I like the idea of “Just Breathe”. Those words could definitely be helpful in all sorts of situations, especially as we are living through even more covid craziness! There is so much panic going around, it almost feels as contagious as the virus!

Don’t know what words I would choose. Some days it would be Just Breathe. Somehow throughout all this Covid craziness I feel like just remembering to breathe is super important. Thanks for the idea to focus on a word or two.

I go back and forth with my New Years rituals. Not sure how long I will do this exercise but it has kept me focused as I walk through my days this first week of January. Happy Nee Year to you too!

I used to do this exercise. Now I prefer to read about words others choose. Not sure what this says about me! Happy New Year and keep writing. x

I love your first word and eagerly wait to hear your other words.

I have also been seeking a way out of that busyness and intensity – evident in my three words too – https://feistybluegeckofightsback.wordpress.com/2022/01/01/welcoming-2022-with-three-little-words/
