About New Year's Resolutions
The New Year's Resolution is a tradition that dates back to Ancient Rome. The first month of the Roman calendar was named after Janus, a two faced god believed to have looked forward to the coming year and back upon the previous simultaneously at the start of the New Year.
Setting self-improvement goals is a common activity at the beginning of a new year, with an estimated 40% to 45% of Americans setting at least one resolution each yearhttp://www.newyearfestival.com/new-year-resolutions.html. According to a 300,000 response survey, the top ten resolutions made are:
- Lose Weight and Get in Better Physical Shape
- Stick to a budget
- Reduce debt
- Enjoy More Quality Time with Family & Friends
- Find My Soul Mate
- Quit Smoking
- Find a Better Job
- Learn Something New
- Volunteer and Help Others
- Get Organized
