We respect your time.

This newsletter will take

4:03 minutes to read.

Grab a piece of paper and write down the months of the year. Then jot down one word for each month that reflects your intentions. Keep the list somewhere visible to inspire and guide you throughout the year.

Set Your Year with Intention:

A Word a Month

Starting the new year with purpose can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down month by month makes it achievable and fun. By choosing one word for each month, you create a simple, powerful intention that guides your focus and energy throughout the year.

These words serve as reminders of what matters most, helping you align your actions with your values and goals. For example, January’s word might be "Reset", inspiring a fresh start, while February’s word could be "Love", reminding you to nurture your relationships.

With 12 intentional words, you’ll have a clear path to stay motivated and mindful all year long.

Why Choose Monthly Words?

Flexibility: Life changes, and monthly words allow you to adapt your focus as needed.

Clarity: A single word distills your intentions, helping you stay focused without feeling overwhelmed.

Momentum: Each month brings a new opportunity to reflect and start fresh.

Keep your list somewhere visible, like in your planner or on your fridge, to revisit each month. A year of intention starts with just one word—what will yours be for January?
