Whether it’s fitness goals, new relationships or hobbies, setting New Year’s Resolutions is a very common phenomenon worldwide.
Despite the air of hope and optimism, statistics reveal that over 90% of these resolutions face abandonment within a few months.
Experts have various explanations for this trend, including the tendency to formulate resolutions around grand, all-encompassing changes, like altering eating habits or mastering a new language.
Psychologists suggest that humans are not inherently inclined toward monumental shifts, making it challenging to adhere to such resolutions.

Approximately 50% of resolutions fail due to unrealistic goal-setting or ambiguity about desired outcomes. A recommended strategy is to establish smaller, more manageable goals, allowing for a gradual integration of sustainable changes rather than a radical life overhaul.
Lack of clarity regarding the underlying reasons for change also contributes to resolution failures. Understanding the purpose behind a resolution, such as going to the gym for fitness or improved well-being, enhances the likelihood of success.
Additionally, a crucial factor in resolution success lies in being psychologically prepared for change.
Have you set any resolutions this year?
