March 9 marks "National Get Over It Day."

Yes, there is a day to just let it go and get rid of the little things that tend to grow into bigger problems.

According to daysoftheyear.com, the clearinghouse for all things holiday, the day was created after a bad breakup.

Jeff Goldblatt, as the story goes, needed a day to clear his head, so he took the day off to help move forward.

So how can you celebrate?

Write down the things that get you angry or worried. When the list is done, go over it. See what you can change and see what just has to go. Then in a symbolic move, take the list and rip it up and toss it to literally let it go.

You can also reconnect with people who have dropped out of your life.

And if you're stressed, hit the spa or go to the gym to relax and get a different perspective on life.

Nationaldaycalendar.com suggests also heading to social media and use #NationalGetOverItDay to post your grievances.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
