I’m excited about this blog post. Depending on the response I get, I might even expand this topic into a book because I think it’s powerful and transformative.
You often hear about people choosing what their word of the year will be … meaning, the word that they will live by or the word they will be. For example: fearless or warrior. And it got me thinking … could I convert this “word strategy” into a framework that influences how I live my life overall to give it an upgrade?
So I took a few weeks to noodle over some ideas and below is what I came up with. I kept going until my heart said YES. And I then adjusted my morning routine to make sure all 7 words were being touched (more on that below). And, well, I’m loving it. By far my best routine to date … and life is good right now with a lot of “lucky” things happening as I take consistent action.
OK, so these words encompass the essence of a fulfilling existence, and I believe by incorporating them into your daily routine, you can cultivate a positive mindset, attract abundance, and make a lasting impact on yourself and others.
If you get to the end of this article and you’re like, “I can’t believe Ryan didn’t mention X word,” PLEASE tell me in the comments below.
Let’s dive in!
1. Abundance
Abundance is not limited to material wealth; it encompasses every facet of life. By training ourselves to recognize abundance, we open the door to a world filled with opportunities and possibilities. Abundance is energy, and by aligning our feelings and actions with a mindset of abundance, we can attract even more of it into our lives.
2. Gratitude
Gratitude is a secret weapon for cultivating happiness and contentment. By making gratitude a daily practice, we rewire our brains to focus on the positive aspects of life. Take a moment each day to reflect on what you are thankful for, and witness the transformative power of gratitude in your life.
3. Love
Love is the antidote to fear and the cornerstone of human experience. By approaching life with love, we can reduce fear’s hold on us. Embrace love in all areas of your life, from relationships to self-acceptance. Let love be your guiding force and watch as it enriches your existence.
4. Expansion
Human beings are meant to grow and evolve. To upgrade your life, focus on expanding in every area possible. Expand your identity, wellness, knowledge, relationships, and skills. Imagine yourself as a radiant light that grows brighter with each intentional action you take.
5. Faith
Faith does not necessarily imply religious beliefs; it is about believing in something greater than yourself. Whether you put your trust in God, the Universe, or a Higher Spirit, faith reminds us that we are not alone. Embrace the energy that surrounds and supports us, and let it propel you toward happiness and success.
6. Mindfulness
In a world that often moves at a rapid pace, mindfulness is the key to slowing down and truly appreciating the beauty in everyday life. Take a moment to be present, to savor the sounds, sights, and small wonders that surround you. By practicing mindfulness, you gain control over your thoughts and unlock the extraordinary within the ordinary.
7. Impact
Personal growth should extend beyond ourselves. True fulfillment comes from making a positive impact on the world around us. Seek opportunities to give back and contribute to the well-being of others. This can be through donating money, volunteering time, or offering support to loved ones. Embrace the ultimate human experience of improving yourself and those around you.
Incorporating the 7 Words Into Your Daily Routine
Now that we understand the power of these words, let’s explore how you can integrate them into your daily routine to upgrade your life. Allow me to share my personal example as inspiration:
Each morning, I start with meditation and visualization, focusing on abundance, gratitude, and love. I then engage in reading a book that expands my thinking and knowledge, fostering my personal growth. Next, I use a Bible app to connect with my faith, drawing strength, and guidance. Lastly, I use the ShareTheMeal app to donate five meals to those in need, allowing me to make a positive impact beyond myself.
By embracing this routine, I fuel my personal growth while integrating all seven words.
