Kelly’s Korner – Choose A Word For The Year

Making New Year's Resolutions gets old year after year. This year, why not try something different and makes changes focusing on one simple thing. A WORD. That's right. Just ONE word. If you could pick a word to focus on this year, what word would you choose?

Choosing A Word

Words that might come to mind:

• Generosity
• Kindness
• Wealthy
• Focus
• Happiness
• Compassion
• Health
• Attention

Build Around The Word You Choose

Let's say you pick the word "Compassion."  Maybe when you think about compassion, you think about those around you that you've been holding a grudge against. Maybe it will inspire you to invite them out for coffee...maybe it will inspire you to forgive them...maybe it will inspire you to volunteer at a local food shelter. The word should help you create change throughout the year as you focus on it.

Making Positive Change

It's important to keep your focus on positive aspects. If you choose the word "Kindness," for example, focus on maybe smiling at others..maybe opening a door for someone...paying for someone's meal in the drive thru, buying your co workers coffee. Focus on the word, to help make positive change for yourself and others.
