Your Word for 2021

[AARPRachelA]

Often times, resolutions are difficult to keep. We then feel guilty about not being able to keep them. This cycle of setting goals and then feeling disappointed in ourselves if/when we don't achieve them isn't healthy. 

2020 was one of the most challenging years for so many of us. We lost so much, but as I reflected on the past year, the word that kept coming to my mind was "resilient." Humans are remarkable creatures, and our ability to bounce back is a quality I admire.

After some reflection on 2020, I set my sights on 2021. What word did I want to bring with me into the new year? What was my desire for myself in the year ahead? I did some journaling, and I landed on the word "worthy."

Good Morning, Rachel!

I couldn't help but wonder about your word "worthy."  Was that in reference to feeling that way about yourself?  Others?   Just curious, if you care to reply.   Thanks!   😀

Hi Rosemary! The word was at first a reflection on myself and the work I've been doing to heal from trauma, but as I reflected on it I was also struck by how the word can be used in regards to others. Especially after a year where so many inequities were brought to the light for many of us 💜
