Choose a Guiding Word For 2017

What will 2017 be about for you?

It’s good to sometimes take some time to reflect over where we are, where we have come from (the struggles we have overcome), and how we have evolved and grown, and what better time to do so than in the year’s last month.

While it’s empowering it also helps bringing new awareness and insights to the things we might have neglected or need to have a second look at in order to transcend and thus transform ourselves and our life.

The time right now is a great opportunity to reflect over your growth throughout the year so far, to review what you’ve learned and in what direction you’d like to go in 2017.

Last December I wrote this article:

MariaErving.com/live-your-true-life-2016

And my personal keyword for 2016 was “UPGRADE”.

The funny thing is that I don’t feel that I consciously chose it, it was as if it was chosen for me.

But in one way I did choose it because of the circumstances of my life asked for it (the need and desire for something better was there), but on the other hand it was as if Life gave me the word as a mantra to use throughout the year.

And I did that, and I saw many instances where my life and my experiences were indeed upgraded.

When I was in India for example I was continuously upgraded to better places to stay.

Sometimes without no rhyme or reason and there were many times when I was in awe of how it happened and I always remembered my word for the year; UPGRADE.

I invite you to read the article and see if any of the 6 points I mentioned there resonates with you and if there’s something there that you can use for the your personal power-word for 2017.

A power-word is a guiding word, a motto to live by

My keyword “upgrade” came to me quite organically simply because of the need I felt (=to upgrade my life), so look at what needs you have, what change you would like to see and you will know what that word is for you personally.

Here follows some examples of words you can use and what it could mean to you:

Freedom.

Resolve to be FREE in 2017. Make choices that promotes your freedom. Be free in relationships. Be free to be who you are, and so on. Whatever the word “freedom” means to you.

Action.

If you’re a procrastinator maybe the word action could be a good guiding word for you in 2017.

Happiness.

“I’m gonna be happy no matter what!”. Make choices that supports your overall well-being etc.

Health.

Make 2017 to be a year where you focus on your health; getting into shape (fitness), right eating, and so on.

Or how about getting your life together? Whatever that means for you; get a mentor, counseling, therapy, healing etc etc.

Whatever the word ‘health’ means to you personally.

Or how about words like contribution, service, dharma, or legacy?

Or the word “woo hoo!” With a big smile behind it? 😀

Maybe your tired of the dullness in your life and ready to have more FUN?

Other examples of keywords for 2017 could be:

Surrender. Release the need to control and instead allow Life to lead. Being receptive and non-resistant.

Openness to new and different experiences. Adventure.

Connecting. 2017 could be the year of friendships and relationships for you. Mending, forgiveness, creating boundaries, sharing, being ‘out there’, connecting more with yourself, and so on.

Wow. Awe and wonder. How about choosing this attitude for the whole of 2017?

Rewarding and soul-fulfilling. What would that be for you?

What is your need or desire? What one word would describe it?

It’s important to not just choose a word, like the word “love” for example, but to really connect with the word you choose.

It has to mean something to you, and of course love means something to all of us, but words like that are easily thrown around.

Same with words like “abundance“.

It has to have substance and meaning to you personally so be really picky and choosy about the word because you will carry it with you for a whole year.

So really connect with the word.

It can be a short phrase or sentence too, just make sure it feels empowering to you when you say it.

For example, how does these words’ ‘feel’ to you:

Pioneer. Innovation. Genius. Above and beyond. “Bring out the best in me”, etc.

For some the word “focus” and “discipline” resonates because these word are freeing to them while others don’t like them at all and would instead chose the word “enjoy”.

Enjoy. Enjoy life, enjoy what you do, enjoy the relationships in your life, and so on.

Whatever word you choose, it will require something from you.

If ENJOY is your word then Life will ask you to ditch that which brings you down, it will guide you to make choices that allows for true enjoyment.

The same with the word Authenticity or Integrity etc.

For someone that has had an uneventful life in 2016 these words could resonate:

Participate. Engage, getting involved, taking action!

Expansion. To feel alive, have more energy, experience more oomph in your life!

Alignment. Truth. Prepare for the ride of your life if you choose this word! 🙂

Other examples of keywords for 2017:

Generosity and giving.

Presence and showing up fully in your life.

Balance. Family/work balance for example.

“Me”, “Myself”. “This is MY year” (Sometimes it’s important to be “selfish” too!)

You could choose an attitude as well and swear by it:

Appreciation. No matter what.

Trust. No matter what happens.

Feel the words and think about what they mean to you and if you’d like to incorporate it into your life for the whole of 2017.

I invite you to choose One Word that sums up how you want to live in 2017.

It will be your guiding word that will not only inspire you to action but also remind you of where to keep your perspective.

You already know what kind of life you want to be living, and choosing one word that carries the desire you have will usher you forward and upward in the next year.

