Failed new year’s resolutions are the only thing as constant as change itself, and yet we manage to make them at the beginning of every year.
One thing of a lot of us fail to do, however, is stick to those resolutions.
According to a Business Insider report, a study conducted by researchers at the University of Scranton found that 23% of people quit their resolution after just one week. In the long term (two years), only 19% of people were able to stick to their goals.
Watch the video above for five handy tips on how to stick to your new year’s resolutions.
- Keep your goals specific
- Keep track of your progress in a journal
- Take your time so as not to get impatient with yourself
- If you’re trying to kick a habit, identify the things that trigger you to turn to that habit and work on those as well
- Apply the “small number theory”: focus on what you’ve already achieved in working towards your goal instead of obsessing over everything else you have to do
