a new, anew

A new or a new ( two words ) describes one thing, place, or person that is fresh, unused, or different--
"Our best wishes for a new year that is happy and prosperous."
We need a new approach, an ad that will get people talking.
Let's start a new business this year.
You need a new umbrella.
We'll have an new employee when we get back from Christmas vacation.

Anew or anew ( one word ) means again; once more--
Let's start anew, and we'll try not to make the same mistakes this time.
Tell the story anew, but in your own words this time.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"We should begin anew, with a new set of rules, and a positive attitude."
