It's a few days into 2014. Have you already broken your New Year's resolution? If so, you are not alone. According to Dr. John C. Norcross, a professor at the University of Scranton, you are actually keeping company with 92 percent of the population who don't achieve the resolutions they set.
Resolutions typically fail because they are too generic, without a concrete follow-through plan. That grand resolution to change actually sets you up with unrealistic expectations, can led to disappointment, and is ultimately why people just give up. Resolutions are typically viewed as the one shot people give themselves the entire year to change or break a habit that has been ingrained for a sustained period of time. No pressure right?
