Dhaka, July 2 (V7N) — Today is a unique day on the calendar — July 2, 2025, the 183rd day of the year, marking the exact halfway point of a non-leap year in the Gregorian calendar. Around the world, people observe this moment as an opportunity to pause, reflect on the past six months, and set fresh goals for the remainder of the year.

In a standard year of 365 days, half the year equals 182.5 days. That makes July 2 the official midpoint. In leap years, the halfway mark falls a day earlier — on July 1.

Many cultures and communities informally recognize this day as “Halfway Day” or “New Year’s Reboot Day” — a time to revisit forgotten New Year’s resolutions, celebrate small victories, and plan for personal growth in the next six months.

Why Halfway Day Matters
At the beginning of each year, many of us set ambitious resolutions — whether it’s improving health, pursuing education, advancing a career, or picking up new skills. Yet, as the year progresses, life’s demands often sideline those aspirations. Halfway Day reminds us: there’s still time to realign with our goals.

A Moment for Reflection
This day encourages people to:

  • Evaluate achievements and challenges so far.

  • Set or adjust targets for the second half of the year.

  • Celebrate progress — no matter how small.

  • Reignite motivation with a clear, practical plan.

How People Celebrate
Some mark the day quietly — journaling, planning, or spending time with loved ones. Others choose symbolic acts like donating to charity, starting a fitness challenge, or simply sharing gratitude for what’s gone well.
