God has been nudging me to reconnect with you and serve you with more than just short soundbites on social media, so here I am!

It's hard to believe that we're halfway through 2023. I've been reflecting on the year so far (there have been a LOT of changes) resetting my intentions, and recharging my batteries. I highly recommend taking time to review now and then.

My prayer is that today's coaching moment will help you to prepare to finish this year well.

Reflect, reset, and recharge for a strong finish to 2023

Take Stock: Reflect and Celebrate

The end of June is the perfect time to reflect and express gratitude for how far you've come this year.

What wins are you celebrating this year? Celebrate your small victories too—ever single one counts!

Recalibrate: Renew Your Intentions

Life is a work in progress, continually shaped by the decisions we make. It's okay if you've stumbled or even changed your mind about some things. Maybe it's time to recalibrate the goals you started out with. There's absolutely no shame in that. Let's break it down:

1. Reflect on your initial goals: What did you set out to achieve at the start of the year? Do those goals still hold up, or has life got you playing a different tune?

2. Identify Challenges: We've all faced challenges. The important thing is to become more aware of the impact they've had, and strategize. How will you get over the hurdles and continue your race? Working out how to navigate the challenges you've faced will help you plan more effectively.

3. Get clear about God's plan for your life: Quiet your mind, pray, meditate, and seek God's direction. Ask Him to show you His plans for you and guide you as you realign your purpose and vision.

Visualize your future: set inspiring goals for the rest of the year

Set time aside to dream big with God.

1. Dream without Restrictions: What could your life look like by year-end without self-imposed restrictions? Give your imagination free reign.

2. Translate Dreams into Goals: It’s lovely to dream. But our dreams will remain just dreams if you don't convert them into achievable, specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals.

3. Visualize with Faith: Trust that God will guide you towards achieving your goals. Visualize yourself succeeding, and remember that you can do all things through God who strengthens you.

Take action: Plan with God

Don't wait passively for things to happen—actively co-create your life with Him. Here's how:

1. Pray for Guidance: Start each day remembering who you are in Jesus and asking for wisdom and direction.

2. Develop an Action Plan: Break down your goals into bite-sized tasks. Map them out, pencil them in, and decide how you'll tackle each one and when.

3. Stay Committed: Keep your eyes on the prize! Stay focused and committed. Life may throw curveballs now and then—ask God to help you adapt and keep on progressing.

4. Practice Gratitude: Thank God for every step forward, no matter how small. Being thankful will help to keep you anchored and open to more blessings.

Wrapping Up

You’ve still got a good half year, and that's a lot of time to move towards making your God-given dreams come true. Reflect, renew, visualize, plan, and act—remember, you've got God as your co-pilot. Let's finish 2023 on a high note together!

If you're

• Sensing that it's time to make some changes
• Feel like you're going through the motions and not getting very far
• Seriously hoping there's more to life than you're experiencing right now but don't know what it is...

This free training will help you to get clear about what God put you on earth to do and design your life in a way that enables you to fulfil God's calling on your life.

You'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. Phil 4:8 MSG

Be blessed to be a blessing,
