A
friend of mine posted her one word for the year 2013. I was intrigued by the thought one word could capture the essence for a whole year. It seemed to fit for the
life changes I am undergoing at this time. So I wanted to know more.
From the One Word website: "If you’re like most people, each January
goes something like this: You choose a problematic behavior that has
plagued you for years and vow to reverse it. In fact, you can probably
think of two or three undesirable habits—make that four or five. Thus
begins the litany of imperfections to be perfected commonly known as
“New Year’s Resolutions.” All of which are typically off your radar by
February.
“My One Word” is an experiment designed to move you
beyond this cycle. The challenge is simple: lose the long list of
changes you want to make this year and instead pick ONE WORD. This process provides clarity by taking all your big plans for life
change and narrowing them down into a single focus. Just one word that
centers on your character and creates a vision for your future."
My one word came to me easily...... simplify. In fact the
transformation has already begun.
Here is what vocabulary.com had to say
about simplify.
To simplify something is to make it less complex and easier to understand. When you simplify, you make things clearer. Since simple things have less parts or complexity, when you simplify,
you're eliminating the clutter and reducing something to its essence.
I have been completely focused on moving to the RV. What I'm realizing is, it's really about simplifying my life and world. It doesn't matter how far I travel or when. It is about being peaceful in my world this one day. I crave a simple world.
Bingo..... Simplify it is!! What would your word be???
