As the new year begins, millions of Americans are setting resolutions for 2025, aiming to improve their lives in various ways. According to a recent survey, the most common resolutions this year include exercising more, eating healthier, and saving money. Experts suggest that setting realistic, specific goals is key to sticking with resolutions, recommending that people break large goals into smaller, manageable steps.

Fitness and wellness continue to top the list, with many committing to regular workouts or healthier eating habits. Financial goals, such as reducing debt and saving for the future, are also popular as people look to improve their financial well-being.

However, experts warn that nearly 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by February, often due to unrealistic expectations or lack of accountability. To increase the chances of success, they suggest building a support system and regularly tracking progress throughout the year.
