word of the year: ???

[ysobel]

I am not making New Year's resolutions this year. I am, instead, doing a Word for the year.

I haven't figured out quite what word to use yet, but I'm getting there.

Some possibilities I have been toying with:

- Play
- Glee/Joy/Enthusiasm
- Creativity
- Self-Love
- Forgiveness
- Release
- Awareness

...I should probably throw something in there about decisiveness. *wry grin*

note to self for when I decide I am useless: http://christinekane.com/blog/letting-go-of-all-or-nothing-thinking/ and http://christinekane.com/blog/how-to-get-anything-done/

I am also thinking about doing a vision board, except I don't have any magazines handy to use, and also dealing with physical stuff is an exercise in frustration. Maybe a digital one...

The "self love" part really called out to me, because it's a concept I have incredible trouble with and is pretty much at the core of all the things I don't like in my life. I don't like myself enough to deserve having a neat apartment, thus my rooms are cluttered with trash and I can't find anything. I don't deserve to be successful as a writer. I don't...the list goes on and on.

I'm thinking about bringing this in to show my therapist, and asking her her thoughts on the subject, but I have a feeling she'll say "If this works for you, and if you can make positive changes in your life by going from this, then do it!" I'll ask next week.

Really interesting reading, though.
