Today is National Quitters Day…When People Give up on Resolutions

he second Friday in January earned the title after a study in 2019 found it's the day you're statistically most likely to pack it in and give up on your resolution.

If your New Year’s resolution is still going strong by midnight tonight, you’re among the elite…because today is Quitter’s Day. The second Friday in January earned the title after a study in 2019 found it’s the day you’re statistically most likely to pack it in and give up on your resolution. 80% of resolutions have supposedly been abandoned by now. A new poll revealed that the average person said that if they gave up their favorite food for new year’s, they’d have a hard time resisting it by day 14. So, that would be this Sunday. Here are a few tips on how to power through Quitter’s Day…be more realistic and slow down. Don’t try to make it happen all at once. Instead of abandoning your resolution, just adjust it. Remember progress isn’t always linear. Setbacks don’t have to mean you failed. Instead of Quitter’s Day, think of it as “correction day.”
