Feel free or Be free! Not holding back anymore or holding on to something that doesn't serve me. Thank you for that practice - Word of the Year. It replaces having resolution.
Hello❤ my word is “MOVE”. I recently lost my husband to cancer and I have my 2 year old daughter with me. I have a whole year ahead without my amazing partner. I’ve started to already move my body, I want to move with the Spirit, I want my mind and soul to move - not stay stagnant. Move forward, backward, stay active and engaged with my daughter. Be in motion. Move towards little and big ideas I have. Get in the car, go to things, be moved by good books, media. When I am staying too stagnant I’m going to get up and move! I appreciate your intentionality, I really relate to your ideas and look up to living life with purpose. Thank you ❤
Good morning Jennifer! My word is “RECLAIM”. Reclaim my health, my home, my finances, my spirit, depth in my relationships. The list really goes on and on. I hope to make this the year that I get back up and “RECLAIM” the life that I know God means for me to be living. Thank you for the always inspiring videos! Keep up the wonderful work!!!
Before I give you my word I want to explain so I'm not misunderstood. One day at the store I saw an inexpensive coffee mug that simply said " Make today Amazing!" For some reason it spoke to me. Just to do some little thing that would make my life, or someone else's life better in some way. Now I drink my coffee from this mug every morning and looking at it reminds me to do just that. Even if it is doing a little project, being kind, buying myself or someone else a bouquet of flowers. Anything that would make my day feel amazing. So my word is Amazing, as in "make today amazing"
My Mary Poppins-approved word is SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS! I just want life to be fun, lighthearted, joyful, happy and filled with high-vibe energy. Happy New Year!
I chose “Flourish” as my word. I’m coming out of severe postpartum depression that has had its claws in me for 2 years. I recently lost my aunt, who was like a second mother, and her passing has made me realize I need to start living again. I have 2 beautiful IVF miracle girls who are 2 and 4 and I want this year to me and my family flourish in all aspects. I want my health to flourish by making better food choices and exercising to help recover from all the hormones that were played with and disrupted during 3 years of IVF treatment. I want to flourish as a mom and build my girls’ core memories with fun and enriching experiences.
I'll be 65 on Jan 28th and this year my word is CONTENTMENT. For the past 5 years I have been practicing minimalism, simplicity and slow living. I have come to value just BEING... without chasing this or that. I am learning that life is now and I am happy having the basic necessities... food, shelter and family. ❤ This has caused me to enjoy my life to the fullest!
Happy new year everyone! My word for 2025 is "explore". I'm 51 now and I think I need an "actionable" word. As in exploring the parts of France I haven't visited yet, trying new dishes, reading about topics I know not enough of, going to museums I haven't been to yet, exploring the treasures that hide in the back of my wardrobe, etc etc... just giving myself the permission to do things differently before I fall in the trap of "I'm too old for this"...
The last 2 years have been awful for me. I’ve been in and out of hospital that resulted in not one but 4 chronic illnesses and now a dynamic disabling neurological condition. I’ve had to learn to eat again and adjust to being mostly housebound and unable to work. But I’ve survived and it’s shown me I’m much stronger than I could have possibly realised. My word for 2025 is self exploration. No longer being able to work I’ve felt a bit lost, but my husband purchased a watercolour course for me for Christmas and I’m so looking forward to getting into that. I always wanted to be an artist when I was younger but I was discouraged by my parents and pushed into a career I hated. So I’m hoping I can rediscover the joy I found in art so many years ago.
My word of the year is CREATE. Create a stronger spiritual life, create a beautiful garden, create more time during the day for day dreaming, create a cozier home, create helpful routines, create time for reading, create time for friends, create better time management.
Jennifer, I'm borrowing one of your intentions as my phrase of the year: Live Beautifully. My default, a strong current I swim against daily, is general sloppiness and just 'getting by'. I feel my days are often so overwhelming and I live in survival mode. But each of us has the power to elevate even the most mundane moments. Today I want to dress nice and take some beautiful stationery to my favorite coffee shop. There I will sit and hand write Thank You cards to friends and loved ones as I sip a hot drink and periodically look out the window of the wintry North East landscape. Love to all of you in this community!
My word of the year is CONSISTENCY. I know what to do to be happy and healthy, but I'm bad about giving up if I back slip a little or don't see results right away. So my word CONSISTENCY is to remind me just to stay on the "yellow brick road " so to speak and I will get there. Enjoy the journey and take pride in staying consistent more so than the results. But the results will come if I'm consistent.
“Outside” *spending more time outside absorbing the mental and physical benefits of the natural world *getting outside my own head and stop overthinking every little thing *looking outside myself for ways to bring joy to others * thinking outside the box
My word of the year is Wholeness. As a person who has historically pursued perfection, I’ve decided to reframe my thoughts and reposition myself to pursue wholeness in all areas of life which means I won’t have absolute perfection in any, but harmony in all.
My word of the year is “nourish”. I want to nourish my body with healthy foods and exercise. I want to nourish my spiritual health with more Scripture, prayer, faith. I want to nourish my career with advancing my learning. I want to nourish my family with healthy meals, a beautiful home, and close relationships. I want to nourish my mind with great literature, art, music, quotes, and positivity. My other words that I also thought about were: intentional, beautiful, and centered. I also love using the day designer as my planner
My word for the year is trust. Trust God can seem like an easy thing but truthfully it’s very hard. Yet I’ve been thinking if I truly trust God, all other things will flow the way it’s supposed to be. I loved this video. Happy new year Jen, and to all your subscribers as well.😊
My word for this year is Wisdom. This is my 4th year choosing a word. It sets my study intentions for the entire year, and everytime I notice my word come up I pay closer attention. Since I am trying to cultivate wisdom, I study wisdom topically in the scriptures, listen to inspirational talks, and read books that will help me become more wise. I love having a focus each year. It helps me become closer to the divine being God created me to be, as he does for all his children that prayerfully strive to become better, little by little, each day, with His help.
