As the new year begins, I’m excited to share my Word of the Year for 2025: ALIGN. Choosing a word to guide my year has become a cherished tradition—a compass that helps me stay focused and intentional as I navigate the months ahead. This year, I’m committing to the concept of alignment in every aspect of my life.
What Does It Mean to Align?
At its core, the word "align" means to bring into agreement, harmony, or proper arrangement. It evokes the image of things coming together seamlessly, working in concert toward a common goal. Whether it’s aligning puzzle pieces to form a cohesive picture or aligning your car’s wheels to ensure a smooth ride, alignment is about creating balance, unity, and flow.
In the context of life, alignment means ensuring that our actions, decisions, and surroundings reflect our core values and priorities. It’s about living authentically and intentionally—a state where what we believe, what we do, and how we live are in harmony.
Why ALIGN?
Over the past year, I’ve reflected deeply on what brings me fulfillment and clarity. I’ve noticed areas of my life where things feel fragmented or out of sync with what truly matters to me. That’s why I chose ALIGN as my guiding word for 2025 - to focus on bringing everything into coherence with my values and vision.
How I Plan to Align in 2025
Here’s how I plan to infuse ALIGN into key areas of my life:
Spiritual Alignment I will prioritize practices that nourish my spirit, such as meditation, prayer, worship and connecting with nature. By grounding myself in faith and mindfulness, I aim to align my daily actions with my deeper purpose.
Health and Wellness Alignment My physical health is a cornerstone of living an aligned life. I’ll focus on nourishing my body with wholesome foods, staying active, and prioritizing rest. Alignment in health means treating my body as the vessel that carries me through my purpose.
Professional Alignment This year, I’ll closely evaluate my business endeavors to ensure they align with my passions and long-term goals. This includes saying no to projects that don’t resonate and embracing opportunities that reflect my values.
Relationship Alignment Relationships thrive when rooted in authenticity. I’ll focus on nurturing connections that uplift and inspire me, and set boundaries where needed to protect my energy and well-being.
Physical and Environmental Alignment I plan to create spaces that bring me joy and peace. Decluttering, organizing, and designing my home and work environments with intention will help me stay grounded and inspired.
A Year of Intentional Harmony
By choosing ALIGN as my Word of the Year, I’m committing to a journey of intentional harmony. I’ll regularly check in with myself to assess whether my choices and habits are in sync with my values and goals. Alignment isn’t about perfection; it’s about awareness and course correction when things feel out of place.
I’m thrilled to embark on this journey and see where it leads. Here’s to a year of living in alignment—a year of clarity, purpose, and flow!
