Our survey showed that those who make resolutions are also more likely to report positive things they focused on during the pandemic. They may have been unable to engage in their usual activities, but they found opportunities to explore new experiences such as a new hobby, having more free time or schooling from home.
With many of us now working from home, it may be hard to picture going back to work in person again. However, Canadians who made a new year’s resolution are significantly more comfortable with the idea of going back into their workplace/office, once the government lifts the protective measures in place to fight COVID-19. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they’re also keen to return to the gym or to other fitness facilities.

For some, 2021 will be a year of making up for 2020. The pandemic pressed “pause” on many of our usual activities. Nonetheless, we should start to see these activities ramp up again in 2021. And those Canadians — the resolution-makers — are looking toward the future, believing that some good things will happen: the start of a new business, a vacation outside of Canada, finding a new partner through their dating app or even that a Canadian team might win the Stanley Cup.
It’s important to note that resolution-makers aren’t unbridled optimists. With 2020 hindsight, resolution-makers and non-resolution-makers felt the same way about how the year went down.
While it may be difficult to look beyond the current health and economic situation, Canadians who started the new year by setting a resolution can bring confidence that we could all use after a very exhausting year. As with every other annual turnover, there will not be a magical solution to help us keep our promises to be healthier or curb our bad habits.
