So many people come up with resolutions each year, in an effort to try and improve themselves from the previous year before. In the first few days, everyone is excited, trying to come up with new things they could add in their life, or cut out, to be healthier. However, many of you may have noticed that after the first week or two, your resolutions that you worked so hard on just start fading into the background, and you end up giving up on it before you even really got a chance to accomplish anything. According to statistics, only about 8% of people stick with their new year’s resolutions. If you’re wondering why that is, it’s probably due to the fact that people feel like if they fail on their resolution, they messed up forever and don’t think to just start again the next day. Karina Santiago, ‘19, says “I just gave up on new year’s resolutions because I never keep up with them. Once I do something to break my resolution I kind of just give up until next year.” Majority of people start their resolutions on January 1st, so it they all have a clear start day for the most part. The trouble is with the end date because many people don’t exactly know when to stop. To help that, a tip is to just simply start over whenever you think you’re losing your grip on your resolution. You have the whole year to try and perfect your resolution, so don’t give up on yourself too easily. The idea behind a new year’s resolution is to just try and be better than you were last year, so as long as you improve a little every day, you’re on your way to fulfilling your resolution little by little.
