Every year around this time, we all contemplate what our lives will be like in the new year. We set our expectations for ourselves with resolutions that may or may not be kept and hope for the best for ourselves and our families.

What resolution have you set for yourself? What and how do you plan on forcing your way into the future?

This article will tackle new beginnings and following through with our goals in 2024.

What is a New Year’s Resolution Anyway?

A New Year’s resolution is a common tradition celebrated in the Western part of the world (but also in the East), where people declare they will change traits or behaviors they do not like about themselves.

Resolutions are very personal and involve reaching for a goal one hopes to accomplish in the new year. A few common goals include losing weight or treating someone you know better.

There are many reasons to set a resolution for oneself on New Year’s Eve. Below are only two of them.

Resolutions make us feel good about ourselves. Making and keeping a resolution to yourself feels great. Celebrate even small victories toward your new year’s goal as you have moved a few inches forward in your healing journey.
