What's Your Word? #MyIntent
What’s Your Word?
For the past few years, I have decided to pick a yearly theme or word/phrase as a way to guide my goal setting and vision for the next year. I start that brainstorming process in October during my reset phase, so that I have a lot of time to give it a lot of thought. I talked about the 3 R’s: Reflect, Recharge, and Reset in a blog a few weeks ago if you’d like to check it out here to learn more about what I mean by the reset phase.
Are you looking for a different kind of New Years Resolution? Consider picking a Word of the Year! It's the perfect way to make sure the goals you have set for yourself in the next year are worked on daily and with intention. Choosing a word of the year is incredibly effective, too!

I am offering a kickoff discount for anyone wanting to get their new What’s Your Word? MyIntent bracelet, necklace or keychain from me.

Whether you are selecting a world/theme for your year or you want to have a reminder of something to reset and ground you no matter where you are, here are some questions to ask yourself as you start to think about what word would apply best to your life:

2018 Started It for Me
I had set resolutions in my life for years, but I had never thought of using a word or theme to guide my year and help me maintain my focus. My theme/word for 2018 was self-care and I spent the entire year finding ways to create, attempt, practice and establish my self-care routines. It was such a transformational year, and I loved that I had a guiding concept to keep me on track through the year. Although I don’t see anything wrong with resolutions, I felt like having a word to guide my life was less restrictive and allowed room for growth and transition along the way.
2019 Solidified the Process
After having such a great experience with picking a theme for 2018 to guide my life, I decided to continue that process in 2019. My theme/word for 2019 is unalome. Basically it is the concept that the journey to your destination is not straight. In fact, it’s quite curvy and bumpy, but it’s all headed towards forward progress and reaching goals. I actually received the word unalome on a What’s Your Word? #MyIntent bracelet in my December CoachCrate last year. I love my bracelet so much, and it’s with me everyday.
I highly recommend CoachCrate and I have a section specifically about it and how you can join in the next section.
Are you struggling with reaching your goals? Are you looking for a fun way to dramatically change your life and accomplish all the things you planned for in the next year? Have you heard of choosing a word of the year? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have to keep reading. I will tell you all about how you can choose your word of the year and stay on track to live your best year yet! This is perfect for moms, entrepreneurs, teachers, college students, or anyone, really! #WordOfTheYear #NewYearsResolution #GoalSetting #Entrepreneur #SmallBusinessOwner #PersonalDevelopment #MyIntent #WhatsYourWord

28 Days of Gratitude Challenge
My FREE 28 Days of Gratitude Challenge launched this a few weeks ago, and there is still time to join! The month of November is traditionally when we are already reflecting on giving thanks, so I decided to create the 28 Days of Gratitude Challenge to help us celebrate Thanksgiving this year.
But it’s not just for Thanksgiving. I set up the challenge in a way that you can start at any time and each day for 28 days you will get an email sent to you with a daily gratitude prompt or activity that will take no more than 5-10 minutes to complete. The idea is to spend time each day reflecting on the things you are grateful for as a way to shift your mindset. If you’d like to sign up for the FREE 28 Days of Gratitude Challenge, you can do so through this link.
