My word this year is vitality! If it feels “dead,” then I’m not doing it. It’s a way of checking myself internally to assess what is worth my time & energy and what’s not. I deserve to engage in things that make me feel more alive & present - not numb or dissociative. 🫡☀️
Abundance was my word last year- it was a great one! More specifically coming up with my own definition of the word vs others versions. I think it has earned its cliche status positively :)
My word: intentional. I run around putting out fires, distracted by this and that, and ultimately, not doing anything well -- even worse, not doing what fills my soul and brings peace within me. So, before I act, my *goal* is to take a breath, step back, and give myself permission to act or not act. I'll be 50 in February. Just finished up an unexpected divorce. Time to put my own needs first INTENTIONALLY :)
My word is AWARENESS. I want to stay aware of myself and my behaviors. Aware of how I take care of myself or don’t, what I actually like and dislike, how I spend my time,and money, when I say yes when I need to say no and so on.
I turn 49 this year and this is so the generative energy for me also. I did a word of the year exercise for the first time on January 31 last year and my phrase for 206 is “sacred solitude”, which is really about clearing a bunch of space and time that is currently being hamstrung by obligations. Give me strength! Thanks for the AI hacks with HD, am off to do that now, in sacred solitude on a Sunday morning! (Winning).
Magnanimous is my word of the year. after a 2025 that was essentially one giant ego death, working towards the energy of the great (magna) soul (animus) of gentleness, empathy, and generosity feels like the path to rebalance :)
And HERE for your deeper dive into HD. The language and perspective it’s given me to view myself and others in my life has been one of the greatest gifts!
Compost - letting the past be what it is and become a part of my story but no longer the story.
Totally. Releasing our loved ones from obligation is an awesome gift, and one that typically comes back to us once given.
My word is FLOW. Like, find it, be it, keep it…dig it.

I'm 37 and haven't figured this out, despite trying, and trying, and trying. Perhaps it's time to stop torturing myself over it.
It feels right to work towards listening to myself, instead of moving away from prioritizing what others expect. Semantics, perhaps.
My word - cliche ahead - abundance.

Freedom is always on my top list, so I'll go with freedom to be myself!
NURTURE (me)
My word is commit (commit to self).
Ease 🌊
I really love this. My word for now is focus and I think some nice no's will fit in well with that, thank you for the reminder!

We don’t “owe” anyone anything, especially not at our own expense - an affirmation/reminder to myself :)
I’m 32 now and still working on the muscle of disappointing others so I won’t disappoint myself! Thanks for the reminder :)

Loved this so much! I just wrote about my word of the year, which is "begin": https://hannaheve.substack.com/p/begin
