NEW YORK — With Times Square’s world-famous crystal ball dropping on New Year’s Eve, millions of Americans are also declaring their New Year’s resolutions.
According to data from the University of Scranton’s Journal of Clinical Psychology — while about 40 percent of Americans declare their resolutions at the end of the year, 80% of those who did give up in just a matter of 30 days.
According to Statista, 53 percent of those surveyed last year promised to save money, 45 percent made it a goal to get fit, 25% wanted to have more sex, while only 15 percent sought to find love.
Cg text: only 8% are likely to keep their New Year’s resolution
Statistics show that only 8 percent of these Americans will succeed at their resolutions and keep them through the end of the following year.
The American Psychological Association also said focusing on a single behavior will make the resolution more achievable.
Psychological experts said declaring New year’s resolution have some value – people who do it are 10 times more likely to change their behavior than people who don’t make goals for themselves at all — provided their goals are realistic and achievable.
Happy new year, kapamilya!
