I came up with One-Word Goal Setting (OWGS) in 2023 for a number of reasons.

I was tired of feeling like a failure. I would set strict goals and not reach them. This happened over and over again! It's hard to remain positive when you struggle to be consistent and hold yourself accountable.

It's all a mind game and I knew it! I also knew I couldn't be the only one who struggled with this.

Additionally, I knew for most that New Year's resolutions were a joke.

So, the idea came to me....why not focus on one word for the whole year?!?! Any strides I'd make toward this word would feel like a win! (Yes, please!)

I chose the word "REDUCE" for 2024 because it could apply to many changes I wanted to make in my life. To see updates on how my word is going for me, visit The Dragonfly Society Facebook page.

One-Word Goal Setting is not for everyone or every goal.

OWGS may be for you if:

You have several things you'd like to make progress in

You have a long time to make progress

You're looking for progress and not necessarily specific results

You feel defeated because you don't ever seem to reach your goals

Your short-term OWG is to make progress

OWGS is a laid-back, less stressful way to move toward your goals. ANY progress is a WIN!
