Know the Statistics on New Year's Resolutions and Take an Action


The New Year is the perfect time to look back at what happened and get excited for working on new set of resolutions in the next twelve months. Interesting enough, statistics on new year's resolutions from multiple surveys show that this excitement does not last long for many people, and more than half broke their promises in the first month.
The resolutions we make can be divided into three categories: Personal development goals, Things goals, and Financial goals. Achieving the goals in any of the above categories requires applying multiple steps throughout the year.
First, it starts by listing the goals using an excel spreadsheet or a calendar and adding the compelling reasons for selecting these goals. In other words, we need to write down the resolutions.
Next, we need to make decisions on putting dates on when to start and when to achieve each of these goals.
Another key component is the belief. What we believe is proportionate to what we think, say, do and where we are headed in our life, and if we don't believe, it won't happen to us. Lacking belief is, in my opinion, the major reason that makes the statistics on new year's resolutions look bad in terms of keeping them.
Finally, we need to prioritize our goals and take baby steps to make them achievable, and the cumulative will pay off. The law of gradual improvements makes winning inevitable.
These guidelines help me achieve my resolutions when I started applying them, especially my financial goals, and I have no doubt it will help you too.
