Feeling Stuck Mid-Month/Mid-Quarter? Try This Gentle Reset to Recalibrate Reader, now that it's mid-May you may be feeling your energy starting to dip. Summer’s around the corner, but not quite here. And in the meantime, it’s easy to feel scattered, sluggish, or unmotivated. That’s perfectly normal. But you don’t need to wait for June — or a fresh goal cycle — to feel better about where you’re headed. A simple mid-month reset can help you realign with what actually matters … without blowing up your to-do list or bulldozing your energy. Not a dramatic reinvention. Not a pressure-filled productivity push. Just a simple, intentional recalibration that helps you reconnect with what matters most — so you can move through the rest of the month with more clarity, energy, and confidence. A Reset, Not a RestartYou don’t need a brand-new strategy — just a gentle, intentional check-in. Think of it as nurturing your way forward, not pushing harder. It’s about tending to what you care about most in a way that serves and fuels you. Here are five ways you could achieve a mid-month reset this week:

That’s where this "trick" I discovered with milestones comes in ... Yes, we usually think of milestones as personal progress markers.

Celebrate More. Hustle Less Hey Reader, Ever seen a toddler take their first step? The room erupts. Clapping, cheering, maybe even tears. One tiny step … and we instinctively know it’s a big deal. But somewhere between baby steps and business plans, we stop celebrating progress like that. We wait for big milestones — the revenue leap, the launch, the polished result — and skip right past the smaller wins that actually get us there. This week, I want to challenge that.
