Chapter 1: The Power of Words

Focusing on a specific word or phrase can serve as a powerful tool in pursuing our aspirations or simply navigating through daily challenges.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Roland Denzel, a gifted writer, for many years. He runs an excellent website known as The Indestructible Author, which provides invaluable insights and tips for writers seeking to achieve their objectives while maintaining their well-being—mentally, physically, and emotionally. If you write, I highly recommend checking it out.

Recently, Roland posed a question in his Facebook group: did his followers have a "Word of the Year" for 2024? At that moment, he was considering "relaunch" as his guiding word for the new year.

I found it intriguing to read the responses from his audience. Some of the words they chose included:

• determined
• completion
• nurture
• endurance

Before this, I had never thought about adopting a Word of the Year. However, I have embraced a few phrases that have become my consistent mantras over the years:

• Be here now
• Keep moving forward

Both phrases have provided immense support during challenging times and while striving for specific goals.

While I plan to continue using these phrases in the upcoming year (and likely for many years to come), I also intend to incorporate two new Words of the Year:

• Believe
• Confidence

Having often faced challenges with self-esteem, I believe these words will be empowering reminders to trust in myself.

So, what about you?

Do you have any words or phrases you intend to adopt in 2024 as motivational reminders or sources of inspiration?

If you do, please share them in the comments! I would love to discover them.

Who knows? I might find inspiration in your words and add them to my collection of affirmations.

Wishing you all a fantastic 2024! May the new year bring you joy and success.
