My “Word of the Year” Printable


Every year I’ve watched as January rolls around and friends and family call out their word of the year to give them focus and direction for the New Year. Rather than spit out a list of goals, you can simplify and find one word that will inspire, motivate, and uplift you for what you’re hoping to achieve or focus on for the new year.

I have found that to really make a change, you need constant reminders – something you can see daily. With that in mind, I’m sharing this cute printable, My Word of the Year!

You can print, frame, and then use a dry erase marker to fill in the blank with your inspirational word for the year. Best of all, you can reuse the printable year after year.

I find that setting a specific goal and not making it too complicated makes it easier to keep on your mind and evaluate your progress through the year.

  2. I love this printable! So beautiful and a great purpose! (BTW: the word of the year is “Growth”). Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday this week!

  3. Hi Janel, I found your blog on Rose Mary Lane this morning. Great blog and love your post, my word for this year is “Steadfast”, maybe slow like a turtle, and hopefully moving forward with new challenges and goals!

    I would like to invite you to share your post on my Friday Features over at Oh My Heartsie Girl. We are a weekly linkup with lots of fun blogs that share each week.

    Hope to see you there!!

  4. Oh I love this! I just started making flashcards of words to put on the fridge for the kids but this is a much better and easier idea!

  5. I’ve been doing this for a couple of years now and it’s amazing how powerful it can be. I don’t use just one word, though. It’s more of a theme. Other themes I had before were “invest in experience” and “beautiful.” In 2016, my theme is “Love well.”
