We are half-way there ✨

New year resolutions sound cool when the year starts but they aren’t always necessary and if you make a few, you don’t need to blame yourself or feel bad about not getting there at all.

Mid-year is a good time to review your goals, set new ones and map a plan for the rest of the days of the year.

So, what is a mid-year reset?

A “mid-year reset” typically refers to a period of reflection and adjustment that takes place around the middle of the year. It involves reevaluating one’s goals, priorities, and plans, and making any necessary changes or adjustments to ensure a fresh start and renewed focus for the remaining months of the year.

Many people set goals or make resolutions at the beginning of the year, but as time passes, circumstances can change, priorities may shift, and initial plans may need to be revised. A mid-year reset provides an opportunity to reassess and realign oneself with their objectives, taking into account any new developments or insights gained during the first half of the year.

During a mid-year reset, individuals may reflect on various aspects of their lives, such as personal goals, career aspirations, health and well-being, relationships, and overall happiness. They may review their progress, celebrate achievements, identify areas for improvement, and set new targets or revise existing ones. This process helps to regain focus, motivation, and momentum to make the most of the remainder of the year.
