No? Personally, of course, I have some that I won&#8217;t keep either.<\/strong> Lose weight? Well&#8230; with all those Christmas cookies still lying around in the jars &#8211; they won&#8217;t taste any better if I let them sit there much longer. And you can&#8217;t throw them away. And neither can you give them away, because a) everyone wants to lose weight and b) most of my friends have already been given some before Christmas. <em>Which brings us to one of the main reasons why New Year&#8217;s resolutions fail: Habits.<\/em><\/p><p><em><strong>If you don&#8217;t plan realistically,<\/strong><\/em> if you take on too much and do that a time that has nothing to do with your goal <em>(champagne at midnight is nothing compared to the scream of your scale),<\/em> you have little chance of breaking your old habit. At least that&#8217;s what the scientists at the University of Scranton say. You also need a really strong motive. The 4 pounds of winter-Christmas fat will come off eventually in normal everyday life. Less social media? It&#8217;s part of job. Eat healthier? I do that anyway. But what would really do me good is to relax. No, not a vacation and hanging out on the beach. Something that can be incorporated into the normal madness. Something like:<\/p><p><em><strong>Don&#8217;t mindlessly<\/strong> <\/em>gulp down your second cappuccino at the computer. Instead, take 5 minutes away from the screen, drink it in peace, look out the window. Taste it. Enjoy. Nothing else. Okay, maybe think a little about aromas, but nothing more. It could work. Because I don&#8217;t have to change much. Because I planned it in December, the moment I realized how much I benefit from these 5 minutes and I even stuck a note on my computer<em> (\u201cTake a break!\u201d)<\/em>.
