I have replaced New Year’s resolutions with a theme word for the year. For 2012 my word is surrender.
Now I am not talking about giving up or waving the white flag, but surrendering to the opportunities presented to me. Working on controlling things less and going with the flow instead to see where that takes me.
What do you think about selecting a word versus making a resolution?
What word would you choose for yourself this year? Intrigued by the idea? A great website/resource to assist you through the process is http://myoneword.org/choose/.

Big step or little step? What matters most is taking the initial step.
In my recent post I talked about using the New Year as an opportunity for your next big step. What I realized as I was contemplating my next big step (I had work on that since I wrote about it) is that what type of step you take is not as important as just taking the step.
When you feel stuck or in a rut or not challenged just think about taking a step…any step. What will it take to give you forward momentum? Simply putting one foot in front of the other will carry you forward. Sometimes that just means reframing your thought about a situation. Or it means committing to something for five minutes.
