We start off extremely determined to follow the New Year’s resolutions through on our goals. Every year we think that this is the year, but our goals and excitement ends up abandoned.
Now, my question is, why are we still continue to make New Year’s Resolutions, though most of us don’t follow it through?
-
One main reason is that we see the New Year as away to start from scratch.
-
Then, the idea to better ourselves is another motivation for New Year’s Resolutions.
But I think New Year’s Resolution has to do with traditions! They said that setting New Year’s Resolutions went as far back as the Babylonian times – Julius Caesar started the traditions of making New Year’s Resolutions on the 1stof January, he believed by doing this he honor the Roman mythical god Janus, which have two faces and could look back in the past and the future.
Making New Year’s Resolutions means that people still have hope and have a certain level of believe in their selves to change and be the person who they strive to become.
Researchers confirmed that when setting a New Year Resolution it means that you can get closer to your goals. If you still believe in making New Year’s resolutions, check out our list of New Year Resolutions.
