Have you ever wo dered why we say, “Out with the old and in with the new”? “Out with the old, in with the new” means to leave old things or ideas behind and start fresh with new things or ideas. People usually say this at the beginning of a new year or at the beginning of something new.

The phrase “out with the old, in with the new,” literally means to MOVE FORWARD! The phrase suggests that to move forward, one must purge, remove, or let go of one thing, with the expectation of gaining something else.

Each new year offers an exciting opportunity for a fresh start and new beginnings, which is why we all look forward to New Year’s Eve so much. No matter what your goals are for the coming year are or how many New Year’s resolutions you plan to make for 2022, ringing in the start of a new year is a moment to acknowledge.
