New Year, New Word

Hello and Happy New Year! 

Wow, 2015 already! What a breath of fresh air, I am someone who really loves new years. I'm sort of a romantic and just thinking about how its a new year, a new blank page is just so exciting. I know it usually fades away a few months in but this year I'm seriously determined to make this year a good one. I won't sit here and say I won't expect negative things to happen but I will tell you that I am looking forward to making it a positive year. 

Every year I choose a word that I want to focus on for the year. Last year, I chose the word 'Happiness' I focused solely on trying to find my happiness. I have to admit that although I was not happy every second of the year (which if we're honest it is kind of hard) I did have a pretty good year and I think I can say I was fairly happy. 

This year it's a simple one but it is a word that I seriously need to focus on and really put some effort into, the word of the year is 'Me'. I know its a small one but let me tell ya that focusing on myself for once is gonna be hard. I think that in order to really find happiness in life, you need to be happy with yourself first and sometimes I'm not that kind to myself. As sad as that is to admit, I know I'm not the only one in this boat. There are many times where I find that I am being completely hard on myself, I blame myself for a lot of things that are simply out of my control. 

One thing that made me choose the word 'me' is the fact that it is such a broad word. Working on myself can reach many aspects of my life and I love that. I can work on my health, my minds wellbeing, my career, my relationships, my happiness etc. There is such a big variety of 'me' things that I can work on and I'm so excited to make the best of it. 

I can't wait to focus more on myself, I know it sounds selfish but in order to be the best me, I need to love all of me and as much as I like myself I don't feel like I'm 100% there just yet. I have said this many times, I feel turning 23 is going to be my year and since it carries on to 2015, 2015 will also be my year. I just know it! 

I hope that every one had a wonderful New Years. Here's to a fresh page, a new beginning and time for  change! Don't you just love how hopeful we all are during this time? If you chose yourself a word for the year, I'd love to hear it! Leave a comment... Let's get talking! 

Here's to 2015!
