About the Holiday

Ditch New Years Resolutions Day is our get out of jail free card that provides us with the opportunistic opportunity to shed those silly promises we made while reflecting on life during New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.

Many studies show that most people do not keep their resolutions for longer than 2 weeks. So if you made it this far, your will power has surpassed the majority and you can now ditch your resolutions knowing that you've kept yours longer than most. Celebrate this holiday, if you're so inclined, by not jogging, eating a bowl of ice cream, buying those shoes, having a beer, or by doing or not doing whatever your resolution(s) stipulated.

If you wish to stick with your New Year's resolutions, another way to interpret this holiday is that it gives you a one day pass from your resolutions. Use today to reward yourself for making it this far and indulge in the things you've forsaken. Tomorrow, you'll awake with a renewed resolve to go even more days.
