My Word Of The Year For 2020

Each year I like to give myself a word for my focus. Something that represents what I want to focus on during the year. I quite like reading other people’s plus it gives me a chance to think about what I want out of the next twelve months. Although I set myself goals for the year, I like a focus word too.

 

2017 was self care, 2018 was focus and 2019 was simplify.

 

I have been thinking about what might happen this year. What things we might see, do and achieve. It’s always interesting to think about the next twelve months.

 

So, my word for 2020 is believe.

 

The main reason behind this one for 2020 is myself. I need to believe in myself that I can do the things I want to.

 

This links to many ares. Firstly, it means believing in this blog. I constantly compare myself to other UK bloggers and worry that it’s not good enough. Or I’m not good enough. That I don’t post enough, or engage enough. I need to believe that I still have the same belief in myself and my aims since the day I started. That the ultimate dream goal of ours will happen and that we might inspire others in the process. Ignoring page views and visitors because they’re not the only thing that measures worth when it comes to blogging.

 

It means believing that I can lose weight. This sounds daft but one of the main reasons why I’m not losing weight is because I don’t believe I can do it. How daft is that!? I need to trust that I can do it if I just focus. Yes the journey itself might be tricky and slow at times. But, I can do it if I believe I can.

 

Believing in the support of others in also important. I uploaded my first YouTube video last Wednesday of me talking to the camera. I have been planning on doing that for weeks but have been put off my the thought of someone saying something. However, the support and response that I have had from that video has been overwhelmingly supportive.

 

I also want to believe in the strategy I’ve got worked out. It might not be the best strategy ever. The plans I have might not even pan out. But, I need to believe that what I have put together for the next twelve months will end up being what I make it. I might not succeed in everything that I have aimed for, but I’m going to give it my best shot!

 

So, there’s my word of the year for 2020 – believe. I’m looking forward to what it brings.

 

Did you choose a word of the year for 2019? What did you choose? How are you going to implement that? I’d love to hear from you in the comments !
