2023 Word of the Year: Align

I've finally chosen my word for this year and I'm so excited about it!

For the past few years, I've been developing a vision of how I want to show up in the world, in my writing, in my communities, and in all the roles I exist in. It evolves with every day and that’s okay.
But...but, I keep distracted by shiny things shouted about by shiny people who have different goals, different visions and altogether different lives.

Let’s not forget the most important of all - different brains and different bodies.

For years, I’ve tried to implement blueprints for writing that don’t match how my brain is wired or how my body operates within certain parameters. Square peg in a round hole anyone?

With the help of Becca Syme @betterfasteracademy for understanding my strengths and how to apply them to writing, to my own ongoing journey with building mindfulness and awareness every step of the way, I’ve made good progress on aligning my words and actions to fit the vision I have for my life.

To be fully me in a world that has so many rules and restrictions and expectations and caveats, for me, is true alignment.

And what I love most about this word is that I can apply it to every important area of my life:

To relationships and working out and career and health and so on… and it’s a gentle but clear course corrector when I’m drifting off towards someone else’s goals and systems. Towards stuff - physical and emotional, I really don’t want in my life. Towards issues and people that muddy up my mental space.

Have you chosen a word of the year? Do you, usually? Please share yours.