My word for this year is, healing. I have had chronic pain and felt so fatigued and ill all of 2024. I am focusing on all the ways i can bring healing to my body. I find i have ignored taking care of myself for many years.
KINDNESS: to myself meaning no negative self-talk, and taking time for rest, meditation and prayer Kindness as in a mostly plant-based diet. Kind to my body and the planet and the creatures. Kindness in moving daily with walks and yoga. And Kindness to my family in keeping in touch with my adult children and loving on my grandchildren. It’s going to be a Kind Year!🎉
The past few years I’ve three chosen phrases. I write them on an index card and quote them as a reminder. My 2025 phrases are: 1. Stay in my lane(which has multiple applications). 2. Organic flow(applied in terms of a slower, more natural pace). 3. Patience(be mindful of opportunities in which I can display patience). Covering these things in prayer helps me so much! Happy New Year, Jennifer! May it be a year of inner peace.
My word is transition. I’m leaving my job of 20 years in 6 months. I’m starting to think of how I want my new chapter to be. Taking more self care, be more thoughtful, awaken to new things. Happy New Year!
I wish I had a friend like you in person, Jennifer. You’re elegant and exquisite. You’re proper and planned. You’re artistic and awestruck. Thank you for this beautiful video. I’m planning on thinking about my word for the year. As always, it needs to be lovely like a rose.
My word of the year is Prepare. Prepare for starting to homeschool my son in the fall, prepare food (meal planning and prepper pantry), prepare my heart for the Lord, prepare my body for the future (healthy, fitness, strength) and prepare to sell our old home. Lots of preparing!
My word comes in three. It is WORK IN PROGRESS! I truly believe this was given to me by the Lord at a moment when I had enough of the guilt and regrets. I was feeling torn apart and my emotional health was being affected and I could not take being overwhelmed anymore. Those three words have worked magic in my life and my soul. Those three words have made me strong. Whenever a painful image from the past presents itself, I remember that I was a work in progress when I lived through that and if someone who has hurt me comes to mind, I remember that they are also a work in progress. This makes it easy for me to forgive them and prevents me from keeping grudges. WORK IN PROGRESS has brought miraculous healing to my soul. I thank the Lord for this most precious gift.
My word for 2024 is: Enjoyment/Joy/Delight (Njutning in Swedish 🇸🇪). I want to enjoy my everyday life and get out of the mindset of ”I’ll relex when… and Life will be great when we’ve finished X and Y…” Life is great NOW and it’s up to me to enjoy it and work hard to make it even better. This is the day that the Lord has made. I shall rejoice and be glad in it ✨ Thank you as always for a lovely video. I have read all your books (exept the one for kids, but I will order it soon) and I think you are just lovely! Greetings from Vaxholm, Sweden ☀️☀️☀️
I think my word of the year is going to be "trust". I heard a quote recently that said the scarcity mindset is a lack of trust. 2024 I had a lot of fear and angst that revolved around a very small portion of my business. This year, I want to trust in the Lord better that he has plans to prosper me. Trust that being consistent will produce results. Trust I can execute my plans: better systems, organization and schedule discipline. Trust I can take a little time off without my business suffering and my husband getting overwhelmed watching the kids. Trust I can take charge of my schedule and be productive/diligent. Trust that I have plenty of time and energy to pour into my family and that they will thrive as well. Happy New Year and wishing you many blessings!
My word of the year is Becoming. I lost hubby in 9/2023 and 2024 my words were slow/easy, but now I am figuring out who I am in this world now. I definitely want to become healthy. So 2025 is all about who I want to become.❤🙏🏼 Thanks Jennifer! Happy New Year!
My word for the year is PROSPER. I would like to manage my finances better but also focus on how my gifts bring prosperity to myself and loved ones. I may or may not have more money this year, but what I would like to have is the feeling of financial security and opportunity that is built on my actions this year.
I had a very hard year of loss of our 17 year old dog to loss of family and just all around hard times. My word is ABUNDANT JOY 🤩 💛💝🌟🌝🌼 I believe God can give me this joy even through hard times. 🙏🏽
Sorry for your loss . Pets are gifts and i am so sorry for this tremendous loss. I just lost my dog last December- a year ago - and still struggling with the emptiness. Try to think about all the love you shared . Sending hugs
@ thank you so much. Yes. I didn’t think our family would take it so hard or that it would be this difficult. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. ❤️
My word is curiosity. My intuition is telling me to be wide open to every possibility. I teach 12th grade English and I’m excited to see my students finish one phase of life and begin anew one. Thank you for the motivation for 2025.
I’ll be turning 50 this year. I’m feeling a real need to slow down and focus on each task that I do, and give my full attention to whatever or whoever is in my presence. I’m making an effort to quit multi tasking, and to try to single task when possible. I love being in a flow state, so I’m trying for more of that too. I haven’t picked the word yet, but I’ve got a few in mind. I think it’ll come to me soon because I’m looking for it 😊
My word for the year is "cultivate." Three years ago, I left a high stress job and took the time between then and now to recover from burnout. I have learned a lot about myself - personality wise, desires, style, etc - and now I feel ready to come back from recovery and cultivate the life I want to live. It's going to mean letting go of a lot of good things, and putting in some work to get the better things, but I have a vision of who I want to be and I would love to see that come to fruition at the end of the year.
Last year, my word was EXPANSION. Because I wanted to move out of my comfort zone to expand my mind and expand myself socially. This year, I am choosing EXPRESSION, because I want to communicate authentically and express my creativity.
