From shedding weight to paying off debt, New Years resolutions are among the worlds most time-honored traditions. Just as traditional is the habit of breaking of them.

Countless studies have been done on resolutions, and the bottom line is that while most people make them, very few keep them for more than few months, if not weeks.

At the core of most resolutions is a desired change of thought or practice that will lead to positive outcome in ones life, said Tonya Hansel, director of the doctorate program at the Tulane University School of Social Work.

However, for many, when we think of New Years resolutions, failure comes to mind. Changing ones behavior is never easy and the key to success is small steps.

She said her best advice is to select one resolution for the New Year and use the following tips to achieve it in 2020.

Hansel, who holds both masters and doctorate degrees in social work, is available for interviews and can be reached at Tcross1@tulane.edu or by contacting Barri Bronston at bbronst@tulane.edu or 504-314-7444.
