July marks halfway through the year-- and the perfect time for some reflection on your year so far.

Try to take a half hour this week to journal about the following questions. (Really! Open up your calendar right now and schedule when you'll do this!)

• What’s been your favorite day so far this year? How can you create more of those days?
• What big goals did you set this year? How has your progress been?
• What might you need to change to reach your goals by the end of the year? What’s the very first step you need to take?
• Check in with the following areas of your life: mental health, financial health, spiritual health, relationships with friends, relationships with family, romantic relationships, relationship with nature, creativity and play, organization, work, sleep.
• What are the top three areas from the list above that might need some extra love for the rest of the year? What might that extra love look like?
• Imagine that it’s December 31st. Summarize what has happened this year. How did you do it? How do you feel?
