Hello there, friend,
Isn't it funny how choosing a word at the beginning of the year, and holding onto it, can create so much in your life? I had no idea. For you, it's connection, and I can see as we walk through this year how that's impacting you over and over again. For me, it's fearless, a word that's directed many of my steps this year.
Surely, many people who choose a word at the beginning of the year let it go by now. I still feel deeply connected to my word; I know you do too.
A few weeks ago, I read something that has come to mind many times in the last few days: This is only as _________________ as you make it. Fill in the blank. This is only as big of a deal as you make it. This is only as difficult as you make it. This is only as silly as you make it. This is only as scary as you make it.
Now when I feel the fear and that little word fearless comes to push me wherever I need to go, I add that simple sentence: This is only as scary as I make it. It helps temper emotions that might otherwise boil over and spill all over my life. Who knew one little word and one little sentence could do that?
xo,
