We’ve all said it: “I’ll start Monday.”
It sounds noble, responsible even—like Monday holds some kind of mystical reset button that makes habits easier. But let’s be honest: if Monday worked, you’d already be there.
There’s nothing special about Monday. Your body doesn’t magically reset, your metabolism doesn’t start fresh, and your habits don’t care what day it is. The problem with waiting is that it keeps you stuck in the same loop—wanting change but never creating it.
Science (and experience) tell us the best time to start is when motivation hits. Momentum builds when you act, not when you plan. Each small decision—drinking water instead of soda, taking a walk instead of scrolling, getting to bed earlier—compounds into something powerful over time.
👉 Action step: Do something today. Ten squats, a short walk, swap a snack for a protein option—whatever moves you forward.
The secret isn’t Monday. The secret is starting.