"Torque" is my word for the year! I want to focus on effectiveness, efficiency, and minimizing "spinning out" and losing traction. I want my efforts to go farther without wearing myself out over it. Thank you for this video!
I have 2 words this year: 1. Intentional - I want to be intentional in my actions, habits and goals. 2. Hygge - I want my home to be my sanctuary, spend quality time with friends and family and learn to enjoy, rather than stress.
Devoted is my word of the year choice. I am devoted to my family and friends...strengthening bonds in the relationships that matter in my life. I am devoted to my health. I am devoted to my walk with God. I am devoted to enriching my mind and being with literature, art, knowledge, and beauty.
Happy New Year, Jennifer! While I don't have a word for the year, I do have a phrase that came to me from a childhood memory. As a little girl, I would see a plaque in our church that was placed over the altar. It read, "Holiness unto the Lord." I pray for peace, love and joy in 2025 for everyone in this beautiful and wonderful community this year. Much love from deep South Texas!
My word for the year is nourish. My goals are to prepare nourishing homemade meals and read soul nourishing books. To take nature walks and a yoga class. Nourishing for both the body and soul. To build strength with light weights. To listen to my intuition and take care of myself. I love the idea that we’re all creating content. That could be nourishing as well. Would love videos on taking care of yourself, creating your content and intuition and listening to your body. Happy new year Jennifer ❤
Happy New Year! My word for the year is "Devotion." I also have two planners. I use one for my personal life and the other one for work. Have a blessed day.
My word for this year is Renew. I want to renew my focus, relationships, energy, work knowledge, etc... I'm in a season of transition and I have neglected many facets of life for many years, even though I have made progress in recent years. I want to renew relationships, energy, focus, career, health, strength, etc.
My word of the year is “GENTLE” . I like to ground my word in Scripture and memorize the Scripture to substantiate the purpose of the word in my mind and heart. So my Scriptures are 1Peter 3:4 and Proverbs 15:1. I’m so delighted that you are feeling better!💕
I have never chosen a word for the year before but it seems a good idea. I have chosen a little phrase to repeat when harassed or stressed: "Hush the noise, Peace, Be Still" Thank you for your UA-cam content, always inspiring us to live our lives in a beautiful way.
My word is : apply My intention is to apply the lessons that I’ve learned this past year through Gods grace. Some lessons have been painful, nonetheless, I can learn from them. I’m blessed in that I love to learn. Happy New year.
My word of the year is positivity. I feel the need to focus on the good outcomes, even in bad situations. I need a sense of peace. In doing that, it can be. I've also committed to the the Bible recap study. I am already finding it to be very good. Happy New Year 2025🎉
My word for 2025 is Connection. And God has already opened many doors for this in more than one area of my life. I definitely need to regulate my nervous system. I have lived in fight, flight or freeze for decades and it has caused central nervous system damage that has caused leaky gut and 110 food allergies (most of the foods I love). I want to heal!
“Confidence” is my word for 2025. I’ve never had confidence in all my 50 years and I’m saying enough! I am going to overcome my lack of, and deal with what is standing in my way.
Healing is my word 2025. Since 2023 my husband has been treated for throat cancer. He is now cancer free. Our focus is to get back to a healthy lifestyle and appreciate all that Life that God has given us
My word this year is PEACE. How neat. I felt this word so strong during the last two months and through prayer and meditation I felt peace was my word for this year. Let Go…also kept ringing in my ears but what better way to get peace is to let go.
Funny, I am on a similar wave-length to you, Jennifer, and chose CALM. You said it so well, I want to regulate my nervous system! I do not tolerate getting keyed up as well as I used to (prob never did, really, haha) and notice quicker when I'm sliding toward overwhelm. Wishing you success on your journey to inner peace. So glad you got over the pneumonia and are feeling better! Happy 2025! ♥
My word of the year is: Intentional - to be more intentional. Being more present, mindful, and focused. Living a life based on a clear plan. Making conscious choices about how you spend your time and energy throughout the day to achieve your goals.
Hi Jennifer, I would like to see a video about "intuition" and how you achieve to recognize it and to listen to it. Many thanks for your work and beautiful content!I always look forward for your Videos and wish you a healthy and happy new year 2025!Best regards from Germany❤
Focus is the word I'm choosing. I was close to selecting "present" but I think being focused will accomplish a lot in the coming year. I'm seeking to NOT multi-task and to NOT have myriad things running through my brain when I'm attempting to focus so that's my reason for selecting it. One thing I differ with you on is approaching tomorrow's to-dos the night before. My brain refuses to shut off when I do that and it keeps me thinking on that next day and working through possible challenges all night long. It's a terrible way to spend the night. So I avoid that now.
Many of us seem to be on the same track regarding our intentions this year for 2025. Mine is 'Do Not Fret" and it is part of memorising Psalm 37:1-9. I do not start using planners until February as I live in Australia and we are on summer holidays. I have grandchildren staying for most of January so it easier to start fresh when things are calmer and closer to my normal routine. This was a good reminder to be thinking about personal goals now. Living beautifully and creating beautifully - I definitely do that at home and I appreciate you making that point.
Thankyou Jennifer, this was so encouraging and uplifting. It gave me a sense of hopeful spring in the air with the lovely flowers and decor and just you! I look forward to hearing what you learn about nervous system regulation as I am interested in exploring this also. Finding it is actually critical to be aware of. 🌿🌷💖
This year I am choosing a motto to live by: Nourishment from every angle, mind/body/soul. Will this bring nourishment to my life in some way? Will responding this way bring nourishment to my growth or relationships? Will this food nourish my body or soul? Will scrolling on my phone or finally reading the book sitting there on my nightstand bring nourishment? Those are the kinds of things I am asking myself this year! Making nourishing choices for myself and my family!
