New Year's Resolutions

A New Year's resolution is a tradition in which a person makes a promise to do an act of self-improvement or something slightly nice beginning from New Year's Day.
Religious origins:
Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year that they would return borrowed objects and pay their debts.
The Romans began each year by making promises to the god Janus, for whom the month of January is named.
In the Medieval era, the knights took the "peacock vow" at the end of the Christmas season each year to re-affirm their commitment to chivalry.
At watchnight services, many Christians prepare for the year ahead by praying and making these resolutions

Stick to your resolutions!
New Year’s resolutions are fun to make but extremely difficult to maintain. While about 75% of people stick to their goals for at least a week, less than half (46%) are still on target six months later.

It's hard to keep up the enthusiasm months after you've swept up the confetti, but it's not impossible. This year, pick one of the following worthy resolutions, and stick with it. Here’s to your health!
