Dr David Creel, an expert from global health system Cleveland Clinic knows how hard it is for people to stick to their New Year’s Health Resolutions. That is why he advises focusing on the motivation for change, and ensuring goals are ‘SMART’ to encourage long-term success. Don’t Abandon Your New Year’s Health Resolutions New Year’s health resolutions are often abandoned almost as soon as they are made.

New Year’s resolutions are notoriously difficult to stick to, with many abandoning their efforts and goals before the end of January. David Creel PhD, a clinical psychologist, exercise physiologist, and registered dietitian at Cleveland Clinic, explains how the problem could be the way the resolutions are formulated, rather than a lack of willpower. The good news is, even if individuals have already broken their resolutions, they can reformulate these in a way that supports a successful outcome.
