Time For A Mid-Year Life Audit

We’re officially 6 months into the year. It feels like we just ushered in 2023 the other day, but in exactly another 6 months we’ll be saying goodbye to 2023 and hello to 2024! It’s crazy how time flies.

In the spirit of celebrating the half-way mark into 2023, I’d like to invite you to join me in performing a Mid-Year Life Audit. Think of this audit as a time to take a pause and reflect on how the year has been so far.

If possible, take some time off work or utilize the coming weekend and reflect on both your personal and professional life:

• Are you where you thought you would be by this time of the year? 

• Are you making progress on the goals you set for yourself? If not, how do you get back on track? If yes, that’s amazing! How can you keep up the pace for the rest of the year?

• Are your goals still relevant or have things changed? How have they changed? Can you adjust the goals to accommodate the change?

• Where (who, what) do you want to be in 6 months time?

The goals could be as small as learning a new skill or as big as getting a promotion or starting a new job.

One thing to remember is that goals are subjective. What is a big goal to you could be a small goal to someone else and vice versa so stay true to yourself and be kind to yourself. Understand WHAT you want to achieve, WHY you want to achieve it to uncover the motivation behind it then figure out the HOW. Make sure to breakdown the HOW into a plan that is SMART and sustainable in the long-run. (Here’s a free e-book to help you build sustainable behaviours)

As I embark on this exercise in the course of the month, I’ll share with you in the next article what Life Audit Framework worked best for me and why. If you get a chance to do yours or have done one before, feel free to share with me the framework you like best and why.

Lastly if you’d like me to run a virtual workshop where I guide you through the Mid-Year Life Audit Exercise, please respond to this email with the word “WORKSHOP” or write the word “WORKSHOP, with your email address” in the comment section. If enough people are interested, I’ll share the date and time of the workshop in the next article.

Until then, here’s to a great week and an intentional second half of the year.
