Happy New Year! It’s 2021 and you are ready for a change but why wait till once a year to make that resolution? Did you know that New Year’s resolutions are habitual and ingrained because the practice is over 4000 years old? And you probably are wondering why, as well as what makes them stick and why they fail.
In this episode of Positivity on Fire, host Jason Ramsden explores the history of New Year’s resolutions, examines the behaviors that keep us from keeping resolutions, and how we can actually make change stick.
