I'm super excited to introduce these concepts to the blog... and track them throughout the year!
Word of the Year
I have picked a •word of the year• for the past 3-4 years. Some examples: authentic, vibrant, joy, simplify. For 2019, I chose BE. I talk about my process for doing this (and my 19 for 2019 list, which I thought would be fun to check in with throughout the year) in my IG highlights. BE. I thought about calm, still, peace, grace, present... but I kept coming back to a “mantra” of sorts: Be calm. Be still. Be peace. Be grace. Be present. Be. This feels different for me. Usually I’m gung-ho on New Years, revitalized by a brand new beginning, but my body, mind, and spirit this year needs slow, space, freedom. I need to learn to be still and listen...
I’m HORRIBLE at it, but after soul searching this past year, I discovered I FILL my plate so full it overflows mostly out of fear. But I’ve decided to face what I’m running from (or toward) in 2019 ✌🏻!
