As a blogger, sometimes I need a little inspiration. It’s not
that I don’t have a lot to say, but there are times when it feels as though I
have already said it, multiple times, in post after post. I guess that’s what
they call writer’s block.
So, a couple of years ago, in searching for some inspiration,
I stumbled across a project. The concept is pretty simple: Rather than making a
long list of New Year’s Resolutions, you choose one word as your focus for the
year. This concept feels far more real to me than resolutions. Quite frankly, I
think most resolutions become wishful thinking pretty quickly.
#ONEWORD365
There are many different ways to bring this project to life,
but for most it is a way to sharpen their focus, attend to what really matters
and bring a new level of intention to their writing and to their lives.
I let my choice for 2015 be guided by my commitment to
inclusion. (My word for 2015
was intention.) I think I could have just as easily chosen the word reflection.
I spent much time over the past year thinking deeply about my own personal
practice of inclusion and seeking ways to merge that which permeates my
professional life with my personal life. I feel proud of what I have
accomplished.
Now, looking ahead to 2016, what jumps out at me is to focus on joy. I want to bring it into my life and my work with greater
intention (I’m not leaving 2015 behind so quickly). I want to find the joy in
the every day and I want to truly savor those joyous moments.
My “one word” for 2016 is JOY. What’s yours?
