Halfway Through 2025: 9 Journal Prompts for a Mindful Mid-Year Reflection

Somehow, we’re already halfway through the year. Wild, right? If you’re sitting there wondering how the first six months flew by so fast—you’re definitely not alone.

We often begin the year with big energy and clear intentions. We set bold goals, choose our words of the year, and maybe even make vision boards. But then life happens —beautiful, busy, sometimes messy—and those intentions may feel a little distant. 

This is your gentle invitation to pause, check in with yourself, and reconnect with what actually matters to you right now.

A mi-year reflection isn't meant to come from a place of pressure or trying to catch up. It’s an opportunity to come back to what feels aligned, intentional, and true to you.

Below is a simple mid-year reflection process to help you do just that.

Celebrate What’s Working

Before diving into what needs to shift, take a moment to honour what’s been good. Reflect on the progress, the growth, and the small wins you may have overlooked. Try these journal prompts:

• What are you proud of from the first half of the year, big or small?

• Where have you grown, even if it didn’t look like how you expected?

• What has felt aligned, joyful, or meaningful in the first half of the year?

Recognize What Feels Out of Alignment

Now it’s time to notice anything that feels heavy, forced, or no longer serving you. Not everything that made sense in January still needs to fit today—and that’s okay. Try these journal prompts:

• What has felt draining, forced, or misaligned in the first half of the year?

• What is no longer serving you, think about things like habits, rituals, thoughts, expectations, and relationships?

• What are you ready to release heading into the second half of the year?

Reconnect with Your Intention

Whether your year is going as planned or it’s unfolded in totally unexpected ways—this is your invitation to reset and realign to what matters most to you. Try these journal prompts:

• How do you want to feel in the second half of the year?

• What are your intentions for the second half of the year?

• What are you most looking forward to for the second half of the year?

No matter what your first six months looked like, remember, you’re allowed to begin again.

Let this be your invitation to return to yourself, reset your energy, and move forward with more clarity, more intention, and a little more ease.

Happy journaling!
