HEY I just want to quickly flesh out what a Word Of The Year is. THE New Year thing to do is to set a bunch of Resolutions right? Get Fit, Be Slim, Be richer. I never got on with this, never even tried it. Then my partner (now wife, because she's a keeper!) introduced me to an alternative that she uses. "IT is called Word of the Year," she said, "You choose a word and that becomes your focus, your clarification of your plans and your guide. It is a single word resolution." I have done it now for, oh, some years! (Life's too short to keep count.) Let me share a few of my words. A single word resolution. I have had: Ascend, Grow, Release, Lead, Flow. not in the slightest in that order. I tend towards words that are very active, there is a lot of energy in my words, as I like to live a life with very much energy, my own and other people's, being bounded around. MY word has to inspire me, scare me, make me get excited for the possibilities that following it and using it can have. SOMETIMES, when you notice something, or focus on something you will find that it comes to your attention more and more. This happens with your word. You notice it appearing in your life, and it is like a little whisper from within you reminding you of your focus, saying "keep going, that's the way, keep going." THERE are set backs and there are moments of wondering if anything will come of it, but the set backs, the hold ups and the obstacles help to build us and strengthen us and reinforce our powers in ourselves and our abilities. I will explore that in another blog some time, believe, for now, that hills and headwinds make you strong. A few ideas, in case you need a nudge: |
