I posted that photo earlier today on Instagram. It was more of a personal declaration than anything else. Then I realised that it could be so much more. It is a commitment.
Whatever your reason may be, it can be easy to put yourself last. No more. I am declaring, giving permission and demanding that in 2015, you take care of yourself. That you make it a year of you.
This is not an excuse to be selfish. This is a calling to be kind to yourself, to treat yo self, and to actually action some self-care.
I will be blogging my “2015: The Year of Me” to give you tips, stories and inspiration to do the same. I would be delighted if you join me on this journey and use the hashtag #2015TheYearOfMe across social media platforms to share and inspire.
#2015TheYearOfMe
When I thought about this earlier, I really wanted to get started. So I got started with myself. I’ve wanted one of those giant glasses (vases?) for a long time. I drove a few kms down the road and $20 later, I was back at home with a mocktail. Don’t wait for a day or time. Start now.
Will you join in 2015: The Year Of Me?
Absolutely. 2015 means big things here too & not resolution stuff. Just time to recreate & aim big 🙂 yay for giant glasses lol
Go for it, Holly!
I’ll join you! Cheers!
Cheers!
Yes I will join you in ‘The Year of Me’! I will.
Yes!!
Sometimes I can’t decide if I’m doing it wrong or doing it right, but I never really worry about the whole ‘me time’ thing. I do appreciate that mums often sacrifice themselves for their family life, but (gulp) that’s rare for me. What I’m trying to say is: it’s all about me AND you for me. x
I think if you’ve never worried too much about the me time thing, you’ve probably found a natural balance, which is awesome 🙂
Must have… or just have no concept any more of what’s out there 🙂 Good luck finding your balance, dear Vanessa. x
Haha! What an excellent start buying that glass is Vanessa 🙂 I hope the year works out perfectly for you x
I’m planning to mocktail it up again tonight haha.
Yes! Absolutely! Make this year an awesome one for you and reclaim whatever you need to! x
I seriously hope you’re following up with a bunch of awesome mocktail recipes! #2015theyearofthemocktail
Fabulous idea! And I love that you started the minute you decided to…Brilliant!
No time like the present is a cliche for a reason 🙂
I love all about me, especially now the kids have grown up. Love your new glass, but mine would have had a drop or two of vodka! Enjoy!
Haha normally mine would have had vodka too!
Love this! I’m in. This year I need to make this about me to get back to my old self!
Yes! Do it Caroline!
A year of me – that sounds like an amazing idea! I don’t spend enough time with myself at all. How do I join this challenge?!
Thanks so much for linking up with Six Little Hearts.

Thanks so much for linking up with Six Little Hearts. 🙂
I’m brainstorming a way to make this easy and inclusive – for now, use the hashtag #2015TheYearOfMe when you make the decision to put yourself first in some way – even if it’s stopping off for a coffee somewhere 🙂
Awesome purchase to kick start a challenge like this! The quote “Help yourself before you can help others” springs to mind. Cheers to 2015, Beth.
Thanks Beth 🙂
