Shake Off Old Habits
Even though you can start new projects and develop new habits any time during the year, January has sort of become the de facto National Holiday for New Beginnings.
It’s as if during all 365 days of the previous year you were using an Etch A Sketch to record every single thing you did and every goal you wanted to accomplish and every success you had and every failure you had and every emotion you felt and the screen has become a cacophony of scribbled and snarled lines (like those Christmas lights you had to untangle in order to hang them on the tree last month!)
But on the very first day of the very first month of the new year you get to ::SHAKE-SHAKE-SHAKE:: the screen clear and get an entirely fresh start on a literal Tabula Rasa — a blank slate.
