The idea is similar to typical New Year’s resolutions in that you are resolving to improve yourself, but super simplified. Instead of coming up with a list of all the things you want to change about yourself (e.g. quit smoking; read the Bible; take up yoga; volunteer; get out of debt), pick one word that embodies the kind of person you want to be and apply that word to all areas of your life all year (e.g.. discipline; contentment; compassion; responsible; learn). If you want to learn more about this, there is a whole movement dedicated to helping you choose your word: My One Word. According to their website, the top 10 most popular words are:
- Trust
- Patience
- Love
- Discipline
- Focus
- Faith
- Surrender
- Peace
- Listen
- Joy
- What dream did you let die in 2014?
- What word do you want to live out in 2015? What initial actions can you take to start living this word out now?
