I really love what you have written and the care that has gone into your selection.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love your reminder to yourself that doubt is also necessary and can be life-saving...we need all kinds of people in the world.

You are absolutely right.<br /> My husband and I are both nurses and we always say-we get paid to worry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-colour-2021#post-2164277 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 19:10:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 2164277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am an anxious person too and have learned to accept it, especially in my work where it helps me to do a better job by thinking hard and following up. Not quite sure if I actually embrace it rather than accept it!<br /> Thank you for what you have written, it is profound. Interestingly I don’t seem to have much doubt about my clothing choices! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-colour-2021#post-2164274 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 18:32:47 +0000 AJ 2164274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautifully expressed!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-colour-2021#post-2164271 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 18:21:38 +0000 kkards 2164271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another worry wart here....i think its important to think about and plan for what might happen, but like you, its my goal not to let that overwhelm me, but instead it let the worry guide me. &nbsp;You choose to embrace the worry, I’m taking my worry and channeling it to help be be flexible with whatever comes my way (because in my mind I’ve already lived the problems and the thought thru the issues and outcomes). Funny to that we both ended up with basically the same color, you pink, i was a little specific because, well I don’t know, but i choose salmon pink.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-colour-2021#post-2164165 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 05:37:54 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2164165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What beautiful sentiments!

I had pink as my colour for 2020 and found it hard to give up. Once you get on the pink bus it is hard to get off, just ask all those 5 year old girls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-colour-2021#post-2164144 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 03:13:09 +0000 Jaime 2164144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Cheers to all this! As the mother who probably does not have the medical kit handy, I admire and appreciate your excellent qualities immensely. I love the idea of embracing our so called flaws, i.e. what make us special.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/word-colour-2021#post-2164139 Thu, 07 Jan 2021 03:05:22 +0000 rachylou 2164139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know this is true.

Sorry for the long post to follow :D</p> <p>This year, my word will be EMBRACE and my colour will be PINK.</p> <p>The word comes from the fact that my personal original sin is worry and doubt. I worry about the state of the world. I worry about my kids getting clipped by cars when they walk to get bubble teas. I worry about sinkholes and tsunamis (I live nowhere near the ocean). When I was a kid I worried that rabid skunks would get in the house and bite us. My sister jokes that she's never seen a more worried baby than in my baby photos - my little forehead was already wrinkled with concern.</p> <p>And I doubt. Myself, our world, my choices. You've all seen the play out stylistically on the forum. Doubt, doubt, doubt.</p> <p>And here's the thing - <b>I don't want to change these things</b>. I've fought my battles with anxiety and know how to manage it when it becomes disordered. But my worries are also a manifestation of my conscientiousness, and that is a gift. That is why I was the one with the cold pack in the first aid in my car when a kid gets hurt at the park. Adventurous people are why humans progress, but worry-warts are why we are still alive :D</p> <p>My doubt is what keeps me balanced in my opinions. The world could do with a few more people who doubt their own beliefs a tad. Religion and politics certainly could!</p> <p>But I don't want to stay stuck there either.</p> <p>Enter the late Kobe Bryant's wonderful quote, which I stumbled on the other day:&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>"We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it."&nbsp;&nbsp;</i></p> <p>Yes.</p> <p>This year is one to <b>embrace</b>. Embrace who I am, the good, the bad, the neurotic and the spinny. And it is the year to embrace others, in their messy, imperfect perfection too (and optimistically, maybe we'll be able to really embrace by the end of the year - because I miss hugs!)</p> <p>And pink, because when I thought of my word, that's the colour that came to mind. So rather than doubting and worrying about it, I'll just embrace it! ;)</p>