My word is Nourish for the year, and I love the questions you ask about.. does this give nourishment or not. So I'm borrowing your questions to put in my journal to ask myself. God bless you
I love it! I’ll be 65 in July…. And this is a necessary word for me as there has been so much change in my life in the last seven years and so much more coming. ❤
My word for the year is FOCUS. Thank you for providing us with this UA-cam video and sharing your knowledge with us. So happy to see you feeling better! You look fantastic!
I would love for you to make a video on how you plan your day on paper… including time rests and then how this plan turns out in real life. And also, how you deal with the feeling that you could not be able to do something you planned for. I know you are a very productive person… I think you can help more than a few (including me) in this community. May you have the inner peace you seek in this new year!
Hi Jennifer, My word of the year is “restraint” because I’d like to slim down, and pay off a debt. Your planners are lovely. I’m using a Filofax personal size planner because it fits in my purse, and contains my planner, address book, and wallet. Thanks for the inspiration to live a beautiful, well managed life!
For my partner and I our words of the year are peaceful health. This encompasses all parts of our health and sets the tone that we want to do it calmly rather than frenetically.
My word this year is Creativity! I want to make more time for making art because it's my passion but I have 2 toddlers and 1 baby on the way so finding the time is hard. I love painting and I'm good at it and I miss it! Last year, my word was Calm. I chose it for the same reasons as you chose Inner Peace. I wanted to have that calm mind and inner work despite whatever was happening around me. Love the video, happy new year!
Happy New Year Jennifer! 2024 was full of the most and hardest trials I have experienced in this life so far. So I have two words also, My first word is health. I am turning 73 this Friday and I need to be kinder to my body as it is not what it used to be. But I am excited to do better things for it and see the results. My second word is Hope. 2024 was a very tumultuous year for me and my family. However, even in our trials we have had numerous blessings. And Divine intervention has definitely gotten us through it. I am looking forward to what 2025 will bring. I really enjoy your videos and they are always a bright spot in the day. Thank you for sharing with us.🥰❤
My word is reclamation. I feel like my life has been spiraling out of control and I need to reclaim that control. Also you randomly opened to April 30 which is my birthday! 🤍 happy new year everyone!
Hi Jennifer. My word last year was "Simplify", and I think I did accomplished quite a bit in that sense. Still more to do, but on my way. This year I chose "Time". I feel that at this stage in my life (no little kids anymore at home) it is ridiculous that I have no time whatsoever to do the simplest things that I love- like reading a book! Daily life seems to eat most of my days, rushing from one thing to another, everything" urgent". I need to stop that and I will this year. Thank you for your inspiring videos and Happy New Year!
Happy new year! I invite you to sign up for my free newsletter at jenniferlscott.com/ Enter your email in the top lefthand corner and click "subscribe". Also, thank you for your well-wishes.

I’m so sorry you were ill with pneumonia! Glad you are feeling better now. 🩷
Oh my goodness...pneumonia! I am so glad you are feeling better. Take care of yourself, Jennifer, and happy new year. 💗
Feel free or Be free! Not holding back anymore or holding on to something that doesn't serve me. Thank you for that practice - Word of the Year. It replaces having resolution.
Glad you are feeling better... and we appreciate you, Jennifer! 😊
❤Dios te bendiga ❤
My word of the year is "ABIDE". I want to abide in Christ more this year and persevere in my spritiual growth.
Amen!
🥰what a good word.
I chose the same word ❤ Abide
AMEN! Me as well 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Amen
Hello❤ my word is “MOVE”. I recently lost my husband to cancer and I have my 2 year old daughter with me. I have a whole year ahead without my amazing partner. I’ve started to already move my body, I want to move with the Spirit, I want my mind and soul to move - not stay stagnant. Move forward, backward, stay active and engaged with my daughter. Be in motion. Move towards little and big ideas I have. Get in the car, go to things, be moved by good books, media. When I am staying too stagnant I’m going to get up and move! I appreciate your intentionality, I really relate to your ideas and look up to living life with purpose. Thank you ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss ♥
I'm so sorry for your loss! What a wonderful word!
Sorry for your loss!
I'm sorry for your loss..I love your word of moving forward. Praying for you and to your daughter
@@julielbarker I’m so sorry for your loss.
Last year was so hard for me. I was feeling despair most of the time. So this year I want my word to be Hope.
Sometimes when I have a year like that I like to think that things can only go up!
Don't despair....Believe.
Good morning Jennifer!
My word is “RECLAIM”. Reclaim my health, my home, my finances, my spirit, depth in my relationships. The list really goes on and on. I hope to make this the year that I get back up and “RECLAIM” the life that I know God means for me to be living. Thank you for the always inspiring videos! Keep up the wonderful work!!!
Yes! 🔥
I love this so much…. Best wishes that all this happens for you ❤
Two of my friends also chose RECLAIM. I hope you are very successful in this endeavor! 🙏
Amazing word 👏👏
That's a good one... I feel the same way
My word is "LESS". Less stuff, less activities, less being "busy".....so that....I can have MORE rest, more quality time with family, more of God. ❤
Waking up in New Orleans this morning absolutely heartbroken. Please pray for us.
The nation is praying for you! ♥
😢🙏🏻
❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sending prayers of healing
Praying for New Orleans and our world!!!!😢
Before I give you my word I want to explain so I'm not misunderstood. One day at the store I saw an inexpensive coffee mug that simply said " Make today Amazing!" For some reason it spoke to me. Just to do some little thing that would make my life, or someone else's life better in some way. Now I drink my coffee from this mug every morning and looking at it reminds me to do just that.

