Introduction
Cheers mate, welcome to my WebQuest!
Have you ever noticed that you make a commitment about a New Year's resolution but somehow you drop it in the path?
Many of us go through this type of issue, but we don't know why it happens. By the end of this WebQuest, you will be able to recognize the main obstacles that stop you from developing a new habit in your life and instead, start thinking about what else you can do in order to maintain the discipline.
Task
Your task is to create a written production in which you tell a New Year's resolution you did not develop due to any reason. Then, everyone will discuss it, exchanging ideas about what other options should everyone take up in order not to quit the new habit.
Process
1. Talk about New Year's resolutions, what does everyone know about it?.
2. Watch the following video: 'Why do we give up on New Year's resolutions?'
3. Discuss what the video states.
4. Individually, write about one of your New Year's resolution which you couldn't accomplish.
5. Read out loud some of the productions to discuss them with classmates.

Conclusion
We will face New Year's resolution every single time we have the motivation to start doing something new in our lives, but, we all know what success needs, motivation and discipline. Overall, to create a habit means to get used to something new, and it can be difficult for some people, but not for others. We must be aware about the obstacles they can come in the path, but having our minds clear will take us to overcome every single barrier and get where we want to be.
I hope this WebQuest helps you to be sure of your resolutions, creating in your minds ideas to keep the motivation up and succeed in any new habit you start in your life.
Thanks!
