Mid-Year Reset: 5 Powerful Questions for Self-Reflection and Renewal
We're halfway through the year – a perfect time to pause, reflect, and re-energize. As Taylor Swift said, we're all "curious cats in a big world," always seeking to know and understand ourselves better. Self-reflection is a powerful tool for personal growth.
Traditional goal setting and self-reflection may elicit feelings of shame and further propel the internal negative self-talk. Open-ended questions allow for more freedom and authentic truths to come through. I encourage my patients to get curious about what comes up when thinking or writing about reflection questions. Allow for all things to come up and move through without judgment. You might surprise yourself!
5 Mid-Year Self-Reflection Questions to Spark Growth and Revitalize Your Spirit
What change would help you to sleep better at night (literally or metaphorically)?
You deserve to rest peacefully. Maybe there is shit you have to let go of, perhaps you need to spend more time in nature, or maybe you have to watch the news less. Only you know, and you do know.
What was the last conversation you had that felt like a blood transfusion?
Who are the people who revitalize and nourish your spirit? How can you cultivate more moments of connection?
What ideas do you have about yourself that need to be composted?
We evolve, grow, and change. Sometimes, we wake up one day at a job, in a life, or in a body we no longer recognize with thoughts and beliefs that no longer serve us. Are there limiting beliefs or outdated stories holding you back? It might be time to say thank you, give them to the earth, and let them go to make space for new and fresh ideas.
How can you resource support (from a friend, a therapist, a mentor, or even the universe) to accomplish a goal you have for 2024?
What kind of support do you need to thrive and achieve your dreams?
What brings you hope?
Making a list of things, places, people, moments, and memories that make you feel hopeful can help us feel anchored, rooted, and optimistic even amid change.
