year 2016 may go down in history as one of best years for people to stick to their New Year's resolutions. These are promises people make to themselves at beginning of year to lose weight, save money, stop smoking, etc. Research shows that around half of all adults make New Year’s resolutions but fewer than 10 per cent of them keep to these promises. Many people make goals at beginning of January but have given up by February. main reason people do not stick to their resolutions is because they are too unrealistic. People think it will be easy to change their behaviour, but many resolutions need lot of willpower and many habits are difficult to change.
