Why “Starting Over” Wasn’t the Answer
I used to treat Mondays like magic restarts. But I didn’t need another “Day One.” I needed a way to keep going.

The Exhaustion of Starting Over
New week. New notebook. New promises. By Wednesday, I was “off track” again. Then I’d wait for the next Monday to wipe the slate clean.
I thought I lacked willpower, but really, I was stuck in a restart cycle that never let me build momentum.
The Aha Moment That Changed Everything
The breakthrough was realizing that starting over wasn’t the answer. Continuing was. Even if it wasn’t perfect. Even if it was messy. Progress came when I stopped erasing everything and just kept moving forward.
The Reset That Actually Helped Me
Morning boost: Yerba Mate for steady energy
Staying full: Collagen + MCT powder in my drinks
Night anchor: Journaling as my non-negotiable reset
These weren’t punishments or “do-overs.” They were small rhythms that carried me through, no matter what day it was.
Your Reflection
What if this time, you didn’t “start over”? What if you just… continued?
