The Science of New Year's Resolutions
Why Most Resolutions Fail
- •Vague goals: "I want to get healthy" vs "Exercise 3x per week"
- •Unrealistic expectations: Trying to change too much too fast
- •No tracking system: Can't measure progress effectively
- •Lack of support: Going it alone without accountability
Historical Context
The tradition of New Year's resolutions dates back 4,000 years to the ancient Babylonians, who made promises to their gods to pay debts and return borrowed objects. The Romans continued this tradition with promises to Janus, the two-faced god.
