“The” Word and The #365 Project: Making 2015 Your Best Yet

Each year, for years, I’ve picked one word to focus the upcoming year around.  The hub around which all else rotates.

For 2015, that word is “health”:

January 1, 2015 #365Health
#365Health
  • Physical Health
  • Spiritual Health
  • Financial Health

Each with its respective goals for the year.

And this year, I’ve chosen to add a separate component, one to help keep me focused and accountable.  Inspired by all the #365Projects from 2014, most especially Get It Done Right Member Corinna Rake’s #365FeministSelfies, it’s #365Health.

Each day in 2015, it’s my goal to notice and capture something related to an improvement in health — be it physical, spiritual or financial — and share that on social media (with summary posts here) as inspiration for myself and others.

It can be as simple as a picture of the ocean or a sunrise (spiritual health) to a picture of my forthcoming book cover (financial health) or even a simple dinner lovingly made (physical health).

There are lots of #365Projects out there:

  • #365FeministSelfie
  • #365SimpleLiving
  • #365Entrepreneur
  • #365Happiness
  • #365Family
  • #365Love
  • #365Journaling
  • #365Gratitude
  • #365ActsOfKindness
  • #365Leaves
  • #365Birds
  • #365Buildings
  • #365Blogging

Your #365Project is limited only by your imagination.

Why, with everything going on and all the hats that we wear as business owners would I recommend considering such an endeavor?  There are several reasons:

  • Increased focus.  And, after all, what we focus on tends to expand.
  • Increased visibility.  It inspires you to get out there more.  More for you and for your business.
  • Conquer old fears (if you have them) around being on the front side of the camera.
  • Camaraderie with others who are embarking on their own #365Projects.
  • Increased content creation — it gets you in the habit of creating content other than only writing.

And, for those of us who use and love vision boards, a #365Project is like watching your vision board come to life — you see each step of the journey. (Click here to tweet this.)

Are you considering a #365Project for 2015?  If so, for what?  Please share in the comments below — I’d love to see what you’re up to.

And if a #365Project feels like too much of a commitment right now, how about a #52Project (one a week) or a #12Project (one a month)?  What will serve you and your goals best?
