Do You Choose a Word for the Year?

For the past few years, I've chosen a word for the year. At the end of each year, I've looked back and been amazed by how much that word affected my year.

This year, my word was FLOW as in: Learn to go with the FLOW

I got a late start considering this for 2022. There's no rule of the universe that says you have to choose your word before January 1 and I hope to finish the process in the next few days.

Do you choose a word of the year? Does it do anything for you? What is your word for 2022 (if you don't mind sharing)?

My word last year was mindfulness. I have to admit, even though it was in my signature line I only occasionally thought about it.

I'm leaning toward consistency for 2022.

I'm making "magical journeys' my theme for my Bujo. Harry Potter's got a 25th anniversary coming up, I'm generally hoping to do some traveling, and I sincerely hope I make progress on some more mundane goals, so I hope that playing around with that concept will spark some inspiration.

"Realistic expectations" are also key for me, but I'm still toying around with ways to combine the two.

Don't have a specific word for the year, but I'm thinking I'll try to be more consistent pulling words out of the jar I have. I use them to spark my imagination or support my meditation practice, nothing elaborate. If nothing else, if I select words consistently I won't have to dust the container as much.

Mine is
Consistency

I need to be more consistent with my healthy living overall. I do good for a couple days then fall apart for a week, then do good for a couple days.

If I could pick two words for 2022 they would be JOY and ORGANIZATION. I seem to have been bereft of both in 2021.

Positive. I tend to be negative about the future, and although some bad things have happened, so far the years haven’t been as bad as I feared.

Love your new avatar, Alta! I haven't chosen a word before. I'll have to think about it. Patience came immediately to mind, though.