I love this!
My Mary Poppins-approved word is SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS! I just want life to be fun, lighthearted, joyful, happy and filled with high-vibe energy. Happy New Year!
Love your choice!
Love it!
Love this!
I chose “Flourish” as my word. I’m coming out of severe postpartum depression that has had its claws in me for 2 years. I recently lost my aunt, who was like a second mother, and her passing has made me realize I need to start living again. I have 2 beautiful IVF miracle girls who are 2 and 4 and I want this year to me and my family flourish in all aspects. I want my health to flourish by making better food choices and exercising to help recover from all the hormones that were played with and disrupted during 3 years of IVF treatment. I want to flourish as a mom and build my girls’ core memories with fun and enriching experiences.
I'm excited for your year of flourishing!
I'll be 65 on Jan 28th and this year my word is CONTENTMENT. For the past 5 years I have been practicing minimalism, simplicity and slow living. I have come to value just BEING... without chasing this or that. I am learning that life is now and I am happy having the basic necessities... food, shelter and family. ❤ This has caused me to enjoy my life to the fullest!
That is also MY word of the year.🥰
@kathywrightable Wow! The experience of it is so powerful! 🤗
@@divonnejackson9345 it truly is. Mine will come through prayer and walking it out every day.❤
@@kathywrightable Fantastic! I notice it in moments of gratitude for simple things like a clean home or a decorative object that I love. ☺️
My word is 'intentional'. I want my actions to be purposeful rather than often feeling like I am reacting to situations and people.
Happy new year everyone! My word for 2025 is "explore". I'm 51 now and I think I need an "actionable" word. As in exploring the parts of France I haven't visited yet, trying new dishes, reading about topics I know not enough of, going to museums I haven't been to yet, exploring the treasures that hide in the back of my wardrobe, etc etc... just giving myself the permission to do things differently before I fall in the trap of "I'm too old for this"...
I love this, what a perfect and exciting word for the year, so many possibilities!
This is wonderful!
This is great!!
Wonderful video! My word of the year is Joy! Finding true joy in Jesus in both good and hard times.
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
And I'm feeling good....
~ Nina Simone
My quote for the year! We've got this ladies!!❤
The last 2 years have been awful for me. I’ve been in and out of hospital that resulted in not one but 4 chronic illnesses and now a dynamic disabling neurological condition. I’ve had to learn to eat again and adjust to being mostly housebound and unable to work. But I’ve survived and it’s shown me I’m much stronger than I could have possibly realised. My word for 2025 is self exploration. No longer being able to work I’ve felt a bit lost, but my husband purchased a watercolour course for me for Christmas and I’m so looking forward to getting into that. I always wanted to be an artist when I was younger but I was discouraged by my parents and pushed into a career I hated. So I’m hoping I can rediscover the joy I found in art so many years ago.
Praying for you and your new normal, 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Please look into transcendetal meditation. It does wonders for rewiring your brain.
Wishing you go from strength to strength in your health journey this year after all you've been through ❤
Happy New Year, Jennifer! My word is CONFIDENCE. I’m 61 years old, and I’ve decided that this is way overdue. 🤗
My word of the year is CREATE. Create a stronger spiritual life, create a beautiful garden, create more time during the day for day dreaming, create a cozier home, create helpful routines, create time for reading, create time for friends, create better time management.
Jennifer, I'm borrowing one of your intentions as my phrase of the year: Live Beautifully. My default, a strong current I swim against daily, is general sloppiness and just 'getting by'. I feel my days are often so overwhelming and I live in survival mode. But each of us has the power to elevate even the most mundane moments. Today I want to dress nice and take some beautiful stationery to my favorite coffee shop. There I will sit and hand write Thank You cards to friends and loved ones as I sip a hot drink and periodically look out the window of the wintry North East landscape. Love to all of you in this community!
“General sloppiness” - me too!🫤
I can honestly relate to this... the feeling of just getting by. Live Beautifully will help with that!
My word of the year is HOPE. I need this so much and in my life.
My word of the year is CONSISTENCY. I know what to do to be happy and healthy, but I'm bad about giving up if I back slip a little or don't see results right away. So my word CONSISTENCY is to remind me just to stay on the "yellow brick road " so to speak and I will get there. Enjoy the journey and take pride in staying consistent more so than the results. But the results will come if I'm consistent.
Yes! It helps me to make quarterly goals that are specific and not too harsh, and set weekly reminders w encouraging words w them. ❤
“Outside”
*spending more time outside absorbing the mental and physical benefits of the natural world
*getting outside my own head and stop overthinking every little thing
*looking outside myself for ways to bring joy to others
* thinking outside the box
My word is “Delight” - to find delight in the everyday and to find joy in everything I do and experience.
This is my word too ❤
I love this
Love this one!
My word of the year is COURAGE.
My phrase of the year is “Be an example of the believers.”
My word of the year is Wholeness. As a person who has historically pursued perfection, I’ve decided to reframe my thoughts and reposition myself to pursue wholeness in all areas of life which means I won’t have absolute perfection in any, but harmony in all.
My word of the year is “nourish”. I want to nourish my body with healthy foods and exercise. I want to nourish my spiritual health with more Scripture, prayer, faith. I want to nourish my career with advancing my learning. I want to nourish my family with healthy meals, a beautiful home, and close relationships. I want to nourish my mind with great literature, art, music, quotes, and positivity. My other words that I also thought about were: intentional, beautiful, and centered. I also love using the day designer as my planner
I love this!! Great word. 😊
This is the word I’m considering, too.
Great idea! 💡 ❤
I love this!
Absolutely beautiful ❣️
My word for the year is trust.
