Every single year for the past 9 years I've chosen a word-of-the-year. Instead of a goal that I either meet or fail (and let's be honest, most of the time it's a fail!), my word-of-the-year serves as a way to give myself gentle direction.
It's not about meeting a goal, but living my life in a way that nourishes me. Instead of setting a goal of going to the gym 3x a week, your word-of-the-year could be "movement", or "wellness", or "nourishment", or so many other words that encompass the real goal of feeling better in your body.
Your word allows for life to get in the way. It allows for things to go wrong. It allows for imperfection.
