Create a Word Theme for 2011
Choose a word for the year!
Can you believe it is 2011? Another decade has begun! While New Year's resolutions are very popular this time of year they are often forgotten by June and towards the end of the year suddenly remembered and a big rush to try and accomplish them or decide to forget them all together.
If you have or haven't created a list of resolutions, how about creating a theme for the year based on one word and see how it works compared to a list of resolutions.
Imagine starting this decade with a one word theme . . . interesting thought right?
Why create a one-word theme?
- It simplifies things
- Easier to remember
- Keeps you focused
In the past I have created an affirmation for the year and have done New Year's resolutions. However, when I read Mari Smith's blog post titled, "My One-Word Theme for 2011" I thought getting a one word theme for the year might be a perfect way to start this decade!
As I was thinking this idea over, I got a second confirmation that this was exactly what I needed to do for 2011. I read the same idea on my good friend Michelle Geoffroy's The Creative Healing Studio blog titled Welcome 2011.
As you can see I can't take credit for this idea, but I thought it was so wonderful that I had to share it with you just in case you wanted to try something new!
Steps to create your one word theme for 2011:
- Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
- Close your eyes.
- Ask yourself what word should be your theme for the year.
- Listen to yourself and see what word pops up for you.
- Go with the first word - you can repeat this several times to ensure the word that came up for you is the right word for you for 2011.

Have fun creating your one word theme for 2011!
