How to Choose a Word for the Year


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the transformative practice of choosing a word to guide your year. This simple yet profound ritual, part of the Thrive process, serves as an anchor and a compass, helping us align with what truly matters. 

I share my personal journey with the word Grace for 2024, and how it’s opened my heart and grounded my path. 

Whether you're setting resolutions or simply seeking clarity, this episode will inspire you to choose a word that reflects who you are becoming in the year ahead.

My invitation to you, Love, is to join us for Thrive, or if you prefer, take a few moments on your own to choose a word for 2025. Feel free to share your word with me; I'd love to hear about what you're growing into this year.

Key Takeaways:

  • Choosing a Word for the Year: Selecting one word helps focus your energy, creating a theme that aligns your actions with your deeper values.
  • Grace as a Guide: The word Grace teaches us to approach life with patience, strength, and love, even in moments of imperfection.
  • Reflective Practice: Journaling prompts and mindful reflection can help uncover a word that resonates deeply with your soul’s intentions.
  • Practical Steps to Select Your Word: Steps include setting aside quiet time, reflecting on meaningful questions, and allowing a single word to emerge as your guide.

Memorable Quotes:

  • "Grace is the face love wears when it meets imperfection."
  • "When I say, ‘What if I fall?’ Grace responds, ‘Oh my Love, you will fly.’"
  • "You don’t need a new gym membership or a day planner to live a great life—sometimes all you need is a word."
  • "Choose wisely, for words are powerful."

Reflective Questions for Listeners:

  1. What matters most to you this year?
  2. What qualities do you want to cultivate in your life?
  3. What experiences do you want to invite in, and what would you like to let go of?
