Happy Do Over Day
Now for non-Canadians, this may seem somewhat odd – what did we do to deserve a holiday (and no, we don’t get to stay home from work)?
But if you lived in Canada in February, you wouldn’t ask.
The site’s pretty funny too, with videos of a tattoo gone wrong, why lunch time sex is a no-no, and the many replies as to what they would do over (“I wouldn’t have my sister in law in my wedding,” and “no dive in lake with $400 glasses” were my favorites – at least, of the ones I could print here).
But seriously, this idea behind do-overs is only partly tongue in cheek – the fact of the matter is, it can be viewed as a day to pause and reflect.
I’m currently wading through an NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) book, and much of it involves getting in touch with your attitudes and motivations – and the fact is, reflection now can save a whole lot of issues later.
And although we can’t really ‘do over’, it’s no coincidence it’s been said “he who forgets history is doomed to repeat it”. So take a moment and review the official “Do Over Tips” and stop your history in its tracks.
Or just drop by the site – it’s worth a visit.
