Stop the Monday Reset: Replay the Weekend Instead

August 18, 2025

How did things go this past weekend?

Be honest with yourself:

• Did you keep the promises you made last week?

• Or did you slip into the “I’ll start over on Monday” routine?

Weekends are where most people fall back into old habits — family gatherings, late nights, comfort foods. And what usually follows? Guilt. Resets. And the same Monday cycle.

But here’s the real question:

What conversations did you have with yourself about food this past weekend?

• Did you say, “I deserve this”?

• “It’s just one cookie”?

• Or “I’ll make up for it tomorrow”?

Your words matter — because your body listens to every thought you feed it.

The Truth About Monday Resets

The truth is… you don’t need another Monday reset.

You need a new story.

And that story starts with identity. When you stop identifying as someone who “struggles with food” and start owning the identity of someone who “chooses energy and peace,” everything changes.

It’s no longer about starting over. It’s about staying rooted in who you’re becoming.

Today’s Challenge: Replay the Weekend

Instead of beating yourself up, let’s turn this into a learning moment.

Here’s how to replay the weekend so you can see your patterns clearly — and start rewriting them:

1. Pick one food choice from this weekend that didn’t serve you.
   (Example: finishing the cake, overeating at brunch, late-night snacking.)

2. Write out what happened before you ate it.

   • Were you stressed?

   • Bored?

   • Pressured by family or friends?

3. Write out what you told yourself in the moment.

   • “It’s just one bite.”

   • “I don’t want to be rude.”

   • “I’ll work it off tomorrow.”

4. Write out how you felt after.

   • Heavy? Guilty? Sluggish?

   • Or maybe momentarily satisfied but disappointed later?

5. Now ask: How would the healthiest version of me have handled this moment differently?

   • Maybe pausing to breathe.

   • Maybe choosing a lighter portion.

   • Maybe saying no without guilt.

Why This Works

When you replay the weekend, you start to see your habits for what they really are — not failures, but patterns. And patterns can be rewritten.

Each time you do this, you’re training yourself to notice the triggers, shift the self-talk, and choose differently next time. That’s identity in action.

Your Turn

This week, don’t just “start over.” Replay your weekend, identify your patterns, and reimagine how the healthiest version of you would respond.

Because the goal isn’t perfection. The goal is practice. And practice makes identity.
