New Year’s Resolutions

New Year’s Resolutions* are promises that you make to yourself to do or to not do something in the New Year. The term ‘resolution’ implies that you are really determined to achieve them, not allowing anyone or anything to stop you. This is the utopian theory, but what happens in practice? I think most of us will agree you’ll be lucky if you manage to stick to your New Year Resolutions by the end of January.

If you think this is the most likely scenario, you ‘ll probably feel discouraged to invest some time and effort in thinking about your own resolutions. However, research shows us we may be wrong. Curious to know why? Then keep your eyes (and ears) peeled!
