Sanctuary New Year seems to be shaping up to be a much more gestalt experience this year for some reason.
In previous years, the process of the whole exercise was fairly strict (a fact that my own mother teased me about a few days ago), and I quite literally had no idea what kind of plans I was going to make until the last day.
This year, however, I've either been horribly cheating or my mild OCPD is more mild than ever, because I've already reached conclusions on many of the issues I'm going to address in a few days and in some cases already begin to make the changes. That, or I'm no longer feeling as lost and confused as I was the last few years and I don't need such an elaborate mechanism for making improvements to my life. Or maybe it gets easier with practice, and I don't need to do it in careful little baby steps any longer.
On the gripping hand, the overall idea of Sanctuary New Year is still sound and has certainly already proven itself this year, even if the standard slavish servitude to the structure suddenly seems silly.
