It's that time of year again... Time to reflect on last year's resolutions and make new ones for this fresh start!
According to the article, making New Year's resolutions is a tradition that dates back to ancient civilizations. The Romans, for example, marked the beginning of their new year (March 1st) with rituals and promises to improve themselves.
As for modern times, studies suggest that only about 8% of people achieve their New Year's goals. However, that doesn't mean you can't be part of the success story!
Here are some tips to help you make this year different:
1. **Make specific and achievable goals**: Instead of "I want to be healthier," try "I will exercise for 30 minutes, 3 times a week."
2. **Write down your resolutions**: Putting them in writing makes them more concrete and increases the chances of following through.
3. **Create an accountability system**: Share your goals with a friend or family member and ask them to check in on your progress.
4. **Focus on habits, not outcomes**: Instead of setting big-picture goals, focus on building small habits that will lead to long-term success.
So, what are you waiting for? Take some time today to reflect on last year's resolutions and make new ones for this fresh start!
