Pick Multiple Words of The Year!
It is that time of the year again…yes…it is the “find your word of the year” time!
Every year about this time I think about choosing a word to help guide me for the new year. I think one word can help me define my year and goals based on what I want to achieve.
Now with that being said, and being the Aries girl that I am, I find it hard to pick one word.
So as I did last year, I am going to be choosing a few words to strategically work with in 2025.
I believe this will help me stay focused on myself and allow me to have some flexibility too as opportunities arise in my businesses.
My words this year are: Focus, Remove, Experiences, Coaching, Leverage, and Monetize

How I Chose My Words
A few things came into play regarding choosing my words for 2025! It was a mixed bag of sorts including hard reflection of the last 3 years.
This past year was challenging in the real estate world, with interest rates being higher than years past, buyers and sellers waiting to make moves, and condo chaos due to ridiculous assessments due to deferred maintenance issues in South Florida, and more, thus, many Realtors including myself had to be open to pivot, open new ways of doing business, new rules and at the same time, exciting opportunities and planting of seeds!
Like many of you, health and wellness are really on my mind regarding anti-aging, wellness, and mental health. As a woman over 60, I realized I needed to be purposeful regarding my daily health routine and daily routine.
So, moving forward, I am doing a reset for my health, business, and personal life. I have joined a 10-person health and wellness accountability group. I highly suggest you start one and invite some friends to it.
We are tracking steps, water, diet, sleep, additional exercise, sugar, and alcohol. One week in, I can assure you, I am sleeping better, moving way more than in the last 3 years (yes you read that right), and eating more intentionally.
Check out a few tracking devices I have been researching to track all of this since my phone is pretty good for tracking movement but I need something to track so much more especially my sleep! Wow, in just a week I have gone from terrible sleeping habits to at least 7 hours of sleep, somewhat uninterruped. One big habit change…my phone is not as close to me and if I wake up, I DO NOT grab my phone, I roll over and force myself to go back to sleep. (I know some of you totally get this).
I traveled almost exclusively for business in 2024, other than a few long weekends in the Florida Keys or Pittsburgh to visit my daughter and her husband, I did not plan appropriately to travel simply to unwind and rejuvenate.
Work balance, self care, and travel all play into each other regarding scheduling a daycation or weekend away each month where I am traveling for pleasure or adding a day of relaxing to a business trip.

Manifest Your Best 2025
What I am seeing is a common theme of “I’ve done a ton of planting seeds and now I need to launch and tie up loose ends” or, my current business or occupation is not going to survive or has been eliminated, what is my next career chapter?
I see words like. change, downsize, simplify, convert, monetize, grow, collaborate, invest, money and focus. As someone who is over 60 now, I am thinking about this third chapter I am in and what I see for the next 5 – 10+ years.
Finding a Great Planner
So along with choosing a word or words for 2025 think about adding a planner or journal to complement your online calendar. I like to write thoughts down and not always in my “notes” section on my phone or Trello.
Celebrate The Feeling Of Newness
There is nothing like cracking open a new book or opening up a beautiful bottle of champagne or smelling a new bloom on a rose bush to make you feel inspired, hopeful, and filled with joy… like a glittering New Year ahead of you …your future is filled with opportunity and success!
Word Of The Year Tips
So in the spirit of choosing a word (s) of the year here are 7 tips to help you manifest and showcase the best word or words for you!
1. Reflect on what you imagine your New Year and 2025 looks like and what words embrace that vision.
2. Look for inspiration from movies, quotes, the written word, and other areas in your life to help you narrow down your choice or choices.
3. Think about what brings you joy, growth, happiness and energy!
4. Meditate or have some quiet time to see what words bubble up.
5. What do you want more or less of this coming year?
6. Make sure you write down your word (s) and post them where you can see them!
7. Where to write them you may be asking? How about on sticky notes, a few pretty note cards, or write that word on your bathroom mirror with your favorite lipstick… yes, I have been known to do that with my MAC St. Germain lipstick!
8. Make sure to share with someone you trust or your special crew to keep you accountable and frankly to put out into the universe!
