Since 2017 I have been big on themes for the year. They usually set the tone for my year even if I forget halfway through. I am certain that this is because speaking into existence your intentions is immensely powerful.
This can be both positive and negative depending on how you look at it. Say for instance you constantly say negative over your body, your situation or even how you are feeling. Your negative energy is being spoken to the Universe as if it is a truth, which it isn’t. The way we speak to ourselves and about ourselves is something that we need to become more cognitive of as the impacts are beyond powerful and telling. It gives others leeway to talk to you in a similar manner. More impactful than that for me though is how those same words that I have spoken negatively about myself come to haunt me at the oddest time of the day. A silly example of this is how I don’t wear jeans. Primarily because I don’t like pants and then finding the perfect jean is not a hunt that interests me in the slightest. Instead of saying this though, I have found myself saying that I don’t look good in jeans. I have said this statement so often that I have come to believe it. I have actively spoken this untruth and negative energy so many times to myself and others that I have come to believe it. I say that it is an untruth because I genuinely don’t look awful in jeans. I just don’t have the patience for them. I enjoy my crop tops and high waisted skirts. This silly example goes to how we speak about ourselves. Which is why speaking positive words is not a luxury but a necessity. It is not an act of been self-absorbed or vain but a manner to guide our path on a positive trajectory. Having had said this, 2020 seems to be a year that everything will be whole given that the number 2020 seems so perfect. My word for the year is self-reflection. I am taking this year to actively seek out becoming more whole than I have been. I am doing the work by taking chances on things that I want. I am doing the work by saying no to things that do not make me happy. I am doing the work by spending time and money on myself and not feeling guilty about it. I am doing the work by constantly reflecting and making sure that I am okay. What is your word for the year? Or perhaps you have a whole sentence? Do share!