Trust God can seem like an easy thing but truthfully it’s very hard. Yet I’ve been thinking if I truly trust God, all other things will flow the way it’s supposed to be.
I loved this video. Happy new year Jen, and to all your subscribers as well.😊
My word for this year is Wisdom. This is my 4th year choosing a word. It sets my study intentions for the entire year, and everytime I notice my word come up I pay closer attention. Since I am trying to cultivate wisdom, I study wisdom topically in the scriptures, listen to inspirational talks, and read books that will help me become more wise. I love having a focus each year. It helps me become closer to the divine being God created me to be, as he does for all his children that prayerfully strive to become better, little by little, each day, with His help.
My word for this year is, healing. I have had chronic pain and felt so fatigued and ill all of 2024. I am focusing on all the ways i can bring healing to my body. I find i have ignored taking care of myself for many years.
KINDNESS: to myself meaning no negative self-talk, and taking time for rest, meditation and prayer
Kindness as in a mostly plant-based diet. Kind to my body and the planet and the creatures.
Kindness in moving daily with walks and yoga.
And Kindness to my family in keeping in touch with my adult children and loving on my grandchildren. It’s going to be a Kind Year!🎉
The past few years I’ve three chosen phrases. I write them on an index card and quote them as a reminder. My 2025 phrases are: 1. Stay in my lane(which has multiple applications). 2. Organic flow(applied in terms of a slower, more natural pace). 3. Patience(be mindful of opportunities in which I can display patience). Covering these things in prayer helps me so much! Happy New Year, Jennifer! May it be a year of inner peace.
I love this! Happy new year!
My word is transition. I’m leaving my job of 20 years in 6 months. I’m starting to think of how I want my new chapter to be. Taking more self care, be more thoughtful, awaken to new things. Happy New Year!
I wish I had a friend like you in person, Jennifer. You’re elegant and exquisite. You’re proper and planned. You’re artistic and awestruck. Thank you for this beautiful video. I’m planning on thinking about my word for the year. As always, it needs to be lovely like a rose.
Ah, thank you so much!
My word of the year is Prepare. Prepare for starting to homeschool my son in the fall, prepare food (meal planning and prepper pantry), prepare my heart for the Lord, prepare my body for the future (healthy, fitness, strength) and prepare to sell our old home. Lots of preparing!
My word comes in three. It is WORK IN PROGRESS! I truly believe this was given to me by the Lord at a moment when I had enough of the guilt and regrets. I was feeling torn apart and my emotional health was being affected and I could not take being overwhelmed anymore. Those three words have worked magic in my life and my soul. Those three words have made me strong. Whenever a painful image from the past presents itself, I remember that I was a work in progress when I lived through that and if someone who has hurt me comes to mind, I remember that they are also a work in progress. This makes it easy for me to forgive them and prevents me from keeping grudges. WORK IN PROGRESS has brought miraculous healing to my soul. I thank the Lord for this most precious gift.
My word for 2024 is: Enjoyment/Joy/Delight (Njutning in Swedish 🇸🇪). I want to enjoy my everyday life and get out of the mindset of ”I’ll relex when… and Life will be great when we’ve finished X and Y…”
Life is great NOW and it’s up to me to enjoy it and work hard to make it even better. This is the day that the Lord has made. I shall rejoice and be glad in it ✨
Thank you as always for a lovely video. I have read all your books (exept the one for kids, but I will order it soon) and I think you are just lovely!
Greetings from Vaxholm, Sweden ☀️☀️☀️
Happy New Year! My word of the year came to me at Mass yesterday morning: GAUDETE. It means rejoice!
I think my word of the year is going to be "trust". I heard a quote recently that said the scarcity mindset is a lack of trust. 2024 I had a lot of fear and angst that revolved around a very small portion of my business. This year, I want to trust in the Lord better that he has plans to prosper me. Trust that being consistent will produce results. Trust I can execute my plans: better systems, organization and schedule discipline. Trust I can take a little time off without my business suffering and my husband getting overwhelmed watching the kids. Trust I can take charge of my schedule and be productive/diligent. Trust that I have plenty of time and energy to pour into my family and that they will thrive as well. Happy New Year and wishing you many blessings!
My word of the year is Becoming. I lost hubby in 9/2023 and 2024 my words were slow/easy, but now I am figuring out who I am in this world now. I definitely want to become healthy. So 2025 is all about who I want to become.❤🙏🏼 Thanks Jennifer! Happy New Year!
I'm so sorry for your loss ♥
My word for the year is PROSPER. I would like to manage my finances better but also focus on how my gifts bring prosperity to myself and loved ones. I may or may not have more money this year, but what I would like to have is the feeling of financial security and opportunity that is built on my actions this year.
I had a very hard year of loss of our 17 year old dog to loss of family and just all around hard times. My word is ABUNDANT JOY 🤩 💛💝🌟🌝🌼 I believe God can give me this joy even through hard times. 🙏🏽
❤
I'm so sorry, Monique! ♥
Sorry for your loss . Pets are gifts and i am so sorry for this tremendous loss. I just lost my dog last December- a year ago - and still struggling with the emptiness. Try to think about all the love you shared . Sending hugs
@ thank you so much. Yes. I didn’t think our family would take it so hard or that it would be this difficult. Thank you for sharing your experience with me. ❤️
My word is curiosity. My intuition is telling me to be wide open to every possibility. I teach 12th grade English and I’m excited to see my students finish one phase of life and begin anew one. Thank you for the motivation for 2025.
I love this word!!
