Deep dives

New Year's Resolutions and the Struggle to Change

Many people desire to make changes in their lives as they enter a new year, with common resolutions focusing on health, finances, relationships, personal interests, and career aspirations. However, research reveals that only 30% of individuals actually make New Year's resolutions, indicating a reluctance to commit to change despite the desire for improvement. Factors such as age influence this tendency, as younger individuals are more likely to set resolutions compared to older adults, with only 18% of those over 65 making resolutions. This suggests that while the aspiration for change exists, many struggle to take the initial steps towards achieving their goals due to the challenges associated with making lasting changes in their lives.
