It's that time of year when everything starts to rev up again. School has begun, everyone is back to work from vacation, the new season of "The Office" has started - everybody is getting back into a routine. We have grown so accustomed to operating in the school year cycle that for many of us, September feels more like a time for renewal than January. In fact, I learned last week that in France they even have a name for it - la rentree - literally meaning "the return". It's basically a giant back to school for the whole country. Everyone is coming back from their one to two month break (they really know how to live over there don't they?) and are ready to start fresh.
The Jewish celebration of the new year, Rosh Hashanah, also falls in September. It is seen as a time for reflection on mistakes made in the past year and for planning changes for the year ahead. Although many of us don't refer to September as the beginning, we do things that suggest it is really THE new year.
So forget about waiting for January first, what's your New Years Resolution? Maybe it's finally getting back into a workout routine. Remember that place called the gym? Or maybe you need a health coach to help you kick those cravings once and for all (wink wink). Whatever it is now is the time to buckle down and take the steps to make positive changes in your life you have been wanting to make. The bus is leaving, are you on it?
