The book "Halftime" by Bob Buford helped me 'orgnanize' my thoughts/wishes/dreams/aspirations for the second half. I had a fair idea of what/why/where/when/how I wanted things to be in the 'second half', and it helped me ask the right questions in a useful order. I believe Peterson's "Future Authoring" does something similar, but I haven't tried it yet (perhaps this summer I can make the time to try it out). If you are journaling, go back and skim through your journals (older first --> recent last) and see the changes (and trajectory/future/outlook). (Depending on the language you read it) Hector Malot writes on En Famille: don't read newspapers, they are a waste of time. I try to stay away from the news, and listen to (few) podcasts much-much later to see if what they were saying "1 day after the XYZ event" actually played out or not". That gives a better measure/perspective of how much trust to put in those people/discussions.
