| Hiya Herd! We are now in the third week of 2021. How's it going so far? If you've been following us for a while, then you know that we don't subscribe to creating new year resolutions. However, choosing a “Word of the Year” is a practice we recommend in lieu of lofty resolutions. Your chosen word provides a theme for your year without the pressure of having to achieve specific goals or the guilt attached to not having been able to have met them. Think of it this way: Selecting a single word to be your focus for the year is like giving yourself a guiding north star that always brings you back to your highest self. The best part? It’s fail-proof because your chosen word defines your journey - not your destination. Here is our simple 5 step process to choosing your Word of the Year. Ready? Let’s get started!

Once you have answers from Step 1, visualize what your perfect day, career, relationship, home, (you get the idea) would feel like. See your ideal self living out her ideal day. How does it feel? What kind of energy does this vision emanate? Jot down your answers!
Step 3: Make a list
What words best describe or capture the images in Step 2? Jot them down and don’t second guess yourself!
Step 4: Meditate
Just sitting in silence for a couple of minutes and asking yourself “What word do I want to focus on in 2021?” will help narrow down your list. It’s incredible how being still can help your intuition shine through, and bring your word to the forefront.
Step 5: Create visual cues
This final step helps keep your chosen word as a prominent theme for the year. Out of sight, out of mind, right? So what we recommend is to put your chosen word in prominent places to keep it top of mind daily. Some suggested places are:
We hope this helps! In the coming days, Cher and I will post our words for this year. Please share yours with us in the comments section below!
