Turn Over a New Leaf

To turn over a new leaf means to make a fresh start or a new beginning, to start behaving in a different and better way. Many people like to try and turn over a new leaf on New Year's Day.

Example usage: I have made a mess of my life but from today, I will turn over a new leaf.
