GET OVER IT!!<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Jim ( here in the program in Lake Havasu City, we all know who you are ) when I saw this “Holiday” on NATIONAL<\/span> TODAY \/ NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR “Holidays”.. I instantly thought of you and said to myself, “I have got to Post this Holiday”.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For those of you who don’t know Jim, he is a very large man. When someone is “into self” Jim may just slap the table with his open hand and loudly say “Get Over It.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I have “mimicked” Jim with good results.<\/em><\/p>\n

So Jim, this opening Holiday “is just for you”!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On National Get Over It Day, on March 9<\/em><\/span>, people everywhere are encouraged to self-reflect and move on from whatever it is that\u2019s weighing on them. Created by Jeff Goldblatt \u2014 an entrepreneur who was having trouble getting over an ex-girlfriend, the day has its roots in failed romance \u2014 something that\u2019s very challenging to get over! Realizing his pain was relatable, Goldblatt made a website and posted a poem. The rest, as they say, is history (the relationship included). Today, let\u2019s take some time to self-reflect, figure out what\u2019s weighing us down, and decide that the past should live in the past.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s<\/em><\/span> get started and get over it!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

National Get Over It Day starts with one guy going through a breakup \u2014 what\u2019s more relatable than that? Atlanta native entrepreneur Jeff Goldblatt strategically positioned the new holiday between Valentine\u2019s Day and April Fools after he realized so many people would relate to the difficulty he was having getting over his breakup.<\/p>\n

To get the ball rolling, Jeff started a webpage and wrote the poem that truly started the holiday. It\u2019s called \u201cThe GetOverItDay.com Purpose & Perspective Poem,\u201d and you can go read it, listen to it, or watch it on YouTube, today!<\/p>\n

A plethora of books, movies, and songs dedicated to getting over it have been made. Ok Go\u2019s song, \u2018Get Over It\u2019 was released in 2002, as was Avril Lavinge\u2019s \u2018Get Over It.\u2019 \u2018I\u2019m Movin On\u2019 by Rascal Flatts, \u2018Shoutout to my Ex\u2019 by Little Mix, and \u2018DONE\u2019 by The Band Perry are also centered around moving on and getting over an ex.<\/p>\n

Besides music, movies about breakups have been both blockbusters and important mediums for the heartbroken to find their peace and get over their breakups. Some of the most popular movies are \u201cHow Stella Got Her Groove Back\u201d (1998), \u201cBridget Jones\u2019s Diary\u201d (2001), and \u201cEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind\u201d (2004). Self-help sections in libraries and bookstores are positively jam-packed with breakup advice and books to help get over life\u2019s stumbles and failings. Some popular titles include \u201cGet Over It: Thought Therapy for Healing the Hard Stuff\u201d by Iyanla Vanzant, and \u201cGetting Past Your Breakup\u201d by Susan G. Elliott.<\/p>\n

After his poem went viral, Jeff added more to his website, including Get Over It Day merchandise and an audio clip telling whoever\u2019s listening to get over it<\/em><\/span>. Today, anyone can go to his website and pick up some jelly bracelets that read \u201cit could always be worse,\u201d then email info@getoveritday.com about exactly what they\u2019re getting over and, once it reaches the other side, it will be printed out and shredded! The interesting site has garnered much attention. If you\u2019re curious, go check it out!<\/p>\n

Before you can move past whatever is making you confused, hurt, or angry, you have to know what exactly it is. Aggressive emotions often mask vulnerable ones, so spend some time today figuring out what\u2019s the true cause of your issue \u2014 a professional can really help with this!<\/p>\n

Write out what\u2019s bugging you! When your problems are on paper, it\u2019s much easier to keep them out of your head, and it helps you organize your plan to fix them. While you\u2019re at it, write out the good things in your life, too, and put them in a gratitude jar! Life gets better the more grateful you are.<\/p>\n

If you just can\u2019t think anymore, put on some of your favorite upbeat tunes and go for a jog or have a dance party! Moving around is sure to keep you in the moment, and exercise will release the feel-good endorphins that will leave you feeling much more optimistic.<\/p>\n

In multiple studies, exercise (especially if done regularly) has been proven to alleviate anxiety, improve overall mood, and dissolve stress.<\/p>\n

According to psychologists, the best way to get over something is by allowing yourself to feel emotions and letting time pass.<\/p>\n

There are few things that feel heavier than carrying a mental burden alone. No matter what is weighing on you, learning to put it in the past will clear up the path to the future, and leave you feeling like a free person!<\/p>\n

Jim, when you have “Get Over It” tattooed on the back of your right hand, I hope to be there with you!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes. Yes Indeed. It’s DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME<\/span> <\/em><\/span>today for many of you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yesterday, it was 7pm in the evening, Patti and I were driving and Patti said to me, “Tomorrow, it will be 8pm with this amount of daylight.”<\/p>\n

Silly huh?<\/p>\n

Here in Arizona we DO NOT GO ON DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Daylight Savings Time begins on March 9 this year.<\/em><\/span> It is the practice of advancing the clocks by one hour from Standard Time during the summer months and reverting the clocks to Standard Time in the autumn. The fundamental concept is that doing so will help us all to create better use of natural daylight: putting the clocks forward one hour in the spring will give us more daylight during summer nights while changing the clocks back one hour in the fall would give us more daylight during winter mornings. Thus, Daylight Saving Time helps us save energy and reduce costs.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Franklin came up with the notion of resetting clocks in the summer to save electricity. People could use the extra evening daylight instead of wasting energy on illumination by setting the clocks forward. Announcing his \u2018finding\u2019 that the sun delivers light as soon as it rises, Franklin penned a humorous letter to the \u201cJournal de Paris\u201d in 1784.<\/p>\n

But it was William Willet, an Englishman, the first true proponent of Daylight Saving Time. It came to him early one morning in 1907 while riding his horse. Despite the rising sun, he noted that many houses\u2019 shutters were tightly sealed. Every four Sundays in April and September, Willet spent tens of thousands of dollars pushing businessmen, politicians, and members of the U.S. Congress to move forward 20 minutes. But his plan was largely mocked. The practice was condemned as a sin by one group.<\/p>\n
