With expectations running high around the holidays, this is an ideal time to experiment with strategic forgetting. According to Rob Brezsny, strategic forgetting is the "art of deliberately unlearning what you were taught about who you should be, what you should want, and how you should spend your precious life. Fact: Fanatical brand loyalty to yourself can be an act of self-sabotage. I suggest you fire yourself from your own expectations. Clock out from the job of being who you were yesterday. It’s liberation time!"
