A Mid-Year Challenge: Rejoice. Reflect. Refocus. Realign. Recommit.

As we cross the halfway point of the year, I challenge you—not just encourage you—to pause and intentionally take stock of where you are and where you’re headed.

Rejoice

Rejoice in the freedom to choose your path. Whether you continue down the road you’re on or shift direction, you have the power to shape your journey. Celebrate that freedom.

Reflect

• What went well in the first six months of the year?

• What would you like to see more of in the next six months?

• What do you want to be known for by year’s end?

• What are you willing—and able—to do to move toward your goals?

Refocus

• Decide what you want—and just as importantly, what you don’t want.
  Then...

Realign: 

• Are your daily actions moving you toward your goals?
  Recommit:

• Make a conscious decision to take action, with clarity and purpose.

Strategies for Success

Here are a few simple, powerful steps to take this month:

• Block quiet time in your calendar to think—yes, schedule it!

• Plan your celebration: When, how, and with whom will you mark progress?

• Write it down: Answer the reflection questions above and record your insights in a way that works for you—on paper, in a note on your phone, or in your calendar.

• Talk it out: Share your thoughts with a trusted friend, mentor, or coach.

• Be honest: Acknowledge what’s worked and what hasn’t.

• Find an accountability partner: Someone who will cheer you on as well as support and challenge you to do your best.

• Make it visible: Put your goals and actions where you’ll see them—calendar, to-do list, or sticky note on your mirror. You choose what works best for you.

💡 Remember - Quitting is not an option. Changing direction is.
