Do you ever wake up feeling like a superhero, ready to conquer the world, only to find yourself deflated and directionless by the time evening rolls around?
Maintaining that morning enthusiasm isn’t always a walk in the park, is it?
I’ve had my fair share of days that started with a burst of optimism, only to fizzle out like a damp firework by late afternoon.
It drove me up the wall!
So, I decided to introduce the “word of the month” as part of my 30-Day Challenges.
Focusing on one inspiring word each month has kept me grounded and motivated, even when the going gets tough.
Amazingly, just one word can reignite that morning fire within me, pushing me towards my goals.
If you’re struggling to stay upbeat throughout the day or feel like you’re wasting precious time, give the “word of the month” a try.
You might be shocked at the difference it can make!
Discover Your Inspirational Word of the Month
Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble.
Yehuda Berg
Setting Your Compass
When choosing your inspirational word for the month, zero in on a single term that encapsulates your aspirations.
Whether you’re aiming to enhance your health, finances, or relationships, pick a word that embodies your goals and dreams.
This word will act as your anchor, a constant reminder of what you want to achieve and how you want to feel.
It’s not about what others think; it’s about what resonates with you.
So take a moment, reflect on your ambitions, and select a word that will guide you towards a more fulfilling life.
The Power of Monthly Focus Over Yearly Goals
Don’t watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.
Sam Levenson
Bite-Sized Motivation
Embarking on something new is exhilarating, but it’s crucial to choose a manageable and motivating timeframe.
That’s why the “word of the month” concept is so potent.
Unlike New Year’s resolutions that often fizzle out before February, opting for a monthly focus allows you to start afresh with a new perspective and goal every 30 days.
This way, you’ll stay motivated and engaged without losing interest or feeling overwhelmed.
By the end of each month, you can evaluate your progress and decide where to direct your energy next.
This approach keeps you fired up all year, so why not give it a shot?
Choose your inspirational word for this month and see how it can propel you towards your goals more effectively than a yearly resolution.
Picking Your Perfect Word of the Month
Words can inspire, and words can destroy. Choose yours well.
Robin Sharma
Reflecting on Your Unique Journey
When selecting your word of the month, consider your individual goals, challenges, and personal relationships.
As you explore our extensive list of 215 keyword ideas, pay attention to any words that leap out at you.
Trust your intuition to guide you towards the perfect word for your current situation.
For example, if you’re feeling scattered and struggling to reach your goals, the word “Focus” might grab your attention.
Alternatively, if you’re dealing with a recent conflict and yearning for healing, “Forgive” could be your ideal choice.
Remember, there’s no right or wrong pick; it’s all about what speaks to your heart and aligns with your aspirations.
Embrace Success with Your Word of the Month
The words you speak become the house you live in.
Hafiz
Consistency and Repetition
Consistency is the secret sauce when it comes to making the most of your inspirational word of the month.
By starting each day with your chosen word, you adopt a mindset that mirrors your intention and commit to focusing on it throughout the day.
For instance, if your word is “Focus,” repeating it to yourself can help you resist distractions and stay on track.
When I wrote this blog post, chanting “Focus” kept me from falling into the black hole of Pinterest and ensured I concentrated on my writing.
Similarly, repetition can help you release negative emotions and cultivate positive ones.
If you’re grappling with resentment towards someone, like a friend or family member, repeating a word like “Forgive” can gradually open your mind to the possibility of forgiveness.
Remember, using your inspirational word of the month effectively demands consistent effort and repetition.
So make sure to repeat your chosen word regularly and reflect on how it’s impacting your thoughts and actions.
With practice, you’ll be able to harness its power and achieve your goals more effortlessly.
Experience Your Word: See It, Feel It
Words are a lens to focus one’s mind.
Ayn Rand
Engage Your Senses
Your word of the month shouldn’t be a mere concept; it should be an experience that engages all your senses.
Once you’ve chosen your word, place it somewhere visible so you’ll see it every day.
You could display it on:
- Your fridge
- A whiteboard at your desk
- A bright post-it note on your mirror or computer
- Your phone’s screensaver
- Your to-do list
- Your bedside table
- Your journal
This daily reminder of your word and its significance will keep you focused and motivated.
To fully immerse yourself in the experience, say your word out loud as often as you can and visualise it coming to life.
For example, if your word is “Happy,” imagine your radiant smile and feel a sense of relaxation wash over you.
Carry this feeling with you throughout the day, allowing it to influence your actions and emotions.
Remember, your actions create emotions, so keep that smile on your face, regardless of the challenges you face.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Buddha

