The Half Year Reset: how to turn your year around

It's halfway through the year and all I've done is eat cereal. This is a simple method to reset and take control over the 2nd half of the year :)

Here's the Half Year Reset:

"Setting up a camera! What's next? Terraforming Mars?!?!"
I had to pause the video because I fell into a fit of giggles. I struggle with ADHD, and this is my brain about literally everything.

This video is precious. I'm not a parent, but I caught myself smiling every time you came to the realization that your daughter is THE goal-setter. She is THE reason for all of your future choices and decisions, and that is beautiful. This video also shows that your journaling exercise actually works since we saw it happen in real-time. 👍

Your 'holy shit, man' moment just gave me the exact same 'holy shit man' moment. I've been seeing my work and my kids as opposing forces for 7 years. This changes everything 🤯

I'm a High School teacher with a new batch of seminar students (we get freshmen and keep them all four years in a seminar hour) and we're definitely using this and your other videos to set and achieve goals this year. The mindset stuff was awesome with my seniors last year. Thanks for the content!

Awwww. I came for the motivation but stayed for the cool dad feels. It's true--our kids are depending on us to be our best selves so we don't perpetuate the cycle 🎉

"What's next?! Terraforming mars?!" hahaha. my brain with any minor inconvenience.
Thank you for this - wonderful as always!

As someone who never had a father who was present--and I am sure there's a lot of people watching this who can relate--your excitement and love for your child is amazing, don't ever feel embarrassed by it. 🖤🤗 Also thank you for these videos.

You’re easily my favourite YouTuber lately, thank you 😊

I'm in my early twenties, fairly fit. Can do a (real) muscle up and pistol squats. Beginning of the year I wanted to run an Ironman. My first time going for a proper long run outside I had an asthma attack and I'm having so much leg pain I'm using my old cane again, which I haven't needed since I started getting daily exercise. I wanted to motivate myself to become even fitter to help combat all the issues with my body, and my body ended up telling me no with a hell of a reality check.

Instead of running an Ironman, I've finally decided to go back to the doctors and try to get diagnosed and treated for my chronic pain and joint issues.
I'm currently seeing a physio who is actually helping more than I thought and have an appointment booked with a podiatrist for my foot. Started to realise that I can't just grit my teeth through everything in life and a little bit of help can be a huge difference.

Who knows, maybe I'll run an Ironman the next time it comes to my city in a few years. Maybe I'll even make it on the podium. Sure as hell won't be doing any of that until I start to take care of myself though

The fact the template for this is just freely available (not even a sign up form!!!) Blows my mind 🤯

Randomly remembered this video and thought it's time to give it a go considering it's just over halfway through the year! Love your work mate.

I don't have kids but I most definitely want to live in a world with parents who love their kids. Not corny at all.

[ElowenFaye]

I love how your eyes sparke when you talk about your daughter! 💖

[aditiohreally]

I’m five months pregnant and genuinely moved by your enthusiasm for your kid. I’m so excited to meet mine and I feel inspired to reframe goals that appear to be in opposition to parenting as in service to parenting!!! So sweet. Thank you!

“Dad” looks great on you! You look the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever seen💚💚💚

2 hours and a whole giant Notion journal entry later and I'm FINALLY done with this video. I love the addition of why do you deserve it and your example of "her father deserves it", because it made me also look outside of myself at the person I am from someone else's eyes. That can often be the hardest part to write, so here's mine as an example for anyone else struggling to look outside themselves here:

Because I work with more fire than nearly every person I know, and other people I know are not be as dedicated as I am to seeing things through..I deserve to show that same amount of fire and dedication to my own ambitions and goals, not just furthering the ambitions of those around me.

I can’t believe how brave you are. Your vulnerability is EXTREMELY helpful. I am 57 and have not reached a major life goal. Motivation is scarce sometimes. This helps me so much!!

I was spiralling due to my ADHD and this video is GODSEND! I cannot thank you enough. This "Half Year Reset" journal template is incredible and I cannot wait to fill them up! Love seeing the joy in your eyes as a new parent ☺Keep up the good work!💛

[rea_keebz]

i did this reset last year and i did it again this year! it is such a great resource! i modified it a bit for myself, because when i first did it i was in a bit of a quarter life crisis lol so i also used it to check in on my long term goals, and it really really helped. it was amazing to do this year as well. it just gets you thinking in all the right ways. thank you for the booklet, and thank you for this video!

I love your passion for parenting. I've raised two children and currently have five grandchildren and can't imagine life without them. I also loved the video and the handout and will be working through it myself. I could definitely use a reset.
