I'm still choosing my Word for this year and I agree on the notion of there needing to be just one - I had two last year and I actually chose a third half way through the year as it was something that kept coming up for me (experiment). Having dabbled with these three, there was still definitely a main focus. So I feel extra, supporting words can be helpful...there are no rules. I enjoyed reading what you wrote about 'Paris', a word as a feeling. I'm playing with the word 'soar' in the same many, it evokes such a feeling for me.
My words so far: openness, visible, expand, soar, forwards, surrender, freedom, fulfilment
Hi Luisa, this really resonated. I’ve been using the term ‘recovering perfectionist’ to describe myself for a while, too, and I think it really helps to remind me that I still have those tendencies and, more crucially, that they can be overcome. Thank you for sharing this. I look forward to reading more of your musings in due course.
I enjoyed this read thanks Luisa. I’ve not tried snowboarding but I felt the same when I tried windsurfing. Sort of felt I should be trying it despite the daily fear and anxiety over it! I’ve stopped trying now. And love to embrace my comfort zone!
Let your comfort zone be your guide

Well, you know what I keep saying:
If we would spend just a bit more time in our comfort zone, the world would be a happier place!
My words so far are: truth, freedom, death, end, grief, and my current favourite breathe and Coraline

Why constrain yourself to a single word? Tidy, but is it realistic? Enjoyed the post as always, and have you to thank for my expanded playlist.
Well I thought I’d decided but with ‘Paris’ you’ve given me all sorts of wild ideas for different kinds of words! Thank you!
