However choosing a word.... it allows you to just go back to it day after day for motivation and hope. More often then not the word I focus on will mean something completely different by the end of the year, but it will still exactly what I needed.
In 2020 my word was Organize. I planned to organize my goals, my house, my pictures, my computer, anything that needed to be decluttered and organized, I was going to get it done. Instead, everything shifted with the onset of the Pandemic. I had plenty of time, but the motivation and energy were being pulled in all different directions. I quickly realized that I needed to organize my priorities. I needed to put my self and my family first. I needed to make sure that our needs and happiness were being taken care of.
We made the decision as a family that I would spend more time at home with B. We decided to be more intentional on our weekends with playing games, and swinging in the backyard. Then, we decided on a lake house to build memories together. We soon spent every possible minute up there going on bike rides, tubing, riding bikes, and grilling on the back deck. By the end of 2020 I found so much clarity in what the priorities in my life were.
In 2021, my word is Renew. I am planning to renew my spark. Continue to focus on what matters to me, and move forward in my own goals and dreams. Sean and I have put together our financial and family goals for the future. I have made a list of my personal and health goals. B even has her own goals that she is working towards, including spending time with friends and perfecting her tumbling moves.
While I know that 2021 can throw anything it wants at us, and we have no choice but to endure, but I also know that I can renew my self, thoughts, and goals at any time, as long as I put in the effort.
What is your word of the year? I would love to hear your word, and if you have any reason behind it.
