Why most New Year Resolutions are broken

Deccan Chronicle  

Every year, as New Year approaches, the Internet is choked with memes on resolutions that end up in colossal failures. Get Real According to Dr Diana Monteiro, counselling psychologist at the Hyderabad Academy of Psychology, one of the biggest reasons for failure is that we set up unrealistic goals while making resolutions. “Initially everyone works hard to achieve their goals; but when the signs of progress don’t match expectations, they’re discouraged and give up,” she says. “It’s natural for humans to fail, and everyone fails in their resolution at least once,” Dr Monteiro points out. Also, it’s imperative that we set realistic goals and applaud every little change achieved instead of aiming for unrealistic goals in the name of perfection,” she adds.
