I like having a focus, one word to inspire and keep me motivated for 2016.
My word for 2014 was 'better', I worked on my sewing skills and learned new techniques. 2015 was 'more', becoming more me and creating more happiness - I feel like I achieved that in most things and I will continue to maintain that happy mindfulness.
There is part of me that is very traditional (quite boring actually) - I like order, routine and being at home. I'm okay with that about myself, I function better when I have a schedule and to do lists! I am very domestic (my husband just said I am like a house cat, in a nice way) but it can cause me to get anxious about going out sometimes. It helps to see friends, get coffee, watch a film, have a date night. I would like to do more of that. There is a need for me to abandon restraints I place on myself and just have fun.

Maybe it's also small joys like stickers, dancing and using odd combinations of colours in my sewing - that is my way of cutting loose. It sounds so silly but it's the little things in life! I have so many responsibilities that just having five minutes of doing something fun and frivolous feels really good. Last night I couldn't sleep so I redesigned my blog header and thoroughly enjoyed it.
On New Year's Eve I created a vision board, laying out pictures and words on a huge piece of paper so everyday I can see my goals and work towards them. I want to aim high, taking steps to actually achieve my bigger dreams and not just dreaming about them.
I am happy being me; focused on positive things, being grateful and mindful. Though I would like to be a little bit more unexpected, perhaps even capricious, to inject more passion and energy into my life.
Every day, in everything I do, I want to do it with enthusiasm, so that is my word for 2016.
Wishing you all a joyful year!
I love your word! My word for 2016 is EXPLORE. I'm excited to try new things.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great word! I wish you all the best for this coming year.
ReplyDeleteI can see you having fun while you tackle 2016 with enthusiasm! (Love the new blog header!) Happy New Year x
ReplyDeleteThat is a great word for 2016. I often choose a word for the year, my first ever was Hope. I didn't have one last year but it should have been Change as 2015 saw some mighty change sin my life including going back to work after 19 years at home. I have decided that my word for this year will be Enjoy, I need to find time to enjoy more of life, especially now I am working so I will need to prioritise time for myself too. Happy 2016. x
ReplyDeleteSounds good! I hope 2016 will fulfil your dreams :) Fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm doing one little word for the first time this year and I'm so excited about it. I just signed up today to do the course as well to help keep me on track. I'm so goal orientated at the best of times that I think this will be right in my wheel house (goals and pretty paper supplies!). I love your word and I love your header! I can't wait to see you knock it out of the park in 2016!
ReplyDeleteExcellent word choice. Hope your new gusto helps you reach your goals!
ReplyDeleteI love your word and all the pictures you've shared. I hadn't thought of a word this year so I think I'll take inspiration from you and be enthusiastic too! Happy 2016 :)
