chosen.content: New Year resolutions can be a helpful way to reflect on the prior year, set goals and make plans for the coming months. Though keeping them can be difficult, taking the time to set realistic goals and make a plan can still have value, even if the resolution isn't kept in full. For those who are willing to persist and persevere, the potential payoff in achieving a resolution worthwhile can be greater than the effort taken to achieve it. Thus banning resolutions could be seen as too rigid and unhelpful as it ignores the potential benefits of goal setting and planning.

rejected.content: Banning New Year resolutions would eliminate an opportunity for people to reflect on their past and current mistakes and goals and to start the year with a renewed dedication to self-improvement. Additionally, the act of setting resolutions encourages people to take a holistic and long-term view of their life, helping them to form realistic and achievable goals. Therefore, while resolutions may not be kept by all, banning them outright would deny people the benefit of creating them in the first place.
