Somewhere between the last PTO request and your third iced coffee of the day, you realized: you’re not burned out exactly, but you’re not fully in it either.
And while the world is out here shouting about vision boards and full life overhauls… you’re just trying to get back to yourself. Without burning sage, spending $300 on a planner, or booking a retreat you don’t actually have time for.
Welcome to your real mid-year reset.
It’s practical. It’s doable. It starts right where you are with small shifts that spark bigger momentum. And yeah, it helps when those shifts come with a few very specific tools.
What Does a Mid-Year Reset Actually Look Like?
It’s not about becoming a new person.
It’s about returning to who you are when the noise gets turned down.
You don’t need to blow up your to-do list or start training for a marathon. You just need a few key recalibrations that remind you: I’m still in charge here.
That starts with your environment, your energy, and your rituals.
The Reset Starts with the Bag You Carry
The energy you carry goes wherever you do and that includes your bag.
If your current tote is 90% receipts, 10% stress, it’s time for an upgrade.
Try this: This Bag Believes in You.
It’s roomy enough for your journal, drinkware, and half your life, but more importantly?
It’s the reminder you didn’t know you needed every time you reach inside.
This tote isn’t just practical. It’s quietly powerful. Like you.
Sip Something That Matches Your Intentions
Hydration is basic. But when it comes from a glass that says “Keep Going”? It hits different.
Set this up as your go-to desk essential. Fill it with lemon water, iced coffee, adrenal mocktails, whatever helps you feel clear.
Because sometimes, all it takes is a 16oz reminder that you’re still in motion.
Write It Down. No Overthinking Required.
A journal doesn’t need to be beautiful or profound to be effective.
But it does need to exist.
The Words to Live By journal is for exactly that - affirmations, quotes, mindset shifts, podcast gems. No pressure. No structure. Just a smart, feel-good place to come back to yourself.
Start your mornings with one line:
What do I want to feel today?
That alone can shift the entire trajectory of your next eight hours.
Create One Ritual That Signals: This Is My Reset
You don’t need 12 steps. You need one solid anchor.
- Light the Breakthrough Candle while you answer emails.
- Sit in the car for two extra minutes after errands and breathe with both hands on the wheel.
- Pull out your To Do List mug and start with the smallest win.
These aren’t chores. They’re shifts.
Q: How Do You Know If You Need a Mid-Year Reset?
A: You feel busy but not productive. Grateful but lowkey resentful. Motivated but only after your third scroll through Zillow.
You don’t need to blow everything up. You just need to recalibrate the parts that are asking for
your attention. And when you do? The energy returns.
Q: What’s the Best Way to Start a Reset?
A: Start small enough that you don’t quit.
- Drink from the cup that reminds you.
- Write down the thought you keep forgetting.
- Carry the tote that carries you.
Reset isn’t a luxury; it’s a life skill. And you’ve already got what it takes.
