Can you believe that we are quickly approaching the halfway mark of 2022?!
As you reach the midway point of the year, it seems like a natural time to reflect and ask how are you doing with those goals and resolutions you set at the beginning of the year. Are they still top of mind? Are you making progress or have some of them slipped off your radar?
If some of your goals got pushed to the backburner, then consider these five ways to get back on track.
Five Ways to Revive Your 2022 Goals
Assess — If you have goals that you have not paid much attention to it’s important to first stop to consider if those goals are still important to you. What was your why for setting the goal in the first place? If you find that some goals just don’t resonate with you anymore, then there’s no crime in letting them go.
Prioritize — It’s easy to get ambitious at the start of a new year and set too many goals at once. It’s important to be realistic about the demands on your time and to recognize that trying to spread yourself too thin could leave you with goals unfulfilled. By setting priorities, you can create a realistic timeline mapping out all of the steps needed to move you closer to your goals and then determine a reasonable action plan.
Track Your Progress — According to a 2014 study, 33% of those who failed to achieve their goals did not track their progress. Use an app, habit tracker, or good old notebook to set up a system that will help you consistently track your progress.
Evaluate — Set aside time on a consistent basis to review your progress so you can see what’s working and where you may be struggling or need to consider a new approach.
Celebrate Along the Way — While the journey to achieving your goal may be challenging it should also include moments of joy. It’s important to celebrate wins, both big and small, along the way. Consider rewarding yourself when you hit key milestones. At the end of the day, if it’s not fun, it’s not worth doing!

It can be so helpful to reevaluate halfway through the year. I am all for celebrating your wins. I am trying not to be so hard on myself while trying to get back on track
Yes. In fact I am working on a post about my progress mid year.
I reached some already and others I need to work on.
Thanks for the reminder. Especially since I do not have monthly goals.
These are great tips, Michelle, and so timely!
Yep, the midway point is a great time to reassess. Funny how those goals we set in January can look so different now!
I immediately thought of the “assessment” aspect before reading …and you nailed it! Some goals (while valid) just don’t resonate or spark any action within us.
I am all about the assessment and celebration. It’s so important to keep checking in with yourself and making adjustments along the way.
These are spot on and a HUGE reminder at this time of year when some of the excitement we had at the beginning of the year has waned (or some goals even forgotten completely!). I will need to do an official check in on all my goals — and as you say, it’s time to prioritise. Maybe something that seemed cool at the start of the year is no longer what I want.
