My ‘Word’ for 2026…

As we start looking toward a brand new year, I’ve been thinking about how powerful it can be to choose one word to guide us.

Not a long list of resolutions. Not a complicated plan. Just one simple word that sets the tone for how you want to show up in 2026.

Choosing a word for the year is like giving yourself a little anchor to come back to when life gets busy or messy. Instead of trying to juggle a whole list of goals, one word helps you stay focused on what really matters and the kind of person you want to be. It keeps you grounded, reminds you of your values and gives you a bit of direction when you start to drift off track. It’s simple, low pressure, and a lovely way to build resilience and intention throughout the year.

My word for 2026 is Persistence.

Who else has a word for the coming year? And if you’ve never chosen one before, is this something you’d like to try?
