It's a new year and that means it's time for a new One Word. I've had so much fun talking to many of you this week about your new words. In past years, I have had to spend a long time finding my word. But, this year it popped into my head at the end of December and I tried to convince myself that this word was NOT the right word for me. But, no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't shake it!
My ONE WORD for 2020 is DISCIPLINE. This word is hard! I wanted nothing more than to pick a word that would be a lot more fun, but no, DISCIPLINE is my word. So in 2020 I am focusing on: -Disciplined thoughts and self-talk -Disciplined responses to events -Disciplined work ethic -Disciplined eating habits -Disciplined spending habits (farewell Amazon) -Disciplined exercise habits -and I'm sure I will uncover many more ares of my life in which I need to be more disciplined My past words truly have changed my life. In the past, my words have been: Connect-2015 Celebrate-2016 Journey-2017 Joy-2018 Perspective-2019 As I look back on my words I have distinct memories of how I have grown and changed because of each of them. What I know though is that my word alone isn't what help grow but instead the fact that I consciously focused on my word each day is what made my word come to life! Jon Gordon says "What you focus on in life determines whether you will experience peace in your heart..." Joel Osteen reminds us that "If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have." When we choose a word, we make a choice to narrow our focus. We make a choice to search for the way our word will make our lives better. In doing so, our word comes to life and we are forever changed. I hope that your word helps you focus on who you want to be this year! Haven't chosen a word before and don't know how to get started?
