Starting the year off right

PsyD, LCSW Emeritus, The Wellness Council of Greater Colorado Valley

Many Americans have a fun time each January 1st making their New Year’s resolutions and pronouncing them to the world, only to fail to follow through within a short time. The most common resolutions are losing weight, working out regularly and quitting smoking.

The idea of planning at the first of the year and making resolutions originated when the Romans placed their longestablished ritual on top of a Babylonian custom that usually took place during the pagan festival of spring.
