Forget Resolutions, You Need a WOTY
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉 With everyone rushing to make resolutions. Let me offer you a different solution. A WOTY.
WOTY = Word of the Year
A one-word “theme” for how you want your year to FEEL.
This is less overwhelming than setting specific goals. BUT yet still an effective way to give your year direction. One word can be a motivator and a guiding light to help you make decisions in all types of situations…food, fitness, and beyond.
How To Choose Your WOTY…
How do you want to feel? Pick a WOTY that represents that feeling. Don’t overthink it. Don’t judge the word. Do pick a word that EXCITES you.
IDEAS to get you started…
If you’re flailing around, choose focus. If you’re a self-criticizer, choose compassion. If you focus only on accomplishment & forgot to enjoy the process, choose pause. If you want to break free from calorie counting, choose freedom. If your perfection paralyzes you into inaction, choose best-ISH. If you have guilt-trips after you eat, choose relax. How do YOU want to FEEL in 2019…
