Your Magenta Monday Magic.
Can you believe we’re almost ready to wrap up the first month of 2024? Hopefully, you’ve fully recovered from the holidays and have been able to spend some time reflecting on how you want your 2024 to look and feel.
Last week, I asked you to pick your word for the year. (If this felt like a tall order, you might still be trying on a couple of different words before settling on what feels best – but keep at it!)
Now that you have your word, this is where the rubber hits the road. A word is all well and good, but if it just remains on a post-it stuck to your computer, it won’t do you much good.
What does it look like to actually live your word, though? How do you make it come alive in your day-to-day life? 🧬
It’s up to you to MAKE it happen. That’s the very meaning of the word intention – to choose what you want more of and take action to get it.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi
In other words, if you want more love, be loving. If you want more connection, be a connector. If you want more peace, be peaceful. You get the idea.
If you’re not exactly clear on how to get started, here are a few tips that I think may help:
If you haven’t already, take your word – love, connection, joy, etc. – and create a mantra with it. You could say, ‘Today I choose to live with love’ or ‘Today I will seek out opportunities to experience joy.’
Speak your mantra every morning when you wake up.
Then, before you go to bed at night, think about your day and identify any moments where you created or experienced an opportunity to live your word. It could be the smallest thing, ‘Today I paused to watch kids laughing as they played on the swings,’ for example.
Be present throughout your days – look for all the different moments where you can experience your word. 🔎
Some days you will find it easy to see those moments, and on others, you might struggle to pick them out. Over time, as you get in the habit of looking for them, you may notice the opportunities to experience your words showing up more and more often.
Be compassionate and patient with yourself. This is a practice and a process that takes time.
Remember – it’s those small moments – the 1º shifts – that make the most difference over time. Keep at it – I’m excited to see what you create with your word of intention for 2024. 😎
