Declaring Publicly Your New Year Resolutions

If you're about to set in motion some resolutions for 2021, my advice is to declare your intentions to your closest friends. You have a much better chance of keeping them if you make them public.
Here's why!
Psychologist and professor Steven Hayes discovered through his research and experiences in the classroom that when students wrote their goals related to their study habits and declared them publicly to their classmates, they were much more likely to achieve their goals. This translated into improved test scores. Conversely, those students who did not write out their study goals and declare them to classmates performed worse on tests.
From the evidence, when you can impose a bit of social pressure upon yourself concerning your New Year's intentions it might just help you to live up to them.
Questions for consideration:
1. Have your written out your intentions for 2021?
2. Who among your friends can you declare your intentions?
3. When will you do this?
Wishing you all the best in 2021
