Hello, Dolls!
Can you believe it's 2022, and it's only two more weeks left in January? Time is moving along. I hope the year is starting off well for all of you.
Each year, I pick a word or phrase that I use as my own personal affirmation for the remainder of the year. Last year, it was unbothered. This year, I chose "rise above."
I chose rise above because life has it's share of uncertainties, drama, stress, negativity, anxiety and fear. A lot of times, my mind gets stuck in the spiral of dwelling on these events and emotions. I'm trying look past the negative, and to look for hope and positivity. I wanted a quick phrase to remind myself to shift my thinking from the negative cycle, and push forward...essentially, move on.
I can also be my own enemy, worst critic, and harshest judge. So, I feel that rise above is an appropriate statement for me to remind myself to get out of my own head and move forward. I'm slowly and surely working on improving my thought patterns.
I usually make a mental note to write down my word for the year next to my monthly goals. This year, I started bullet journaling! The first page of my journal is written in bold letters, "Rise Above!" Every time I use that journal, I'll see that reminder.
Do you have a word for 2022? Please share.
