As new year draws closer, many begin to consider setting new goals - although this may prove to be difficult with the unpredictability of 2021 due to continuous COVID-19 restrictions.

Due to the uncertainty of 2021, avoid being too ambitious when setting goals as these are less likely to be achieved. It's no good setting a goal to join a gym, if they aren't open!

If we expect too much, we are likely to feel exhausted at the thought of even starting any New Year's resolutions.

This year, I want to challenge you to a new kind of new year’s resolution – one that focuses on physical changes combined with long term small key changes for maximum health benefits. If you can make this simple transition, all of the physical changes are sure to come. Here are 4 you can focus on:

1. Drink Shrinking Tea AM blend for maximum fat burning, its the best tea to help you lose weight and blast belly fat, because we need a reason to drink more tea... Who doesn’t love a good cup of tea? In fact tea is the nations favourite drink, and a staggering 165 million cups are drunk a day. On top of being comforting and delicious another reason to love tea is that our Shrinking Tea AM blend can actually help you lose weight. A caffeine free alternative to black tea, with a sweet, delicate and rich, earthy flavour. Drunk black it’s calorie free! Shrinking Tea AM blend contains polyphenols, including flavonoids, which are directly linked to combatting obesity. Also including aspalathin which shows a significant reduction in the amount of fat stored over time and which helps to rid the body of free radicals. Aspalathin in our Shrinking Tea is considered a “magic ingredient” among weight watchers.
    
2. Tap your toes - Boost your health by (no joke) tapping your toes. You've heard of "sitting disease," and how our desk-bound days can be bad for our health. Well, researchers at the University of Missouri recently discovered that simply fidgeting can reduce the arterial damage that happens from spending too much time on your derrière. In the study, healthy men and women were asked to intermittently tap one foot, while keeping the other one still. After three hours, they compared the blood flow in each leg and found that the fidgeting one showed improved vascular function, while the stationary leg was worse off. Other recent research found fidgeting mitigated the increased risk of death from sitting too much. Of course, actual exercise is still better at keeping you healthy, but considering that the average person sits 15 hours a day, a little fidgeting could have very real benefits as well. We recommend massaging your legs morning and night with our Shrinking Violet Cellulite Oil, which will visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite and aid in helping you lose inches. It’s natural ingredients like Lavender Essential oil calming and toning the skin too.
    
3. Eat breakfast every day - Research shows dieters are more successful at losing weight - and keeping it off - when they eat breakfast. If you don't already eat breakfast, start. If you are already a breakfast eater, try eating the same breakfast multiple days each week. Repeating the same meals can help you shed pounds, according to research. We recommend our Shrinking Shake to eat yourself slim. It's also portable and ready in less than 5 minutes take it right out of the door with you, so forget about using any "I don't have time for breakfast" excuses. Start your morning off with this Shrinking Shake that is healthy, delicious and super quick to make, its also dairy-free and vegan with zero refined sugar. Super filling Shrinking Shake is thick and creamy with such a delicious texture that’s different from your typical shake because it’s blended with the best natural ingredients like oats which are a gluten free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants, cinnamon for its power effects on health and metabolism, ground flaxseeds which adds a delicious nutty flavour. Flaxseeds are a great source of protein and fibre, as well as a rich source of vitamins and minerals. Add a banana for a great source of fibre and protein meaning it's really delicious and a healthy way to start your day. It also couldn’t be any easier to throw together too. Your children will love this as well!
    
4. SlimBathe - who doesn’t want to slim and bathe? Relax every evening whilst taking a bath in our SlimBathe, a hot bath burns as many calories as working out, taking a hot bath burns about 140 calories and also can lower peak blood sugar after eating by 10 percent more than exercise can! We are in!!! This combined with the clinically proven SlimBathe for maximum inch loss is a win win. SlimBathe is a luxurious duo infused with the magic of Shrinking Violet. Relax in a hot bath with the aroma of lavender and geranium essential oils. SlimBathe contains a rich blend of natural ingredients and skin toners to eliminate that fat! After your SlimBathe apply the oil to problem areas for extra results as the solution helps smooth and refine those stubborn areas. Also don’t forget to drink your Shrinking Tea PM blend to stimulate weight loss as you sleep, also aiding the body to get rid of toxins, excess water and aid in restful sleep.
