Do you choose a word to focus on for the year? I adopted the practice a few years ago and have found that if I remind myself of it periodically, I am able to manifest it in various ways. Truthfully last year’s word has been my most successful, I really embraced “GIVE” and was able find ways to give throughout every aspect of my life… even my job is about giving in so many ways.

As I shared previously, I am continuing this tradition and have chosen “GROWTH” as my word for 2022. Growth can come about in so many ways, but what I really want to focus on is continuing my personal growth. I don’t make resolutions and I no longer make big yearly goals, instead I try to set some intentions to go along with my word. Here are my intentions for growth:

I want to continue to explore what it is that makes me happy and find ways to incorporate more of that into my life.

I want to delve deeper into this career that I have come to love and find ways to provide more for my team and the people we support. And yes, maybe even grow my office while I’m doing it.

I want to learn more about the world and the different cultures and traditions throughout.

I want to explore my fascination with Buddhism and develop my own spiritual practice.

I want to find more ways to give back to the world around me.

I want to continue to get to know the woman I am becoming at this midpoint in life.

I want to take chances and push past my comfort zone.

I know that 2022 is not going to be a perfect year, no year is, but I do hope that it is another defining year in my life, and moves me further along this path of self discovery.
