3 Tidbits to Reset Your Year Without the Guilt


3 Tidbits to Reset Your Year Without the Guilt

A few days ago, I found a list of goals I wrote back in January.

Scribbled in my barely used diary.

Fresh year. Big energy. Clean, crisp pages.

Six months later?

Some I’m on track for. Some… not even close. 🤣

But here’s what I’ve learned:

You’re not behind. You’re just at halftime. And halftime isn’t about shame, it’s about strategy.

Here are my 3️⃣ tidbits to help you reset and rally for the second half:

1️⃣ 🔁 Reset the Scoreboard

Let go of the old game plan if it no longer fits.

What mattered in January might not match who you are now.

The best teams adjust at halftime. So can you.

2️⃣ 🤔 Reflect With Purpose

Before you charge ahead, pause.

What were you really chasing when you set those goals?

Status? Balance? Impact?

Reconnect with the values beneath the goals. And act.

3️⃣ 🎉 Celebrate the Unseen Wins

Not all progress comes with a KPI.

If you’ve shown up on hard days, set new boundaries, or grown in resilience, that counts.

That’s the grit that carries you forward.

If you are looking to set reset your goals, following these 3 tidbits:

1️⃣ The “why” and the “how”

Behind the goals you set, there should be a why (the inspiration or motivation) and a how (the way you are going to go about it).

And don’t forget to choose the right goal!

2️⃣ Set the goals

Set five goals for the year…

Then do some subtraction for me…

Pick out your top 3 goals and avoid 4 and 5! 4 and 5 are going to distract you from achieving your top 3 goals. Less is more!

3️⃣ Write it down and tell someone

Writing your goals down will make it easier for you to track (an adjust if necessary) and also help you keep focused.

There’s research that says if you tell someone you respect, it improves your chances that you will achieve the goal!

Regardless, whether you meet the goal(s) or not, find fulfilment from the challenges of the climb itself, not just reaching the summit (goal(s)).
