We are half-way through 2026, friend. Can you believe it?
The past 6 months have felt really…. fast. Life is really wonderful —it’s great (and I’m so grateful)… Buuuuuut sometimes (like lately), I can find myself so zoomed in on what I need to do right-this-minute-TODAY, that I can find myself sort of treading water through life rather than swimming towards anything specific. Do you ever find yourself feeling that way?
I mean, I get it… Life is gloriously FULL! And of course we’ve gotta run the errands, do the chores, and do the work that needs to be done (that isn’t necessarily all exciting or fun or glamorous)…. but I also know that if I’m just surviving my to-do list each day, I’ll soon feel too much like a robot & start to get cranky. :)
My soul needs dreams and visions and goals to work toward… and ideas to ponder... and adventures to go on… and synchronicities to experience… and lots of sunshine… and time to be creative… and white space in my schedule… and chances to soak up the beauty of nature… and deep groovy conversations with friends….
And all of those things are available and possible… but I sometimes need to sloooooow down and remind myself about how much I want them… and then I need to (put my phone down and) make time & space for them in my life. I need to focus.
I’m definitely feeling the need to clarify my focus & re-set. I can feel my need to pause and really check-in with my body, mind, heart, spirit, dreams, and goals…. I want to get more clear so I can be more intentional with my energy going into this second half of the year.
How about you, friend? How are you feeling? Is this good timing for you too?
Want to join me in a mid-year check-in & re-set? We can even start right now by taking a few minutes to explore questions like…
(use these or any that feel right to you)
We can look back at the past 6 months:
What’s been working well?
What isn’t working well?
What has felt like fuel (energizing, uplifting…)?
What has felt more draining?
We can tune-in:
How is your health & energy these days?
How do you feel regarding your sense of purpose?
How are your relationships/connections feeling?
How about your sense of personal growth, learning, joy, & fun?
What is your body craving more of? How about your mind? Heart? Spirit?
What makes you feel joyfully alive and excited?
Priorities & habits
What are your top 3 priorities right now?
What key habits will help you with those priorities?
How can you anchor those habits into your daily/weekly routine?
What do you need to say no to so that you’ll have time and energy to focus on your priorities?
Any other questions popping up for you? Anything you’d add?
Or here’s another approach we can take: simply take some time to pause — to sit, or dance, or walk with yourself— and ask yourself this question: “Ok, self… what am I needing right now?” As in… in my life. And just see what answer comes up from within…. Perhaps even just one word, image, mantra, sensation, or vision will bubble up from within to guide you forward. It could be anything… Maybe it is something like connection… or purpose… or joy…. or friendship… or rest… or ease…
What is your inner self telling you?
As always, we’ll come together… We’ll dance, explore, and share what we discover… But please also know that I’m always here and always would love to hear from you anytime… Does any of this resonate? Call me, text me, email me. I’m here & really grateful to get to surf the waves of life with you.
See you soon!
With love,
💛 Dani
