Theme Your Year with a Song NOT a Word | My Anthem for 2017
At the start of 2016 I set myself an anthem for the year. I’m someone who has an affinity towards music so I thought it was a good idea to give myself a song to focus on for the year that would theme, influence and inspire me. Last year I chose Bird Set Free by Sia and it had an awesome affect on me I never expected. I’ve already posted a few times about 2016 being a transformative year for me and how I let go of many things I felt holding me back, so looking forward to what I have planned for 2017, I decided I need to choose another powerful and meaningful composition. For a long time I worried I wouldn’t find the right song for 2017, but one day sitting in the car waiting for my husband to come out of a store, I was brainstorming a list of Disney songs to quiz my husband on (don’t ask) and I found it. With tears streaming down my face, I immediately knew it needed to be my anthem for 2017!
Go the Distance [from Disney’s Hercules] Michael Bolton
It’s such a meaningful song on so many personal and professional levels, and I know turning to it this year will inspire me to go the distance and not accept defeat.
What is your Anthem for 2017? Let me know in the comments below!
xoxo,
This is a fantastic anthem. You go, girl!
Make It Happen. Mariah Carey. Her vocals get me dancing and believing every single time I hear her!
I usually choose a word, motto and a song for the year. I think this year I’ll end up having two songs. One is Childish Gambino “Redbone” because I love the music in the beginning and I love when he says “You better believe in something, we can make it, if you want it…stay woke”
OMG – Listened to the lyrics. Beautiful. I may “steal” this as my song for 2017 as I go through a health crisis with my husband.
I love this! What a clever idea!
I’ve chosen Me Too by Meghan Trainor as my anthem for 2017.
I love this! Great idea!
My anthem for 2017 is Me Too by Meghan Trainor.
I adore Disney music and I am so happy to know that “Go the Distance” has also resonated with someone else! I never thought about having a personal anthem, what a neat idea! I found myself listening to “Try Everything” from Zootopia a lot. Good luck to all of us!
