As the new year begins, people all over the world make New Year's resolutions. A resolution is a promise to ourselves to do something better or stop doing something bad. But have you ever wondered where this tradition comes from?
The tradition of making New Year's resolutions can be traced back to ancient times. The ancient Babylonians, about 4000 year ago, were the first to make resolutions. They made a promise to their gods to return borrowed objects and repay their debts.
The tradition of making resolutions at the new year was also carried on by the Romans. Julius Caesar, the famous Roman emperor, changed the calendar and made January 1st the beginning of the new year. The month of January is named after the Roman god Janus, who is often shown as having two heads. Janus could look back on the past year and forwards to the future. So, the first month of the year is a good time to make resolutions and think about what we want to achieve in the coming year.
Although the tradition of making New Year's resolutions is widely known, not many people actually keep these promises to themselves. In a survey conducted in 2019, it was found that only about 8% of people succeed in keeping their resolutions. Why is it so hard to keep our promises?
One reason is that we often set unrealistic goals for ourselves. We may want to change too many things at once or set goals that are too difficult to achieve. For example, if we want to exercise more, instead of saying "I will exercise every day for an hour", it might be more realistic to say "I will exercise three times a week for 30 minutes". Setting small, achievable goals can increase our chances of success.
Another reason is that we often lack motivation and support. It's easy to give up on our resolutions when we don't see immediate results or when we face challenges. It's important to find ways to stay motivated and seek support from friends and family.
So, as the new year begins, let's remember the tradition of making New Year's resolutions and think about what we want to achieve in the coming year. Let's set realistic goals for ourselves and find ways to stay motivated. And most importantly, let's turn our resolutions into actions and make positive changes in our lives.
