New Year resolutions that stick & actually work

Each year, we try. We start each year with great motivation and fully positive intentions. But somehow most of the resolutions don’t stick for most of us. Why don’t we make this first year of the new decade special by making resolutions that actually stick and work?

LET’S GET INSPIRED

Are you ready to plunge into the first year of the new decade? Here are some ideas of new resolutions—some of them sound small but these new habits could become life-changing. I hope some may “speak” to you.

Small change, big impact

♦ Make bed right after you get up every morning–you will start your day with positivity.

♦ Bring “nature” into your life.

Write down your resolutions

Our resolutions

“We’re using it medicinally not just for the pleasure of drinking green tea”—that’s what a Naturopathic doctor said when she placed her usual order of Edible Green® Sencha powder. “Tea just for fun” vs. “serious tea”–that is what we are aiming for.

Tea consumption is increasing in the US—on the other hand, soft drink consumption continually decreased for the past 13 years. It is great news. However, when we look around the tea market, most of the tea is still not organic.

We are proud of you because you chose SEI MEE TEA and are aware that a myriad of tea options out there may not be as “healthy” as expected—It may contain unhealthy substances, like chemical additives, an unhealthy amount of sugar, pesticide/herbicide residues, and/or lead.

We believe in the power of clean, quality tea, and that’s what we always offer. It is important to us because this is the reason why we started our business in the first place.

By the same token, we believe “a serious marathon runner can be getting a pleasure from running.” We make a careful selection so that our tea brings a pleasant and elevated tea experience as well.

Here are a few of our new promises to you for this coming year:
1. We will be offering “online workshops” from which you can learn about common health problems and teas at home. The newest workshop will start in the next month. Stay tuned!

Workshop is coming

2. We will contribute more to the Naturopathic way of healing. We will participate in their conferences and share our expertise in green tea, and contribute to residency programs to support student Naturopathic doctors.

Happy New Year and let yourself blossom in 2020!
