#27 The 2021 Three Word Challenge
Dec 31, 2021
New Year’s Eve has always been one of my favorite holidays. I’ve never been a fan of big parties- so that isn’t what comes to mind when I think of the evening ahead. Spending time reflecting on the year with Brett, playing games and spending time with the dogs and horses is how I party- I love it.
2021 Three Word Challenge
-
Listing memories: This is a tradition that Brett and I discovered a few years back in 2018. It starts with brainstorming all of the memories we could think of from the year. I added an artsy twist to it by writing 2018 in big bubble letters (or I guess, bubble numbers in this example) on a white piece of paper and then I chose 3-4 colors to write the different memories inside the numbers. It ends up looking pretty cool. You could do the artsy version described above OR just list out the memories.
-
Choosing 3 words: Read through the list and then come up with 3 words that sum up the year for you. Why not skip step 1 and just come up with 3 words? I like the idea of doing this after you’ve brainstormed memories from the whole year because if we just think of 3 words- we might just think of what represents what’s happening right now- when you look back over the whole year- you might change the words you choose.
-
If you feel like sharing your 3 words, you can share these in our new FB Group (this is open for folks who are a part of A Learner's Journey newsletter. If you'd like to join the newsletter, here's a link http://eepurl.com/hHn9Zb. If you'd like to join the FB group, email me at [email protected] we'd LOVE to have you!)
-
If you want to take it one step further- look up one or more of your words in the dictionary and see if the definition resonates with you.
-
I hope you have fun with this- it’s been a meaningful way for me to close each year and a fun thing to do while I’m partying it up on New Year’s Eve 😂
My 3 words for 2021 are:
-
Allow (explained in last week’s podcast that you can check out here) Btw- I looked up the definition for this and liked it! Here it is: Give the necessary time or opportunity for.
-
Attention (I’ll be sharing more about this one in a couple of weeks)
-
Gratitude (this will also be a blog topic in the weeks ahead).
Happy New Year to you!! 💕
