Weightloss: One of the popular resolutions is not easy when it comes to following the strict regime, with many finding it very tough and challenging. A lot of people go for extreme diets or overdo their workouts, which can become overwhelming. Without a solid and realistic plan, motivation often fades fast.

Workout: Just like losing weight, going to the gym and exercising regularly starts strong but disappears fast. The hectic lifestyle with packed office schedules, travel and other commitments makes it nearly impossible for many to go to the gym and often turns into completely skipping the whole workout routine.

Another simple yet challenging resolution, the plan to save money often diminishes when expenses pop up. The resolution goes for a toss, as it’s easy to overspend when many don’t have a clear budget or emergency fund in place to tackle crucial times.

While many people decide to quit smoking, it remains one of the hardest goals to stick to. Even with the solutions available, overcoming the daily triggers and sudden urges to smoke continues to be a major struggle for most.

The goal to travel more is a common resolution that often fails because budgeting and scheduling are so challenging. Juggling between a hectic work life and family responsibilities, people find it nearly impossible to make their travel dreams a reality.
