New Year's Resolution 2017 & Scientific Approaches in Achieving It

| Dec 20, 2016 08:22 PM EST

An individual is starting to write her New Year's resolution for 2017 on her notebook.

New Year's resolution is one of the most common things to hear every time a year comes to its end. In order to be more successful this 2017, it would be best to adhere to a more scientific advise coming from experts concerning success with resolutions.

New Year's resolution is something that not just a regular elementary student would do as assigned by their teacher. An individual adult will also try to better himself through resolutions this New Year. However, there are instances that most of these resolutions are not kept or worst not being started. To somehow narrow down potential pitfalls regarding resolutions this 2017, experts advised to avoid two main types of resolutions that will never succeed.

HuffingtonPost reported that there are two common types of resolutions that will never equate to something positive. According to NYT best-selling author, Tasha Eurich, one must avoid the "Pie In the Sky Resolutions" and the "All Over the Place Resolutions."

The former simply pertains to resolutions that are not being kept. This would somehow suggest lack of enthusiasm and strategy to complete or even start the resolution. It is somehow related to "delusional development," which relates to futile hope that an individual will get better at something just because he or she wants to. On the other hand, the so-called "All Over the Place Resolutions" simply means that having too many New Year's resolutions this 2017 is an ingredient for not keeping any of the said resolutions.

Under such circumstances, it would be best to avoid such type of resolutions and stay to a more realistic resolution for this New Year. Consequently, other things may be done to reinforce the motivation of succeeding with a New Year's resolution. Forbes suggested that you should turn resolutions this New Year into questions, for this would prompt a psychological response. Raising a question would then lead the brain to somehow try and answer or solve the resolution in a form of a question.

Those are some of the scientifically based suggestions that might change the outcome of your New Year's resolution this 2017. However, you should bear in mind that you do not have to wait for a New Year to come in order to initiate change in your life.
