WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL KICK BUTT DAY

  1. It's a time for introspection
    This holiday forces us to think about what's keeping us from our goals. Perhaps we're too busy to prioritize. Or maybe we just don't know what we want.

  2. It's a day to start doing
    Start small, if necessary. Take care of some minor tasks first. After a few successes, things will only get easier.

  3. It's a nationwide event
    We're not alone. Many dreamers ( and procrastinators) around the world are celebrating this day with us.
