Finding a word of the year has been a part of my life for some years now. I usually start thinking about it around October and see where my heart and head lead me in the upcoming months.
As I have walked through the past six months life has been at a pace that truthfully has been hard to keep up with. There have been some AMAZING movements in my business and all I am involved in, but at the end of the day I was going to bed tired and waking up tired. As I looked at where I was and how I was feeling the word NO kept coming up in my mind.
No can seem like a harsh word perhaps with the connotation of shutting out people, opportunities and possibly even dreams. No can be a full sentence and for someone who likes to “explain” things it feels weird for me to say no and leave it at that.
With that being said it is time to put into practice doing just that. Listening to what my heart and brain are telling me, will lead me to saying no to what either no longer serves me or doesn’t serve me right now.
I believe saying no will lead to some yes’s that I haven’t even thought of and it will be yes to adventures, clients, and goodness that I didn’t even see coming. We have to create space to grow, or our world is too driven by deadlines and hours of the day. I am very much this way as a high achiever but that also can destroy what matters in life. I am Looking forward to seeing how this year unfolds.
Tell me about your word if you choose to have one!
