How many of us start the new year with a million goals and a go-getter attitude? Only to slowly drop off as the year progresses. We all see it time and time again as overwhelm and old habits sneak in. With resolutions that may only last a few weeks it can leave you dissatisfied with the year so far. That’s why at Impact every single one of our team members uses the “One Little Word” exercise. This is an easy and efficient way to start making those shifts you want to see implemented in the new year.
Lets dive deeper into how this works! We are going to help you choose a word that resonates with you and your goals for the coming new year. Something that you want to embody and can relate to everything you do from work, workouts and even relationships. Here is how to start! Below is a list of words to get your creative juices flowing. You can either read them by yourself or click this link to our podcast where we will read them out loud to you and go into the exercise on a deeper level. As you’re going through the list write down any words that resonate with you. After you have gone through them all, try and get your list down to 3 top options. If you are still struggling to pick out one, take a deep breath and repeat each word out loud 3 times. Notice which one you smile at, which one your body has a reaction to or which one just instinctively feels right. You officially have your word, congrats! Now you can go into your new year in a manageable but very effective way in order to start hitting goals and making transitions!
