For 2017, instead of picking a resolution or goal, I decided to pick One Word for 2017.
I know it is already 6 days into 2017 but I wanted to share the One Word concept with you. It is never too late to pick a word!!
2017 is a big year for me, a milestone birthday. The BIG 3-0! I am actually very excited about it. I feel like my twenties were a time of trials, lots of change and quite a bit of growth both personally and in relationships. Not to say that this won’t happen in my thirties but I feel that my mind has shifted and I am ready to take what I learned in my twenties and shine!
I have never been a big resolution setter, call me crazy I always feel that setting a resolution is like setting yourself up for failure, not giving you the space to grow and mold into something better. However, when my team challenged us at the end of 2016 to pick a personal word to be OUR word for 2017 I was all in.
I feel that, unlike picking a resolution, picking a word is not limiting. Sure it my limit some things you do with your time, resources etc., but you will definitely be better because of it. It is also fun that everyone’s word can and should be different. Personal to you and your life!
You shouldn’t just pick a word quickly, take time to think, pray and contemplate it. Make sure it is a word that defines who you want to become in a year. I will admit that my word came to me fairly quickly but I didn’t settle upon it right away. I took the time to think of other words and also take my first word and apply it to the many facets of my life.
My word is CONFIDENT.
Isn’t it funny that to others I seem to be confident when deep down I am not…{not yet that is!!!}. The facades that people perceive to be truth is unreal!
In 2017 I am going to be:
-more confident in who I am.
-more confident in who I was designed to be.
-more confident in my faith.
-more confident in my business and helping others get healthy.
-more confident in who I am as a mother and wife.
-more confident in my relationships with others.
-more confident in my own skin.
I am sure this list will grow as the year goes on, but I am very excited to watch myself grow and become a more confident person because of it. Who can argue with that?
The funny thing is when I was selecting a word, this was the first one that came to my mind but my lack of confidence actually made me hesitant to make it mine! After spending time praying and thinking about it, that NEEDED to be my word!
So I am owning it, in 2017 I AM going to be CONFIDENT in all aspect of my life, big and small! Watch out world!
So now I challenge you. What is YOUR word for 2017? I would love to hear it and help you achieve it! Here are some amazing examples from my teammates:
engage, committed, grace, joy, powerful, courage, intention, grateful, thrive, brave…
