Commitment. Yes, this is my #oneword2013 this year. About a month ago, I started seeing the posts on Twitter about #oneword2013 and knew that I should start thinking about mine, but was hoping that it would really come to me. When it hadn’t yet presented itself, I put it out to my Twitter friends to help me narrow down my #oneword2013. I got a few suggestions and was also told to be patient (yes, patience was a suggestion!). In the end, I continued to come back to one of the suggestions: commitment. Thank you, @bethmoriarity, for the suggestion!!!
In thinking about my oneword2013, I have really thought about the holistic purpose I would like for it to have. I also wanted to make sure I was able to revisit my oneword regularly, so I will find ways to incorporate my Oneword2013 and continue to come back to throughout the year. It is important to me that I follow through on my commitments this year, especially my own commitment to ME.
This year, I have a commitment to ME. As I reflected on the past year, I found that I was always giving of myself, which I will continue to do, but I need to learn to give back to myself,too, so I can continue to give to others. I look forward to being committed to each thing I do more, but being able to commit my attention to what is needed when it is needed and be present in meetings and in conversations.
This oneword2013 will really challenge me,but I’m looking forward to the challenge! I’m looking forward to the year ahead and making some improvements in my overall life. I look forward to the support I will receive, as I already have a pretty strong support system who continues to challenge and encourage me!
Happy New Year!
