Arizona’s Top 5 New Year’s Resolutions
With the dawn of 2025 around the corner, it’s high time for Americans to break out their share of resolutions for the new year, with most of them centered around ways to improve oneself as the calendar flips over.
In states like Arizona, we can glean a lot about what types of resolutions Grand Canyon State residents are shooting for based on the digital tea leaves known as search interest scores, with common themes such as traveling and reading more joining timeless edicts like losing weight this year.
Heading into the last month of the year, people are thinking about what they accomplished in 2024 and what they want to achieve in 2025. At BetArizona.com, we took a brief beat from Arizona sportsbooks and used Google Trends to find and rank the top five most common New Year’s resolutions for state residents. The search was conducted between December 1, 2023 – January 2, 2024. The ranking is based on search interest score.

What Are Arizona’s Top NYE Resolutions?
Based on the digital tea leaves known as search interest scores, we can determine that Arizona residents have a desire to do things more often, with reading more often (85 search interest score) beating out traveling and learning more.
Of those two, traveling more beat out learning more by a single search interest point, with the former finishing at 76 points while the latter wound up at 75 points, finishing ahead of volunteering more (72 search interest score) and losing weight (66 search interest score).
Based on those totals, it’s safe to say that Arizona residents have their fair share of things that they want to work on come 2025, with no shortage of resolutions to choose from as January arrives at month’s end.
