I don't much believe in resolutions. I have tried to believe in them over the years, occasionally making a resolution and following through for a while. But I find most times it's not realistic in the changes we all face throughout a year to keep up with one single resolution.
A wise person suggested to me recently that rather that a resolution, focus on one word. One word you can hold onto for the year.
I've been sitting with this idea for about 6 weeks now. Seeing if a word would come to me.
There have been a couple of fleeting words, 'focus', 'drive', 'passion', 'authenticity', 'balance'. And while they are all good words, and intentions I have for the year ahead, neither of those words was my one word.
There was one word kept coming to me, and then the still healing side of me would try to over rule it with guilt. "That can't be your word, too selfish. Maybe selfish should be your word!" Oh shut up brain!!!
I would argue with myself and try to find another word. But the same word kept coming back, no mater how much I tried to fight it.
So I decided to try and sit with it. To really feel my word and what it meant.
And in accepting me word, I realised it was a colmination of all those other words, and then some. This word is the most honest, truest, genuine word I can hold for myself in the coming year.
If you had to think about a word for you for the year ahead, what would it be??
My word ~ 'ME'
Bring on 2025!! Happy New Year everyone ✨️
