The one word resolution.
It's that time of the year again. With New Year's just around the corner you might be one of those who are beginning to make a list of resolutions. You'll find that come January 2nd the line at the gym and at Weight Watchers is out the door. Fortunately, if you are still attending in March you'll have found the crowds to have thinned.
Maybe instead of a laundry list of resolutions which you'll probably end up breaking, you might want to consider a one word resolution. Actually, this is really more of a theme for the year. Words like change, adventure, transition or fun are all examples of using one idea to set the pace for your year.
Author Gretchen Rubin posted on her blog that her word was re-purpose. Her question is, "How can I make more of what I already have?" If resolutions usually end up being ignored, maybe it might be more productive and fun to choose a one word resolution and see how many ways you can keep it throughout the year.
I like Gretchen's idea of using a question to invite the one word resolution.
ReplyDeleteTrue, because it would make you more aware as you went through your year. One year my fellow teacher and I questioned why we did the things we had done year after year. It was one of the best years ever.
