What word are you going to focus on for 2010

As Christmas draws near (and yes I'm pretty much ready for it) I start to think about my new word for 2010. Every year I pick a word and try to focus on that word through out the year. My first year I started this in 2007 I picked "Believe" then in 2008 I choose "Gratitude" and last year was in 2009 I choose, "Simplify". Why? Hey it would help me focus throughout the year. When I'd feel out of balance I would refocus on my word. I blogged about it every year so people would often ask me how I was doing with my intents on my word. Good way to keep me in check!

BELIEVE - was important to me that year because I was really focusing on getting my business up and running. I started in 2006, but the following year it really took off. I needed to believe in myself and those around me. I still go back to this word even this year. It has so many different meanings to me from believing in God to believing in myself and others... just BELIEVE.

GRATITUDE - I picked this because I realized I had so much to be thankful for in my life. Its filled with really great things/people/feelings. I still use that word. Every day I'm trying to write out at least 30 things I'm grateful for, from the little things to the big things!!!

SIMPLIFY - That is my word for 2009. Why? Because there is so much in my life I just need to simplify from work, house, diet... you name it.

In past years believe and gratitude where great words for me and really helped me focus and balance myself. This past year my word wasn't as strong for me. I will go into that more later, but I still okay with it.

That brings me to this year. 2010 to me feels like it is going to be a fantastic year. I can feel the success, opportunities, love, happiness when I think of the year ahead. I have not picked my new word yet, I'm still working on that one!!!

I have a challenge for you! Pick a word! Write it down somewhere that you will see it often in 2010 and focus on it! Make it part of your life!!! Its not January, you have time to think of this challenge! But if your going to play along leave a comment! Saying that, I'm leaving you with a list of words from Ali Edwards site last year. Pick from there or come up with your own!!