I’ll be turning 50 this year. I’m feeling a real need to slow down and focus on each task that I do, and give my full attention to whatever or whoever is in my presence. I’m making an effort to quit multi tasking, and to try to single task when possible. I love being in a flow state, so I’m trying for more of that too. I haven’t picked the word yet, but I’ve got a few in mind. I think it’ll come to me soon because I’m looking for it 😊
I think your word is Focus and Flow
I'll be 50 this month, when did this happen?!
Tell me about it! The 40s have gone by too quickly
My word for the year is "cultivate." Three years ago, I left a high stress job and took the time between then and now to recover from burnout. I have learned a lot about myself - personality wise, desires, style, etc - and now I feel ready to come back from recovery and cultivate the life I want to live. It's going to mean letting go of a lot of good things, and putting in some work to get the better things, but I have a vision of who I want to be and I would love to see that come to fruition at the end of the year.
My word is FORGIVENESS ❤
‘Alignment’ is my word. ‘Alignment’ with my values which only I truly know ❤️
Last year, my word was EXPANSION. Because I wanted to move out of my comfort zone to expand my mind and expand myself socially. This year, I am choosing EXPRESSION, because I want to communicate authentically and express my creativity.
Vitality.... it came to me immediately and it's definitely the word for me for 2025!
"Torque" is my word for the year! I want to focus on effectiveness, efficiency, and minimizing "spinning out" and losing traction. I want my efforts to go farther without wearing myself out over it.
Thank you for this video!
I have 2 words this year:
1. Intentional - I want to be intentional in my actions, habits and goals.
2. Hygge - I want my home to be my sanctuary, spend quality time with friends and family and learn to enjoy, rather than stress.
I love these words!
Devoted is my word of the year choice. I am devoted to my family and friends...strengthening bonds in the relationships that matter in my life. I am devoted to my health. I am devoted to my walk with God. I am devoted to enriching my mind and being with literature, art, knowledge, and beauty.
Beautiful!
Happy new year Jennifer and Friends. My word for 2025 is a combination of ‘grace and breakthrough’.
Its ‘gracethrough’ 🦋
That’s brilliant, I love that!
I love it!
Word of the Year: Transformative! 😌💖
Your content is so beautiful: nice transitions, organized, the colors are relaxing but the details are intricate.
Thank you!
Happy New Year, Jennifer! While I don't have a word for the year, I do have a phrase that came to me from a childhood memory. As a little girl, I would see a plaque in our church that was placed over the altar. It read, "Holiness unto the Lord." I pray for peace, love and joy in 2025 for everyone in this beautiful and wonderful community this year. Much love from deep South Texas!
My word for 2025 is CONTENTMENT.
My word for the year is nourish. My goals are to prepare nourishing homemade meals and read soul nourishing books. To take nature walks and a yoga class. Nourishing for both the body and soul. To build strength with light weights. To listen to my intuition and take care of myself. I love the idea that we’re all creating content. That could be nourishing as well. Would love videos on taking care of yourself, creating your content and intuition and listening to your body. Happy new year Jennifer ❤
I’m going for: quality. Quality relationships, content consumption, food, art, stuff.. less but better
Happy New Year! My word for the year is "Devotion." I also have two planners. I use one for my personal life and the other one for work. Have a blessed day.
My word for this year is Renew. I want to renew my focus, relationships, energy, work knowledge, etc... I'm in a season of transition and I have neglected many facets of life for many years, even though I have made progress in recent years. I want to renew relationships, energy, focus, career, health, strength, etc.
Great episode, Jennifer! My word is sing, to find makes my heart and soul sing.
My word of the year is “GENTLE” . I like to ground my word in Scripture and memorize the Scripture to substantiate the purpose of the word in my mind and heart. So my Scriptures are 1Peter 3:4 and Proverbs 15:1. I’m so delighted that you are feeling better!💕
Beautiful!
I've been using a planner for three years now. I learned recently to use to help me: Must Do, Need To Do & Want To Do. 💖 Take good care
great idea, thanks for sharing!
Excellent!
Love this!
Last year my word was calm and this year my word is peace.
I have never chosen a word for the year before but it seems a good idea. I have chosen a little phrase to repeat when harassed or stressed: "Hush the noise, Peace, Be Still" Thank you for your UA-cam content, always inspiring us to live our lives in a beautiful way.
Last year was filled with challenges for me and 2025 looks to be the same. I continue to focus on Faith, self-preservation, and gratitude.
I'm hoping this year is better for you! ♥
My word is : apply
My intention is to apply the lessons that I’ve learned this past year through Gods grace.
Some lessons have been painful, nonetheless, I can learn from them.
I’m blessed in that I love to learn.
Happy New year.
My word of the year is positivity. I feel the need to focus on the good outcomes, even in bad situations. I need a sense of peace. In doing that, it can be. I've also committed to the the Bible recap study. I am already finding it to be very good. Happy New Year 2025🎉
I love this!
My word for 2025 is Connection. And God has already opened many doors for this in more than one area of my life.
I definitely need to regulate my nervous system. I have lived in fight, flight or freeze for decades and it has caused central nervous system damage that has caused leaky gut and 110 food allergies (most of the foods I love). I want to heal!
“Confidence” is my word for 2025. I’ve never had confidence in all my 50 years and I’m saying enough! I am going to overcome my lack of, and deal with what is standing in my way.
Same here never had confidence and I’m 50 as well
Quitting all stimulants like caffeine, gave me inner peace. Hope you get your goals.
Healing is my word 2025. Since 2023 my husband has been treated for throat cancer. He is now cancer free. Our focus is to get back to a healthy lifestyle and appreciate all that Life that God has given us
Wonderful!
My word this year is PEACE. How neat. I felt this word so strong during the last two months and through prayer and meditation I felt peace was my word for this year. Let Go…also kept ringing in my ears but what better way to get peace is to let go.
