We are over halfway through 2026, which honestly feels a little unreal...like, where did the first six months of the year go? 😅 This time of year can bring up a kind of low-key panic. You set all…

So step one is to revisit your goals, but here's the catch, as the July version of you.
So I would be willing to bet that your life does not look the same as it did back in November, December, or January when you set some of your 2026 goals.
And I don't feel a single bit bad about editing my goals based on my life right now.
I want you to actually go back, like physically pull up whatever you wrote down in January or whenever you wrote up your 2026 goals, whether it's your planner, your notes app, your notion, your vision board, your winter study hall workbook.
You ready? First one: Does this goal still matter to me? Does this goal still matter to me? And then the next question that I want you to ask: Does this goal still make sense for my life? If you answer no to either of these questions for any of your goals, get rid of it, period.
This is gonna help you weed out goals that are robbing you of your mental energy because you're thinking about how you said you wanted to do X, Y, Z goal, but you haven't yet.
I know in the past, I've set goals that sounded good or that looked good on someone else's vision board, but when it came down to it, it didn't actually align with the vision that I have for my life, right? Like, this is your moment to get real about which goals are yours and which ones are just noise that you picked up somewhere along the way.
Doing this is going to lighten your mental load, and also it's gonna get you excited to pursue fewer, more you-aligned goals.
You know what I'm saying? So that is step number one, revisiting your 2026 goals as the July version of you to make sure you still care about 'em.
