Monday Mindset: April Fools New Year

The Ultramarathon Mindset: Trail Talk

New Year used to be celebrated in the spring until the calendar changed in 1582. The New Year celebration lasted from March 25 to April 1.

Some say that those who held to the old system were called fools. Thus, the origin of April Fools Day. But there is little evidence that this is true.

But the fact is that your mindset is chained to the way our calendar is set up. How would you handle the change if we all went back to counting the New Year in the spring?

If you are going after an epic life, you need a mindset that is able to handle and adapt to change, whether it's your choice or some crazy idea to change the calendar.
