Instead of flogging yourself for goals not met, try out New York Times bestselling author Cheryl Richardson's idea, which is to acknowledge the positive steps you've taken so far this year. In her recent newsletter, she suggests that you reflect on the last six months by answering the following questions:
1. What hidden part of you have you awakened this year?
2. What positive changes have you made to your home or office?
3. Are you getting your creative needs met? How?
4. What changes have you made to better honor your integrity?
5. Have you added any small pleasures to your life? If so, what are they?
6. Have you forgiven yourself for something you did that's been bugging you?
7. How have you taken better care of your body, your mind, or your heart?
8. How have you been a better partner, spouse, friend, or co-worker?
9. What have you done to help others improve the quality of their lives?
10. Are you letting things be easy?
If you'd like, share some of the positive changes you've made so far this
year. What's working for you?

I did something similar to this after the New Year. Instead of making resolutions for the New Year, I listed my accomplishments over the past two years, and I wrote about it on my blog. It's a great way to remind yourself that you ARE doing something, and you are moving toward your goals even if the destination seems light years away. Here's a link to that post:

Hallo! Just found your neato blog for the first time, and I want to know WHO? WHY? WHEN? -- It would be lovely to find an "about" page for you hereabouts!?! I did finally find a list of contributors at the B-O-T-T-O-M of the page, but I want to know what WOW is. Tell me??
Hi almostgotit,
If you're using an Internet Explorer browser you noticed that our template is broken--we've been meaning to fix that! It looks correct in Firefox, Mozilla, and Safari, but for some reason in IE all the blog info and links appear at the bottom.
The WOW! blog is part of the WOW! Women On Writing website: http://www.wow-womenonwriting.com
Best,
Angela
