New Year's Resolutions

As this is one of my last blog posts of 2017, it is fitting to talk about the new year and new year's resolutions. Do you guys have any new year's resolutions? I don't as of right now, but you never know. Have you guys had new year's resolutions in the past? Were you successful in achieving your goals? I have never really set a strict new year's resolution in the past, but of course, there are things I would like to improve every year. Now some interesting facts about new year's resolutions. On average around 45% of Americans make a new year's resolution each year, but only 38% of Americans claim to never have made a new year's resolution. It is also estimated that around 37% of the new year's resolutions made each year are about exercising more. Around 22% of resolutions fail after the first week, 40% after the first month, 50% after three months, and 60% in total after 6 months. So if you ever made a resolution and fail, you know that you're not the only one. Lastly, of those who completed their goal, 40% were successful on their first try. Around 17%, however, took over 6 tries to complete their goals.
