What's Your Word? How to Choose a Word of the Year
I've mentioned before that I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions. They are shiny, bright objects that fill us with enthusiasm at the beginning of the year and quickly lose their sparkle once the newness wears off. That's why I like to encourage people to choose a word of the year, rather than making a bunch of resolutions. In this episode, I talk about choosing a word, how that word will guide your decisions throughout the coming year, how optimism helps us achieve our goals, and how we can "train" optimism. At the end of the episode, I share three fun ideas for personal or family projects that you can use to develop optimism.

If you're listening to this / reading this through the holiday season, or if you've been following along with some of the episodes I've done related to journaling, you might find the following journal prompts helpful:
- What were your best moments of 2018?
- What are you most thankful for this year?
- If you had a theme song, what would it be?
- If you had to come up with a #hashtag to describe your life, or who you want to be in the new year, what would it be?
- Write yourself a letter dated December 31, 2019- describing the highlights of your year (writing a letter to your future self about the year you're about to have).
