What Are Your Word(s) For The New Year?
The new year is a time to reevaluate, readjust, pivot if needed, set goals, and celebrate the previous year’s wins. The celebration part is extremely important as it helps to review past efforts. It also helps to see how far you’ve come and gives you the motivation to keep grinding! Sometimes we missed the opportunity to celebrate our wins, no matter how big or small. We miss it because we are so focused on what we didn’t accomplish that we can’t give ourselves grace for what we did accomplish. So first and foremost celebrate your wins!
Now once you have celebrated - regroup and put your new year goals and aspirations in place. Notice I did not say resolutions. Do you know why? Because, the problem is that many people set these bodacious resolutions that are sometimes very unrealistic, and they don't follow through on them. The key is if you were not doing any of those things in the previous year, how are you going to magically bite off such a big resolution in the new year? So here is our recommendation……….
Start with simple keywords that can drive your focus on whatever goals you may have. Also, be ready to evolve, because the words you start with in the new year may not be the same words you end the year with or more words may be added. It’s beauty in motion!
What are your words for 2023? What's the one thing you want to accomplish this year? Do you have any goals?
Here are a few words that we came up with to help us focus on what matters most in 2023:
Health — Do you want to get healthier? Are there specific things you need to do to achieve this goal? Look, we have a lot of catching up to do! To say we faltered in 2022 is an understatement! But guess what - we have forgiven ourselves and will move forward to a better health focus in this new year. So let’s go!
Consistency — Consistency is key to success. If you're consistent with something, it will eventually become part of your life. This goes hand in hand with our word, “Health”. To get into a healthier state, we must be consistent. This word also drives our passions and purpose! Being consistent is everything in everything!
New Year — This year is going to be different than last year, literally! We will push to make progress toward our goals, push to accomplish more than last year, even if it’s a small accomplishment, and continue our better choices to have a better quality of life.
Goals — Set some goals for yourself this year and write them down so they're there when needed during tough times (and let's face it, there will be tough times). No one is exempt from tough times, no matter the scale. So write the vision, make it plain, and then take action!
Remember we love ya’ll for real and we are #rooting for everyone to have an amazing 2023!!