English is increasingly used for communication all over the world. For the latest set of words that we’ve added to Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries online, we’ve chosen to focus on English as it is used worldwide, or World English (or even World Englishes). Many of these words are related to food (see our last blog post about banh mi), because people everywhere like to try new foods, and popular foods spread quickly around the world.
Foods that change when they travel – tikka masala and schnitzels
Banh mi is a tasty Vietnamese sandwich resulting from a mix of different cultures, and it is now becoming popular outside its native Vietnam. When food is exported in this way, it often undergoes changes, sometimes because some of the ingredients are not readily available in the new country, and sometimes because people have different tastes there, or have an idea for fusion food, mixing it with another ingredient or dish that is popular in that country.
When many people began to move to the UK from the Indian subcontinent in the second half of the twentieth century, for example, they brought with them their culinary traditions, and some people opened restaurants. The food they made quickly became popular with British people, but of course, the British at that time were not used to spicy food, so this food was adapted to British tastes. Yoghurt or cream, for example, were added to create milder dishes with a more liquid consistency, like our word of the month tikka masala (a combination of the existing dish tikka and a masala sauce. In due course, tikka masala travelled back to India and to other parts of the world and became popular there too.
Another example of culinary transformation can be found in the schnitzel, which in its native Europe was originally made with veal. When German immigrants took it with them to the United States, veal was not easily available, so they started to use beef instead. And when German Jews migrated to Israel, almost a century later, they began to use chicken, because that meat was cheaper there. So today, in the different countries where it is eaten, a schnitzel can be made with a variety of meats.
Foods that change over time – pigs in blankets
Tikka masala and schnitzel are terms that are entirely new to the English language. Sometimes a term that already existed in English evolves and the meaning changes as the dish’s popularity spreads. Take the snack food pigs in blankets, for example. It’s more commonly called pigs in a blanket in the United States, but then it isn’t actually the same thing there – in Britain, it’s sausages wrapped in bacon, but in the US the sausage is wrapped in pastry, rather like a British sausage roll.
It seems that, in terms of sausages, the American meaning may have been the first one. When the pig in a blanket first crossed the Atlantic sometime around the middle of the last century, the meaning was adapted, possibly because Britain already had the sausage roll. Looking back at the origins of pigs in blankets, though, things get even more interesting. The first evidence in the Oxford English Dictionary goes back, as we can see below, to 1880, but it has nothing to do with sausages – the term was originally used for oysters wrapped in bacon!
This oyster and bacon combo, however, was not in itself an American invention, as it is mentioned in British cookbooks of the time, under the rather strange name of angels on horseback. It seems this name may have come about because the edges of the bacon turn upwards when it is cooked, looking a little like the wings of angels.
A masala of languages – chakka jam
Sometimes, too, an English word is used together with a word from another language to create a new expression. Take chakka jam, for example – and despite what you might think about jam, this one has nothing to do with food! When blocking roads became a popular form of protest in India, this term was coined from the Hindi chakka (meaning “wheel”) and the English jam, as in traffic jam. A chakka jam, though, is a type of protest, a new meaning that does not exist in either of the words chakka and jam.
So, as we can see, in all the many varieties of World English new words are constantly coming in from other languages, the meaning of existing words is changing, and words
are being put together in new ways to create new meanings. Masala pizza, anyone?

What’s New
Our new app update is here, and what better time than to talk to you about some job opportunities opening at Gymglish! Have you ever dreamed of working in an international environment with a bunch of nice and talented people, most of whom speak the language that you speak? Well dream no further (ever!) because you can check out the jobs available at our company right here (link). Off the top of my head, we’re looking for software developers, maybe a business developer or two? And most importantly someone to write these little updates, as the big wigs upstairs have caught on to my weird messages, and my job security is iffy at best. Take a look and tell a friend! Love you.

TAKE THE QUIZ
Can you make 12 words with 7 letters?
PLAY
Learn a new word every day. Delivered to your inbox!
This challenge is designed to help motivate people to start a daily private journaling habit. Sometimes it helps to give a little incentive to a new activity, you know? This one is really simple.
Here are the rules:
- The challenge starts at midnight on May 01, 2023 and ends at 11:59pm on May 31, 2023.
- Write (at least) 750 words every day for this month.
- The words can be anything, as long as they add up to 750 of them. Nobody will be checking to make sure you wrote anything resembling actual sentences. That’ll be up to you to decide.
- A day starts at midnight in your timezone (assuming you’ve set it correctly on the Stats page), and ends at 11:59:59. You can’t go back and add words to a previous day.
That’s it. However, to spice it up a little, I’ve built in some consequences for succeeding (and failing) the challenge.
Rewards and consequences:
- If you miss a day, your name will be added to the Wall of Shame. Of course, you can keep writing for the rest of the month, and re-take the challenge the following month.
- On the other hand, if you succeed in writing 750 words every day of the month, your name will be added to the Wall of Amazingness. If you had previously been on the Wall of Shame, your name will be wiped off of it.
- You can also design your own rewards and consequencees if you feel like it.
