Areas of Your Life to Reset
When you plan on doing a reset, whether it is a mid-year reset or any other time of the year, it is a great idea to reset multiple areas of your life. Many people stick to just one area, like their personal goals or their career, but there are so many different things you should be focusing on.
Personal Goals
Resetting your personal goals is crucial for ongoing growth and satisfaction. Take time to review the goals you set at the beginning of the year. Assess your progress and determine if those goals still align with your current priorities and desires. If necessary, adjust or set new goals that are more relevant to where you are now. Having clear, updated goals provides direction and motivation, helping you stay focused on what truly matters to you.
Physical Health
Your physical health is a fundamental area to reset. Evaluate your current diet, exercise routine, and sleep patterns. Identify areas where you can make improvements, such as incorporating more nutritious foods, finding a physical activity you enjoy, or establishing a consistent sleep schedule. Prioritizing your physical health boosts your energy levels, enhances your mood, and supports overall wellbeing, allowing you to tackle daily challenges more effectively.
Mental and Emotional Wellbeing
Mental and emotional wellbeing is essential for a balanced life. Reflect on your mental health and emotional state. Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, or burnout? Incorporate practices that promote mental and emotional health, such as mindfulness, meditation, or talking to a therapist. Taking steps to care for your mental and emotional wellbeing helps you manage stress better and maintain a positive outlook on life.
Relationships
Healthy relationships are vital for your wellbeing. Take stock of your relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. Identify any conflicts or areas of tension and consider ways to improve communication and strengthen these connections. Foster relationships that are supportive and positive, and don’t hesitate to set boundaries with those that drain your energy. Nurturing healthy relationships provides emotional support and enhances your overall quality of life.
Career and Professional Growth
Resetting your career and professional growth can lead to greater fulfillment and success. Evaluate your current job satisfaction and career trajectory. Identify skills you need to develop or new opportunities to pursue. Set professional development goals and create a plan to achieve them. Whether it’s seeking a promotion, changing careers, or acquiring new skills, focusing on your career growth helps you stay motivated and engaged in your work.
Financial Health
Financial health is a key aspect of your overall wellbeing. Review your budget, savings, and spending habits. Identify areas where you can cut costs or save more. Set financial goals such as paying off debt, building an emergency fund, or investing for the future. Managing your finances effectively reduces stress and provides a sense of security, allowing you to focus on other areas of your life.
Environment
Your environment significantly impacts your mood and productivity. Take time to declutter and organize your living and working spaces. Create an environment that is clean, comfortable, and inspiring. Consider adding elements that boost your mood, such as plants, artwork, or natural light. A well-organized and pleasant environment enhances your daily life and supports your wellbeing.
Personal Growth and Learning
Continual personal growth and learning are vital for long-term satisfaction. Reflect on areas where you want to grow or new skills you wish to acquire. Pursue activities that challenge and inspire you, such as taking a class, reading books, or engaging in creative hobbies. Investing in your personal growth keeps your mind sharp and helps you discover new passions and interests.

This sounds like a lot of work 😉
I for sure did the Physical Health part last December, and I am happy with the results. AS for the other aspects of life I don’t feel like I would want to structure my goals. I’ve always tended do listen to your gut and react as you go if that makes sense. If something felt good, I pursued it, if it didn’t I changed course.
Dominique
That works. Especially if you gut is well tuned as yours is. If it’s working, don’t mess with it!

I love a good reboot!!! So powerful. I recently took a sabbatical and coming back, I do feel like I am in a reset in all these areas. Great things to ponder. Thank you for sharing.
Dominique

This is so timely, what with today being the new moon and all. And I am, indeed, thinking about changes I want to make.

My physical and mental health is always on my most important list.The rest I add and subtract. Some of the other’s go behind making my mental health better so it’s a good focus.Loved this talk about reset in July when the mid year slump needs a kick .
Dominique
Yeah, July is a good time to look at what you originally planned for the year and how it is going or not. I need to do some resetting of my own. Big plans didn’t go the way I planned, so on and so on. I need to create a new plan!

I do this every New Years! Mainly for personal growth and learning, but you have added so many different areas to look into! Thanks for the inspiration. I look forward to your next post!
