I used to be really big into new years resolutions (see here and here).  I mean I still am into making resolutions but they don’t need to be beginning at the start of the year.  I set goals or dream big any time of the year, month or given day.  Continuous improvement is just that – continuous!

I still have a few goals but they are ongoing/refreshed from things I was working towards last year.

I was journalling the other day and 3 words came to me:

Joy

Expression

Transformation

I want everything I do this year to be an embodiment of these words.

If I go for a run, I want to stop and take some pictures of me and my surroundings be cause that is an expression of my joy.

As soon as I have an idea for a post whether it’s on the blog (here or here), LinkedIn or Instagram, I am not going to sit on it – I am going to immediately express it.

If I need to upgrade, change or create something – I am going to make that transformation happen.

I think using words as intentions for your year is a great tool.  They can be easily reminders providing quick ways to act.

Do you set resolutions at the start of the year?

Have you tried using a words as intentions for your year?
