Had to google what a watchword is. Does it have to be a single word? I guess I'd pick serenity:

May I have the serenity to accept what I can't change,
The courage to change what I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Rephrased it a little bit as this is usually stated as a prayer to God, but you don't need to be religious for it to be useful.

What is a watchword?
From the CED:
Quote
(a word or phrase that represents) the main ideas or principles directing the way that someone behaves or the way that something is done:
And remember, let caution be your watchword.

Today mine is chicken tendon. Not too much to use, too much that it'd be a shame not to use it. Tomorrow brick is the watchword of the day. Blunt, dependable and good foundations

For about a month and a half I've been overusing the word "fantastic".  I'd say its my watchword because whenever I say it I remember that this *isn't* just a fantasy anymore, I'm actually doing it.
