What is considered flavoured teas (like apple, rose etc.) on the market are tisanes, and super delicious, but if I had to drink one kind, it would be Assam or Darjeeling Tea, because I grew up on the kind of tea that was brewed to an inch of its' life, so bitter af green tea or black tea that leaves you addicted, is the way I go.
little co-rec: if anyone's interested in more literature along these lines, SPARK by John Ratey is a book i read in a PE independent study in high school (bc i didn't want to take gym my last semester) that makes a very compelling argument for integrating physical exercise in your life as a solution to mental health issues. comes to similar conclusions in regard to SSRIs and really any medication in that they can't compare to the results that actually using your body can give you. it really changed my perspective on exercise because i think physical exercise is wrapped up in 'self-improvement' when in reality it should be seen as self-care. and to bring it back to dancing: this is physical exercise that really connects you with the spirit in you and those around you, something that is undeniably a form of care
a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
just finish the first draft of the thing you're working on no matter how shitty it is. idk about anyone else but editing to make a second draft is my favorite part of making anything.
