As we step into the second half of 2025, it's the perfect time to pause, refresh our focus and re-energize our commitments. Our future is wide open, awaiting our creativity and determination. 

Here are 3 ways I’m being intentional to rock the second half…

1. Refreshing My Perspective 

Before making any changes, I reflect on how the first 6 months have gone and my current situation. What’s working well in my life, and what isn’t? I ask:

• What brings me joy? 

• Where do I need more freedom?

• What drains my energy? 

• What do I need to let go of (for now)?

• What do I want more of in my life? 

• What are my VIPs in this season?

Recently, I realized that social scrolling was making me sad or angry which is not what I’m going for. So, I decided to make a shift. I’m continuing to shine a light online and share positive, valuable things while also reducing the time spent there and unfollowing anything that isn’t aligned with the energy and outlook that I have. Don’t get me wrong…I’m not putting my head in the sand about the realities of this world or others opinions, I just can’t let myself get stuck in it.  Instead, I invest in things that uplift, educate and inspire—like reading, podcasts, walking my pup or connecting with friends in person.

This self-reflection helps me to clear the mental clutter, make a few adjustments and remember what my true VIPs are right now. A perfect launchpad for the second half!

2. Visualizing a FABULOUS second half 

Now that we have renewed clarity, let’s take a few moments each day to see it come to life. Visualization is not woo. It’s a powerful tool that top performers use daily. So, I close my eyes and picture my ideal scenario on December 31, 2025.  I  lock in and see it. I ask myself how I will FEEL when these things become my reality. I write it down and I visit this ideal place every morning.

That consistency creates even more energy, color and excitement around the things that are most important to me! Now, I check-in to make sure I have the actions or habits scheduled into my curated day to move closer to that ideal. 

This is truly next level transformation! 

Let’s say you want to take better care of yourself—this is the GOAT goal you can have in my opinion. (Translation: GOAT=Greatest Of All Time in case you don’t have teenagers ;))! 

Another J’aime reminder that YOU are your #1 asset for your business, for your family…all of it!!  But I digress…so,  back to “I want to take better care of myself”…what does that look like and feel like to you? Sit with that question for a few moments everyday. If you do, the picture will get clearer and more vibrant, and your brain will start working on how to get there. 

Whatever it is for you…see it, feel it, and create positive energy around the benefits of it to be in your own victory circle at the end of 2025. 

 3. Be That Person Now 

Let’s create what we envision by keeping your focus tight, choosing your #1 VIP in each area below. I know this can freak us overachievers out, so when it does, I remember this high performance and sanity-saving principle:

To be great at anything and have a blast living our lives means we must choose to do fewer things well instead of trying to do it all. 

Breathe that truth bomb in, and make your short, selective list below. I hope my examples spark inspiration. What are your VIPs??

Spiritual: Sacred space every morning to listen, read, and be grateful

Personal: Healthy body, mind, spirit

Relationships: More time with friends

Business: Lock in 3 deals a month

FUN: Massage for me every month & family fun on Sundays!

Now we start embodying the person we want to become by:   

•  Identifying the habits that align with your aspirations. Back to the “I want to take better care of myself” VIP example. Start with more water, a short daily walk, more veggies at dinner and those  great choices add up over time to a healthier you.

•  Setting daily Intentions with action. Each morning, I make a small list of VIP actions for my life & business and commit them to my calendar. Small steps forward for the win!

•  Surrounding yourself with Inspiration: Connect with people who uplift and inspire you. Share your goals. Their energy and commitment can motivate you to stay on track.

I AM so very excited and full of gratitude that I get to focus on these things that make me feel alive, focused and fulfilled!!  How good can it get?? 

Join me as we step into the second half of 2025… it’s the perfect time to hit refresh, recalibrate our VIPs and lead the way forward—where you really want to go.

Remember, the magic of transformation happens in the choices we make moment to moment and when we take care of those moments, the years will take care of themselves.
