Embrace the Fresh Start Effect


Have you ever felt a surge of motivation at the start of a new year, month, or significant life event? Welcome to the Fresh Start Effect! Join us for an enlightening free class that delves into the powerful psychological phenomenon that helps you maximize your potential and achieve your goals like never before.

Throughout this engaging session, we will explore the concept of the Fresh Start Effect—a behavioral science finding that reveals how new beginnings can serve as a catalyst for positive change. Discover how temporal landmarks, such as New Year’s Day, birthdays, or the beginning of a new season, can act as powerful motivators, providing you with a clean slate from which to distance yourself from past challenges and failures.

Learn how specific dates and events can influence your mindset, helping you to reset and refocus on your objectives. Gain insights into how to initiate and sustain positive behavioral changes—whether it’s adopting healthier habits, improving your finances, or advancing your education and career. Explore the ways in which the perception of a fresh start can enhance your sense of optimism and self-efficacy, enabling you to set and pursue ambitious goals.

Don’t let past setbacks hold you back! You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to capitalize on the Fresh Start Effect for your wellness goals.
