Where has the first half of the year gone? It has passed me by in a bit of a blur. I have just looked at the goals post I did at the start of the year and it has made me chuckle – who was I kidding?! Life has a way of throwing great obstacles in our way, the path is never smooth but that’s ok, that’s part of life.
It was a doozy of a start to the year. Three weeks into January, my husband (in his mid-forties) had a stroke. This was just after he lost his job in December. Thankfully, he is fully recovered now, and also happily in new employment. Two of my three sons had BIG exams this spring/summer, with talk of heading to university or college, I home-educate two of the three so the weight of pressure to get them through the exams was heavy. I also had a botched tooth extraction which left me in a lot of pain for over two months. I was completely exhausted with it all.
Now that I have time to breathe, I am proud of the fact that this time, I took a pause on some things but came back to them. I didn’t just give up entirely because I had to stop for a while. For me, this is progress. And now that I have started back up again, I realise just how much I enjoy writing on here. And for the second half of this year I am going to make it more of a priority.
My mid-year goals have a focus on replenishing my well and getting back to joy:
- Get out in nature every single day.
- Write anything I like, without worry, and as often as I feel the need to. With a beautiful candle burning.
- Rest when I need to.
- Find joy in the little things
- Eat nourishing foods.
- Ugh yes drink lots of water (anyone else hate this goal?! but I do feel better when I do it so it is going on the list!)
- Look into starting a newsletter
Do you have a mid-year reset and plans for the second half of the year?
