When Did New Year ‘s Resolutions Started

Ever wondered when did New Year ‘s Resolutions started? Well, here’s what they say.

The tradition of making New Year’s resolutions dates back to ancient times. The practice can be traced back to the ancient Babylonians, who made promises to their gods at the start of each year to return borrowed objects and pay their debts. The concept of New Year’s resolutions has also been associated with the ancient Romans, who made promises to the god Janus, for whom the month of January is named.

The tradition has evolved over the centuries, taking on various cultural and religious influences. Today, people around the world often make resolutions at the beginning of each year as a way to set goals and make positive changes in their lives. While the specific customs and resolutions may vary, the idea of making commitments for self-improvement at the start of a new year has a long history.
