Reframe Your 2025 Resolutions Today
Set Better Resolutions This Time — or Don’t Set Them at All.
- Follow a fitness regime and lose some pounds.
- Save money and spend wisely.
What you just read was my 2024 resolution.
I didn’t entirely complete resolution one because sticking to a fitness regime is something I struggle with. I always end up returning to an unhealthy lifestyle and gaining back some pounds.
I partially completed resolution two, because keeping myself motivated every day to spend wisely was a huge struggle. I often forgot about my resolution altogether.
However, it makes me wonder: Should New Year’s resolutions even exist? Are they necessary to kickstart a better life, or do they just create unnecessary pressure?
There are two sides to every coin.

Yet, 80% believe most resolutions are doomed to fail — and I share this pessimism.
Why the failures?
What causes so many abandoned resolutions?
