I suppose we could consider this one New Years resolution-adjacent. The symbolic turning-over of the new year feels as some sort of break, with the implied chance to do things differently the next time around the yearly cycle. But it's usually tougher than that.
We talk about getting into ruts, or getting "stuck" in life. One's life routines and habits can become so entrenched and intensely lodged. That can feel like really getting stuck to the bug paper: one's head and body could be stuck, with one's flailing arms trying to pull the head away, and then in attempting to do so, the arms also get stuck.
Sometimes it takes breaking away entirely - whether through force of will or through the aftermath of some minor disaster - to unstick and then clear one's head in turn.
