In the first few days of the brand new bright 2010 I sat down to write the famous, New Year resolutions. Among the lengthly list of 12 resolutions were the classics: Go to bed earlier, exercise more, & save money. I ask the question, why does no one seem to keep their resolutions?
Research shows that 40 to 45% of American Adults make at least one resolution a year.
Okay, so about half the population makes Resolutions for the year. Heres where it gets a little depressing.
Studies have shown that 52% of people who make resolutions are confident that the goals they've set will be maintained and successful.
Only 12% of the peopled surveyed kept their resolutions.
Interesting enough, besides these depressing failures "resolution keeping." Men seemed to achieve their goals 22% more when they set smaller goals, such as losing a pound a week, as apposed to, lose 40 pounds this year!
While woman succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public, explaining to friends and family. This enables multiple support, instead of trying to do everything on your own.
With this being said, I add a 13th resolution to my list.
13) keep my resolutions
