How to Make New Year’s Resolutions that Stick!

Read these tips for creating meaningful New Year’s resolutions from ARV’s Psychologist, Adele Bergi


The new year represents a fresh start; an excellent opportunity for us to reflect on the past year, and re-evaluate the areas of our life we would like to change or improve going forward.

However, many people aren’t always great at sticking to goals – and, in particular, New Year’s resolutions. In fact, past studies have found that, by February, as many as 80% of New Year’s resolutions have been abandoned. So if that is you, you are not alone!

If you would like to learn how to make New Year’s resolutions that stick, read these tips from ARV’s Mental Health Clinician/Consultant, psychologist, Adele Bergin here: https://www.aquaticsandrecreation.org.au/wellbeing-hub/learn-how-to-make-new-years-resolutions-that-stick-/

For free mental health and wellbeing support, phone/text Adele on 0447 331 845 or email abergin@aquaticsandrecreation.org.au.
