this year I am focusing on the word...

Jan 29, 2024

Picking a word for the year helps me set an intention and tone for the new year. It gives me something to meditate on. It’s a ritual I enjoy a lot. Speaking of ritual…

This year my word is RITUAL. I’m curious to examine the differences & similarities between:

RITUAL

HABIT

ROUTINE

PRACTICE

My goal is to share some of my favorite rituals with you this year. I’ve captured a few of them so far.

Doing a weekly tarot card pull is one of my spiritual practices on my Sunday To-Do list. I’ve been pulling 3-4 cards weekly for about 4 years now. It’s been a fun way to study the tarot! I like to think of pulling cards like reading a horoscope. It’s a practice that takes about 15 minutes of my time and grounds me for the week ahead. It gives me something to think about while I figure out my intentions for the week.

It's my first time using the Currently workbook, and I've been struggling with my word of the year. I'm thankful for this post from you to encourage me to settle it. The reason I've been struggling is that I need to push back on the word I can't seem to shake: "Dread" ... So, I looked up some antonyms and I think I've settled on Courage.
