What’s Your Focus?

I’ve noticed many of my friends choosing an annual focus word which helps them manifest positive outcomes in their lives. I decided I would choose one this year, too.

So I pondered over individual words. Believe. Light. Hope. Joy. Love. They’re all powerful words, but none of the words felt quite right for me.

Then I saw a quote by Pema Chodron, which read, “Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions.” Inner peace, I thought. That feels ‘right.’

And so I choose the phrase Inner Peace for my 2018 focus. Here’s what inner peace means to me:

  • Avoiding the evening news
  • Being kind myself and other people
  • Choosing love over judgment
  • Focusing on peace of mind, serenity, and joy despite stressors
  • Speaking my truth
  • Surrendering to the present moment

Inner peace is something I can control and I believe my inner world will dramatically impact positively my outer one.

What’s your word for 2018 and how will you actively live it?

Namasté.
