By now you’ve probably seen or heard of folks choosing a “Word of the Year”. I started using this concept at the recommendation of a friend back in 2018. I had found myself making resolutions, not sticking to them, and feeling defeated and back to square one usually by mid-January. Sound familiar? This Word of the Year concept resonated with me because I could choose a way to be or live during the year while not feeling like I had to give up because I got a little off course. So for 2023, I have chosen the word CONSISTENCY.
A new year brings excitement, rebirth, sometimes anxiety, and often resolutions. I can say I’m feeling all of those except having a resolution. That is something I left in 2017 and haven’t looked back. I instead started choosing a word of the year, like many of you, because it made more sense to live by than something arbitrary which I would probably end up ditching in a few weeks anyway.
