Monthly Theme For January
Out with the old. In with the new
For the month of January, the theme here at Promptly Written will be
Out with the old. In with the new.
Since the times of Julius Caesar and the creation of his Julian Calendar, January has been viewed as the beginning of a new year. People around the world make resolutions that few keep. They promise themselves things they may never be able to fulfill. They set themselves up for failure from the very beginning of a new year and then berate themselves at the end of the year should failure be the conclusion.
So you may be asking yourselves, why is the theme then ‘Out with the old. In with the new’? Isn’t that the same as setting resolutions? No, it isn’t. Before you can make outer changes in your life, you must make inner ones.
So, the ‘Old’ here is your old paradigms — negative thinking that no longer serves you. The ‘New” here is new paradigms — positive thinking that creates joy and a sense of well-being.
During the month of January, I want us all to focus inwardly. And I hope that the Monthly Theme Writing Sparks will help us all to do just that.
