2018: Word of the Year

For the last 2 years I have chosen a word to focus on. 

2016:  Present
2017:  Focus

I feel I succeeded in 2016.   I felt more present in my job, family, and life over all. However 2017 was a struggle for me.  Many things happened over the last year to cause me to struggle with things on a daily basis.  Not my family or marriage, both are stronger than ever.  There were other outside forces that tried to wreck me but I think I came out above it all after all is said and done.  I worked on ways to refocus my mind, refocus my career, and refocus my beliefs.  I'll share the tips I have tried to stay on top of my struggle throughout 2018.

That brings us to 2018. 

I'm choosing to be confident, honest, and brave.  SHINE.  I let people but negativity about myself in my head last year which then sent me spiraling down.  This year I will be turning that around and let my strengths SHINE.

What did you chose for your word of the year? Let me know in the comments!
