Resolutions be done! Likely by the middle of January you will be done with them, leaving them in the past like many resolutions before. You are not alone. Many of us shed our resolutions within months, weeks, or even days of January 1st.
How come? I believe it’s because of the giant ‘should’ attached to most of them. So often we select a resolution based on what we think we ‘should’ do, what we’ve been told will be good for us, and/or what we hope to be better at. We pick resolutions with our heads, more often than our hearts. Where’s the passion in that? No wonder we drop them!
I love to reframe resolutions into intentional affirmations. Merging the positivity of affirmations and the precision of intentionality sparks masterful phrases of inspiration. Please keep on with your affirmations, bringing them alive in your life for this New Year and every day afterward.
Today, I’d like to morph intentional affirmations into a slightly different tool: the Word-of-the-Year…or more appropriately YOUR Word-of-the-Year. With a single word, you can shift your life. Up for playing?
Why a single word? By having a single concise word at the ready, you can easily and effortlessly remind yourself of your intention in any given moment. It becomes so top-of-mind that it lives on the tip-of-your-tongue. With a single thought or utterance, you re-align with the intention the word holds for you: it re-ignites you.
How so? Well, your intentional word expresses a deeper, more heart-based sense of your being…your big ‘why’ of life. It challenges you to dig deep and discern your main priority…your heart’s desire. It calls on you to check-in with your alignment and observe the blocks to…your life lessons. It provides amazing clarity to vision…your best version of yourself.
But what word…of so many to choose from??? What word inspires you for 2012? What are you dedicated to this year? What do you want to move toward? What can you let go of in order to make your word your priority? How will your word serve you? How will you serve the world in 2012?
May I suggest using your journal to help you get clear and to narrow your words to the prize winner: What is your ‘why’? What is your heart’s desire? Where are your life lessons taking you? What one word expresses the best version of you in 2012?
Need some support in Visioning your Word-of-the-Year and your best 2012, please feel free to get in touch. I would be honoured to support you in Magically Manifesting your Vision!
