As 2023 comes to an end, it's time to reflect on the events of the past year and set new goals for a better, healthier New Year. Although resolutions are easy to make, most often, they fail within weeks as the spirit and excitement of the New Year fade.
Studies show that about half of all adults make New Year's resolutions, but only less than 10% manage to keep them for more than a few months. One common reason for failed resolutions is unrealistic goal setting. Setting achievable, specific and measurable goals can help you stick to your resolutions. For example, a person who wants to reduce drinking alcohol should not try to quit all of a sudden but set practical goals like limiting drinking to once a week or so.