Happy New Year! My word for 2025 is growth, and I have written five growth statements for specific areas of my life.
My word of the year FEARLESS. Thank you Jennifer for yet another wonderful video💕
Funny, I am on a similar wave-length to you, Jennifer, and chose CALM. You said it so well, I want to regulate my nervous system! I do not tolerate getting keyed up as well as I used to (prob never did, really, haha) and notice quicker when I'm sliding toward overwhelm. Wishing you success on your journey to inner peace. So glad you got over the pneumonia and are feeling better! Happy 2025! ♥
My word of the year is: Intentional - to be more intentional. Being more present, mindful, and focused. Living a life based on a clear plan. Making conscious choices about how you spend your time and energy throughout the day to achieve your goals.
Mindfulness is my word this year.
My word for the year is beauty.
Hi Jennifer, I would like to see a video about "intuition" and how you achieve to recognize it and to listen to it. Many thanks for your work and beautiful content!I always look forward for your Videos and wish you a healthy and happy new year 2025!Best regards from Germany❤
My word this year is Grace.
Focus is the word I'm choosing. I was close to selecting "present" but I think being focused will accomplish a lot in the coming year. I'm seeking to NOT multi-task and to NOT have myriad things running through my brain when I'm attempting to focus so that's my reason for selecting it. One thing I differ with you on is approaching tomorrow's to-dos the night before. My brain refuses to shut off when I do that and it keeps me thinking on that next day and working through possible challenges all night long. It's a terrible way to spend the night. So I avoid that now.
Many of us seem to be on the same track regarding our intentions this year for 2025. Mine is 'Do Not Fret" and it is part of memorising Psalm 37:1-9. I do not start using planners until February as I live in Australia and we are on summer holidays. I have grandchildren staying for most of January so it easier to start fresh when things are calmer and closer to my normal routine. This was a good reminder to be thinking about personal goals now. Living beautifully and creating beautifully - I definitely do that at home and I appreciate you making that point.
My word is Gentleness. I’m learning to be more gentle with myself and others
My word for the year is Peaceful. I want my mind and spirit to be peaceful and my environment and home as well. ❤
Thankyou Jennifer, this was so encouraging and uplifting. It gave me a sense of hopeful spring in the air with the lovely flowers and decor and just you! I look forward to hearing what you learn about nervous system regulation as I am interested in exploring this also. Finding it is actually critical to be aware of. 🌿🌷💖
This year I am choosing a motto to live by: Nourishment from every angle, mind/body/soul. Will this bring nourishment to my life in some way? Will responding this way bring nourishment to my growth or relationships? Will this food nourish my body or soul? Will scrolling on my phone or finally reading the book sitting there on my nightstand bring nourishment? Those are the kinds of things I am asking myself this year! Making nourishing choices for myself and my family!
My word is Nourish for the year, and I love the questions you ask about.. does this give nourishment or not. So I'm borrowing your questions to put in my journal to ask myself. God bless you
I love it! I’ll be 65 in July…. And this is a necessary word for me as there has been so much change in my life in the last seven years and so much more coming. ❤
My word for the year is FOCUS. Thank you for providing us with this UA-cam video and sharing your knowledge with us. So happy to see you feeling better! You look fantastic!
I would love for you to make a video on how you plan your day on paper… including time rests and then how this plan turns out in real life. And also, how you deal with the feeling that you could not be able to do something you planned for. I know you are a very productive person… I think you can help more than a few (including me) in this community. May you have the inner peace you seek in this new year!
Thank you for the request!
my words are : BE THE OCEAN . Thank you for your content! Happy and healthy 2025!
Hi Jennifer,
My word of the year is “restraint” because I’d like to slim down, and pay off a debt. Your planners are lovely. I’m using a Filofax personal size planner because it fits in my purse, and contains my planner, address book, and wallet. Thanks for the inspiration to live a beautiful, well managed life!
For my partner and I our words of the year are peaceful health. This encompasses all parts of our health and sets the tone that we want to do it calmly rather than frenetically.
My word this year is Creativity! I want to make more time for making art because it's my passion but I have 2 toddlers and 1 baby on the way so finding the time is hard. I love painting and I'm good at it and I miss it!
Last year, my word was Calm. I chose it for the same reasons as you chose Inner Peace. I wanted to have that calm mind and inner work despite whatever was happening around me.
Love the video, happy new year!
Happy New Year Jennifer! 2024 was full of the most and hardest trials I have experienced in this life so far. So I have two words also, My first word is health. I am turning 73 this Friday and I need to be kinder to my body as it is not what it used to be. But I am excited to do better things for it and see the results. My second word is Hope. 2024 was a very tumultuous year for me and my family. However, even in our trials we have had numerous blessings. And Divine intervention has definitely gotten us through it. I am looking forward to what 2025 will bring. I really enjoy your videos and they are always a bright spot in the day. Thank you for sharing with us.🥰❤
Living godly. Putting God first in my life. I know I live by grace not by works people but it's my goal.
My word is reclamation. I feel like my life has been spiraling out of control and I need to reclaim that control. Also you randomly opened to April 30 which is my birthday! 🤍 happy new year everyone!
My word this year is Become. It is a continuous action to Become better, stronger, whatever. Something I'm really needing this year.
Hi Jennifer. My word last year was "Simplify", and I think I did accomplished quite a bit in that sense. Still more to do, but on my way. This year I chose "Time". I feel that at this stage in my life (no little kids anymore at home) it is ridiculous that I have no time whatsoever to do the simplest things that I love- like reading a book! Daily life seems to eat most of my days, rushing from one thing to another, everything" urgent". I need to stop that and I will this year. Thank you for your inspiring videos and Happy New Year!
