This morning, I pulled on an old shirt I have been wearing for years. It’s from an LLS (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) fundraiser. For the first time, I noticed something I’d never registered before: right there on the front, it says “Empower.”
That just so happens to be my word of the year.
Have you ever picked a word of the year?
I only started doing it a few years ago. But I really love the way it creates an emotional roadmap or guidepost for me. Something to live by or return to when I feel myself getting off track. And a touchpoint to reflect on where I’ve been each year.
Last year, my word was Align. It helped me get clear on what’s true for me, what I want, what values I’m living by, and where I might be out of sync.
This year is all about action.
I’m empowering myself to take action in big ways – like getting certified in Clinical EFT Tapping (more to come on that!) and expanding beyond T1D coaching. And in smaller ways, like finally getting frozen shoulder surgery and going to Croatia this July(!).
I’m empowering myself to:
- Take imperfect action
- Trust my gut
- Believe in myself even more
- Sit with the discomfort that growth takes
If you’ve picked a word this year, I’d love to hear it.
And if you haven’t, but want support finding one, or figuring out how to get unstuck, feel free to schedule a free discovery call.
