What would the New Year be without good resolutions? Working out, dieting, quitting smoking, and more. Discover in this article our 100% natural tips to help you stick to your guns and maintain your goals for the New Year!
1. Quit smoking naturally
Like every year at the beginning of January, you make your little list of good resolutions and you tell yourself this year it's decided "I'm quitting smoking!" However, like many New Year's resolutions, quitting smoking is not so easy to maintain over time.
Quitting smoking is an important personal decision and a real challenge that you are setting yourself. The first thing to do to quit smoking is to have the necessary willpower and the motivation will follow ! To free yourself from this addiction and then reconnect with your senses, such as taste for example, it takes time and it is often done in stages. Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to quit smoking but it is not uncommon for this desire to be shared by the fear of not succeeding. Be confident in your ability to change
Quitting smoking is extremely difficult because it causes a triple addiction : physical, psychological and behavioral . To counter this triple addiction, we have developed a 100% natural and nicotine-free range for weaning.
The range
AROMASTOP
The 100% organic AROMASTOP range is the first range with essential oils designed to help you succeed naturally in quitting smoking. The FORTE Global Support Capsules (with essential oils of Lavender Leaf Sage, True Lavender, Peppermint) provide comprehensive support throughout the delicate period. The Instant Rapid Release Spray (with essential oils of Copaiba, Black Pepper, Spearmint, Field Mint, Lime) and the Chewing Gums (Spearmint, Mandarin, True Lavender, Peppermint and Rosemary CT cineole) allow you to overcome sensitive moments during the day.
2. Get back into sport
Every year, we reset the clock and tell ourselves that in addition to quitting smoking, we should start exercising again. According to the social network Strava (an application for athletes), this good resolution would only last... 12 sad days because motivation wanes very quickly! Yet it is well known that exercise helps relieve stress and keep in shape. Obviously it is not a miracle cure, but it is good to practice physical activity, the most difficult thing is perhaps finding the right sport and keeping up the pace!
To do this, here are some little “tips”:
- Don't start too fast: Even if you're motivated at first, you don't want to make the change too "abrupt" for your body. Moving at your own pace also allows you to maintain your willpower as the weeks go by. Adopt the right mindset from the start!
- Set goals: Set yourself a real challenge with friends, such as participating in a marathon, for example.
- Going to work by bike or on foot: obviously this isn't possible if you work an hour from home, but for the lucky ones it's a good alternative!
- Exercise with a friend: it's proven that "working out with a friend is better"! If one of you tends to give up, the other is there to re-motivate the troops.
- Exercise in the morning: Getting active in the morning gives you energy for the whole day, and generally, people who exercise in the morning are more consistent. In the evening, after a day of work, we're often tired and don't necessarily feel like following up with a jog or an hour of weight training.
The range for athletes

3. Do a detox cure
Diet, the air we breathe, stress, tobacco, alcohol, and even "acidic thoughts" are all sources of toxins. Our bodies have filters, but like all filters, they eventually become clogged. Hence the importance of starting a cleanse in early January that will support your body in its task.
To get off to a good start, remember to stock up on vitamins! To do this, don't hesitate to eat or drink your quota of fruits and vegetables through smoothies, for example . Another wellness tip is to opt for a course of essential oils (Lemon, Rosemary, Carrot, etc.) to take orally daily.
Focus on 2 detox products
Lemon Essence - OLEOCAPS +8 DRAINAGE capsules
Tips with Lemon essence :
- 3 drops in the morning before meals on 1/4 of a sugar cube or in fruit juice.

For this, the extra-draining juniper essential oil will promote the evacuation of toxins at the level of the emunctories (kidneys, intestines, skin). Ginger will have the effect of supporting the activity of the intestine.
4. Reduce your stress
2020 has been a stressful year for everyone, so perhaps one of your New Year's resolutions is to reduce your stress or at least learn how to deal with situations that cause you stress.

5. Adopt a positive attitude!
Have you ever heard this quote "Smile at life and life will smile back at you!" Well, this year 2021 we are putting this into practice and more than ever we are emitting positive vibes!
A positive mood can only increase your productivity and motivation at work, but also in your personal life. But how can you be positive? Nothing could be simpler: spend time with people who make you feel good, because hanging out with negative people can affect your morale. Also, do an activity you enjoy, whether it's sport or art, as long as you have fun.
Learn to love what you already have and finally focus on all those little positive things that you already have, those little things that make you feel good and help you keep your spirits up every day!
