Happy New Year! How is yours going so far? We are wrapping up the first quarter of the year and here I am rolling in, right on time to align with my New Year and maybe a few additional bonus weeks to boot. I have started 2026 with a bang and look forward to keeping it up allll year long!
I have seen so many of you sharing your intentions or words of the year. I would love to know where you all come up with your words? Are you on the lookout all year? Does it come to you right before the ball drops? How have your previous words played out for you?
I know it may seem a little cliche to pick a work every year, but I think setting an intention for what you want in your life is never a cliche. It helps set the tone for you: how you will show up, how you will live each day, how you will keep yourself on task. All of these are very difficult because with all best intentions can become all things lost.
Ever heard of "National Quitters Day" being January 17th for when we begin to bail on our new years resolutions? And by the 2nd week in February, almost 80% of us are over it. This includes that "word" we designate for the year.
Maybe it isn't a word for you, maybe it is something else. How are you keeping the fire alive all year around? My word and intention for the year is "INPUTS." All day every day, I am exposed to inputs. Television, news, books, music, prayer, podcasts, conversations, social media, articles, friends, family, peers - the list is endless.
The average human may process 34 GB of information a day or 100,000 words or roughly 2 books or spending an average 11.8 hours consuming information across all channels.
This is why I chose my word. If I am absorbing all this information during the day, I need to make sure I am choosing quality inputs. I am going to decrease the doom scroll, be mindful of negativity (but still being aware of what is happening around me), choose quality sources from people I admire, and finally, surround myself with people who lift me up, not bring me down.
Share with me your word and let's start maximizing each other's inputs.
