The tradition of New Year’s resolutions date all the way back to the time of Julius  Caesar. Sadly, most resolutions never make it past the last week of January.
According to the National Government Web site, the top New Year’s resolutions are:
1. To drink less alcohol, 2. To get a better Education, 3. To get a better job, 4. To lose weight 5. Managing  debt.
But, whether you’ve resoluted to eat this year and get off the Lindsay Lohan diet or decided to kick that nasty Meth habit, New Years resolutions don’t have to be just for New Years.
Around February goals starts to fizzle out as old habits start to surface again.
While I don’t encourage the steady use of a crack pipe, just quitting or declaring something isn’t always the best solution.
Studies show that it takes 21 days for something to become a habit. If you change little things in one area for 21 days, following through with your resolution might not be difficult.
If you’re trying to lose weight, instead of  banning all things unhealthy, just try to get to a gym. If you’re trying not to smoke, sorry, I’ve heard that can be really hard. If you want to save more money, try taking all of your left over change and put it in a jar until next New Year’s.  If you want to get better grades, start introducing yourself to your professors.
The solution is consistency. Consistently making an effort to change the problem can only bring a positive change.
