Choosing Your Focus for 2024: A Busy Moms Guide to Choosing your Focus Word or Phrase

As we usher in a new year, many of us, especially busy moms, find ourselves contemplating resolutions, intentions, or guiding words. In the whirlwind of motherhood, juggling countless responsibilities, how can we ensure that our wellness—mind, body, and spirit—doesn't take a back seat? But moreover, remains steadfastly anchored in our faith in God? The answer might be simpler than you think: by choosing a word or phrase to anchor our intentions for the year.

The Busy Mom's Challenge . . .

Being a mom is rewarding, but it's also demanding. A blessing… AND a challenge. The joys of nurturing, guiding, and witnessing our children's growth are unparalleled. However, between school runs, work commitments, meal preparations, and endless chores, finding a moment for ourselves can seem like a distant dream right? The constant demands, coupled with personal aspirations and spiritual growth, can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed and lead to neglecting our well-being leading to burnout, stress, and a diminished sense of joy in our roles.

The Power of a Word or Phrase

In the midst of life's chaos, a guiding word or phrase, especially when deeply rooted in our faith or values, can be our beacon. It can serve as a touchstone, reminding us of our intentions, aspirations and encouraging alignment with our core values and the divine purpose God has for us.. Rather than getting lost in a sea of resolutions, this singular focus simplifies our approach, making wellness more attainable and actionable and inviting God into our journey, guiding our steps and decisions. 

Selecting Your Mom-Centric Word/Phrase

When choosing your word or phrase, consider your unique journey as a mom and your relationship with God. Reflect on the past year's highs and lows. Reflect on moments of faith, challenges, and blessings. Which areas of motherhood and personal wellness do you feel called to nurture this year? Perhaps words like "Nourish," emphasizing wholesome self-care, or "Connect," highlighting the importance of bonding with loved ones, resonate with you.

Integrating Your Focus into Daily Life

Once you've identified your guiding word or phrase, you'll need to find a way to weave it into your daily routine and spiritual practices. Whether it's through morning routines, mindfulness breaks, scripture reflections, or involving your family in your wellness journey, find ways to keep your focus alive and actionable while nurturing both your relationship with God AND your well-being. Keep your word somewhere you will see it DAILY. Your mirror, your phone background, on a vision board. Get creative! 

Adjusting with Life's Realities

As with any journey, there will be moments of doubt, challenge, and growth. It's essential to recognize and remember that motherhood will have its unpredictable moments. Embrace flexibility, adjust your goals when needed, and celebrate even the SMALLEST victories because God’s plan for us is vast and profound. Even in the simplest moments of life, there can revelations of big victory.  Remember, progress, not perfection, is the goal.

Cultivating Alignment in 2024. Revealing my word/phrase of the year.

For my personal journey in 2024, I've chosen the phrase "Cultivate Alignment." with my supporting words being discipline, connection, clarity and courage. (Seems like a chiro would choose that right? But I digress… ;) ). To me, this phrase truly embodies the essence of intentional living and balance as well as emphasizing a harmonious relationship with God's will. As a busy mom and entrepreneur, it's all too easy to feel pulled in multiple directions, often leading to a sense of imbalance in life. "Cultivate Alignment" serves as a reminder to align my actions, decisions, and priorities with my core values and aspirations. It's about nurturing harmony between my roles as a mother, professional, wife, and individual. Through this focus phrase this year, I aim to foster a life where every choice, big or small, resonates with my authentic self, leading to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven year ahead.
