Word of the Year

I’ve never done a word of the year before but I got the idea from one of many journal prompts from The Millennial Grind. I was then inspired by Calm&Collected to actually write about it. You should definitely give these blogs a look when you get a chance.

My word of the year is LIGHTHEARTED.

Lighthearted – (of a person or their behavior) cheerful and carefree.

No, I don’t want to be carefree in a way that I’m living a reckless lifestyle. I’m more than happy spending each day watching my little guy grow. I mean in a way that makes for a better and healthier lifestyle.

Last year and probably almost every year, I spent a good amount of time caring about what other people thought as well as made a lot of small things a big deal.

I try my hardest not to live with any regrets which I have been successful at but there are moments I look back on and wish I wasn’t angry or “in a mood” at the time.

Or things I wish I would’ve done because I wanted to and didn’t push it off because I was more worried about everyone else’s opinion but my own.

By being lighthearted, I believe I can really lower my stress levels. So far its felt like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This year we are valuing our precious time and energy.

Say it again for the people in the back!
