Be in the Top 16% of People That Turn New Year's Resolutions into Long-Term Success
Nov 28, 2022
The holiday season is the time of indulging in tasty feasts with yummy desserts - and then we realize it can't go on like that! With one week left of the year, New Year's resolutions are created, and come January 1st we are confident that we will be exercising, eating healthy, and controlling our temptations. 2-3 weeks into the year we start the excuses: "there was just not enough time to exercise today", "it would be rude not to eat that birthday cake at a friend's party", "the glass of wine will relax me today and tomorrow I will be "good" again". After that, the feeling of guilt due to failure sets in, and discontinuing the New Year's resolutions seems to be the best option to feel better about ourselves again.
