Spoiler alert: A whole lot of Americans are looking to go into therapy this year—at least according to a new map by career website Zippia highlighting the most popular new year's resolution in each state.
RECOMMENDED: Every single national park will be offering free entry on these 6 days in 2021
The company delved into Google Trends data to come up with the results, specifically examining "search queries related to common new year's resolutions, such as 'weight training' and 'weight loss.'"
Overall, going to therapy seems to be the most popular go-to option across the land—the top pick in 12 states. The runner-up (pretty unsurprisingly) is weight loss, with a total of 8 states mentioning it as their goal.
But here's some data we found to be pretty interesting: folks in Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia vowed to read more throughout 2021. That's a resolution we can wholeheartedly get behind!
Sadly (or, perhaps, truthfully), four states (Alaska, Kansas, Oregon, Washington) mentioned "better sleep" as their 2021 goal.
Feel free to look through the map above and, below, we've got a state-by-state breakdown for you. Happy new year to all and here's to hoping that all our resolutions become realities!
