Monday Campaigns: Healthy Monday Refresh Reminder

January 25, 2025 / Get Well

Happy New Week, NOVA! Get ready to refresh your week with a healthy dose of intentionality! Harness the power of Mondays, and embrace them as an opportunity for intentional renewal, setting the tone for a healthy, productive week.

What is Healthy Monday Refresh?
The Healthy Monday Refresh concept, a core component of Monday Campaigns, encourages you to use Mondays as a fresh start, setting positive intentions for the days ahead. It’s about starting each week with a new perspective on your wellness goals. By dedicating a few moments on Mondays to recommit to healthy habits, you’ll be setting yourself up for success all week long.

Why Mondays?
Research shows that Mondays are the most popular day for people to begin new habits. By starting on a Monday, you’re more likely to keep up that good habit throughout the week, giving you 52 chances a year to stay on track! So, leverage this Monday “fresh start” mindset and tap into weekly cues to provide sustainable motivation that can help create lifelong healthy habits.
