It's the halfway point of the year.
Are you on track with your goals?
Let's reflect and reset.
Hello my loves. Welcome back to Lavendaire.
Today I'm excited to do a midyear reset.
So it is the halfway point of the year and
it's the perfect time to reflect on
how we've been doing the first half of the year.
And whether we need to readjust and realign
anything to stay on track with our goals
and the life that we're trying to build.
So today's video is kind of
like a journal along with me
where I'll share some journal prompts.
I'll give you time to pause the video
and journal with those prompts.
And then later on,
I'll share my reflection on
my first half of the year.
Feel free to do this in your notebook
or in our Artist of Life Workbook.
This is a Workbook I created to help you plan
and stay on track with all your goals
throughout the year.
I actually am doing a huge sale on the shop
right now just to the end of this month.
If you use the code "MIDYEAR",
you'll get 50% off.
This discount applies to
everything on the shop.
And a lot of the items on the shop
we're actually not going to restock.
Of course we're going to keep making
the Workbook, but some of the items,
if you love them, then definitely
this is your chance to pick them up.
Without further ado, let's begin.
First, let's celebrate our wins.
So the first prompt is:
"What were the wins and highlights
of your first half of 2025?"
If you answer that prompt,
let us know down below:
what was your biggest win
from the year so far?
I'd love to read all your responses.
Moving on. Next prompt.
"What have you learned?
And how have you evolved
in this first half of the year?"
Next, review the goals
that you set at the beginning of the year
and then ask yourself:
what updates need to be made?
Now, ask yourself:
what goals would be the most important
to focus on for the rest of the year?
So pick your top three priorities.
So out of all of your goals,
which three goals would
make the biggest impact?
If you were to do them.
Finally, rate from 1 to 10 how aligned
do you feel towards your dream life.
So, one is not aligned and
then 10 is the most aligned.
You don't have to have reached your dream life
but what I'm asking is:
are you on the right track?
After you've set your rating, ask yourself:
what would it take for it to be a 10?
So what would need to change in your life?
What would you need to change?
What would you need to do differently
in order for you to rate yourself "yes I am a 10
aligned on the path to my dream life".
All right now it's time for me
to share some of my highlights and lessons
from the first half of the year.
So a big highlight that just happened was
I took a month off to travel in Asia,
and I've been sharing vlogs about it.
There are a couple more vlogs to come
but I basically had a girls trip
with some of my friends in Korea.
I did a solo trip for a week.
A little bit like couple days in Korea.
And a week in China.
And then I spent time with my dad in Shanghai
who I have not seen in 6 years.
And my relationship with my dad
had a lot of difficult rocky moments.
It's the most difficult
relationship of my life basically.
But this trip really helped heal and
kind of tie up loose ends
in a lot of ways for me.
So emotionally and in my personal life
I felt like I overcame something really big.
And it's a personal mountain that I climbed.
And so that's something
that I'm really proud of.
It's a highlight as well as a big win for me.
Other wins from this year I felt like I spent more
time with family and friends. My brother
moved back home recently so I've been
spending more time with my brother and
my mom. And in terms of career I feel like
I've been heading in new directions this year
not just starting but really just like in motion
for a lot of projects.
I'm working on my book.
I got a literary agent and I'm
just in the motions of that.
I've been working on an app concept
that I've mentioned with you guys.
Specially if you're on my email list,
you know you've took the survey.
So I've been doing these long-term
behind-the-scenes projects
that are kind of big projects
that take sometime before
I can really like talk about it or
show you guys anything.
So I feel like I've been
working a lot behind the scenes.
But I've also been more creatively inspired
since I got back from my trip.
So I'm more inspired to make more content.
I'm trying to show up more on social media.
Like on Instagram, trying to post more.
And so that's kind of what the
first half of my year has been.
I just remembered another win
definitely worth mentioning here is that
I had two videos on this channel hit 10M views
pretty much around the same time.
