Have You Made Your 2015 New Year's Resolutions, San Carlos?
We want to hear from you. What are your New Year’s resolutions and how will you keep them?
If you’re like most Americans, now is the time you begin to think about New Year’s resolutions. From weight loss to quitting smoking, the list of most popular changes we wish to make in our lives seems to stays the same year after year. But only 59 percent of us will stick to them.
According to a Marist poll, “More than four in 10 Americans expect to make a resolution, and weight loss tops the list of improvements for the New Year. Of those who made a promise going into 2014, only 59 percent kept their word, down from 72 percent the previous year. Men are slightly more likely than women to have kept their resolution.”
Here are their findings for 2015:
- Forty-four percent of Americans are very likely or somewhat likely to make a New Year’s resolution for 2015.
- Younger Americans are more likely than older Americans to resolve to change.
- Fifty-six percent of those younger than 45, compared with 33 percent of those 45 and older, plan to make a change to their lifestyle.
- Weight loss is the top resolution this year cited by 13 percent of Americans who vow to make a change in 2015.
- Exercising more follows with 10 percent.
- Nine percent want to be a better person
- Eight percent want to improve their health.
- Seven percent of Americans vow to quit smoking, save more money and/or eat healthier
