Many of us make New Year’s resolutions few; of us keep them. In their article “If at First Your Don’t Succeed”, Polivy and Herman cite statistics that:
- 25% of New Year’s resolutions will be abandoned in the first 15 weeks.
- The average number of time’s a New Years resolution is made is 10.
- Those who manage to make a resolution that lasts for 6 months or more have often tried 5 or 6 times before finally succeeding.
- Many New Year’s resolutions are for health related goals.
