A New Year’s Eve Letter: Seven Words to Wear

As we step into a new year, many of us feel the familiar pull toward resolutions, do more, fix this, and become better. But before adding anything to your life, I invite you to pause and consider something quieter and far more powerful:

How do you want to be as you move through this year?

Instead of goals that measure achievement, try an intention that reflects identity.

Seven Words for Your Higher Self

Choose seven words that describe your higher self, your best self, your most alive, conscious, and aligned version of you. These aren’t words you force or manufacture. They are remembered truths. Words that feel like home in your body.

Take a breath.
Let the words rise rather than be chosen.

My seven words are:

Amazing. Joyful. Sacred. Focused. Vibrational. Titillating. Vivacious.

I chose these words because they remind me of who I am. How deeply grateful I am for the opportunity to serve in my unique signature. They bring me home to reverence, vitality, and presence. They help me remember that how I show up matters just as much as what I do.

As you choose your words, write a few lines about why each one matters.
Why this word?
Why now?
What part of you does it protect, awaken, or liberate?

This practice isn’t about perfection.
It’s about orientation.

When life pulls you off-center (and it will), these seven words become your internal compass. They remind you who you are choosing to be before you react, before you abandon yourself, before you shrink or overextend.

Write your words somewhere visible.
In your journal.
On your mirror.
On a sticky note.
In your phone.

And when you finish, write this at the end:

WEAR IT!

Because these words aren’t just ideas.
They’re posture.
They’re energy.
They’re how you move through the world.

This coming year isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about fully being who you already are.
