Word of the Year…..
You pick a word that is supposed to signify how your year is going to go; what’s going to be important to you in the upcoming year. I like this year but I also think that it should come to you organically. You can’t force your word of the year.
For example, I didn’t pick a Word of the Year last year- 2023. I wasn’t feeling it and I didn’t want to force it. The previous years, I chose Bloom in 2020; Focus in 2021; Power, Glow & Purpose in 2022. While Bloom was really transformative, Focus was hard for me and I think it taught me a great lesson; some times not being able to focus on a particular thing you are really focusing on what’s important to you. Power, Glow & Purpose were interesting. They ended up being really prominent in 2022 for me and they all felt right.
I started thinking about my Word of the Year at the end of December. I honestly wasn’t sure what it was going to be; then those silly word searches kept popping up on my Instagram feed, with the caption “The first three words are going to be prominent in 2023 for you.” So I decided to do them, well 9 of them and then 3 of those “screenshot thing for your Word of the Year” reels. I wanted options and I wanted to see what would mgically show up.
Well between all of those 26 words that popped up, one stood out for me. You know when you get a feeling about something, that you cannot shake? Yup, that is how I felt about this word. If I am being honest, I didn’t know the true definition of this word BUT I had a feeling this was going to be important for me in 2024.
My Word of the Year for 2024 is:
Abundance (noun):
- A very large quantity of something
- The state or condition of having a copious quantity of something; plentifulness
- Plentifulness of the good things in life; prosperity
- The quantity or amount of something eg. a chemical element or an animal or plant species present in a particular area, volume, sample, etc.
