Choose A Word

Today, take a minute (or more) and choose a word. Choose a word that will guide you through the year. A word that will roll off your lips each morning. It was difficult for me this year as I know I need a drastic change in my mindset. A word that I don’t love kept showing up until I finally conceded to choose it. The word is “consistency.” Throughout my hectic non-conforming lifestyle, consistency was a “dirty word.” For me, it signaled routine — which for me translated to boredom and ordinary. Yet, for the first time in my life, I’m in a situation where consistency is possible. And at a time when I realize without consistency — results are elusive. So, I’m casting aside the “fear” of ordinary — the threat of boredom — the abhorrence of routine. Instead, I’m embracing the idea of scheduling, commitment, and discipline. I’m going to take the slow train — step-by-step and piece-by-piece — I will get there through consistent small daily actions. So, what will your word be for 2022?
