I have searched and contemplated what my #OneWord or #ThreeWords would be for 2019. I had a long list that I considered and so I am going with three this year. I am going to follow my friend @JenniferHogan’s advice and hold myself accountable and reflect each month on my words and how I have worked to improve in these areas. Funny, I usually pick verbs but this year all three words are nouns.
I chose “Arena” because iI represents the spaces that I want to show up in this year both personally and professionally.
I want to be in spaces that I am not necessarily comfortable being in. Experiencing growth in any arena means surrounding myself with great people. I will be focusing on who is sitting in my support section. Brené Brown describes the “support section” as the people who have empathy for us and show us compassion. These same people give us the courage to try new things and are present when things are not comfortable. There is a lot of hard stuff to figure out and navigate through. New learning will remain a focus in the arenas that I spend my time in.

I chose moments after reading “The Power of Moments” by Dan and Chip Heath and how 4 elements have the power to transform a moment. Elevation, insight, pride and connection are elements that we can work through to make moments peak. There will be times this will be easy and there will be times that focusing on these elements will create a different experience than what might have been ordinary.
This word is one that my Dad would have loved that I am focusing on. It’s positive and uplifting to others as well. I will work towards creating, finding and sharing moments in 2019.

I chose faith because it is my commitment to be quiet, still and listen. I suppose it is the key to helping me put my other two words into action. I am guilty of getting busy and not stopping to spend time with God. I am my best when my faith is front and center.
It’s my hope that focusing on each of these areas and pausing each month to see how I am doing will lead to me being better. Wishing everyone the best in 2019! Here we go….
