With the start of 2024 comes the annual tradition of people making New Year’s resolutions but more often than not it is a challenge for many to continue beyond January. New Year resolutions are often enticing because of their nature of achieving goals in the coming year. While the strong-willed are able to continue beyond the first month, the challenge is real, especially because of the kind of resolutions we set, thus putting a certain kind of pressure on ourselves.
