Happy New Year! (almost)If you will be setting any New Year's Resolutions this year you might be interested in doing a little reading on the Psychology of New Year's Resolutions.
Popular resolutions include the following:
* Lose Weight
* Manage Debt
* Save Money
* Get a Better Job
* Get Fit
* Eat Right
* Get a Better Education
* Drink Less Alcohol
* Quit Smoking Now
* Reduce Stress Overall
* Reduce Stress at Work
* Take a Trip
* Volunteer to Help Others
Apparently, in research on resolutions, men achieved their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, a system where small measurable goals are used (lose a pound a week, instead of saying "lose weight"), while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends.

Do you have any resolutions for the New Year?
