My one word for 2024
I am looking forward to 2024 and all that I have planned. One of the practices I have had for many years now is selecting a word of the year. Ali Edwards was the first one I heard talking about this practice. Her One Little Word was such a novelty for me back then. It helped me move from “New Years Resolutions” to setting intentions for my year.
Over the years, some of my words have been create, focus, action, consistent and determined. Each one served a purpose and had varying levels of success. When I am searching for a word, I want a word that can apply to all areas I have intentions for…business, home, relationships, health.
This year as I sat down, I thought about what word I felt that I needed this year. I usually start in November just jotting down words as they come to me. This year my list includes: enough, consistent, progress, persist, focus, daring, discipline, intentional, resolute, break-through and change. I don’t have a hard and fast rule about not repeating words, so I contemplated “consistent”. This was my 2023 word and my success was not great this year. As I sat with the word, it didn’t feel right for my 2024 intentions.
Over the next few weeks, I would re-visit the list. Each time I would make a mark next to the word that stood out to me. As we are approaching the end of the year, I can see that I have one word that is winning the race.
Have you selected your word for 2024?
