The new year is a time many people associate with new beginnings, and for good reason. The end of an old year signals the beginning of the new. It's a time to start over again, turn over a new leaf, and make resolutions for the year.
Resolutions are a good thing; but most people can't stick to them for very long. I wonder if maybe it would be better to make resolutions throughout the year, smaller ones, so that when the next new year comes, you've built better habits to start with. Building habits takes time and persistence. It takes three weeks for something to become a habit, and less time for that habit to go away afterward. It takes diligence. So why not give yourself an ultimate goal, and then set resolutions that are steps toward it, instead of trying to do it all at once? You might have more success that way.
