Shoot From the Heart with Diane Bell: Filmmaking, Screenwriting, & Inspiration

Ep #140: The Reset - 4 Steps to Take Now to Make 2025 Your Best Year Yet


Listen Later

Have you ever reached the middle of the year, looked back at all those shiny goals you set in January, and thought, “Wait… what happened?” You started out so full of excitement and ambition—maybe THIS was going to be the year you wrote your script, made your movie, or finally kicked those old habits to the curb. But then, life happened. Maybe the world felt heavy, uncertainty crept in, or you hit a wall with rejections and setbacks. Suddenly, you find yourself feeling a little stuck, wondering if it’s even worth moving forward.

Trust me, you are so not alone in this. I’ve been in that exact spot (honestly, more times than I can count!). That’s exactly why I recorded this episode: to talk about the power of the reset—right here, right now, in the middle of the year.

In this session, I open up about my own season of big change and share why it’s totally normal to need a reset (spoiler: it’s part of the creative, ever-evolving human journey). I walk you through four practical, powerful steps for clearing out the heaviness, dreaming big (again!), making a plan, and truly stepping into the version of yourself who can make those dreams happen—now, not “once you get there.”

We talk about why you don’t need to wait for January or some magical new beginning, how to let go of old disappointments with compassion, and the absolute magic of embodying who you want to be, even before your goals have “happened” on paper. I also share the details on my month-long Reset program, kicking off in August, for anyone who’s craving deeper guidance, support, and fresh inspiration to finish the year strong.

If you’re feeling off track, weighed down, or just itching for a fresh start, this episode is your permission slip. No matter where you are in your journey, you can always begin anew—and sometimes, all it takes is pressing the reset button.

Come reset with me, and let’s make the rest of this year magic. You’ve totally got this!
