Resolutions Reassessed Hope Strikes Back

    • Society & Culture

Making a New Year's resolution is a great way to change something in your life for the better. Whether it's going to the gym, eating healthier, or saving more money New Year's seems to be an excellent jumping off point for many people to better themselves. Unfortunately, those who do resolve to make improvements, whether they be large or small, tend to give up after only a few weeks. In fact, according to U.S. News, approximately 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February. The odds are definitely not in your favor.
So what can you do? Obviously, if you're setting a New Year's resolution, there is something that you want to change. Well, that's where we come in. Listen this week as our hosts talk about different ways to help regain the focus that you had when resolved to do the thing. (That's why this episode is airing in March and not in January.) They also share their experiences with setting goals and literally running towards them and how that can help with achieving your resolutions.
Do you usually set New Year's resolutions? How successful are you in keeping them? Let us know, or send any other thoughts you may have on this episode to us at feedback@hopestrikesback.com. You can also message us on Twitter or Facebook. We’d love to discuss your feedback on our next show!
