Why mid-year check-in is important

It helps you…

1-reassess your life and goals so you can build a good picture of what you have done

and what you will do for the next 6 months, 

2-Realign your life, goals, and habits to what you really want and get back to

your goals from the beginning of the year if they are still relevant.

something always welcomed and desirable to add novelty and fun into your life

How to do a mid-year reflection (assessment)

Here, you look at your goals and areas of your life and assess them so you can reset them later

Better do it with a pen and a notebook, following the prompts

Mid year journal prompts

1-How do i feel about how the past 6 months went? why?

2-What have I actually achieved or progressed in, goals and habits-wise?

3-Which goal didn’t get anywhere?

4-What was in my way? What obstacles arose that contributed to the results?

5-Was i aligned with who i wanted to be? Why and why not?

6-How did i do in each area of my life that is important to me? Which shined? Which took a back seat? And why?

Mid year reset

To keep it simple, let’s divide it into 5 areas

1-decluttering and resting of the physical environment

How to do it simply:

Don’t let your mind think you need to do it for the whole house or a whole room; you just need to choose one

place, like your closet, desk, specific drawer(s)…etc, that you know it needs it

Or go by room, declutter what needs that, and clean each as a whole

Choose the easiest for you, for me, I’m going to choose 2 places I know need decluttering, resetting, and

general cleaning, which is my prob photography corner and vanity

2-digital environment reset 

The same can be implemented here 

Think about which part of your digital space needs decluttering and cleaning. If you have many and you

can’t do it, then just choose one or more as you see fit for you.

i would recommend choosing if you have many places instead of doing them all,

while keeping a list that

You can work through it later. Choose the one that has been weighing on your mind or is overdue

Here is what I am doing:

Organize notion, delete junk emails, unsubscribe from newsletters i don’t want anymore,

Or the ones i don’t remember signing up for, organize files, and make a backup of them on the hard disk 

3-life reset

1-Decide the important areas to you and areas you have been meaning to get to

But not yet, and want to focus on it in the next 6 months

Wellness, self-care, hobbies, finances, health, religion, etc

2-then think of what goals, habits, or activities you want to set in them? How can you make it easy to do?

If you have goals or habits already in them.

Then, think about what will keep and let go of them? Then reset the new ones you want

4-goals reset

After you’ve done the reflection, now is the time to set new ones

Here are the steps in question format

1-Look at the goals you set at the beginning of the year,

which ones do you want to keep, and which ones do you want to forfeit? why?

2-What new goals do you want to set instead? What do you want to achieve?

3-Who is the version of you that achieves these goals? Define it, then act as if daily

4-What habits can you adopt that will make pursuing your goals and the upcoming 6 months easy?

5-How do you feel about your plan? Adjust if you need to,

don’t feel pressured to do and have more goals just because it’s the norm, do what’s best for you

5-enjoyment reset

Joy can take the back seat for many of us when life gets busy

or just immersed in the day-to-day, and we end up forgetting to feel joy.

Our days blend together, and nothing feels exciting or fun.

Things feel boring, you feel apathetic, or worse 

That’s why it’s important to intentionally

Set joy goals, habits, or activities so you don’t forget about them

You can go big or small. For that, ask yourself:

What habits, goals, or activities can you adopt to make the next 6 months filled with joy, fun, and excitement? 

I would like to focus on having a habit that sparks joy for me, which is reading daily

And plan activities throughout the week or month that spark joy for me.
