Why Monday Feels Like a Fresh Start… and Nothing Actually Changes

About this episode

Rebecca Wiener McGregor explores why Monday feels like a fresh start but often leads to falling back into old patterns.

Why do you wake up on Monday feeling clear and motivated… and then fall back into the same patterns by midday? In this episode of Elevate Your Mind , Rebecca Wiener McGregor breaks down what's actually happening beneath your intentions—and why awareness, discipline, and willpower aren't creating the change you expected. This isn't about a lack of effort. It's about the part of your mind that's already running your patterns, decisions, and behaviors before you consciously think about them. Inside this episode: • Why strong intentions don't hold throughout the day • What's actually running your responses and habits • How subconscious patterns override your goals • Why you "lose momentum" even when you care deeply • What needs to shift for real, lasting change If you've ever felt like you're starting over every week, this episode will help you understand why—and what actually changes it. You don't need more motivation. You need your system to respond differently. __________________________________________________________________________ Watch the on-demand training: Your Subconscious Mind is Running the Show WhatsRunningTheShow.com 🔗 Work with Rebecca: RebeccaWiener.com
