My word for 2018 was “will” — going into 2019, I’ve picked a word that encapsulates what I’ve spent the latter months of 2018 trying to achieve: balance.

Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. In career and daily life. I’d like to find a stress-relieving hobby; I’d like a workout routine that doesn’t fill me with dread; I’d like to get back to the kind of stories I love to tell and read, but got away from for various negative reasons; I’d like to be happier, consistently, in every aspect of life.

These aren’t goals, necessarily, because I’d also like to be kinder to myself. They’re more…hopes.

Hope is a good word for 2019, too.

What is your word for the new year?
