Well, six months of the year are nearly over and it’s time to review the year thus far.

I do a slightly longer version of my monthly review with a bit more detail to flesh things about a bit.

Will you join me?

1. Get comfortable with your bullet journal, a beverage of your choice and a nice pen.
2. Answer the questions honestly to gain insights.
3. Set a few new goals for the second half of the year.
4. Get some accountability (like-minded friend, or a coach – I would love to coach you)

Right, let’s get to the questions:

1. What went well during the first half of the year? Why?
2. What didn’t work out so well? Why?
3. Were there any detours or obstacles? How did you navigate them?
4. What did you learn about yourself?
5. How are your relationships doing?
6. What do you need to let go of? Feelings, expectations, projects, etc?
7. If you chose a word of the year, how is your word working out for you? If it’s not working, could you change your word?
8. On a scale of 1 – 10, how has the year been so far?

At this point, rewrite the goals you still want on a fresh piece of paper in your bullet journal. This will help you have a clean start. July is the new Jan 🙂

If you’re “over” the notion of goals, why don’t you set a few broad intentions for the year ahead, like this:

1. For the rest of the year, I want to feel _____________ in my relationships with my family and friends (connected/ loving/ generous)
2. I choose to let go of _________________________ (the expectation that…../ comparison/ the kids’ bathroom project)
3. I want more _________________ in my life (joy/ love/ peace/ order/ beauty/ creativity)
4. I want less ____________________ (chaos/ toxicity/ stress/ overwhelm/ lack)
5. I want to give myself the gift of ___________________ (acceptance/ 15 minutes a day to read/ time to nourish my body by moving)

Has this helped?

On a scale of 1 – 10, how has your year been thus far? What are you looking forward to in the second half of the year?
