Happy Hacks


Nov 10, 2018

In this episode I talk about the concept of picking a word for the year - i.e. an overarching focus you want your decisions to stem from. 

At first I found the concept of choosing a word for the year, (with a level of seriousness), quite amusing. Then I heard people talk about how enormously helpful and transformative they found it to be, so I gave it a go.

What I like about it though is that its a gentle way of settling on one important goal for your life and giving yourself a good while to meet it.

My word for 2017 was SLOW. Hilariously I didn't slow down a beat, but I think taking a year of intention was necessary to pave the way to be prepared to take the action needed in order to actually slow down the following year.  I needed to spend a whole year wanting it in order to be ready to let go of certain things to make it possible.

My word for 2018 is still undecided (as I write this in November 2018!) But the general theme has revealed itself to be getting to know my 'Self'. Or meeting my 'Self'.

My word (or focus) for 2019 is flashing on me everywhere I look, listen on to hear more!

Disclaimer:
I’m learning and having 'aha! moments' all the time so please forgive me - I may contradict myself sometimes!  I also have a habit of using sweeping statements like ‘I always’ and ‘I know’. So help a girl out and just mentally replace them in your head with 'I sometimes' or 'I think' ;)
