The start at for from of on over to every New Year is when we all make plans to change our life at for from of on over to the better at for from of on over to the forthcoming twelve months. Psychiatry professor Jayashri Kulkarni says: "January 1 is a 'magical' date and a vow made at for from of on over to this day is much more powerful than one made at for from of on over to August 26, at for from of on over to example." So, we all make a list at for from of on over to things to quit, start or change. Unfortunately, most at for from of on over to these promises are, more often than not, broken by January 31st. They are usually the identical resolutions that were not fulfilled at for from of on over to the previous year, and the years prior to that. The website usa.gov says people, "tend to make the same resolutions year after year, even though they have a hard time sticking at for from of on over to them". Research shows 45 per cent at for from of on over to us make a New Year’s resolution. The most common vows include losing weight, volunteering to help others, quitting smoking, saving money, and getting fit. Others include eating healthier food, drinking less alcohol, and going at for from of on over to a trip. However, research also shows that most at for from of on over to us are not so good at for from of on over to sticking at for from of on over to these. A study at for from of on over to the University of Scranton reveals that 71 per cent at for from of on over to us stick to our annual promises at for from of on over to the first two weeks; six months later, less than 50 percent are still at for from of on over to track to keep their resolutions. Most people who give up on their resolutions do so because of a lack of willpower and the use at for from of on over to the 'escape clause' that they will 'try again next year'.
