2024 Word of the Year
After a little deliberation and some input from Instagram, I finally decided on my Word of the Year. Since 2019, I have chosen a word of the year each new year. I like doing this more than resolutions. I feel like resolutions are so stringent and narrow, and it’s easy to feel like you haven’t reached a goal at the end of the year. We don’t know what a year will bring, what will propel us forward and what will derail us when it comes to our resolutions. But having a word, or a theme for the year lets me adapt to whatever life throws at me. And I never feel like I didn’t achieve it. I may do better at focusing on the word in some areas, but it’s a really good reason to pause and self-reflect at the end of the year, too.
This year’s word? I want MORE out of life. I want joy, I want laughter, I want love, relationship, friendship, family. I want more of the good things. I want to focus on the good things. So in 2024, my word is More.
