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

Published 12 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.

Reader Have you ever looked at your to-do list and felt overwhelmed before you even started? That tight, pressured feeling isn’t because you’re unproductive or bad at organizing. It’s because you're working from the wrong kind of list in the first place. (And you're not alone. Most of us are.) We’re taught to write everything down so we don’t forget… but what we end up with is a jumble of obligations, ideas, guilt triggers, and outdated tasks that feels more like a junk drawer than a clarity...

Reader Have you ever noticed how gratitude phrases about being grateful are everywhere from coffee mugs, to Instagram posts, and especially for November décor? You can't turn around in a TJMaxx without seeing a "grateful thankful blessed" sign! And while there's nothing inherently wrong with that, I wonder if that makes the concept so familiar we forget how powerful it really is. Gratitude isn’t just a feel-good sentiment. It’s a scientifically proven habit that rewires your brain for joy....

Hi Reader Have you ever thought, “I just want to be happy”?We’ve all said it at some point (or thought it at least) especially in seasons when stress feels relentless. But what does happiness really mean? How do we find happiness when life feels anything but light? That’s the heart of this week’s episode of the Positively Living® Podcast, where I revisit an earlier and incredibly meaningful conversation with happiness coach and author Julie Leonard. When we first spoke, the world was still...
