Top 5 New Year’s resolutions made by Canadians

Another year has arrived, and with the calendar changing over people are making New Year’s resolutions.

It’s an inspiring time to think about, and hopefully working towards bettering one’s life.

There are often common resolutions that many make on January 1st. What are the MOST common though among those of us who call Canada home?

I asked our friends at Google and they say that the top New Year’s resolutions in Canada consistently focus on health (exercise more, eat healthier, lose weight) and finances (save money, spend less), often alongside personal growth goals like learning new skills, improving relationships, and decluttering/getting organized. These goals reflect common desires for self-improvement and well-being, with physical fitness and financial stability often leading the list for Canadians each year, according to surveys. 

Here are the supposed top 5 New Year’s Resolutions made by Canadians…

5. Improve Relationships/Spend Time with Family: Connecting with loved ones and improving social bonds are key personal goals. 

4. Learn a New Skill/Hobby: Personal development, like reading, taking courses, or picking up a new hobby, is popular.

3. Save Money/Improve Finances: Reducing debt, budgeting, and saving for emergencies are frequent goals, especially with economic pressures.

2. Eat Healthier: Alongside exercise, improving diet is a major focus for better physical health.

And the number one New Year’s Resolution made by Canadians…

1. Exercise More/Get Fit: A perennial favorite, with many Canadians aiming to increase physical activity.

We’ll see how many of us make New Year’s Resolution’s…and actually stick to them!
