00:00How confident are you that the New Year's Resolutions you listed will be achieved?
00:11We met an online freelancer whose New Year's Resolution is Fitspiration.
00:17What is his step-by-step plan to achieve this?
00:21Brother Kim, what is it?
00:23The New Year's Resolution
00:27It is always in the New Year's Resolution of a beautiful freelancer to be fit and healthy.
00:32But...
00:33I really struggled because I always fulfill my promise to myself every year.
00:39Every time I see myself in the mirror, it's another failure.
00:44So this time, I will really fulfill it.
00:47I will do this as a testament of my self-love.
00:50I believe in you. Don't forget that.
00:52And his first step to achieve this is to do 10,000 push-ups a day.
00:56I just want to show up for myself.
00:58That's why I decided that I need to change my habits because I want to be better.
01:04He started when he moved to Bandayan Island in Cebu last year.
01:09And after more than 100 days, his sacrifices paid off.
01:13So far, I've lost 30 pounds.
01:16But this is with calorie deficit.
01:18So he plans to continue this.
01:20I want to do strength training along with the 10,000 push-ups a day.
01:24It will help me tone my body.
01:29Brother Kim, when did you start making the New Year's Resolution?
01:33Brother Kim, what's next?
01:34The tradition of making the New Year's Resolution started 4,000 years ago.
01:39And it was taught by their ancestors, the ancient Babylonians.
01:42They were also the first to celebrate the New Year.
01:46In their New Year celebration, which is held in March when they are planting,
01:50they crown their new king.
01:52Or they reaffirm their loyalty to their current king.
01:56They also promise to their gods to pay their debts and restore their possessions.
02:01If they can do this, they will be blessed.
02:04And the opposite will happen if they are defeated.
02:07This tradition is considered a forerunner of the New Year's Resolution.
02:12But in the past, the ancient Babylonians were afraid that they would not be able to fulfill their promise.
02:16They were afraid that there would be too many New Year's Resolutions.
02:19In fact, according to a study in America,
02:21only 9% of Americans were able to fulfill their New Year's Resolution.
02:2523% of them stopped doing it in the first week.
02:2943% quit after the first month of the year.
02:33But is there a secret to achieving our New Year's Resolution?
02:36We need self-commitment and self-discipline as well.
02:40It's better if we write down our success indicator.
02:44It's better if we have an accountability partner.
02:47That's the one you'll be with when you fulfill your promise.
02:49The New Year brings new hope.
02:52That's why I hope that our New Year's Resolution will be reachable.
02:57This is Kuya Kim, and I'll answer you in 24 hours.
03:10The End
