WOW, The new year, in fact the new decade has set in. Happy New Year!
Over the last year, I have fallen in love with the concept of themes and power words. I used them to guide me through the year though I had not intentionally set it up at the start of the year.
They are not a substitute for Goals. I am all in for Goals and Plan because it works. While goals and plan help me with the execution, power words are the guiding force. It was a powerful driver last year, especially very helpful in decision making.
My power word for 2019 was FOCUS
My power word for 2020 is COURAGE
I was battling between Courage, Humility, Patience, and Generosity and finally narrowed down on Courage. I will be using the word ‘COURAGE’ to guide me personally and professionally and making decisions that align with my power word. These are some of my guiding and review questions – How can I bring on COURAGE when I have to stand up for something important and fear grips me? Do my actions reflect COURAGE even when the day is rough? How did I show up with COURAGE today?
What about you?
Think of it as lighthouse that will guide your choices and actions over the coming year.
I have experimented with this concept for most of 2019 and I can say with surety that it has saved a lot of mental energy that I expend on decision-making. It was awesome and fun too!
Imagine how incredible the year would be if you lived up to your power word everyday!
