When was the last time you took a minute to pause and enjoy a little me-time?

We know how hard it can be to make time for ourselves in our busy lives. That’s why we are giving Aussies the opportunity to win the Ultimate Me-Time Experience worth $10,000. You can choose one me-time holiday from our three specially curated experiences if you win. Whether you fancy some beachside bliss in Noosa, a wilderness retreat in Tassie, or indulging in Foodie heaven on Kangaroo Island, take a look below at the Ultimate Me-Time Experience inspiration. There are also more than 100 x $400 Qantas Holidays vouchers up for grabs, so there's plenty of opportunities to take a well-earned break on us*.
Make a cup of your favourite coffee and take a moment to tell us in 100 words or less why you or someone you know deserves a little Me-Time, and a relaxing me-time break could be yours. To get your entry noticed, tell us if you or your nominee have been spending time helping others, or if managing a particularly challenging or busy period in life which has left little opportunity for me-time.

This competition has now closed. 

 

*For full terms and prize details, see here. Open to AU residents 18+ only. Ends 11:59PM , 07/07/21.

Me-Time Ambassador:

Jules Robinson

"If the past year has taught me anything – it’s that taking a little time for ourselves is really important. For me, it’s finding the time as a busy mum and business owner to catch up with my friends, but for you it could be as simple as sitting down with your favourite book and cup of coffee. I’d encourage you, to take a breath, find what makes you happy and make a little more me-time. I promise you the benefits will amaze you!"
 

Why Me-Time Matters

A moment with Emma

Life for Emma revolves around helping others. Outside of her 9-5 job, nearly all of Emma’s spare time is spent cooking meals in soup kitchens for the homeless, raising money for charities close to her heart and being a companion to the elderly.

A moment with Katie

Life moves at a rapid pace for paramedic Katie and her husband Oscar as they juggle raising their young family alongside demanding, stressful jobs.

What little spare time Katie has is spent teaching first aid in the community and visiting preschools in an ambulance to help educate young children.

Tips for making a little me-time

Dr Michael Carr-Gregg is one of Australia's highest profile psychologists, author of 14 books, broadcaster and a specialist in corporate mental health, families, parenting, children, adolescents and the use of technology for better mental health.

Dr Carr-Gregg shares his top ten tips for boosting your wellbeing and making the most of me-time.

Digi detox for 24 hours

Always being connected can make it difficult to create boundaries between your home life and work life.  A 24-hour digital detox can help you establish a healthier balance and allow more time for yourself.

Random acts of kindness

Being kind can go a long way toward improving your emotional wellbeing and is the perfect way to make the most of your me-time. A 2019 study in The Journal of Social Psychology found that people who performed kindness activities for seven days saw a boost in happiness.

Read a book with a cup of Moccona

Reading books benefits both your physical and mental health, and those benefits can last a lifetime – frequent brain exercise has been proven to lower mental decline by 32%.

Go for a relaxing walk, jog or run

Spend your me-time doing physical activity that you actually enjoy and makes you feel good – whether it’s a walk, run, yoga or weights – find something that works for you.

Write a thank you card

Research suggests that even months after writing a simple thank you card (or text), people’s brains are still wired to feel extra thankful. The more you practice gratitude, the more attuned you are to it and the more you can enjoy its psychological benefits.

Do a simple meditation exercise

Practicing mindfulness consistently can change the way you think, feel, and act—because it can literally change your brain. Whether it’s doing simple breathing exercises, mindful activity or signing up to a mediation app, try it next time you’re looking to dedicate some time for yourself.

Inspire Your Me-Time

Everyone’s favourite way to spend their me-time is different. It might be breathing in fresh mountain air, indulging in good food & wine, or watching an early morning sunrise over the ocean. That's why we've curated the 3 Ultimate Me-Time experiences below, which one lucky coffee lover can choose from if they win our Me-Time competition. So take a moment to indulge in a little me-time holiday inspiration over your favourite cup of Moccona!
