The year rolls by, each month going faster than the last it seems, and suddenly you are halfway through it and realize you haven’t quite yet hit those goals you set in January. But… do those goals still even apply?

You’ve gone through so much growth, and it only makes sense that your goals grow alongside you. Six months down, six months to go. It’s the perfect time to sit down, review the goals you set and really ask yourself what you want from the rest of the year.

Here are a few quick steps to review your goals and the last six months, as well as some tips to set yourself up for success in the latter half of the year!

Let's Review Your Goals

Carve Out Time

Your goals should always be a priority. Set aside some dedicated time to review your goals.

Reconnect & Review

This isn’t only about resetting for the remainder of the year but reflecting on all you have accomplished already. You’ve worked hard and you should be proud! Take the time to reflect on the following:

• What are you most proud of?
• What do you want more of?
• What has been working?

Use these answers to help inform your next goals!

Be Honest with Yourself

Now spend some time on the other side of the fence. Sometimes it can be hard to reflect and be honest about roadblocks and resistance, but this can be key to setting attainable goals! Ask yourself:

• What’s changed?
• What hasn’t been working?
• What are your biggest obstacles?

Change the Course, Not the Destination

With your answers in hand, you have a much clearer picture to pull from. From here, you can start piecing together your new, or re-imagined, goals for the remainder of the year. Here are a few things to consider as you embark on your new path:

• 80/20 Rule: This is the theory that 80% of effects are caused by only 20% of causes. So don’t stress that you need to change a large portion of your habits, because even a small percentage of change can have a large impact on you!
• What Still Aligns? Does changing that job, or getting that new house still fit into who you are today? Where you are today? If not, that’s okay! Be honest with what still fits in your life, and remove the things that don’t.
• How do You Want to Feel in 6 Months? Remember those things you were proud of accomplishing? Yeah, you want that to continue, and it can! Keep that front of mind as you reassess goals, and make sure they align.

Most Importantly, Be Gentle with Yourself

Changing isn’t the same as quitting. Who you are today isn’t who you were in January, and it only makes sense that your goals might need to adjust. Letting go of a goal that doesn’t fit into who you are today doesn’t mean you are quitting, that you are lazy, or inconsistent. It just means that you recognize your growth, what’s important to you, and your own boundaries.

Goals grow, just as you do.

Now here are a few tips & resources to help you reach those newly re-prioritized goals!

Audit Your Calendar

• Create more time for the things that matter most. Remove things that don’t align with your goals or cause you unnecessary stress.
• Time Block. Set aside chunks of time for what matters! Trying to start a new habit? Start small. 15 minutes a day, then build!

Reset Your Space

• Take time to declutter. Tidy your desk, purge your closet, or tidy up that junk drawer that’s been driving you crazy.
• Mental space is just as important as the space you inhabit. Take the time for a social media detox, a 20-minute mental break, or some meditation!

Apps for Everything

• New Habit? Download a habit tracker and let technology help you stay accountable! There are multiple resources online to help you find the right fit for you.
• Meal trackers are just as helpful for those health-oriented goals. There are plenty of them out there, find one to fit your style!
  • Tech not your thing? These kinds of trackers are available everywhere physically. From PDF downloads, to journal type trackers!

Build Accountability

Apps are a great start, but it can be easy to silence a notification. Sharing your goals with a friend, family member or coworker can help keep you accountable. Set check-ins at a recurring time to help keep yourself motivated and accountable to your goals!

Start Small, End Big

We’ve all heard it, but Rome wasn’t built in a day. It started with a house. A road. A park… you get the idea. No one expects you to change overnight. Start small. Set aside 15 minutes instead of an hour. Start with one day a week instead of five. Apply to just one job instead of twenty. Then build.

The mid-year point is the perfect time to pause, check in with yourself, and make any shifts you need. These resets aren’t about starting over—they’re about moving forward with more clarity and intention. So take a breath, revisit your goals, and give yourself permission to pivot where it feels right. You’ve still got six months to make this year truly yours—why not start today?
