Do you have a WORD for yourself (a behavior) for this new year?

qualitygal — Wed, 01 Jan 2020 13:29:10 GMT

There's a few I'm still trying to decide between. Do you have a word this year you want to hear yourself say more, or a word that describes a behavior you want to change? It could be for change for the good for yourself. You don't even need to mention it here, mine I think I'll write on my calendar and be grateful every day I think it or use it.

1/1/20 I'm going with courageous.

Enough

I AM enough, just the way I am.

I HAVE enough in terms of material possessions.

I DO enough for others and will no longer be guilted/pushed into doing more or things that I'd rather not do.

I've HAD enough of the nonsense and drama that goes on around me and will walk away from it and not engage.

For 20 years, or so, I listen to my still, small voice for a word or phrase for the next year. I explore the word and learn / practice. Each year the word has been challenging. One year I had to repeat 'gratitude' because I was so bad at it. But this year, the word is so promising. It should be interesting.

As someone mentioned -- continually practicing mindfulness. Much to learn.

I'll have what @FrostyBabe1 is having for 2020. Yes, 'enough' IS enough.

Patience! Although I never express it outwardly I tend to get irritated with others when I am out driving or shopping.

I'm working on trying to ignore their behavior and just continue on with my day. I'm sure that at times I irritate others too.

I don't have a word for the new year, but I have an inspirational quote by Mohandas Ghandi that I say EVERY morning after prayer; "Be the change you want to see in the world".

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I'm going to try not to buy it unless I need it.

My word would have to be--save.

I'm searching for more than a word. Words and quotes and sayings and prayers are good, but it takes something much more than repeating a word or two.
