50 items to help keep your New Year’s resolutions

by admin January 6, 2023

Every year, almost half of the U.S. makes New Year’s resolutions, but most of us don’t follow through. In fact, according to a University of Scranton study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, only 8% of Americans are likely to achieve their New Year’s resolutions. Sometimes, we don’t succeed because we fail to be consistent – and sometimes it’s because we don’t have tools that can help us reach these goals. To that end, we’ve rounded up a list of the best items to help you keep your New Year’s resolutions.

Relax
Taking time to rest and relax can allow your body and mind to recharge. Taking a break and engaging in a calming activity – or simply doing nothing at all– can relieve stress.
