Happy New Year and all of that!
Resolutions are soooo 1990s. Yeah, I said it. Screw it. Join the cool kids and pick one word that becomes your INTENTION, your personal COMMITMENT to yourself for the year.
We’re nine days into 2019 and I FINALLY picked thee word that’ll be my compass, my guiding light, if you will, for the next 356 days. I know, I know. A year has 365 days. But we’ve already logged a few days for the history books and 45 is still has the government in a headlock like a bully on the playground. So I needed to exhale and get my mind right.
I didn’t feel the need to rush into narrowing my year down to one word because I was still trying to process 2018 and all the dope ish that happened—like appearing four times on Cheddar (the post-cable news, media and entertainment company)—to talk about entertainment and producing three videos for TIDAL. (In the past I would document all the things that went WRONG that year.)
Of course there were moments that sucked ass, but I chose not to bring that energy into the mix as I set my intention for 2019 (that’s oil and water, ya know). Annnnd Erykah Badu told me that I was gonna hurt my back dragging all dem bags like that. (Sing it with me: all you must hold onto is you, is you, is youuuu…so pack light.)
Remember this, all words and intention come down to change. And John Assarf, the guy behind that achieve more movement says,”Change is possible, but it requires focus.”
Watch the clip below to see how I picked my word. Short on time and wanna see how chose I my word? Skip to the 11:05 mark. FYI: It’s a four step process that starts with me looking at all of the images and videos in my phone (and some I made all cute and whatever for IG), which if you think about it is a visual diary for the year that was.
Hey ladybird! Thx so much for doing this. I chose my one word before the year ended because I know without a shadow of a doubt that the one thing I need to do is, exercise more COURAGE…..I allow fear to stop me from so many things and it’s getting really old. And guess what? I’m not getting any younger…… I also realize that being courageous can be a daily act. It does not have to be this big production. That said, I’m going to exercise courage in my professional life, in my family relationships and friendships, by taking creative risks and by setting healthier boundaries. Happy New Year sis!!!!
