Start New Habits On Mondays

In my opinion, there is no such thing as a bad day or a wrong time to begin working on a new positive habit.

But is it possible that starting on some days increase your chances of being successful more than others?

Consider this:

Give yourself a psychological advantage by starting new habits on Monday’s. Yes, that’s right, I said Monday.

In spite of all of the bad press that Monday receives about being the absolute worst day of the week if you look hard enough you’ll find that this day offers some unique advantages when it comes to starting up new ventures.

Monday provides structure for many of us in the form of the beginning of a new work week, attending classes at school, or other activities.

So in a sense we have already developed some form of habit forming behavior associated with the start of a new week.

The success rate for newly formed habits greatly increases when linked to existing habits or patterns.

Starting on Monday makes it easier to track and monitor your progress. This is particularly handy if you happen to be one of those people who are bad about writing things down.

Starting on Monday allows you to use the week-end to prepare mentally for the task at hand, it also allow for what I like to call purge and binge time.

Successfully getting one week behind you can give you the motivation and the much needed momentum to keep going.

Remember anytime is a good time to start a new positive habit but if structure and motivation are important keys to your success when starting new projects, then starting out on Monday just might be the ticket that can help you achieve success.
