woman dress?
- How does she speak?
- How does she treat others?
- How does she treat herself?
- What does she read?
- How does she live?
My Word of the Year is CONFIDENCE!
Remember, you decide who you are.
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
