My One Word
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Can you believe it? 2011! Wow. I felt like last year flew by so quickly and I am curious what 2011 has in store for me and my family!
Now, My One Word - I am SO late to this "game"... as usual. Apparently this has been going on since 2007. I just heard of it last year and didn't participate, but decided this year I am going to try it out. Ever heard of it? My One Word - a new kind of New Years Resolution?
Here is a little excerpt from the website:
Every New Year we hope this will finally be the year that things will change. We make promises about the new person we're going to become, pledging to get a grip on our finances, get in shape, become a better parent, spouse, even a nicer human being! But there’s one problem: our resolutions seldom work. The busy pace of life gets the better of us, and suddenly, the year is over with little to no personal growth having occurred in our lives.
“My One Word” is an experiment designed to move you beyond the past and look ahead. The challenge is simple: lose the long list of changes you want to make this year and instead pick ONE WORD. This process provides clarity by taking all of your big plans for life change and narrowing them down into a single thing. One word focuses on your character and creates a vision for your future.
I sat down today, following this guideline found on the One Word website that walks you through some simple steps on how to pick your one word for the year. I read through some testimonials and was impressed. I made my list and came up with my one word. I will focus on this word and make changes throughout the year. The website offers some guidance to help you stay focused on your word.
Maybe I will keep you updated on here as to how I am doing with my One Word!
