History The History of New Year Resolutions It’s that time of the year again – so we take a look at the histor of New Year’s Resolutions On the 1 st of January, many of us will be making New Year’s resoluons as we do every year. But did you know the very first New Year’s resoluons date back to over 4,000 years ago. The first recorded people to celebrate a New Year were the ancient Babylonians. second Friday in January – less than two weeks into the year and which is known as Quiers’ Day. Their New Year celebraon was a twelve day fesval called Akitu which began at the start of the spring planng season in March. During their celebraons, Babylonians would make resoluons to their gods and if they kept their word their gods would grant them a favour or luck in the coming year, and they would also pledge their loyalty to the King and make promises to pay their debts and return borrowed items to their righul owners. It’s believed that the New Year offers a blank slate – an opportunity to get things right. When we set New Year’s resoluons, we are ulising a very important concept called self-efficacy, which means that by aspiring to a goal and following it through we have a sense of control of what is happening in our life. Figures show that about 30% of people don’t bother to make a New Year’s resoluon because they know they won’t keep to it. And, of course modern resoluons are very different and exercising more, healthier eang and losing weight were the three most popular New Year’s resoluons in 2023. But how successful are we at keeping our New Year’s resoluons ? While some people love the tradion of seng a goal each January 1 st , others argue it’s a waste of me since most resoluons fail by mid-March. About 23% of people don’t even make it through the first week, and most people toss in the towel by the And why aren't we more successful at keeping our New Year's resoluons ? It’s suggested that we may be thinking too big, we're not considering the 'why' behind them, and the fact that we may not be ready for change. Research shows that 46% of people do keep resoluons for at least six month, and 8% keep them for the enre year. That 8% might seem small, but people who choose to make a New Year's resoluon are 10 mes as likely to keep them over those who pursue improvement in another way. However, according to a survey, an esmated 2 in 3 people in the U.K. (66%) will be seng themselves New Year's resoluons in 2024. That's 35 million people taking deliberate steps to beer themselves as the year kicks off. So if you are making your own New Year’s resoluons for 2024, whatever they are, will you be amongst the 8% or the 92% ? Good luck !
