In Usap Tayo, we discussed the new research findings that 20% of Australians abandon their New Year’s resolutions by January 7, and 77% are off track by the end of January 2025.


Key Points
  • Survey shows nearly two in five Aussies are willing to spend up to $1,000 on health and wellness goals, yet many quit early.
  • Over half of the respondents repeat the same resolutions every year without success.
  • Nutritionist Michaela Sparrow explains why motivation fades and offers tips to keep resolutions longer.
