Since the beginning of 2017, people have made choices as to how they want to conduct themselves differently in this new year. These choices are commonly known as, “New Year’s Resolutions.” The most commonly picked New Year’s resolutions are usually the most broken but people still have faith that they’ll follow through at some point with their resolutions.

The most common new year’s resolutions are as follows:

Lose Weight and Get Fit

Quit Smoking

Learn Something New

Eat Healthier and Diet

Get Out of Debt and Save Money

Spend More Time with Family

Travel to New Places

Be Less Stressed

Volunteer

Drink Less

With the average amount of millennials who follow through with their new years resolutions being 37%... it is no wonder people are feeling down by the end of the year. Jobs, money, family, friends and ones own goals can get in the way of someone completing their new year resolutions.

The failure with most resolutions is people put too much pressure on themselves to do so many things without factoring in the requirements of their daily lives. A more realistic way to look at new years resolutions is to ask yourself: How much money do I have? How much time do I have? Will I set aside time to actually get this done? If you answer yes to all of these you can move onto the next step.

Be more detailed in your goals. Instead of saying, “I want to travel more.” Say, “I want to travel to Colorado this year during spring break.” This will give you a goal to aim towards and you will subconsciously start working towards that goal.

To end, New Years resolutions are something that aren't just for the new year. Always strive towards your new goals throughout the whole year and your whole life. Life is too short to stop yourself short.
