Before resolving, Shall we go through the “story” about New year Resolution
The practice of making New Year’s resolutions was started by ancient Babylonians around 4,000 years back, it is believed.
They celebrated with new plants, new king and made promises to the Gods to pay their debts and return any objects they had borrowed.
These promises to God ( religious tradition) have taken different shapes before evolving into what is called “New Year resolutions” mostly directed towards self-improvement.
Statistics about New year Resolutions:
According to U.S. News & World Report, most lose their resolve by mid-February.
In a 2014 report, 35% of participants who failed their New Year's Resolutions admitted they had unrealistic goals, 33% of participants didn't keep track of their progress, and 23% forgot about them; about one in 10 respondents claimed they made too many resolutions.
Statistics show that only 8% of those who make resolutions are successful in achieving their goals.
