The Fresh Start Effect

Motivation tends to surge at the beginning of the year due to the psychological phenomenon known as the fresh start effect. People feel a sense of excitement about new beginnings and are inspired by the collective goal-setting happening around them. This can lead to increased adherence to healthy habits after holidays filled with indulgence. It’s noted that fresh starts are not limited to January; milestones like birthdays or seasons can trigger similar feelings, encouraging individuals to embrace change at any time.
