What some may find important to achieve, others may not. Like figuring out how to use the self-timer on your camera so you can finally be in family photos, or only wearing sweatpants on days ending with ‘y’. On a more serious note, setting a goal or resolution for the new year ahead is vital to keeping yourself in check, and happy.

VitaminMe knows that everyone has their ‘thing’ and that to achieve everything we want in 2023 we need to give our bodies the energy and drive it needs. It’s about cultivating good habits.

One way to do this at the start of a new year is to set yourself goals, when setting goals it’s important to keep the following in mind:

· Set specific, measurable, and achievable goals

· Break larger goals into smaller, manageable steps and create a plan to achieve them

· Hold yourself accountable and track your progress

· Find ways to make the habit enjoyable, and make it a part of your daily routine

· Starting small and being consistent is key to developing good habits

It’s all well and good to know what we should be doing, but what about doing these things with a big smile on your dial? Even better.

Many things can put us in a good mood, such as:

· Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers and mood elevators.

· Social interaction: Spending time with friends and family, or even just talking to someone, can improve our mood.

· Nature: Being outdoors and surrounded by natural beauty can have a calming and uplifting effect on our mood.

· Music: Listening to our favourite music can evoke positive emotions and memories.

· Laughter: Laughing can release endorphins, reduce stress, and improve our overall mood.

· Gratitude: Practicing gratitude by focusing on the things we are thankful for can help to shift our perspective and improve our mood.

· Helping others: Volunteering or performing acts of kindness for others can also boost our mood and self-esteem. · It would be hard not to include VitaminMe’s Energy + Mood on this list. Why? Well because it’s packed with mood-boosting goodness!

A good mood is good. But, so is increased energy levels. A spring in your step goes a long way to starting things with enthusiasm, and making sure you have the stamina to not stop until you’re done!

There are several natural ways to increase energy levels, such as:

· Exercise: Regular physical activity can improve cardiovascular fitness, increase muscle strength and endurance, and help to combat fatigue.

· Sleep: Getting enough quality sleep is essential for maintaining energy levels. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night.

· Diet: Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein can provide the nutrients and energy needed for daily activities.

· Hydration: Drinking enough water is important for maintaining proper bodily functions and preventing fatigue.

· Stress Management: Stress can take a toll on energy levels, practicing stress-relieving techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation can help reduce stress and increase energy.

· Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is important for producing red blood cells and maintaining energy levels, it can be found in foods such as fish, meat, eggs, and dairy products.

· Iron: Iron is necessary for the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to the body’s cells. Iron-rich foods include red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and leafy green vegetables.

It’s also important to avoid or limit the consumption of caffeine, alcohol, and processed foods, as they can contribute to fatigue and disrupt sleep patterns. VitaminMe’s Energy + Mood contains and combines B12 (methylated for optimal absorption), 5-htp and Folic Acid that:

· Increases energy levels

· Diminishes mood swing tendencies

· Promotes eye, brain and heart health

So, whether it’s only eating dessert for breakfast, because if you’re going to break your diet, you might as well go big or go home, or if it’s putting in 30 minutes of exercise 4 times a week, we have your back. VitaminMe Energy + Mood is that strong, but silent voice inside your head, encouraging you to be your best self, and grin for the win.
