Big White Wall, the emotional health experts, explain why New Year’s resolutions of diets, detox and exercise won’t work unless you are emotionally healthy first
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) December 18, 2007 --
The online specialist for emotional health, Big White Wall, says that focusing on improving the health of your ‘head’ is more likely to bring longer lasting health benefits than ‘quick fix’ New Year’s resolutions which lead to faddy diets and short-term exercise programmes.
Every year many of us make the annual promise of perfection, but research has proven that nearly half of all New Year Resolutions fail by February 1 . Big White Wall Founder, Jenny Hyatt, comments: ‘We tend to enter the New Year with a lot of emotional baggage. Making New Year’s resolutions can give us a sense of control over what we did not do or should not have done in the previous year and yet they are often founded on negative emotions – poor self-image, guilt at seasonal indulgence, stress levels at work and fear of how others perceive us - rather than what we feel about ourselves. If we don’t deal with these root emotions then it is no wonder most of our “good intentions” fail.’
To encourage people to be more ‘head-healthy’ in 2008, this coming January Big White Wall will launch its emotional detox diet on www.bigwhitewall.com. This will show how to carry forward what you felt good rather than bad about in 2007, how to deal with last year’s unfinished business, how to change emotionally unhealthy habits and lifestyles and how to embrace the value of head-healthy treats.
Users of Big White Wall are invited to add their thoughts and experiences on the site on how to enter the New Year with a healthy head. One Big White Wall member wrote, ‘My resolution is to take a picture every day so that at the end of the year I have an album of a year in my life. I think New Year’s Resolutions can sometimes be very negative which is why they are doomed to failure. I decided this year I wanted a positive, fun resolution.’
The message is simple – get your head in a healthy state and the rest will follow. Jenny Hyatt explains: ‘with the right mind set, anything is possible – anyone can make lasting and positive life changes so long as they have the full support of their emotions’.

Note to editors:
Talking about sensitive or highly emotional issues often makes people feel vulnerable and unable to express themselves fully. On Big White Wall it's so much easier as all members have complete control over their privacy and are anonymous; they can build open and honest identities online and express what's on their mind.
The Wall offers members a variety of ways to express how they really feel. Using words, photos or drawing users create individual bricks to better describe their worries, concerns or secrets before adding them to The Wall. The bricks are a form of digital graffiti and become part of an infinite and permanent wall of human emotion.
The Brick Builder is simple and fun to use and with integrated tagging users can easily and quickly meet others from The Wall with similar interests, needs and knowledge. They can also explore their issues further by asking questions or sharing reflections and experiences in the dynamic and totally organic Talkabout section.
Big White Wall was launched in October 2007 and is currently in beta.
