I discussed this topic back in December when working on selecting a word for the coming year, reading over posts by others about how they selected one which spoke to a particular journey, defined certain business goals or perhaps resonated with a personal mission. Here's an article which describes the process as settling on "A single word that encapsulates what you need more of, what you want to focus on, or what you need to improve on". See Word Of The Year Ideas For A Better 2021.
There is most definitely a correlation between positive reinforcement and our outlook on life. Subtle cues such as phrases or statements have been proven to stimulate and encourage not only good vibes, but also a mindset of enthusiasm and focus. In this post I've included a list of some of my favorites and will be updating it throughout the year.
