On the 31st December of every year people take time out to reflect upon their lives and look at the things they are doing wrong and how they can remedy that and improve upon their lives so that they will do better in the new year. So a New Year resolution is the outcome of the decisions you have decided to take action on in the New Year that will help improve upon your life for now and in the future years to come.

New Year resolutions are great if one can keep them because a lot of inspiring stories have been known to have happened and this has motivated others to greatness. If people were to keep to their New Year resolutions the world would be a better place but the problem is that people find it hard to keep even before the first week of the New Year has ended. For this reason I have decided to do a list of some of the New Year resolutions people make and find hard to keep.

1. Stop Drinking Alcohol

A lot of evil things have happened to people because of been under the influence of alcohol, people have lost loved ones because they were in cars driven by someone who was drunk, marriages have been shattered because the husband drank too much and started beating the wife or children repeatedly, some have cheated on their partners because they were not in control of their senses when the act was done. Alcohol takes control over you when taken too much. For these and many reasons people want to quit it totally but the temptations that come with it can be so powerful, seeing friends drink and not been able to have a go of your usual can be a daunting task.

2. Stop Gambling

Gambling is a big problem for many people and some have lost everything they have ever worked for because they thought that last bet could make them multi-millionaires but at the end they lose everything. Some have become addicted to gambling. Any little money they come upon ends up at the gambling house and they lose it. The worst part of the way things are now is that everything has gone digital, you can gamble with your phone or online with your Laptop. So access to playing a game or bidding on something is now made easier which makes it a great challenge to kick the habit.

3. Stop Womanizing

If you are described as a man who goes after anything on skirts then we are talking about you. Lol. A lot of spend a lot of money to impress the woman they want to get and ones they are able to sleep with her she has no value for that woman again, they move to their next target. Some are driven by the boobs on a lady, the bum or the total package and please don’t ask me what that is. Lol. The problem with this type of life style is that no woman is ever perfect at the end of the day you must always find a fault in her that will make you want to move to another woman. This makes it difficult to settle down and start a family. There are many embarrassing situations men that womanizes face and at some point they want to stop it but the type of clothes a lot of ladies wear these days that reveal almost everything, past flings that keep coming and many other factors cause them to break their resolution.

4. Stop Gossiping or Talking Too Much

There are people who can’t stop talking, they always have a topic they want to take about and know topic exist they create one. They are called information ministers because they always have the 411 on everybody and everything and they even talk in their sleep. This is really not the way to live and if you are such a person you discover that people start avoiding you at all cost. So people that gossip or talk too much sometimes want to make a change but they don’t know how to stay quite so find it hard to stay shut when people are gathered at a place. The feeling they have a wealth of knowledge and information that others don’t have and the urge to not release that information to people can be very challenging for a gossip.

5. Stop Partying And Clubbing

There are people who can’t go a week without going for one party or the other and if there is no party they go clubbing. They see it as a way of enjoying themselves and having a good time. While this may be a form of enjoyment for them it is also a means by which they get drunk, spend too much or make friend s with the wrong set of people that will never do any good in their lives. To break away from all those ways of life that will not benefit them they want to stop it but that fear of been alone or missing out on great stuffs can be a challenge for them and this can make them go back against their new year resolution.

6. Stop Smoking

There was this popular saying after a cigarette advert is played on the radio or TV back in the days and it says thus “cigarette smoking is dangerous to the health” then you wonder why people that smoke and hear an ad promoting smoking ending with that type of quote. Lol. Anyways, I am not here to condemn or support it, but a lot of people put it as something they will stop in the New Year. This can be very hard to do when someone is addicted to smoking, some people start with different processes that will help stop them from smoking but at some point they fail because of the so many temptations that go with it. Sometimes you may need to cut off friends that smoke because been with them can trigger your urge to go back on your New Year resolution.

7. Get Married This Year

It is not a joke, there are people who have placed getting married this year as their top priority this year, not only that, for the past 5 or so years it has continued to feature on their top list of to do for the year but it has never been done because of so many factor that will see it coming up again the next year. Lol.

We need to solve those problems to stay ahead.

And achieve them too. Lol.

Indeed, at the end of the year, each of us draws various conclusions for himself, and tries to make resolutions for bad habits, etc. But as a rule, few people follow them during the year.

True talk, people find it to kick bad habit.

Each person should set a goal and achieve it, and not spend time and money on alcohol, etc. Then it will be easy for him to comply with the resolutions. But now there are so many temptations :) that you should try not to go astray

You are very correct, there are so many temptations and we just have to be very careful.

New year’s resolutions are over-rates. You don’t need a special date to start becoming healthy. You don’t need it to be the beginning of a new year to start making the right decisions.

That is a bit of a trap.

I think because it is a time of reflection that is why most people use that time to try and turn a new leaf.

I agree, but in my opinion it’s a misconception in main stream society.

Nothing wrong with people bettering themselves, of course not!

If you really want to win then start making the little choices now. Right now :)

True, making a change can start any day.
