Picking a Word of the Year

Reflect on Your Goals: Consider your aspirations for the coming year. What areas of your life do you want to enhance or transform?

Identify Themes: Look for common threads among your goals. Is there a recurring theme that resonates with you?

Embrace Positivity: Choose a word that exudes positivity and empowerment. Your word should inspire and motivate you throughout the year.

Keep It Personal: Your word of the year should have personal significance. It could be tied to a dream, a challenge, or an aspect of yourself you want to cultivate.

Visualize Success: Envision how your chosen word will manifest in your daily life. Visualizing success can make your goals more tangible and achievable.

Breaking Down My Word of the Year

Looking back at past years, I've had a variety of different words. A couple years ago it was "yes" and last year it was "elevate". I have always tried to pick a word based on how I want to feel in the coming year. Last year I really felt this drive to elevate certain areas of my life and become a better version of myself.

When I think about this year, there were a few things that came to mind. I started journaling and wrote down several words that came to mind. As I started narrowing them down, I wanted to make sure this was sustainable throughout the year and something that got me excited. I chose the word EMBRACE. A few of my aspirations for this year include personal growth, overcoming excuses, embracing big challenges, & celebrating milestones and adventures (our wedding & honeymoon!).

I wanted something that would remind me to take risks, to do things differently than I’ve been doing them, while also embracing all of the wonderful memories to come this year.

I want 2024 to be a year of embracing challenges.

It means putting myself out there in my business, when it would be easier to hid behind the screen.

It means challenging myself to say YES new opportunities.

It means following through on what I say I'm going to do.

It means more patience, more presence, and new habits.

It means embracing all life has to offer & the beautiful celebrations to come (wedding, honeymoon, time with family and friends, new adventures)

I'm so looking forward to what 2024 has to offer. My favorite part of choosing a word of the year is that it takes pressure off of having to follow through with a New Years resolution & gives you something to look forward to throughout the year!

Still Looking for Your 2024 Word of the Year?

I’ve listed some of my favorites below, but before you pick one, take a while to think about what your goals are, who you really want to work on becoming in 2024. What are characteristics of that person? What do your goals for different aspects of your life have in common?

I love the theme a word of the year sets to your goals + direction in the new year. Once you’ve picked it, set it as your phone’s lock screen. Write it on the bathroom mirror (in dry-erase marker). Frame it for your desk or your nightstand. Keep it in the forefront of your mind and use it to set smaller monthly goals throughout the year.
