It's been popular now for a couple of years to “pick” a word… one word… to be your word for the year.
I'm finally going to do it.
But why?
Most people make New Year's resolutions that they don't keep, right? There are a ton of reasons why picking an undesirable habit and looking to “fix” it every January doesn't work.
What if you could ditch all the complicated and hard-to-keep resolutions and just focus on ONE positive thing. Like a word.
Change, any change, doesn't come from anything other than focusing on something that you want and choosing a word replaces the broken promises you make to yourself every year with a VISION that you can easily focus on.
When you choose a single word, you have a clarity and focus. You are moving toward the future rather than swearing off the past.
And I like that. It's POSITIVE rather than NEGATIVE.
So how do you do it?
This is the hardest part for me! There are a gajillion words that I love and aspire to, so picking is hard for me. Other people know right away what their word is, but not me.
(Short pity party)
Ok… I found a cool process to find your word on myintent.org.

- Is there something that you want to let go of?
- Is there something you want to improve upon?
- What energizes you or makes you feel like your true-self?
DEVELOP
What’s holding you back from achieving the answers in Step 1? What WORD, as a daily reminder, would help you achieve what you seek from Step 1?For example, if you want to start your own business but have some doubts you’d like to overcome, you could choose a word such as BELIEVE, COURAGE, or IGNITE. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you may choose a reminder like BREATHE, STRENGTH, or FAITH.

You may have come up with a few words, and that’s ok, but what is the one WORD that is the most important, the priority, to begin working on today?