It will be empowering for you to commit to one word/phrase where you say to yourself that “this is what 2017 is going to be for me. It’s going to be about ___”.

And then as you go into the new year keep the word in your mind and heart at all times and let it remind you of what it means to you in challenging times but also in times of great opportunity and potentiality to grow.

If you choose the word “trust” for example, then keep it as a mantra for yourself in challenging times and in times of opportunity.

Keep it in mind if an opportunity comes your way but you’re too afraid to take it

Let the word empower you to venture into new, exciting things and TRUST that things will work out in your favor as you dare to move outside your comfort zone.

Use the word to make better decisions for yourself and let it guide you to live more fully from your heart.

So while my word was “UPGRADE” in 2016, not only did I experience a lot of upgrades in my life in different areas such as relationships, traveling, living situations etc, but I also did my part of the deal so to speak and worked on upgrading my personal and professional life as I was guided to do.

And I said no to things that would have felt as if I was settling for something lesser than what I wanted because the choice would have not been an upgrade for me even if it was in many ways ‘better’ than what I had at the time.

But it wasn’t the UPGRADE I wanted so I declined and had to sacrifice things because of the choice I made but that choice will also ultimately bring me fulfillment further along the path that I’m on.

Even if it was very difficult to make the choice I had to make it!

It was very difficult and I pondered very deeply on what to do because the choice would alter the whole direction of my life.

Maybe I share the story with you some day.

My point is that I was committed to UPGRADE my life and so I had to stay true to that and that required me to make some choices that was hard for me but that supported my desire for something better and more suited for me in terms of the life I wanted to live.

What do you want 2017 to be about for you?

What words comes to mind almost immediately when I asked the question?

Just stop for a moment right now and see what comes up when I ask you what you would like 2017 to be about for you.

The answer probably popped up in your mind quite quickly (as a word or feeling) and now it’s just a matter of finding the exact word/phrase that really resonates with you.

So before the new year of 2017, ponder these things:

How do you want to live?

How do you want to transform your life in 2017; what change do you want to see?

– What has the time come for in your life?

Her unique ability to read your state helped me to breakthrough

Maria’s intuitive abilities have been instrumental to the personal growth I’ve experienced as a result of working together. I’ve had HUGE shifts in my beliefs. Her undivided attention, presence and unique ability to read your state helped me to breakthrough and release old patterns and replace them with new self-empowering practices that have truly shifted my life. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone. I am forever changed and forever grateful!

Joanna, USA

It was more than I could ever hoped for or expected

My experience with Maria was more than I could ever hoped for or expected. I had such a positive experience working with her. I feel like a huge weight have been lifted and I have so much more perspective on what I have been struggling with. She cleared up my energy and I feel more myself, more at peace and all around better mentally and emotionally since my sessions with her.

Miriam, Espoo, Finland

I’ve never had a conversation like that before

I just wanted to say thank you so much again for our session yesterday, I’ve never had a conversation like that before and it was truly amazing. I could feel weight lifted as we were talking and for the first time my mind did not try to make sense of things, it was all truly felt in the heart space.

Val, Melbourne, Australia

Profound shift

I can’t put into words how much you have helped me. I couldn’t have kept it all together had I not experienced a PROFOUND shift during and after my session with you.

Connecting with you is magical

Maria THANK YOU. Sometimes just by connecting with you even briefly gives me instant clarity, it’s really magical, thank you so much. I trust your guidance so much, I’m just so grateful!

Can’t recommend her enough!

Working with Maria was one of the best investments I ever made in myself. I’ve seen immediate shifts in my energy as well as learned to work with my own energy and mind. It has been one of the single most transformational experiences of my life. Can’t recommend her enough!

– Chris, USA

I experienced a PROFOUND shift

I can’t put into words how much you have helped me. I couldn’t have kept it all together had I not experienced a PROFOUND shift during and after my session with you.

More transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried

I highly recommend Maria! I don’t even recognize the person who started working with her a few months ago. Maria clearly sees what is blocking, stopping or limiting you. Working with her has been more transformational than any other thing that I’ve tried. There have been profound shifts in the way I see myself and the world, so many shifts in my energy and life. I find myself so much lighter and freer. Thank you Maria!

Britt, Marbella, Spain

Something happened within me that I cannot explain

After our session, something happened within me that I cannot explain nor would it even make sense to anyone. There was a part of me that felt my being been taken over by a real peacefulness that I’ve never encountered before. Sounds odd but it’s the truth.

– A.

Maria helped me recreate my life

Maria is amazing. She is a gift to this world with an incredible intuitive ability. She has helped me to refocus my energy and recreate my life.

