I’ve never liked New Year’s Resolutions. Starting out the year with an almost guaranteed disappointment doesn’t make much sense to me. So when a friend told me about Word of the Year, the idea really resonated. I’ve enjoyed planning one each year for over a decade now and have one in mind for 2023.
I haven’t committed yet because I give the word lots of space to land and settle, and during that time I keep checking in to see if it really is the one I want. For something to be my guiding principle, I need to be committed to it emotionally, intellectually and somatically.
There are many tools on the web for how to design your word, even communities offering support and
encouragement. Here’s a sample:

I hope your word of the year for 2020 fulfils your ambition!
