Mid Year Reset: Re-Align & Re-Focus

August 6, 2023

As we find ourselves in the midst of the year, consider this friendly reminder to take a moment and realign with our goals. While summer offers excitement and enjoyment, it's essential to pause, refocus, and reconnect with our inner desires and aspirations. Take the time to revisit your vision boards, both the long-term and short-term goals you've set, and even your plans for the year 2024 – encompassing everything you wish to achieve and beyond.

This mid-year reflection is an opportunity to reassess, reevaluate, and reignite the passion within us. By delving into what we truly want out of life, we can pave the way for a more purposeful and fulfilling journey ahead. So let's embrace this moment of introspection and propel ourselves towards a future that aligns with our deepest aspirations. Remember, you have the power to shape the life you desire and more.

FOCUS

It's time to get serious about YOUR LIFE.... My birthday falls in mid-July, and every year, I devote three to four days afterwards to go over EVERY element of my life, from documents and files to my plans/goals for the years to come. This has become a regular occurrence for me, proactively taking place two to three times a year, normally in January, July, and December, with additional checkups in between. By following this practice, I am able to stay focused on the substantial task at hand yet avoiding distractions (people/habits/etc).

These focused times of reflection provide me with valuable insights into my accomplishments and opportunities for growth, encouraging me to set a more purposeful direction for the future. It has become a grounding practice for me, allowing me to keep on track with my goals and preserve a feeling of clarity in the face of life's unpredictability. I've found better peace of mind and a stronger sense of direction in my path by embracing this habit.

DON'T FORGET: Certain unexpected things can easily disrupt your life's course. Life will consistently test you, so it's crucial to remain focused at all times!

“Your life is controlled by what you focus on." Tony Robbins

START ALIGNING

To maintain your shine, it's essential to start aligning your life. If you often feel off-track without knowing why, or if you seem to regain focus temporarily only to fall out of your routine again, thats a clear sign you haven't been reflecting and aligning enough. Really take a moment to identify what is throwing you off and the distractions hindering your progress repeatedly. Engage in more introspection and self-reflection.

Dedicating time to look within is crucial because without it, you cannot achieve alignment, inner security, or control over yourself. All these aspects are deeply interconnected and significantly impact your well-being—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Embrace the practice of self-awareness and mindfulness to ensure a harmonious balance between your body, mind, and soul, fostering a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

I deeply encourage you to start doing these little things as they have the potential to bring about meaningful changes in your life. You'll notice subtle yet essential improvements in various aspects of your daily existence. Experience the liberating feeling of a weight being lifted off your shoulders, leaving you centered, unbothered, and genuinely happy. These small actions can truly make a difference in your overall well-being:

• Meditate using YouTube guided sessions or frequencies to promote inner peace and mindfulness.

• Engage in journaling, expressing thoughts, and life events, culminating in reflections and desired changes.

• Practice mirror work, a self-reflective technique, to enhance self-awareness and self-acceptance.

• Talk to Yourself...Have meaningful conversations with yourself to build a strong relationship and foster personal growth.

• Write down and Document your goals, dreams, budget, files and other aspirations to stay focused and accountable for your ambitions.
  

DO YOU

At the beginning, middle, and end of the day, prioritize yourself and make choices that resonate with your true desires. This is your f*cking life to live, so embrace it with intentional and smart approaches in whatever situation or predicament life places you in.

Really go hard for yourself because no one else will do it for you or provide constant motivation and support. You need to strive to be self-reliant and determined to live a great life, focusing solely on competing with your past self. Lack of discipline makes you look/seem disorganized, messy, all over the place and overall reflects negatively on your appearance and progress. So, start again, persevere, and Keep Trying, as that's all we can do to EVOLVE.
