Can We Talk?
This month, dive deeper into your One Word by engaging in thoughtful conversations with others. Here’s how:
1. Decide on 3 People
Identify three people you can discuss your word with and schedule a time to chat.
2. Ask These Questions
Pick a few of these questions to guide your discussion.
- How would you define [my One Word] in your own words?
- What do you think is the opposite of [my word]?
- How frequently do you think about [my word] yourself: rarely or often?
- Where does [my word] show up in your daily life?
- Any suggestions for how I can better practice [my word]?
Discussing your word with others can spark fresh insights and foster a deeper connection as you practice it.
3. Share with Us
We’d love to hear about one or all of your conversations! Share in the comments or in our One Word Facebook group.
I had a conversation with my husband Jeff about my word CURIOSITY.
One of his interesting comments was about an exercise of curiosity he did at work before he retired: the 5 Why’s. If you didn’t understand something, you asked “Why?” five times, giving you a more complete understanding than before.
A second interesting comment Jeff made was that he’s often curious about me. I’m choosing to take that as a good thing. (Right???)

Curiosity about one’s wife? Yes, I think it’s a positive thing!
Thanks for inviting our conversations here!
Yes, I should be glad Jeff is curious about me in a good way. 🙂 I enjoy hearing how other people are having conversations about their words as well!
Definitely! Being curious about your wife is a good thing, Lisa!
Thanks, Lisa. After all these years he still finds me a little mysterious. ha. I guess that’s good in some ways, too? 🙂
This is an interesting way of looking at our word of the year Lisa, thanks for the ideas.

Thanks, Debbie. I like to stay challenged with my word so I’ll remain engaged! 🙂
