It's that time of year when you throw out the old to bring in the new

To make room for all your Christmas gifts you got to get rid of something to make room for it. It is perfect timing to the start of a new year. After that is done it is time to sit down and think about what you need to do to have a fresh start in the new year. Keep in mind if you don't do things differently then nothing will be different. It will be the same just a different year. That is what these last few days of the year are for. To sit down somewhere quiet to refllect on what all has happened this past year. You need to be honest with yourself about what you would like to be different in the new year. You may not like the changes you will have to make but nothing will change if you don't. As you think about what your new years resolutions will be make sure you aren't setting yourself up for failure. Don't make unrealistic expectations you really can't meet. When you achieve the realistic resolutions you made you will have the rest of the year to make more changes then you ever expected you could. Make things easier on yourself. Start the new year off by keeping things as simple as you can so it is simply easier to manage.
