One Little Word 2014 is FINISH

This is my third year taking part in One Little Word with Ali Edwards. In the past, my words were focus and choose and I am happy to add FINISH to the list of words this year.

I decided to go with the word finish because somewhere along the way I became lazy with every area of my life. I would start projects and not finish them. I would say I was going to do something and then never do it. I even wrote posts on my blog declaring my goals and then letting myself down. 

At the end of 2013, I was tired of being lazy and tired of having half finished projects all around our house. On one of our many road trips, I told my husband that I was going to finish everything I started in 2014 and then it hit me that finish should be my word. It will BE the word to carry me through 2014. 

What would it feel like to reach the finish line?

pretty damn good! 

What would it sound like to finish?

One Little Word (Update)

I am happy to say that I have been keeping up with all my goals this month! In case you missed this week's daily blog posts... follow these links to Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

(See Sunday's post below...) 

I started off this year motivated and excited about my One Little Word, "Choose," but as the year went on, I began to lose focus on my one-word mantra. When September came around, my word "Choose" started to surface again. I was thinking about it everyday. I wanted to find a way to bring my word into my everyday life, so I revisited Ali Edwards' "One Little Word" class and printed out all the handouts and sat down and read them all over again. Since then, I have decided to start with the prompts from the OLW classes for June and work my way to September and then loop back around and work on the beginning of the year.

I have to admit, I was getting a little frustrated... (which is kind of the opposite effect this project is supposed to have), but I took a breath and, again, went through all the "One Little Word" handouts and came up with a plan! 

The PLAN: I took a mix of January's and July's prompts and put them together for this idea...

Each week (starting Mondays) on the blog there will be a new series called "Weekly Intentions." In this post, I will share seven daily intentions I have for the week that incorporate my One Little Word. It will look something like this:

Monday: I choose Love 

Tuesday: I choose Laughter 

Wednesday: I choose Family

Etc., Etc. 

Each day I will write my daily intention on a post-it and carry it around with me as a reminder. I would also like to take some time at the end of the day to reflect on my intention and write a little something on the post-it about the day and how my word came into play.
