Choosing a word of the year for 2024 can seem daunting, especially if you don\u2019t know where to begin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello Love. It\u2019s that time of year when I begin thinking about my vision for this year so that I can start working on my Vision Board.<\/a> With so many roadblocks and unexpected challenges that were thrown my way (including the loss of my grandmother), it became challenging to put in the work. Although I struggled, I still accomplished many things on my board. This coming year, I want to shift my thoughts to what I know best: focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When selecting a word of the year to create your vision board, you must hone in on what you want to happen in your life. That begins with self-analyzing. This is the perfect time to be honest with yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask yourself the following ten questions:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. What do I want for myself this year? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. How will I obtain what I want? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Can I shift and put in the work? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. How will what I receive change my life? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Will I be resistant to the changes I want? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Will what I am asking for make me a better person? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Can I genuinely envision the life of my dreams? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. What do I want more or less of in my life? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Do I deserve what I am asking for? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Will I wholeheartedly believe in myself? <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Do you see a common theme among your answers above?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    There are a plethora of words in the English Dictionary. You don\u2019t have to choose just one word for the year. I like to have one main word that I carry with me; if there are words that fit my main word, I add them. Why? Because I am focusing on the whole person, not just one aspect of me. It\u2019s almost like describing a person\u2019s characteristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choose a word that feels right to you. It is not a word you are \u201cstuck\u201d with. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Once you have selected your word of the year, you can use it for goal-setting and begin writing your vision. Place your word in a visual location that you will see daily. i.e., bathroom wall, telephone wallpaper. Select a new word if your goals change and it no longer serves you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are some words I’ve found to get you started!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
