Currently Playing: Mid-year Reset (Better late than never) | 2025

OPEN ME!: I meant to film this at the beginning of the month but oh well, better late than never, right? Join me for a slow and gentle (and super cozy) mid-year reset. The year is more than half done but there's still several months left, so I wanted to get really intentional and strategic about how I approach these last several months of 2025. In this vlog I share my 10 step/15 question mid-year reset plan. You could probably do this in about an hour or so and I think it would be time well spent. I also share my answers to some of the prompts/questions and what some of my goals and intentions are for the rest of 2025. I hope you enjoy! :) xx #writerslife #cozyvlog #indieauthor #lifeinmy40s Preview - 00:00 How I’m doing a mid-year reset - 00:23 Why doing a reset is important - 07:30 Magical moments & what I’ve accomplished so far - 10:01 The reset questions - 23:48 Sharing some of my reflections & goals - 26:11 Wrap up - 39:17 Steps/Tasks 1. Gather your journal, planner, any start of year notes/plans/workbooks you did in January 2. Get a fun drink and/or snack and get comfortable & cozy 3. Review the Questions - don’t think of answers yet, just skim through them 4. Read back through any start of year journaling/planning you did in January 5. Open a fresh page in your journal or notebook OR create a blank word document 6. Write down EVERYTHING (big or small) that you have accomplished so far in 2025, whether it was one of your original tasks/goals or not 7. Write down as many things you’re grateful for and/or moments of magic from the first part of 2025 8. Start working through the Questions, keeping your accomplishments and moments of magic and gratitude in mind 9. Set up your planner for the next week and/or month to help you work towards the priorities and goals you set in the Questions 10. Set your planner, journal, etc aside and go for a walk, read a book, take a nap, watch a movie, whatever feels good. The Questions: 1. What is my word of the year? (If you picked one in January) 2. Is this word still working for me? How has it shown up in my life in the last 6 months? 3. What thoughts are taking up space/energy in my mind, heart, soul? 4. What do I need right now? How can I give myself that in some way? 5. What is working well right now? What feels good? 6. Are my routines working? What changes do I need/want to make? 7. What surprises have I had so far this year? 8. What’s been amazing in the first 6 months? What positive memories have been made? 9. What moments of magic have filled the first half of this year? 10. What moments of magic do I want to look for and/or create in the second half of the year? 11. What do I want LESS of in the the second half of this year? 12. What do I want MORE of in the second half of this year? 13. How do I want the rest of this year to FEEL? 14. What will I prioritize to feel that way? 15. What are 3 goals I want to accomplish by the end of 2025?
