I am only one month behind everyone here. BUT I did pick out my word/phrase for the year and did post it to my sparkpage on Jan 1. My phrase for the year is "move it!". Too much time in my head and I need to be more physical to balance that out! So I'm all about moving this year. And here I go!

Hi Team! I'm new here, and like the idea of a key WORD or PHRASE for 2012. So I'm going to start off the year with a phrase "JUST DO IT!"
Maybe by mid-year it will change -- I'll see how I respond to it.

Janet, you have a great memory! Yes, mindfulness was one of my words. I think it was the 2009 word.
Lexie, Janet is absolutely correct. You will know if it is right when you live with it for a few days. I was sure my word for 2012 would be truth...and was working towards how to incorporate it into my Spark Plan and then that cancer patient kept using the word "consciously" and I realized that is what has been missing in my life this year.

Lexie, just live with BELIEVE for a few days. You'll know if it's right for you. If it's not, something will just pop out. Kind of interesting how it works when you're just paying attention....Mindfulness...wasn't that one of yours Mauri?
Lexie, I just laughed out loud at your post! You are too funny!!! I wonder if you incorporate that you BELIEVE that BELIEVE is your Word of the Year, if you will have instant success!! Andrea, if you're CONSISTENT, it will show your commitment.
Okay...now I'm confusing myself...should have posted CONSCIOUSLY!

My word for 2012 is consistency.
Lack of consistency is the main reason I do not reach my goals. Either that or it's commitment! I guess I will have to commit to be consistent! LOL.

I THINK my word for 2012 is BELIEVE, which is ironic when you think that I'm not sure that it is. LOL I'll let you know if I become sure. *grin*
The first thing I have to believe is that BELIEVE is my word for 2012. LOL The more I think about this the funnier it becomes! Hugs, Lex xxx

After much thought I have decided upon the word ACCOMPLISH for 2012. It seems I start lots of things and have trouble finishing them. I think trying to actually complete some things...or stick with some things...will be my focus for the year.
Great words, everyone. I remember it was back in 2009 when Mauri first introduced me to the concept of a word a year. That year my word was SMILE. I can't believe how effective the little technique has been for me. I haven't decided on my word yet, but I've got a few I'm thinking about. I'll let you know.

I agree with Shirl - great words, everyone!
Just a thought for those of us who have chosen our Words of the Year...Let's try to encourage each other - maybe a Spark Goodie or just post a supportive message on someone's Spark Page as we begin to incorporate these words into our lifestyles. What do you think??

My 2012 Word is "Accountabile".
I HAVE to make this Healthy Eating/Living COMMITMENT and be ACCOUNTABLE for it as I am the only one to either blame or thank for what I put into my mouth and how I move my body. I HAVE to do this for my transplant - my LIFE depends on it. So from now on I will hold myself ACCOUNTABLE for my journey, which is what I should have been doing all along. It's easier to blame a sabetagor on that piece of birthday cake or extra cookies or that slice of pizza with extra cheese that someone held you down and made you eat. NO MORE. It's all up to me now. I am going to be held ACCOUNTABLE from now on!

Some very good words posted here ladies. Here are my two words that I choose.
Pursue/Accomplish
I am going to pursue all my goals for 2012, as I have to pursue them in order to accomplish them, so to me these two words go together beautifully.

2012 Word of the Year: CONSCIOUSLY
Because of my crazy work schedule, I did not walk consciously through my life at all in 2011...nor did I even think about incorporating my 2011 word, balance, into it. In 2012 I want to live CONSCIOUSLY - not doing because I have so much on my plate...but to be present in each moment - consciously thinking about options, consequences, etc, paying attention to nutrition, making time for exercise - consciously understanding their importance to my longevity...and to the strength I need to do my work.
There you have it: CONSCIOUSLY chosen 2012 Word of the Year
