The start of every New Year is when we all make plans to change our life for the better over the ____ twelve months. Psychiatry professor Jayashri Kulkarni says: "January 1 is a 'magical' date and a ____ made on this day is much more powerful than one made on August 26, for example." So, we all make a list of things to ____, start or change. Unfortunately, most of these promises are, more often than not, broken by January 31st. They are usually the ____ resolutions that were not ____ from the previous year, and the years prior to that. The website usa.gov says people, "tend ____ make the same resolutions year after year, even though they have a hard time ____ to them". Research shows 45 per cent of us make a New Year’s resolution. The most common ____ include ____ weight, volunteering to help others, ____ smoking, saving money, and getting fit. Others include eating healthier food, drinking less alcohol, and going ____ a trip. However, research also shows that most of us are not so good at sticking to these. A study from the University of Scranton reveals that 71 per cent of us stick to our ____ promises for the first two weeks; six months later, less than 50 percent are still on track to keep their resolutions. Most people who give ____ on their resolutions do so because of a lack of ____ and the use of the 'escape clause' that they will 'try again next year'.
