January 17 and 19 on the show "Here and Now" — guest Solvita Vektere

Everyone is probably familiar with the tradition of starting a new life in the New Year — resolving to finally start exercising, eat fewer sweets after six, start learning that German language, or not spend evenings so often in front of the TV with a stiff drink in hand. Right now, the new year is already two weeks old. And — as happens very often — the promises we make to ourselves are not kept. Why does this happen and what can we do about it? We will discuss this on the show on Tuesday and Thursday with psychotherapist Solvita Vektere.
