Quite Whimsical

WORD OF THE YEAR 2021

By Leave a Comment

To say I was feeling cautious about choosing my word of the year for 2021 would be a big understatement.

I’m not going to put pressure on myself to somehow be perfect in the shadow of a pandemic. I do, however, want to put my mind to use.

I chose FLOW because I want to be in the moment more, to let go of any false sense of control and to let myself do the things that I find interesting without it needing a certain outcome or quality that I might not be able to achieve.

To create for the joy of creating and figuring out the rest later.

My Word of the Year for 2019

By Leave a Comment

This past year has been about finding a new sense of normalcy after two very tumultuous years before it. I moved in with my boyfriend, enrolled in a paralegal course, got on medication for my anxiety and just last month quit my previous job. I’m ending the year of “Nourish” much less fragile than I was at the beginning, and so grateful for the life I have.

So, what word did I choose for 2019? While I had a short list, this one was at the top and stayed that way. Sometimes the word comes easy, other years you have to dig. My word for 2019 will be TRUST.

 

 

If you have ever learned about Chakra’s, the root chakra is about trusting yourself, that the universe will take care of you and that things will be okay. As a person who is anxious the majority of the time, I know this is where I need work. If Chakras aren’t your thing, it comes down to the fact that a lot of my energy goes into worrying and attempting to control life to avoid bad things happening.

So, I will Trust. The universe and myself and that everything will be okay.
