If you are thinking about being able to make goals this year that really come true, you will want to learn how to make a word for 2021. The beginning of the year is one of my favorite times, there is something so fresh and innocent about a new start. The possibilities are endless! In 2018 I had my first word of the year. 2017 was a hard year for me personally, and as it came to a close, I read a blog post about how having a word of the year helped provide focus and purpose. So, I decided to give it a go- and guess what, I loved it. Since then, my words have been- 2018 was peace; 2019 was joy; 2020 was intention. Picking a word of the year comes by doing some evaluating about the past year and really thinking about what I want the next year to look and feel like. My word that I picked for 2021 is Celebrate.
The definition of Celebrate is: to do something enjoyable in order to show that an occasion or event is special.
So how does it work once you pick your word- What’s next?? Well, for me it means that I look at how I want to use that word in all aspects of my life. For 2021, I want to really celebrate the people, events and ordinary everyday things that happen. 2020 taught us that we have no idea what is going to happen but no matter how bad things are, there is always something to celebrate.
How will I use my word for 2021?
-
Celebrate my people–
- my life is full of wonderful people and I want them to know it! I am going to celebrate everything that my husband, my kids, my family, my puppy, and friends bring to my life. This means being present when I am with them. Get the heck off my phone or any other type of distraction and just be present. Celebrating the people in my life means choosing them and letting them know how special they are to me.
-
Celebrate events-
- whether it is a birthday, holiday, the kids get a good grade, getting to go to coffee with friends, going on a date with my husband, having family over for dinner, or someone just has a good day! We get this one life to live, so I am not goint to let something pass by without noticing it, taking joy in it and celebrating!!
-
Celebrate simplicity-
- this means I am going to celebrate ways that I can make life more simple. I am not going to try to always be doing more and more. It’s okay to rest and have downtime, and I am going to celebrate that and not feel guilty about it. I am also going to celebrate looking for ways to make life more simple.
-
Celebrate my hobbies–
- I am going to make time for things that I really enjoy doing. Reading, crafting and organizing projects are things that I love, but they tend to get put on the back burner of life. I don’t make the time for them that they deserve.
To really honor my word of the year I like to make a vision board and this year I have a new printable to help organize the yearly goals into one place. When you sign up for my newsletter, you get access to all of my FREE printables.
Do you have a word of the year or ever tried one? I would love to hear about how you make goals and plan for the new year! I hope that you have many things to celebrate in the year to come!
