Beyond Resolutions: This Simple, yet effective One-Word Approach Can Yield Your Best 2025

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Reader

As we approach the new year, you may be thinking about goals, resolutions, and how to make 2025 your best year yet. Or, if you're like me, you’re just trying to get through the holidays, and then you'll get serious soon enough about those plans, which may involve a scramble at year end. Both are valid approaches, though what isn't ideal is the belief that you must have detailed plans and resolutions for your year to be successful.

I have a trick I’ve been using for over a decade that lets you forget the rigid resolutions and stay on track throughout the year by choosing a "Word of the Year."

Unlike complicated goal-setting or unrealistic resolutions, a Word of the Year offers a refreshingly simple yet profound filter, helping me align my daily actions with my deepest values and my dream of change. Each year my word has served as a guiding light, and this simple practice has transformed my life and business in ways I never could have imagined.

Choosing a word is something I look forward to revisiting and evolving alongside my own personal growth. If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed and off-track, I invite you to join me in this empowering exercise.

Want some tips on how to choose the perfect word? You can reply to this email for some quick tips or you listen to episode 239 of the Positively LivingⓇ podcast. (I list out my words for the last decade, give you questions to ask yourself, and share details on how I've used mine.)

Together, let's make this your most intentional, purposeful year yet.
