It’s almost 2015, and I’m settled in with my word for the year: Nurture. Before I get started on the year, I’m going to explore it a little more in depth with some questions posed by Susannah Conway.
What does your heart need? My heart needs nurturing and tenderness. My heart needs peace and comforting. My heart needs to feel healed and whole again. It’s getting there, but it’s still sore and scabbed.
If you lived and breathed your Word every day in 2015, what would be different for you? I think if I lived and breathed “nurture,” I might feel like myself again. I think I would take better care of myself and feel like I’m doing my very best to care for the ones I love. I think I would actually take the time to nurture my passions and hobbies instead of drifting through life daydreaming about “someday.”
List some ways you are already being/experiencing this Word. I’m already taking the time to nurture myself by reflecting on the past two years and visualizing my ideal life. I’ve been planning ways to nurture myself and promote better health so I can better care for my family. I’ve been planning the next round of Cultivate prompts, which will further encourage me to nurture. I’ve felt the nurturing others have provided to me and my family these past two years, too. I’ve found that my circle knows how nurture when I’m broken and raw.
What can you do this year to bring more of your Word into your world? I can pen in daily goals — 64+ounces of water, fruits and veggies, a good stretch, a hot cuppa while writing. I can get in the kitchen and cook up pots of soups during the cooler months to keep our bodies happy and healthy. I can live and breathe maternal instincts.
Choose four more words to support your Word this year. They could be anything from inspiring words to names of people to things you want to invest in… Happy, Peace, Love, and Cultivate. This came very easily after having sat down over that 5 day e-course.
Don’t forget to sign up for the Cultivate 2015 prompts. We’ll start on January 11th and run through 31st. Let’s cultivate a life worth loving together!
Nurture is such a great word because it is necessary. We forget to nurture ourselves and that is not good. We nurture ourselves, we nurture others, etc…
So important. So excited about Cultivate, Meredith! Here’s to nurturing each other and making 2015 the best yet.
