\"\"<\/a>There’s a blog I started reading based on the recommendation of a friend. It’s a blog by Elise Blaha<\/a> and recently she reviewed her word for 2011, what that meant to her, and how that played out during her year.<\/p>\n

She then talked about her word for 2012 and linked to this article<\/a> to explain the process.<\/p>\n

I immediately fell in love with this idea.<\/p>\n

The concept is that you pick a word and you use that word to guide you through the year. \u00a0You can choose to focus on it each day or when you see fit.<\/p>\n

It’s meant to help guide you through the year and to also help you refocus or regroup when you feel a little lost or overwhelmed by life.<\/p>\n

It’s motivation through a word. \u00a0It’s a reminder of how you want to live this year.<\/p>\n

I think we can all benefit from this type of\u00a0guidance\u00a0to help us navigate our way through a year of life. \u00a0Sometimes we get frustrated. \u00a0Sometimes we get sad. \u00a0Sometimes we feel a bit disconnected from things. \u00a0Sometimes we feel like the goals we’ve set are too high. \u00a0Sometimes we fail.<\/p>\n

That’s life and that’s okay. \u00a0We shouldn’t let it discourage us and we should recognize it for what it is, a learning experience.<\/p>\n

I know that I can easily get distracted by things and let myself stray from goals I want to achieve. \u00a0I also tend to become easily overwhelmed by situations and instead of dealing with them, I’ll just retreat and hope everything works out on its own.<\/p>\n

This year I am not going to let that happen. \u00a0I have picked my word for 2012 to help guide me through the year.<\/p>\n

My word is Explore.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By having a word to turn to when I start to feel like I’m floundering a little bit is going to be very helpful to me. \u00a0Explore covers a lot of areas. \u00a0It will remind me to check out different ways to doing things. \u00a0To look at things from other perspectives.<\/p>\n

It will also be a reminder to get out of my comfort zone and try something new. \u00a0To embrace life fully and to always live in the moment.<\/p>\n

For 2012, I will be exploring.<\/p>\n
