Welcome to the Tuesday Toots!

​

Can you believe it’s already mid-year?

The weeks have flown by, quietly but quickly. If it feels a little surreal, you're not alone.

That’s the beauty (and mystery) of time: the more engaged you are, the faster it moves.
So take this as your gentle check-in:
Where are you with the goals you set earlier this year?

Mid-Year Is Your Power Pause

Now’s the perfect moment to:

• Reflect on your progress
• Realign your focus
• Reignite that fire

Dreams don’t unfold on their own. They need direction. They need consistency.
They need a plan.

​

5 Strategies to Get Back on Track

If you’ve been feeling stuck, distracted, or off-track, don’t panic. These 5 steps will help you reset and recommit.

1. Set Soul-Aligned Goals That Stick

If it doesn’t come from within, it won’t survive the hard days.
Ask yourself:
​Would I still want this if no one applauded me for it?

Let go of borrowed goals. This is your dream. Make sure it feels like yours.

2. Protect Your Energy Like It’s Gold

Your time and focus are sacred. So is your energy.

Toxic people, doom-scrolling, and self-doubt? Total energy thieves.
- Curate your circle.
- Unfollow drains.
- Practice selective attention—you choose where your energy goes.

“10% of life is what happens to you. 90% is how you react.” – Stephen Covey

3. Break It Down to Build It Up

Big goals can feel overwhelming. So don’t aim for the mountaintop in one leap.

Break it down:
✔ One step
✔ One habit
✔ One task at a time

Progress becomes easier, and way less intimidating.

4. Organise or Agonise

Let’s be honest: when your mind is cluttered, so is your momentum.

Organise your plans.
Use tools like Google Docs, Notion, or even pen and paper.
Plan your week with a 10-minute Sunday reset.
Clarity clears chaos—and confusion.

5. Get an Accountability Partner

You don’t need an army—just one person who keeps it real.

Someone to check in with.
Someone who’ll cheer you on and call you out.
Someone who reminds you: you’ve got this.

Studies show you’re 65% more likely to reach your goal if you check in regularly with someone. Don’t skip this.

​

Final Thought: Do It Daily

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be consistent.

Your goals aren’t a firework—they’re a slow burn.
You water them. You protect them. You show up for them.

​
