New Year’s resolutions always fail?

At the end of the old year, we all make promises to ourselves as we get the opportunity to turn over a new leaf.

We say things like we’ll eat healthier, exercise and lose 10 kilograms in the new year, but we often end up breaking these promises before we even see the end of January.

Why do we break them? The answer is quite simple.

We tend to set unrealistic goals (things we cannot achieve) and we often set them in too short a time period to be able to achieve them. Research has shown that people set goals and do well for the first two weeks, but then start to slack off and often end up worse than before.

Good luck with your New Year’s resolutions and may you have the willpower to stick to them!
