What will be your 2025 word of the year?   If you have not heard this idea it is circulating across social media as a replacement for resolutions that do not work.   By choosing a word of the year that resonates with you and focusing on this throughout 2025, it helps you to determine what is important to you.

You can choose your word by understanding your values and intentions and your goals for the upcoming year.   Your word of the year can be one that inspires you to grow and stretch yourself or it can help you to guide your decision making.   Pick a word that resonates with you and not simply one that is “popular”.

When choosing a word of the year you are not expecting a specific outcome as you would with a resolution, but you are choosing a word that is in alignment with your values, your mindset and your goals.
