Week of January 9, 2022
Hello Ladies!
I hope you had the opportunity to read Mindy’s story. If not, please take a moment now to read it and comment.
BE LIKE WATER — Fit Chicks! Live (fitchickslive.com)
I am curious to know what’s on your mind as we enter the New Year? Did you set a new goal for the year? If so, please share it. Did you spend any time reflecting on 2021? What did you make progress on? What do you want to start again that maybe fell off?
I did spend time reflecting on 2021. Minus the pandemic, I had a pretty amazing year! I have also spent time thinking about forward movement/progress and growth. Staying engaged and tuned in to getting my exercise in and eating well, which includes consistently meal prepping, getting more vegetables into my life and drinking WATER – are a part of my life now. They are part of my value system. Does that mean I am perfect in executing on them 100% of the time? Absolutely not!! Does it mean that they are engrained in me enough that I will regroup and re-engage when I feel out of sorts or when the scale goes in the wrong direction? Absolutely it does!! After 5 years of working to have this lifestyle, this is just how it will be. It’s how I live. I expect there to be bumps in the road, yes. I also expect to be able to adjust for them, like I have in the past.
In Mindy’s story, she talked about not setting a New Year’s resolution or goal and instead she chose a single word to be her focus for the year. I’ve decided I am going to do this practice of choosing a single word for this year to focus on. I am doing this because it’s something I have not done before (i.e. trying new things). I am also doing this because I am curious to see what comes from my single word in 2022. I would love it if you would join me in selecting a word to focus on in 2022. I think it will be enlightening for all of us. Also, to me, everything is more fun and meaningful doing it with friends. You can share your word in the comments or with me via my personal email if you like. I’d love to hear from all of you.
Have a great week!

P.S.
How did I select my word? I told myself that I was going to select 1 word from a blog that I read today by Maria Shriver, that stuck out to me … that word was “knowing”. My word is “KNOWING.” I am looking forward to seeing what comes!
