Why New Year’s resolutions don’t work【Level 1】
Professor Scot Lear reveals that approximately 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail.
A new year’s resolution is a promise which you make to yourself. You say that you will start doing something good or stop doing something bad on 1 January.
Many people have problems with New Year’s resolutions. They often fail. Professor Scot Lear says that our goals must be SMART.（Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Timely）An example is exercising three times a week for 30 minutes for three months.
If there are problems, it is okay. Things are not always as we want（思うようには上手くいかない）. Lear says that setbacks（挫折）are normal and he emphasizes that it is important to stay focused on progress.
