It’s been quite a year for all of us as we’ve all learned to help our kids cope with the changes. I’m really looking forward to planning a special New Year’s Eve Party with my kids for our family. This new year’s interview will be one of the activities we’ll be doing on December 31st.

I’ve added several New Year’s Activities for kids here below for you to plan your own special New Year’s party for your family. It’s going to be a quiet one this year but sometimes those are the ones our kids remember, spending special time together.

Word of the Year

Here’s a simple process to help you choose your word.

  1. Reflect – Look at years past and find an area of your life that you want to improve or make better.
  2. Visualize – Sit for a few minutes with your eyes closed and visualize what you want this next year to look like.
  3. Pick a Few Words – Look at a list of empowering words and pick one that is the best fit.
  4. Refine – With the words you chose, narrow it down to one or two that will be the easiest to stay focused on all year.
  5. Commit – Once you’ve gone through this process, commit to a word, write it down and see how it impacts your daily life!

Now it’s time to add it to the Word of the Year Printable. {Download}
