Many people around the world vow to fulfill to their New Year's resolutions. Some of the resolutions will be losing weight and quitting from a habit. One of the experts' advice is to keep those resolutions realistic.

A New Year's resolution is a tradition which a person promises to improve and start a new life. According to Professor Peter Herman that New Year's resolution fails because a person is too ambitious. The person should be realistic and be more confident of achieving those on the lists.

Professor Herman revealed that the issue is between false-hope syndrome. He suggested that the cycle of failure and the repetition of the effort to achieve self-improvement may be difficult to manage.

Some of the New Year's resolutions are self-changing tasks such as gambling, smoking, and overeating. People hope to achieve full transformation which is unrealistic and as a result counterproductive. Most of the time, the person is making some false method to convince themselves that they will succeed in doing the task of their resolutions.

Author Janet Polivy published in American Psychologist that people make resolutions year after year to erase habitual vices on an average scale of ten times. Moreover, the cycle repeats and the adjustment ultimately fails.

Scientifically, the resolutions are based on the amount, speed and ease of change that the person wants to change for self-improvements. One of the most common resolutions made is to lose weight. However, when losing weight people set an unrealistic goal for almost 0.45 kilogram a week and the goal made was an elusive one.

The renewed promises of keeping the resolutions in the list are a prior failure. Resolutions are resolutions after a resolutions' failure. The self-change are on the average of five to six attempts before succeeding. Professor Herman suggested that the most modest goal a person aim it will have a great transformation and a better chance of achieving change.
