Where's Your Resolution?

So it takes 21 days to create or break a habit. How is your New Year's resolution doing? Hopefully, you are sticking with it. If not, let us know how we can help make your resolutions into reality.

Here are some interesting New Year's resolution stats for you:

40 to 45% of American adult make one or more resolutions each year.

Among the top new years resolutions are resolutions about weight loss, exercise, and stopping to smoke. Also popular are resolutions dealing with better money management / debt reduction.

The following shows how many of these resolutions are maintained as time goes on:- past the first week: 75%- past 2 weeks: 71%- after one month: 64%- after 6 months: 46%

While a lot of people who make new years resolutions do break them, research shows that making resolutions is useful. People who explicitly make resolutions are 10 times more likely to attain their goals than people who don't explicitly make resolutions.
