Back in the 1700’s, the first day of the new year became the traditional occasion to think about one’s past mistakes and resolving to do and be better in the future. For many religions, they held some sort of service or watch night on New Years Eve or New Years Day that often included praying, reading from scriptures, hymn singing, and making resolutions for the coming year.
Despite the holiday’s religious roots, New Year’s resolutions today are mostly a secular practice, where most people only make resolutions for themselves to focus on self improvement. According to a study, while as many as 45 percent of Americans say they usually make New Year’s resolutions, only 8 percent are successful in achieving them.
Therefore, after such a rough year last year, it only makes sense to go into 2021 with some easy, realistic resolutions that can easily be achieved and help make your quality of life a little bit better! Check out this article below from the New York Post for some easy resolution ideas to help keep this year realistic and sane!
