Choosing Your Word for the New Year with Matt Derrenbacher - a podcast by Live Happy

While many people are thinking about their New Year’s Resolutions, others are taking a different approach to the new year and setting an intention. To do that, choosing one word to focus on throughout the year is a helpful and effective practice, and this week’s guest is here to tell us how to do it and how it works. Matt Derrenbacher is a fifth-year rabbinical student at the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Cincinnati and has served as a chaplain candidate for the U.S. Air Force and a Jewish educator. He explains how using a single word can help us set an intention for the year and help us stay on track in the months to come. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why choosing one word to focus on throughout the coming year can help guide your actions.
• Why many people find it more effective than setting a resolution.
• How to decide what your word should be—and how to remind yourself of it regularly.
