It's not too late for a 3-word resolution

I know it’s February, and I also know that plenty of New Year Resolutions have gone by the wayside. It’s not too late to pick a theme for the year!

I like the idea of swapping out new year’s resolutions for “3 word resolution.” What are your three words for 2019? Here are mine:

 Wholeheartedness: There are times that I hold back because of fear, doubt, overwhelm, distraction, or any number of reasons. This year I’m in the middle of a reawakening; I am bringing to that the intention to play full out.

Structure: Every time I focus more I get more done. Guardrails and constraints set me free. Structure also brings effortlessness. When I put the train on the track it goes in the right direction and I can conserve my energy for being creative. I want to be a scholar of structure.

What would it look like if it were easy? I know it’s not a word, but a helpful orienting question to remind me not to over-complicate. This thought is the enemy of procrastination and over-thinking and is a close friend of fearlessness.

It’s not too late for you to pick your 3-word resolution! What words resonate with you to that will guide you this year? What will be a theme or two you want to carry with you this year?

Put your three words (or even one word!) into the comments below. I'd love to hear how you want to orient yourself for the next 11 months!
