Just as a football team eagerly runs out on the field at the beginning of a game eager to implement their winning strategy, we typically choose New Year's Day as our time to start breaking bad habits and forming new ones for the brand new year. Additionally, if you're goal oriented, you may make a written list of the goals you plan to accomplish.
What about half-time? That's the crucial time that a football team gathers to restrategize what they can do better in the second half of the game to keep up with their successes, and improve on their deficiencies and weaknesses. Do you examine your life with the same seriousness that a football team examines how well they are performing in a game? If not, why not?
It's now July, so the bad news is that half of the year is gone. The good news is that you still have the second half of the year to stop those bad habits, form good ones, and make a plan to accomplish your 2012 goals.
During this holiday week, besides taking time off from work to watch fireworks, grill hamburgers, and sit by the pool or on the beach, allow some extra solitude time to examine your life and where you'd like to be by the end of the year. It may be something as simple as reducing your time on FaceBook to twice a week (or twice a day for those heavily addicted) which will allow you to gain extra time in your life for more worthwhile activities, or something as major as making a career change, and formulating a strategy on how to make that change.
Whatever your goals are, six months is plenty of time to accomplish so much in your life! It's only half-time!
