Word of the Year – with Kerry

I had a fantastic year in 2019 and I am keen to maintain that into 2020 in both my journaling and personal achievements. It makes sense therefore that my Word of the Year for 2020 should be just that… ‘Maintain’.  I want to start the year with some positive journaling and mindfulness; start the year as I mean to go on.

​​In 2018 I focused on the word ‘Happy’ and it was a great success, with last years being all about ‘Rewards’ and self care.  You can see more on my old word of the years here:

I have used the gorgeous Lollipop Box Club December kit for my pages. WOW, it is a stunning box this month, so much so that I even bought my mum one for Christmas too. It’s packed full of motivational quotes, die cuts and scrapbooking goodies, so it was perfect for my Word of the Year pages. 

The page above is my main page. I have used the tissue paper as a background and then added the gorgeous envelope as a pocket. Inside this I have my 3 main priorities; Maintaining my happiness at work, Maintaining my weight (I am a Slimming World target member) and Maintaining my health and happiness. This will include my exercise routine (see the goals sheet at the end of the post), my planning and maintaining the growth of my blog and social media. (I hit 10,000 followers on Pinterest last month).

On the next page I have used the gorgeous starry paper as a background and then added a few journaling cards I received as a gift from Tiny Acorn, Mighty Oak. They are so positive and they fit perfectly with my goals for 2020. I used embellishments from the kit to set my goals and intentions.

Finally I made another pocket using the starry paper and put a few more intentions and affirmations in to the pocket. I love the final look of the two pages. I hope that I do continue to ‘Maintain’ that I AM good enough and a healthy work/life balance.

Also included in this months kit was a fantastic years worth of goal planners to add to an A5 planner. You can use these as tips in your journal like I have or pin them to the fridge each month. Mine focuses on 3 goals: Exercise, Healthy Eating and Planning at work. I love these and will be adding them to my planner as a ‘hello page’ every month.

Have you set your word of the year yet? If so what is it? I’d love to know, pop me a message in the comments or leave a message in the Lollipop Box Club Chat Facebook group.
