Checking in and Refocusing for the Second Half of the Year
As we hit the midpoint of the year, it’s an excellent time to pause, reflect, and plan for the remainder of the year. This midpoint check-in allows us to assess our progress, celebrate our wins, and refocus on the goals we’ve set for ourselves. We will do this with three easy steps.
1. Checking in on Your Initial Goals
At the beginning of the year, you probably set some goals for yourself. These could have been professional goals, personal goals, or a mix of both. Now, at the six-month mark, it’s time to check in on these goals.
I know I know things got hectic and you had to do this and this other thing came up and so on and so on. If they did or didnt happen then they were or were not that important. It’s okay because we are the mid point of the year and it’s time to determine what will be important and achieved for the second half of the year.
2. Get Clearer, More Concise, and More Focused
After checking in on your initial goals, it’s time to get clearer, more concise, and more focused. If you’ve found that your goals were too broad or too vague, now is the time to refine them.

Remember, it’s better to have a few well-defined goals that you can focus on rather than numerous vague ones.
3. Celebrate the Small Wins and Set New Goals
Just like that story of the rabbit and the turtle be consistent and dedicated like that tortoise. Find what works for you and in taking it one day at a time also make sure you celebrate those small victories. Do not compare and try to set some goals that you see someone else has set for themselves but don’t really work for you. You are a completely different person and you must not compare. If you start and fail a week in, then start again and adjust those expectations on this goals, so that you achieve them. Winning is not the focus but achieving and consistently taking a step in the direction of your goals will yield you with the results you want to see.
No matter how much progress you’ve made on your initial goals, it’s important to acknowledge the small wins. Even if you haven’t reached your overarching objectives, there are undoubtedly smaller milestones that you’ve hit along the way.
Take some time to celebrate these wins. They will provide the motivation you need to tackle the second half of the year head-on.
Once you’ve done that, it’s time to set new goals. These goals should be based on the progress you’ve made so far and the insights you’ve gained from your mid-year check-in.
Remember, the aim isn’t perfection, but progress. As long as you’re moving forward, you’re on the right track.
Now that you have these three tips it time to make time throughout the year to reassess your goals to make sure they still serve you positively now, and into the future. Remember, your goals should change and grow as you do, and it’s okay to change course and set new goals at any time throughout the year. You are never obligated to be the same person you were last year or even 5 minutes ago.
