Why New Year's resolutions almost always fail.

As is the tradition every year, I’ve no doubt you already have a list of new year’s resolutions locked and loaded in the shiny new achievement cannon you bought yourself for Christmas.  But before you light the fuse on the resolutions cannon and fire it into the darkest, windiest, wettest months of the new year, know this: about 80% of people fail to keep up with their resolutions by February.  Of the fraction that survives the January onslaught? Only 8% stick around till next Christmas.  Well that’s a kick in the new year-new-me resolutions teeth, isn’t it? It is if you follow the tried method you’ve used in previous years.  But in this week’s Brink, I’ve got a different approach to new year’s resolutions.  Ready? Onwards!
