Every year, I hear the same thing:
“I’ll start in January.”
“I’ll be serious in the new year.”
“I’ll do it properly in 2026.”
As if your body knows what year it is.
But biology doesn’t reset on January 1st.
Your hormones don’t wait for a fresh calendar.
Your nervous system doesn’t care if it’s a holiday, a Monday, or the end of the year.
What does change is the story we tell ourselves.
That change must be clean.
That it must start on the “right” day.
That starting now somehow doesn’t count.
So we wait.
And while we wait, patterns continue.
Stress still signals.
Hunger still signals.
Sleep still matters.
This isn’t about pushing harder or starting over.
It’s about remembering that your body doesn’t need a deadline to deserve care.
📌 Save this for the moment you catch yourself waiting for a date your biology never agreed to.
