Canadians want to live a more happy and balanced life, as new research from Tetley reveals that 94% want to embrace more happiness and joy, and 89% want more balance. However, it seems that stamina for goal setting is dwindling, with 57% stating they won’t make a New Year’s resolution for 2024.
While a quarter of Canadians admit to making resolutions with the best of intentions, they often lose motivation, and a whopping 42% categorically call them a ‘waste of time’. It seems one thing is clear; despite 81% wanting to take more time to focus on their needs and wellbeing, and 83% wanting to show up better for themselves and others in 2024, Canadians are too overwhelmed to make a commitment. They shouldn’t give up, however, as research by the University of Pennsylvania notes that people are more driven to tackle new goals at shared breaks like the New Year – the ‘fresh start effect’ is real.
Redefining Resolutions
When making resolutions, Tetley found the following ranked as Canadians’ top focus:
1. Wellbeing, such as better sleep health, fitness or eating healthier
2. Physicality, such as getting fit, losing weight or a makeover
3. Self-development, such as strengthening relationships, practicing self-love or mindfulness
4. Finance, such as saving money, paying off debts or making a will
5. Career growth, such as getting a promotion, learning new skills or finding a job
According to Happiness Expert, Dr. Gillian Mandich; a scientist on a mission to help people live their happiest life, the secret to achieving a happier, more balanced life is to redefine your approach to resolutions.
Stop and Smell the Roses
Dr. Mandich also notes that mini moments of pause can help to create an effective mindset for attaining the happiness and balance required to achieve greater goals.
2024: The year of positivi‘tea’
When asked, nearly all Canadians (97%) agreed that the right mindset is important to fulfilling wellness goals. To inspire Canadians on this journey, Tetley has released a range of caffeine-free Live Teas, featuring two new flavours which speak to Canadians’ desire to Live Happy and Live Balanced in 2024. The teas can act as the perfect sidekick to creating a moment of mindfulness whenever you need it.
Whatever our focus for 2024, there’s a Live Tea that can help Canadians channel the right mindset:
NEW Live Happy: 94% of Canadians want to embrace more joy and happiness in life. Tetley Live Happy is a vibrant herbal tea that combines the sweet flavour of mango and tangy passionfruit with lion’s mane – a plant used for centuries in East Asian medicine. It’s sunshine in a cup, hot or cold!
NEW Live Balanced: Every day can be a whirlwind of emotions and stressors and it’s no wonder 89% of Canadians want to lead a more balanced life.

Live Bold: 82% of Canadians reported they want to live life more boldly and confidently. Tetley’s Live Bold provides a kick-start at any time of day with a unique blend of rooibos chai, cinnamon, clove and pepper.
