Psychologist Kim Cullen chats to Monika Cos about why 80% of us abandon our New Years resolutions by February. Relying on our good intentions alone isn’t enough.

Setting realistic and clear resolutions will increase the likelihood that you’ll stick to them. You’ll see a lot more success making small daily or weekly changes rather than making one big change.

Kim’s biggest tip…replace the behaviour! Instead of focussing on what you won’t do this year, replace it with something you will do.

The new year is almost here, and it's time to start thinking about those resolutions – but how do you make them stick? #9News pic.twitter.com/yW83HI0fBz
