NEW YEAR'S

RESOLUTIONS: HOW TO

SUCCEED WITH THEM

It's that time of year when we put our resolve and willpower to

the test. Only one in five people who make new year's
resolutions keep them for the whole year, and most people will

abandon them by February. So, before it's too late, here are
some tips courtesy of Jelena Kecmanovic, a psychologist at
Georgetown University.

If you want to lose weight, for example, it's better to think
about health benefits rather than social pressures. People who

are driven by genuine values are better at achieving goals.

You can also ask for help from

the people around you - for
example, asking coworkers not

to bring sweets to the office. Or
if you want to detox from

technology, delete the apps that
you think are causing the most
trouble.
