Last year, I talked about how I would summarize my resolutions and intentions for the new year in one word.
The word I’m choosing for 2017 is COMMITMENT.
It’s a big word, reserved for important relationships. Its synonyms are: devotion, promise, fidelity, faith and dedication. It feels like the right time to make promises again—after having flings with unfamiliar careers, new identities, different goals.
The relationship I’m committing to in 2017 are my life coaching business and the habits I’ve established (daily meditation, journaling, affirmation, visualization and exercise). This means more dedication to writing, reaching out to potential partners, putting my name out there.
More than setting a resolution, a word helps direct your choices. You can ask yourself: Will accepting this opportunity bring more (insert your word here) to my life? Will sitting on the couch mean (insert your word here)? What does (insert your word here) really mean and how can I live it in my daily life?
If you need help finding your word, check out Susannah Conway’s Find Your Word email course. There’s a lot of journaling, exercises, a list of words and even a fun creative activity to help you discover a word that feels right, that makes your body vibrate, where you feel that your heart has burst open to welcome it in.
