I dont do new years resolutions because studies have shown that they have the highest failure rate when it comes to sticking with them. IMO making a habit change or setting a goal another time or day has a greater chance of success because there isnt that enormous pressure to do it when everyone else does it and then beat yourself up if you fail. My bday is in feb and that is when i tend to try and make changes or set goals. The other thing is many of us (in particular people with mental disorders) "over-goal" ourselves wanting to make a huge change or way to0 many changes without realizing how hard it is. Making one realistic goal with multiple mini goals to get there is your best bet. Whatever your goal is or resolution is, do NOT join any FB groups or other social media groups because on the surface it *seems* like a good idea until you start comparing yourself to others who seem to have all this wonderful success. Its a recipe for self loathing.
