I love having a theme word for the year - this year I've also added five ways of being (got the idea from Molly Mahar from Stratejoy)
2014 - Complete
2015 - Motivate
2016 - Strength
2017 - Growth
This year I've chosen CULTIVATE and my ways of being are CONNECTED, INTENTIONAL, COURAGEOUS, PERSISTENT, and SERENE
Sometimes I have to do a little work to find my word, other years it's just screaming at me from all angles. If I'm having trouble, I usually brainstorm and make word lists and look up definitions on Google. But, once my word crosses my path I just know it, something deeply resonates and the deal is done!
I've done a couple different projects with my word of the year. Sometimes I make digital scrap pages, sometimes found art collages, sometimes I just print it and frame it for the wall. Some years I do ongoing projects surrounding my word, other years it just subtly and gently guides me. I almost always create a Pinterest board full of images that I want my year to look like.
