Almost four weeks now without caffeine. I fucking love coffee, but this is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a while. Better sleep, no more feeling like a zombie in the morning, less anxiety. 5/5.
Idk why I really decided to do this but I went a whole week without having coffee. Mind you, I usually drink 2 cups a day which seems pretty like average if you ask me.
So the week before, I started weaning off by only having 1 cup of coffee a day to try and minimize any withdrawal symptoms and it kinda worked! No headaches or anything that unpleasant for me, it was just really hard to focus and concentrate for a couple days. But after that it was pretty cool to not need any coffee to get through the day and work week. For some reason I was also a lot more mindful about my fluid/water intake as well. Anyways, my break ended today with me making a cup with my sweet Aeropress lmao. If there's anything I learned from this experience, it's that I don't need coffee but it can also be a nice addition. After all, coffee/caffeine is so normalized and ingrained in our culture and routines. It's nice to be able to participate in that social phenomenon. Going forward I plan on being more mindful and intentional with my consumption. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
they are your coworker they see you more than some of your friends do so surely they know your angles and will not question why you want a “hard portrait” of yourself in the refrigerated box truck
anyone can do it , everyone should build their shelter, you can finance at Lowe’s, it’s good to get tiny cuts on your hands, you’ll end up with tools you didn’t have before, you’ll have something obvious to ask for help for, and in turn will get better at asking for help
