Time To Unveil my Word For 2024

Well, it’s come to that time: the time to unveil my word for 2024. I’ve been choosing words for several years, now, and it’s kind of a fun touchstone to start the year. Are you ready for it?

Drumroll, please…

My 2024 word of the year is… CONSISTENT.

Here’s where you say, “but Jenn, surely this can’t be right! You run every day! You are the model of consistency!” And I’ll stop you right there. Yes. I am very good at regular workouts, but I also have a lot of false starts. I have some really great ideas rattling around in my brain, and I let them slide quite frequently. We can blame the fact that I am easily distracted and overwhelmed, but placing blame doesn’t fix the problem.

My workouts are CONSISTENT

This we know. I run three to four days a week, and walk the other days, plus spend four days in the gym working on strength. I mentioned wanting to add in a cardio dance class or a yoga session, but in the meantime, I will keep on pushing with my current regimen. It’s working.

My engagement needs to be more CONSISTENT

I have a healthy social media following, but I’d like to grow. In 2024, I will be more consistent in sharing Stories and Reels, as well as commenting and engaging with everyone. It’s something I put off every day, and then fall asleep before I manage it. Not so in the new year!

I want to be more CONSISTENT in my actions

My intentions are almost always good. Great, even. But then I start something and fail to finish. Ugh. This year, I’m going to be more mindful and CONSISTENT about sharing my quest for 50 books in a year, uploading recipe and more specific workouts, and staying on top of all my blogging. I’ve been great about it the last month, and that needs to CONSISTENTLY continue.

Being CONSISTENT in pursuit of my goals is a must

The theme of this post is how I let things go by the wayside. Therefore, I plan to be more CONSISTENT in keeping up with my goals. My imposter syndrome and anxiety play a huge role in me freezing up and getting stuck in inaction, and that has to stop. I acknowledge this flaw, and plan to overcome it.

My communication needs to be more CONSISTENT

If you know me well, you know that I will drop off the face of the earth sometimes. Usually, it’s when things are (for me) unbearably difficult, and I can’t stand being around myself, let alone others. It’s a bad habit, and I’m sorry to those who get to deal with my bizarre vanishing. Deep down, I can’t stand being vulnerable, so I feel that hiding away is the best option. Then too much time passes, and I get embarrassed that I’ve gone radio silent. It’s a ridiculous cycle, and I know better. Therefore, brace yourselves, but I will be more CONSISTENT in my communication, because I can’t just ghost when times get tough.

And there you have it. I’ve got a plan to be CONSISTENT in 2024! What do you think?

What is your word for 2024?
