As we enter a new year, most if not all, are probably looking back at 2021 and reassessing all actions done to build the year. For some, this might be a good turn; while others are posing a new checklist to make 2022 a better one. This year-end scenario is not too uncommon for most, in fact, this coincides with the idea of creating a new year’s resolution to be followed all throughout the next three hundred sixty-five days (or at least, try).
Generally, individuals seek to become healthier and happier versions of themselves. But, are you aware of the top 5 new year’s resolutions people commit to (but unfortunately flunk at the end)? On top of the list, this 2022 is losing weight. This can be attained by doing the next few in the checklist which is changing diet and exercising more. These top three resolutions prove that individuals aim to become a ‘better them’ physically and emotionally. Meanwhile, the top four new year’s resolutions might be difficult to achieve due to the ongoing pandemic, but still, land fourth is spending time with family and friends. Finally, all these stated lead to the top five new year’s resolutions – becoming more aware and taking care of one’s mental health. Your list might consist of one, two, or three of those mentioned (or perhaps, all of those). And though almost all are determined to follow their list of resolutions, only eight percent (8%) of those individuals who create their new year’s resolutions stick until the end of the year.
