One Word for New Year is the latest twist on a New Year’s Resolution and we love it
Forget the age-old tradition of setting New Year’s resolutions only to fail them, people in 2024 are leaning toward the One Word challenge, and it seems it can have a profound impact on your life.
The first week of the first month is coming to an end already and we are sure plenty of you are struggling to focus on your New Year’s resolutions. Previously, we showed you how to beat the January blues while decluttering your personal space in a few simple steps. Now, it’s time to learn about the power of one single word that can change your life.
What is the One Word for New Year challenge?
One Word for the New Year challenge requires you to pick one word or phrase to look back at throughout 2024 and use it as the motivation to achieve all your dreams and goals.
For instance, you may have big dreams of buying a new house or something as simple as learning to paint on canvas. Irrespective of the nature of your goals, you can pick one word, such as “Focus”, that’s important to achieve either.
My word for 2024 is relax. So whenever I am faced with challenges and find it hard to move forward, I remind myself to relax and get on with life.
The One Word challenge is also spiritual. It works similarly to any manifestation method, where you ask the universe to make your wishes come true; a single powerful word and the investment of energy and focus in it can have a similar impact.
To think of it, the New Year trend built around one word is easier to keep up with and use as a motivation for anything you wish to achieve. Isn’t it better than a long list of resolutions? It isn’t surprising that a lot of social media users are ditching the traditional methods for this.
