Welcome to the New Year's Revolution!

How many years have you started with the good intention of losing a few (or a lot of) pounds, joining a gym, giving up smoking, detoxing your mince-pie overloaded body into a state of zen-like purity, reducing your overdraft or getting a new job?

These are all fine, honourable intentions. But don't you get bored with doing the same things every year? There's a very good reason that January is a bumper month for jobs pages, fitness clubs and diet book authors. I won't insult your intelligence by labouring the point...

Wouldn't it be nice, for a change, to make a really fun commitment to yourself - that you will be nice to the person who you're expecting to do all the work involved in these lofty, life-changing goals... you?

Relentlessly Positive is bringing together a well-chosen group of life-affirming experts to give you hints and tips on how to make 2008 the best year you've ever had. You don't need to be rich, thin or perfect to be happy. You just need to be YOU.

As you've probably noticed, there's not much to see at the moment. That's because it's still December. Subscribe to the New Years Revolution by e-mail, though, and as soon as we add more words of wisdom to the blog, you'll get them in your inbox.

Sneak previews:

"January is the usual time to set resolutions and goals - hoping that once you achieve them - they will make you happy. There is nothing wrong with goal-setting but what we need to be clear about is what we think these goals will give us. And then ask ourselves is there an easier way to get what we really want?" - Suzy Greaves, one of the Daily Mail's 'top ten gurus to help you turn your life around in 2007'

"Gone are the days of setting our selves up for disappointment …my tips for a fabulous new you for the New Year are all about making the very most of you as you are right now…" - Anna Scholz, Fashion Designer

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
