156. Why Starting Over Feels So Good

You know the scene: Wednesday did not go to plan, Thursday feels too ordinary to count, and Monday Stacy seems ready to fix everything. In this episode, Dr. Stacy looks at why beginnings feel so appealing. Research on the fresh start effect helps explain why a new week or month can make goals feel possible. But a new beginning is only one part of behavior change. She also talks about the seductive feeling of shopping, organizing, and researching when the action itself has yet to happen—and why an unexciting Thursday still matters. Listen for the question that changes the conversation: Why does starting later feel better than continuing now?
