Lately, I’ve been thinking about the way we romanticize “starting fresh.” The big Monday reset, the first-of-the-month motivation, the new year’s clean slate. It’s like we’re waiting for permission to begin again, as if change only counts when it comes wrapped in a perfect timestamp.
But real life doesn’t work like that. Sometimes the best changes happen on a random Thursday at 3:42 p.m. when you finally decide you’re tired of your own excuses. Sometimes the real shift isn’t dramatic. It’s just choosing to drink water instead of skipping meals, finally ordering that supplement you keep saying you’ll try, or taking a walk when your brain tells you to stay in bed.
It doesn’t have to be a grand reset. It just has to be today.
