Many people hope for a fresh start on “day 1” of a new year, but the science behind the “fresh start effect” suggests our brains don’t recognize a “temporal shift” as a trigger for change. This deep dive into psychology and neuroscience explains why relying on dates alone for mental health goals is often ineffective. This video challenges common perceptions about the psychology of change.
In this video, I explain the ‘Fresh Start Effect’ and why relying on a date to change your life is actually a trap set by your own biology. The secret to a real fresh start isn’t about time, it’s about space.
I’ll show you the neuroscience of ‘Temporal Landmarks’ and how a simple ‘Spatial Reset’ can break bad habits 10x faster than a New Year’s resolution.
