Tips to help your New Year’s<br />
Resolutions stick<br />
a new you<br />

attempt creating and sticking to New<br />
Year’s Resolutions, but where does this<br />
practice even come from? The tradition<br />
of setting goals or changing bad habits<br />

beginnings. January is also named after<br />
this god.<br />
