What's your ONE WORD?

What's your ONE WORD for 2026?
Hello Dear Ones and happy New Year to you! I trust my words find you well upon this day, a brand new start!
Since my first job as a regional educator with Matrix Essentials in 1994, I've been crafting a word for the year. This one thread thought of intention keeps me aligned throughout the year. I write it on a post-it or create an image and invite my coaching clients to craft their one word too.
LIFT represents upward movement. For me in 2026, LIFT invites actions that support brilliance and full expression. If it doesn't support LIFT, I'll need to investigate ... is it holding me down? To be LIFT(ed) is also to let go. What a stellar word!
What's your ONE WORD?
Think of your ONE word as one single thread from which all the year suspends. It represents your mindset; a combination of values, integrity, goals and desire to show up in a way that feels good, aligning with what really truly matters to you now.
Check in with yourself... what's the feeling you need/want more of this year? It's subtle. Listen deeply for clues to what you honestly need more of. That's your one word!
Put your word where you can see daily. Challenge yourself to say "YES" to things and people that help you stay aligned, and "NO" to what doesn't. You don't need to have everything perfect. Stay in alignment with what matters most to you.
Choose ONE Word for 2026 and have a great New Year! Need support for your new path? Happy to help! Schedule a call with me.
Many blessings, Annelies ✨
