Top Ten New Year’s Resolutions: About 45% of Americans make New Year’s resolutions. I’m not one of them. Still, I find the numbers interesting and even encouraging. Surprisingly, 75% of people stick to their resolutions during the first week. That’s a strong start. It shows that many begin the year with clear goals and motivation.
Furthermore, nearly half—46%—are still holding on to their resolutions six months later. That’s impressive. It suggests that, with effort and consistency, change is possible. In fact, it made me rethink how I view resolutions. I used to think most were forgotten by February.
However, these numbers tell a different story. They show that many people take their promises seriously, put in the work, and stay on track far longer than I expected.
So while I may not set formal resolutions myself, I can appreciate the dedication behind them. Maybe it’s not about making a grand promise, but rather about setting small, realistic goals. After all, progress—no matter how slow—is still progress.
So, what are the top ten New Year’s Resolutions?
For those of you looking for a change or fresh start, remember that it takes 21 days to make a habit (good or bad). Good luck!
