New Year’s Resolutions
The start of a new year is a time when many people decide to make a change in their lives, whether it be to lose weight, give up smoking or something else. These changes are called new year’s resolutions.
Even though it is very common to make new year’s resolutions, statistically most people fail to stick to them and will give up by the end of January. Why people find it so difficult to stick to their new year’s resolutions, and whether it is worth making new year’s resolutions is a question you should ask yourself before deciding if you are going to make a new year’s resolution.
