How to start your New Year’s resolutions right 

Noon Edition airs on Fridays at noon on WFIU.

The beginning of a new year means many people are looking to get a good start on their New Year’s resolutions.   

Physical, mental and emotional health are at the center of many resolutions. And if history is a guide, a majority of resolutions won't be long term. One poll from 2020 shows two-thirds of resolutions will be broken by Feb. 1. Research in 2019 showed most resolutions didn’t even make it that long, calling Jan. 19 “Quitters’ Day.” 

On Noon Edition this Friday, we will talk with health experts about the best ways to defeat those trends and stick to your resolutions all year long.   

You can follow us on Twitter at @NoonEdition or join us on the air by calling 812-855-0811 or toll-free at 1-877-285-9348. You can also send questions for the show at news@indianapublicmedia.org.
