Wiser Resolutions

So, it’s 8 January 2008 and all your New Year resolutions are still intact. Yup, your will power is strong and you can feel proud of your resilience. Now, for the rest us…

Did you make a New Year resolution this year? Are you feeling down on yourself for another failure to give up the food, booze and fags? Do you see the future as one long disappointment full of stress and failure to exercise?

Psychologist Richard Wiseman returns offering hope to us all. He has new knowledge from his 2007 resolution study and will help you to revitalise your resolve. And he is not alone. A pocketful of experts will support him in his endeavours.

Worried about stress? Is everything becoming too much at work and at home? Well, we have just the man for you. Neil Shah from the Stress Management Society is on hand to discuss all stress anxieties. At least he might be able to stop you stressing about stressing…

Wanting to lose some weight? After all that Christmas chomping was your resolution going to be good food and good exercise? Are things turning out a bit wobbly? Andy Jones is an obesity and exercise expert - he has the answers to your weight worries.

Many of us have perhaps ‘over-indulged’ during the holidays. Tony Goodman is an alcohol and drugs expert who can guide you on how to take a break.

It’s hard to kick that nicotine addiction. Anne Schulthess has a packet full of answers to help you in your endeavours.

It’s never too late - you can do it!
