What is a word of the year? This is one word that will be an action that we can use to live our lives. A mantra or motto if you want to call it that. It is a word that should be at the base all of your choices and decisions you make.
I have a YouTube channel that I started this year and I was invited to participate in a collaboration where a handful of us create a video on the same subject. I was asked by "Trials of a Long Haired Girl" .....who ironically enough, I have followed her blog for a while also. You can check out her blog here. I was so excited to participate in this collab. You see, I have done this during previous years. But it was always as an afterthought.....usually in January when the year had already started! It was usually done in a spur of the moment decision with little or not thought into my actual word. Of course with that lack of thought you can guess what happened to the word of the year.....it was long forgotten as soon as I hit the publish button on the post!
This was different. I was going to have to get in front of a camera and talk about my word! I was going to then come here and write about it. I was going to have to really think about this word! And I did think and ponder my word choice! I came up with the perfect word too! I came up with the word Committed!
No....I"m not being committed to a mental institute...although sometimes I may qualify! hahahah Committed...this is what I want to be! I have such amazing ideas, goals and dreams in life. But they all take work. They all take a certain high level of commitment in order to be a success! This is the year that I am going to be committed!
Some of the areas that I am especially committed to?
* Of course my weight loss! I am committed to getting this weight off this year!
* My fitness. I am committed to becoming a kick butt mountain biker!
* This blog. I am committed to posting regularly....to continue to chronicle my life on this format. I am almost to 14 years of posting....and that is amazing!
* I have a book that is 95% written. I am committed to finishing it. I am committed to getting it published. (most likely self published....but that is A-OK with me!)
* I am committed to my youtube channel.
I am committed to making me the best version of me that I can be!
If you want to see my video....here it is!
I encourage everyone to sit back and think about what they want their new year to hold. And chose an action word that will help you be that person that you want to be at the end of the year! But for me.....I am going to be committed!
