Choosing Your Word for the Year: Setting an Intention That Inspires

Hello Beautiful, as we step into a fresh chapter, have you ever thought about choosing a word for the year?

It’s a beautiful way to set an intention—a guiding light that helps you navigate the twists and turns of life with purpose and clarity.

Unlike resolutions, which can feel rigid and overwhelming, a word for the year offers gentle direction and room to grow.

What Is a Word for the Year?

Your word for the year is a single word or phrase that captures how you want to feel, grow, or show up in the year ahead.

Think of it as the north star of your intentions.

It’s not about achieving something specific but about embodying a value or mindset that resonates deeply with you.

Some examples of powerful words include:

• Courage

• Joy

• Balance

• Growth

• Abundance

• Trust

Your word can be anything that speaks to your heart and reflects what you need most in this season of life.

How to Choose Your Word

Picking your word is a soulful process. Here’s how you can find the one that feels just right:

1. Reflect on the Past Year

   Take a moment to journal or think about the year you’re leaving behind.

   What worked well?

   What challenges did you face?

   What lessons did you learn?

2. Dream About the Year Ahead

   Ask yourself: How do I want to feel in the coming year?

   What qualities do I want to cultivate?

   What would bring me joy, peace, or fulfillment?

3. Listen to Your Intuition

   Words might start popping into your mind during this process.

   Write them down without judgment.

   Then, sit with each one and notice how it feels.

   Does it spark excitement or a sense of calm?

   That’s your word.

4. Keep It Simple

   Remember, your word doesn’t have to be perfect.

   It’s a tool, not a rule.

   Choose something that feels meaningful to you and trust the journey it will take you on.

Here are some ideas to help you stay connected to your intention:

1. Create a Visual Reminder

   • Write your word on a sticky note and place it on your mirror or desk.

   • Add it to your vision board or make it the cover of your vision book.

   • Design a phone wallpaper with your word to keep it front and center.

2. Incorporate It into Your "Find Your 15"

   • Spend 15 minutes journaling each day about how your word is showing up in your life.

   • Meditate on your word, imagining how it feels to embody it fully.

   • Take small, intentional actions that align with your word. For example, if your word is "Courage," try something that pushes you out of your comfort zone.

3. Revisit and Adjust

   Life changes, and your relationship with your word might evolve too.

   Revisit it regularly to see how it’s guiding you.

   If you feel called to shift your focus mid-year, that’s okay—your intention is there to support you, not constrain you.
