Morgan Adams discussed the challenges of setting up New Year’s resolutions at Toast Masters. Here are some things I learned.

• 62% of people make New Year’s resolutions.
• only 8% will succeeded in keeping them.
• In Psychology Today it tells how people have fear of success and of the unknown.
• Some suggestions on keeping goals are to make your goals realistic.
• Your goals need to be monitored. Define specific results you’re looking for such as date, time, and method to achieve specific goals.
• One example might be to lose 3 pounds in a month. Rather than Setting the goal to lose 50 pounds in a year. Then you assigned specific days of the week to exercise.
• One of the challenges of reaching new goals is old habits. People will need to engage their minds very seriously to turn old habits into new habits.
