Thoughtful Therapy

July has just started, which means we are about halfway through 2015. It's time, once again, to check in on your resolutions. Remember resolutions? Those ideas you had in January for how to improve yourself and your life? Somehow they don't seem nearly as exciting and motivating in the hot summer as they do at the beginning of the year.

All the same, it's a good time to evaluate the progress you have made toward those goals.

Think back to January, or pull out your list of resolutions.

What's on the list? What kind of progress have you made toward these goals?

Are these goals still valid, still something you want to pursue? Is there anything you want to change about them? Increase or decrease something, or add or subtract something?

Make sure to give yourself credit for anything you have accomplished, and don't beat yourself up for anything that has fallen by the wayside. If those resolutions in the gutter are ones you want to dig out and restart, do that. Tell yourself not to give up, that you can get back on track at any time you choose. You don't have to wait for the beginning of a year to start, start again, or pick up where you left off.

Don't give up!
