New Year's Resolutions That Society Commonly Vow To Perform

By Evan Redmond

Every year, millions of people set out to make a change in their lifestyle that improves them in one form or another. Yes, the new year's resolution is as popular as it's ever been in 2010, and many vows have been made to drop old habits of the past and bring in new and improved ones.

Let's take a look at some of the most popular new year's resolutions that always seem to be hard to keep. This article will focus on three really common ones that I'm sure you've heard at some point or another in your life. Maybe you've even made one of these yourself.

How about the people who say they'll no longer smoke cigarettes? You probably know someone who's made this claim. Perhaps they've made it during the course of several years.

Many people unfortunately cave into temptations after a week or two, sneaking in one cigarette that ultimately turns into more.

Another one that I'm always amused by is the resolution to go to the gym regularly. This might very well be the most popular one out there.

It's never uncommon for me to see the gym more crowded with some new faces during the first few weeks of the year. I would imagine this comes from that very change people are looking to make in their lives.

Another popular one is the case of the overworked person who's looking to relax a bit more. This one doesn't sound so bad, and it shouldn't be too hard to pull off in theory.

In a perfect world, we'd all be able to spend less time working. Unfortunately, reality soon settles in. Whether it has to do with bills we couldn't otherwise pay or the fact that our employers require us to put in extra time, we often find ourselves unable to follow through with this commitment.

While all of these things should be doable at some point, a lot of it all depends on timing. It's hard to force our will upon ourselves simply because of the time of year. We can accomplish these things at any point in time, and we should never be afraid to make them happen. - 30411
