Hi! I have done it again and not posted for awhile. Sorry guys. All I can say is I have more free time this school semester so I should post more :) I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year! Now for resolutions, anybody have any? Do you still have them??
Good Question: How many people really stick to their New Year's resolutions? Recent studies show that only one out every three party goers will enter 2011 with a resolution. Bing.com says last year year their top two searches after the new year included to lose weight and fitness. This goes to show what is on the top of most resolution ideas. No matter what it is though, resolutions are goals that we set to make us better individuals overall.
The Journal of Clinical Psychology did a study in 2002 and found that 75% of people stick to their goals for a week, while only 46% are still on track six months later. The same study also found that men achieve their goals more often if they set small measurable goals and women achieved their resolution 10% more often if they went public or had a friend help them out.
My advice? Tell a friend who will help you achieve your goals. Overall, achieving goals will help build self confidence and make you feel better. Feeling better definitely counts as a great start to the new year!!
