How to Actually Achieve Your New Year’s Resolutions
self-improvement. Why not begin the New Year with the beginning of the new you? That is where the story of New Year’s reso- lutions begins. Research shows that almost 50% of Americans make New Year’s reso- lutions every year and the most popular resolutions are as follows: getting fit (losing weight, eating healthy foods, exercising), managing stress, stopping smoking, enjoy- ing life to the fullest, getting organized,
S
ince the New Year signifies the begin- ning of a new cycle, it is a great time to think about making changes for
stopping procrastination, saving money, and spending more time with family. These are awesome goals and worthy
of achievement. However, research also shows that the rate of maintaining one’s New Year’s resolution begins dropping quite quickly as is indicated by the follow- ing statics: by the end of the first week only 75% of those who had made New Year’s resolutions maintained them, past two weeks only 71% were still on track, and the numbers continue falling from there to 64% past one month, 46% past
six months, 19% past 2 years and down to only 8% who actually achieve their new year’s resolutions. Research also indicates that age makes a difference. Thirty-nine percent of people in their twenties achieve their resolutions whereas only 14% of people over 50 achieve theirs. These statistics may seem dismal, maybe even to the point of saying ‘why start’. But one thing is certain. If you don't ever start toward a goal, you won't ever achieve it and get what you truly want.
