P.S.: We moved to a better place, you can read this post in our new home.
Back in November I shared a little bit about my one little word project also known as OLW and how my life was affected by my word. Today I am here to share my word choice for 2015. I don't believe I have much to share this time since all the reflection made in getting real post was the prompt to my choice.
The word I chose for 2015 was REAL. If you read the getting real post, you must understand why - not very creative, but totally meaningful.
WHAT REAL MEANS TO ME?
Real is about embracing all my decisions with no fear. I am in between jobs now, I decided to quit my job as a coordinator at a language school to be able to dedicate more to my creative business which is my passion. I've been reading and learning a lot about having an online creative business and I know I have so much to learn and grow and I'll be able to do it only if I have no fear.
Real is about spending time on myself, taking care of my health, body and soul. Something I've been procrastinating for so long. I want to grow our family and for that I need to be thinner and more prepared.
Real is about finding my own voice instead of trying to be part of every group or project I see. Well, I feel like trying so many things, but I end up not doing anything because everything is too much. Finding projects that fit my personality and express my own voice will get me more motivated to accomplish and accomplishment is such a great feeling.
Real is about finishing projects and classes I have started once and truly benefit from them..
Real is about living the stories I want to tell because scrapbooking can only be when there's a story to tell. I must be present at the moment, enjoy it otherwise I won't have anything to tell.
Real is about spending great time with my family everyday and not only on special occasions. Listening to my loved husband and daughter, giving love to my dog and plants, too. Be more present at home.
Real is about having a shorter to-do list at a time so I don't feel overwhelmed before starting and then I can see things done. In an year term there will be a lot done.
I like to have a layout to make my OWL more visual. I'll print it and hang on my wall over my work station to remember it everyday.

- QUESTION FOR YOU -
Do you take part in the OLW project? Have you already chosen your word for 2015? if so, share it with us and what it means to you.
Toasting you Dani - here's to keeping it real in 2015 and beyond! Love your word!
ReplyDeleteI chose 3 for this year, that really are entertwining for me: Focus Consistency Creativity.
I can relate to your wordsm too. I have so many unfinished projects - focus and consistency may help. I hope they work for you. I tried 2 words last year since I couldn't decide and I ended up giving up on one. hehe
DeleteI just finished reading your previous and this post about your OLW and all I can say is "How did you get in my head?" You've managed to put into words all of my thoughts. I haven't been able to pick one word because I'm a bit of a perfectionist(and a procrastinating one at that). And well to be completely honest I'm a bit afraid that if I pick one I'll actually have to do something. Or that I will and it won't work out. Logically I know that's crazy talk. Words that keep coming to my mind are fear and stuck. As I think about a word comes to mind - action. Hmmm....
ReplyDeleteLori, perfection leads to procrastination. Something I heard and I keep to myself is done is beter than perfectly done. I totally understand the fear that makes us stuck. Take advantage of the new year fresh atmosphere and choose your word. Action is a good one and not difficult because action is everything you do, anything you do, small or big. Small steps take you to the big ones because it's addicting. Com join me!
