If You Fail Your 1st January Moment, Just Start Again.
“New year, new me” is often become the most popular slogan when the new year hits. List and list of resolutions are coming in various forms be it a resolution list, a vision board, a manifesting journal, and lots of other forms — all that will start to take place on January 1st, of the new year. That’s good, but this starts to become a problem when we begin to slack off and stop pursuing those goals on our list.

The thing is, we are human.
We can’t always have the same level of energy and motivation every day, so let go of that expectation. It is okay when we slack off a little and drift away from what we have set as our daily goal. No matter what those motivational reels on Instagram tell you, no matter how perfect those influencers’ lives on their daily stories show you, it is okay to step back and rest a little bit. After all, we only show curated and chosen content to be made public on our page, aren’t we?
Been there, done that. Whenever we’re drifting off from our target, whenever we have the lowest motivation ever to do that resolution, we end up ditching those lists altogether and waiting for another ‘momentum’ to start. For some, the momentum can be a whole new month — we hear it a lot when people say that,
“My new year starts in February”.
For some others, the momentum can start again next week, and the next week if we missed it again. Now, why don’t we always make the next day as the next momentum? Why don’t we see every day as a new chance to become a better version of ourselves?
The thing is, you can always start again.
At least until 3 years ago I always see Monday as a momentum to start again. I love Monday (weirdly) because that’s when I can start my goal and ambition again, and what happened was Monday is the key and most of the time sole determinator of whether my week will be the best one or not. Hence, when I miss the momentum of Monday, I will most likely be slacking off from my goal again for the whole week.