C. Málaga, Spain

My life has radically changed for the better

I finally know my worth. I feel so different now, I feel lighter, happier and more self confident and it’s easy to let go of people and situations that don’t serve me. I treasure the time I spend talking with Maria and look forward to my sessions with her. There has been big changes in my life, synchronicities showing up like magic and I’m constantly blown away at the business and opportunities that I’m attracting. My life has radically changed for the better after I met Maria.

— Robin, New York, USA

Maria is leading people to a new way of being

Maria is changing the world by her presence. She’s leading people to a new way of being. She’s rare because she’s able to see where you are at in your journey and can show you the way forward. I feel so incredibly grateful that she has been a companion during this time of change. If you feel drawn to connect with Maria I encourage you to move forward with confidence.

– Carolyn W. Asheville, NC, USA

You are truly a gift to us all!

I can’t even begin to express how much I have gained internally after my session with you. You have been an instrument of peace in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

– Owen, USA

I am so glad that I reached out to you

Maria, you are truly godsend. I cannot describe how happy I am. I have no idea what you did and how you did, but I am truly grateful to you. My words in this email cannot thank you enough. Today is the first day that I woke up feeling as if I am ready to take on the world. I am so glad that I reached out to you. I am truly grateful to you. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family!

J, USA

My life has changed dramatically

Since plugging in to your words of wisdom my life has changed dramatically. You pointed me in the right direction and that gave me courage to continue moving through whatever process I may find myself in and the ability to take refuge in the truth within me.

I had a complete turnaround to my situation

The distance healing was amazing. I had a complete turnaround to my situation so many thanks for helping me transform something I had lost hope about. It’s a miracle and the outcome could not have turned out better! If you want to see a real shift not just psychological but spiritual shift, then Maria is the lady to see. I am so glad I found you!

A calm came over me

I could feel the tension leaving my body and a calm came over me by just being in her presence. Everything flows so naturally with her and my life is more beautiful and I feel at peace knowing I have her by my side. I feel blessed to have her in my life.

Cecilia, Stockholm, Sweden

Thank you, Maria!

I couldn’t be more grateful to have Maria in my life. Her guidance and energy is profound!

– Robert, CA, USA

The whole session felt as if it was operating on another level

If you can trust one thing in your life right now, trust Maria. You can trust her with your heart and soul. It’s hard to explain, the whole session felt as if it was operating on another level. I’ve never had that kind of experience before. It just felt so much bigger than I anticipated. I can tell you with absolute honesty and conviction that having a session with Maria is life-changing!

– Lisa, USA

I have never felt more aligned to my true self

Maria’s awareness of energies and the conditions of the mind are truly impressive. She knows exactly what’s going on. She is so attuned to other peoples’ energy that she just knows where you’re at. After working with her I have never felt more alive and aligned to my true self.

Andrew B, San Diego, CA, USA

I needed help in getting my life back

From the first sentence you spoke directly related to what I was going through, I felt so uplifted and light. It still blows me away when I think about it now! Never once did I feel judged, or uncomfortable in any way. I feel like this heavy weight of negativity has fallen away from me and I couldn’t get those awful feelings back if I tried. I can’t stress enough what a gift it is to be able to work with somebody like Maria. Talk about amazing grace!

I certainly did not expect this

I certainly did not expect this, l have had periods of such intense joy and bliss, Love with an underlying peace that’s been consistent. l don’t understand it intellectually but my heart see’s it clearly. It’s been wonderful, I feel a true sense of connection and being rooted with in and there is just an openness and trust, and a sense of wonder and amazement. I am truly grateful, Thank you. Sincerely.

Mark Neely, Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA

I cannot believe what you were able to achieve in one session

I don’t really know where to start. I find myself at a loss for words. All I can say to you is Thank You. This was unlike any healing session that I have ever been in and I say that from the bottom of my skeptical, over analytical heart who had literally tried everything one could think of. I cannot recommend you enough to other people, you are a gift. I also cannot believe what you were able to achieve in one session, to me it is groundbreaking. Thank you!!!

Rosie Bebawi, Marbella, Spain

I was taken over by a peacefulness

You have really made a difference in how my mind works

I don’t know if I make sense, but all I can say is that I feel blissful. And I can’t thank you enough for that. I don’t know exactly how you managed this, but you have really made a difference in how my mind works.

– Silvia, Marbella, Spain

The feeling of peace and freedom is priceless

With only that one session and the healing she carried out, I’ve been without grudges, feelings of being hurt or anything on those lines. This feeling of peace and freedom is priceless. Maria is beyond amazing. Had I not experienced it myself, I would probably not believe it. I recommend anyone who is trying hard to be truly free and really start walking down the path of self fulfillment and happiness to book a session with her.

Could not more highly recommend

Maria is the real deal. You will sense it the moment you lay eyes on her. She offered much, much more than I’ve derived from other teachers; highly specific and personal recommendations. It is as though I got a crash graduate course from spirit. Could not more highly recommend!

Catherine Rondeau, Westport, Connecticut, USA
