Rather than setting New Year’s Resolutions (that you forget about by February), a lot of people are now choosing one word to focus on each year instead. This method is called The Word of the Year, and it’s the perfect way to keep your focus on what matters the most.
I’ve been doing this for a few years now and it’s made a huge difference in my life. I thought it might be helpful to share some past words that have worked well for me.
Some of them were a phrase, rather than just one word, and some were for just a season, rather than for an entire year.

Grace
One little word can make such a difference,
but only if you focus on it.
Some years I forgot what my word was after a couple months, and other years I was able to stay focused on it all year. Want to know what made the difference?
I, along with with 6 other women of faith will be revealing our secrets to how to choose a word of the year and stay focused on it all year during the Word of the Year Workshop – a live online interactive event in January.

I don’t have one picked out yet. I know it will come to me. I am thinking peace. His peace, John 14:27.
2021 was seek, 2022 persevere and this year it is focus. I find it very helpful to have a word of the year!
I never thought about replacing my New Years resolutions with a single word. In a way, choosing 1 word is more powerful than a list of “promises” or “goals” that I usually forget by February. For me, this year’s word will have to be prayer. It was one of my goals to pray more!
