New year, new resolutions.
But will we succeed? Sadly, a survey of over 800 million activities by the app Strava, which tracks people's physical exercise, predicts most of these resolutionsOne of the main reasons why promises fail before the end of January is because they are vague. They focus on immeasurable qualities such as being healthier, happier , or earning more money .
We want to think that we will feel more fulfilled if we challenge ourselves to achieve a difficult goal.– we are biased towards the present. That means we find it difficult to imagine the kind of difficulties our future selves will face in trying to achieve these resolutions. For example, we may unthinkingly reach for the jar of biscuits when we park ourselves in front of the telly at night – it becomes a routine. Or we hit the snooze button when the alarm goes off in the morning.
