Hello, my fearless friend! It's time to unleash your awesomeness so you can make the last half of 2023 the BEST half!
Can you believe we've reached the midpoint of the year? I was talking with a colleague, and we agreed that 2023 is just flying by. This is a good time to look at your progress: reevaluate, redefine, and reset goals so you can finish the year with a bang! I found some super-powered strategies to conquer the last half of the year and I wanted to share them with you.
Reflect and Reset: No Time for Midyear Meltdowns!
First let's take a breather and reflect on how far we've come. Don't panic if you haven't achieved all your goals yet. We're in this together, and anyway, midyear meltdowns are a terrible use of your precious energy! Take a moment to celebrate the victories and learn from your defeats. Recognizing how far you have come (and haven’t) is step numero uno when channeling your inner superhero.
Setting SMART Goals: It's Time to Get Specific and Kick Some A**
We have been talking about SMART goals for forever, but I swear I still catch myself making not-so-smart goals. The biggest benefit is that the SMART goals take critical thinking, planning, and force you to be specific. Don't just aim to be "better at stuff" or "more successful." Be the hero with a mission. Break down your big, audacious goals into bite-sized chunks. Give yourself deadlines to keep you on track and motivated to conquer the world.