So the top two videos are
my 5 minute morning meditation and
my positive affirmations for self-love.
That's just a cool little win because
I never thought that that would happen.
Especially on a meditation
and affirmations videos
because those videos
were so like not mainstream
when I started making them.
It was just like a weird little test on my channel
that just happened to become like
the biggest type of content on my channel
over these years. So that's pretty cool.
I feel like everyone's leveling up consciously
with their mindset.
Just everyone is just doing it.
And I'm really proud of everyone who are doing
those meditations and affirmations.
So thank you for supporting.
One thing that I've learned recently for myself
is to stop overthinking
and to stop allowing my
mind to get so scattered
and so distracted by the
content that I consume.
I really realize that the more content I consume
the more I just read what's out there,
the more confused and distracted
and scattered that I feel.
And so if I really want to be focused
and feel clarity, I just have to just turn inward,
meditate and find the answers within.
The answers are not outside of me.
The answers are in here.
And that's what I am reminded by.
And another thing that
I have learned about myself
is that I feel my best when
I am doing something creative every day.
So I'm just reminding myself
to not overthink things and just create.
It doesn't matter what I'm working on.
Whether I'm working on a video,
a book or the app or this,
just anything, music, as long
as I'm doing something creative
that is like a very positive fulfilling way
to pour my energy out and
I don't really have to judge what comes out
of my creativity. It's just I have to focus on
just doing it just creating and keeping
that energy flowing.
That's what feels best for me
In terms of alignment towards my dream life.
I rate myself at a nine because
I really really love my life and I feel like
I'm in a good place.
I can't complain.
I am on the path to creating my dream life.
I'm not all the way there but
a lot of aspects of my life are there. Right?
I have this career that I love.
I'm able to be creative.
I'm able to have freedom of time and location.
Like literally me taking off a month to travel
and to not work that's that's like a pretty long
that's the longest I've done it in a while.
And to be able to do that freely
and still keep things going.
I'm just very grateful to be
able to be at this point in life.
You know took me a while
to build it but here I am.
So I'm very proud of that.
But what would it take to get to a 10 is
I still feel like I have these negative habits
that I fall back into.
I'm not the best with not eating sweets, right?
I like to eat healthy but I love my sweets.
And that's not good for me.
For me it's like the health and fitness goals
that I tend to always feel like
I'm going back and forth with.
And also the fact that
I allow my mind to get scattered and distracted.
So I'm really working on honing it and
I feel really good this past week.
But you know, this first half of the year
I did struggle with that.
But you know, we're all a work in progress
and it's okay. Nobody's perfect.
We all have our flaws and
weaknesses and our crutches.
But we are here.
As long as we keep trying another day.
Each day is an opportunity to take
that positive step towards our dream life.
All right. I hope you enjoyed this video and
I hope that you are also aligned and
aligning yourself to the life that you want.
I hope today's video was helpful
and I hope that you remember that
your power is in the present moment.
That you have the power in every moment
to realign yourself if you
feel like you've fallen off.
Whether that's in a mini way
like oh I've been scrolling
on my phone for too long.
Let me zip. Let me get back.
Or whether it's in like a big picture thing.
Oh, this job has not been
fulfilling for a few years.
And I felt like I would fit somewhere else.
Let me try to explore what else is out there.
Like try to find all the ways that
you can realign to the life that you want.
Because it's your life.
No one else is going to do it for you.
All right. Sending you so much love.
And if you are curious about
any of those long-term projects
that I mentioned like the book,
the app, music or whatever,
sign up for my email list because
that is the special group of people
that are the first to find out
about everything new that I'm working on.
Any updates, any announcements.
I'm also trying to create like an audio course
since those audios do so well.
I just want to make like a
structured course version of that
but I don't know when I'll
have time to work on it.
So I'll keep you guys updated.
All right. That's it for today.
I hope you have a beautiful beautiful summer.
Bye.
