Have you ever started the year with a to-do list longer than the credits of a Marvel movie, only to fizzle out by February? 🥴 You’re not alone. Somewhere between “work out every day” and “learn Mandarin,” life happens, and resolutions… don’t.
That’s why I swapped resolutions for a single Word of the Year (WOTY) seven years ago. It’s less about ticking boxes and more about setting a vibe for your year. Think of it as choosing the soundtrack for your life. 🎵
My WOTY Journey: A Yearly Playlist
Each WOTY I’ve chosen has been a chapter in my personal growth playlist:
2024: Abundance — Picture Oprah handing out blessings instead of cars: “You get abundance! And you get abundance!” This year, I expanded my mindset, welcomed growth, and multiplied joy like a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat.
2023: Manifestation — I didn’t just dream; I did. Manifestation was about making things happen—because vision boards don’t work unless you do.
2022: Upgrade — A total life reboot, from relationships to routines. I went from 2G to 5G living. 🚀
And now, drumroll please… 🥁
2025: UNSTOPPABLE
Why "Unstoppable"? Because I’m done with self-doubt, societal expectations, and Netflix asking, “Are you still watching?” YES, Netflix, I AM. And in 2025, I’m doing it all—no pauses, no limits.
Why Choose a WOTY?
1️⃣ It’s a North Star: Your WOTY guides decisions, big and small. It’s like having Google Maps for your life, except it doesn’t say “recalculating” when you hit a bump.
2️⃣ It’s Sustainable: Unlike resolutions, a single word doesn’t guilt-trip you into giving up chocolate or joining CrossFit. Instead, it grows with you throughout the year.
3️⃣ It’s Empowering: One word can turn “meh” days into meaningful ones. It’s a tiny mantra with massive energy.
The Analogy: Choosing a WOTY Is Like Packing for a Trip
Imagine you’re heading on a year-long adventure. You can only bring one carry-on. Your WOTY is that bag. It has to fit everything you need: inspiration, focus, and motivation. Overpack, and you’ll feel overwhelmed. Under-pack, and you’ll feel unprepared. But the right word? That’s your perfect travel buddy.
How to Pick Your WOTY
1️⃣ Reflect: What did last year teach you? What do you want this year to feel like?
2️⃣ Simplify: Resist the urge to overthink. If your WOTY were a celebrity, it should be more Beyoncé (iconic) and less Ross Geller (complicated).
3️⃣ Trust Your Gut: When the right word comes, you’ll know. It’s like love at first sight but without the awkward small talk.
Let’s Talk About Being Unstoppable in 2025
Choosing “Unstoppable” isn’t just about running marathons or launching businesses. It’s about showing up, even when life feels like a toddler having a meltdown in Target. It’s about saying, “I’ve got this,” no matter what.
When you’re unstoppable, you:
Turn failures into stepping stones.
Find joy in the grind.
Inspire others to believe in themselves, too.
Your Turn!
If you could choose one word to shape your 2025, what would it be? Maybe it’s “Courage,” “Joy,” or “Balance.” Whatever it is, let it guide you like a lighthouse on a stormy night—or at least like Waze during rush hour.
Signoff:
Here’s to a year of intention, growth, and being unstoppable—because 2025 is OUR year to shine. 🌟
