At the start of the year, making New Year’s Resolutions are a standard tradition for many. It is a time to take stock of the past year and dream big for the new year. Yet only 8% of people successful complete their resolutions.
The six most common reasons for failing to meet resolutions are:
- Not making it a priority or having a strong enough reason why
- Getting discouraged if things don’t go perfectly from the start
- Not having specific enough goals
- Trying to do too many different activities at once
- Not having the right mentors or support groups
- Not tracking progress
Four of the most common resolutions include:
- Losing weight and working out more
- Spending more time with family
- Being a nicer person
- Learning something new
