New Year’s resolutions go back 4,000 years. The first resolutions began with the ancient Babylonians. The promises they made to their gods to pay their debts and return borrowed objects were considered the first resolutions. If the Babylonians kept their word, they believed their gods would reward them with favor in the coming year. If not, they would fall out of favor.
The best way to transform your life is to write down some New Year’s resolutions. Learn about different strategies that will help you keep them. Ask your friends and family what their resolutions are and hold each other accountable for keeping them. If you truly want to improve your life, this first week of the year is a great time to start.
