50+ Word of the Year Ideas

Happy New Year!

I hope you are starting the new year rejuvenated from the holidays!  I am so glad you are here and joining me on this corner of the internet.  Welcome!

I love the start of a New Year.  It's a fresh start, clean slate and a chance to take a look at the year ahead.  

In the last post, I talked about how I don't make New Years Resolutions.  Instead, I decide on a WORD.  I think of what I want the year to look like. How I want to shape decisions and what I want to accomplish.  

This year I chose.......

I want to be more consistent in many aspects of my life.  I am printing this image and putting it on my desk at work and next to my bed.  

Have you thought of a word?  

If you want to do a word of the year instead of a resolution, I compiled over 50+ words and definitions for you!  Take a look below to help you think of what you want this year to look like/focus on.  You can always pick one for your homelife and one for work.
