The custom of making New Year’s resolutions has been around for more than 4,000 years! Click HERE to discover the origins of this tradition and see the chart below for a look at the most popular resolutions for 2024.

January is a great time to correlate the idea of making resolutions with the Goal Setting materials created by iSOSY.
