Dr. Phil takes you through the best of the New Year. New Year's resolutions have their roots in ancient civilizations, starting around 4000 years ago with the Babylonians, who made promises to their gods in March to secure favor for the coming year. This tradition changed as Julius Caesar tinkered with the calendar shifting the New Year from March to January. Despite this long history, many people still struggle to keep their resolutions, with success rates varying significantly in different studies. Dr. Phil takes you through ways to improve the chances of fulfilling resolutions, living intentionally and purposefully, establishing healthy habits, and defining your own path without being solely reactive to the external world.
