Are you a coffee or tea drinker?

Early Morning Coffee FixI am a herbal tea drinker, not a coffee drinker. One day I wondered, “why do I prefer tea over coffee?”
The answer to this question took me back to my early childhood. I discovered that my Dad drank tea rather than coffee.
Trace back three years ago. My Dad is in a nursing home. When I go to visit him, he asks me to bring him a Tim Horton’s coffee. I am amazed at this request because he was a tea drinker.

My Dad needed a lift.

He would explain to me that coffee gives him a “lift.” So whenever he needs a lift he would have a cup of coffee.

So here’s the thing.

What is your reason for drinking coffee?

What does it do for you?
If you are drinking coffee to give you a “lift” and you need your coffee fix every time you need an energy boost, how does that help you save time and improve your quality of life?
Can you become addicted to coffee?
Sooner or later you will become dependent and eventually addicted to coffee. This addiction creates another problem.
OK, when does this addiction stop?
By relying on coffee to give a “lift”, you are numbing your senses. Consequently you become less and less in touch with your feelings.

In this state, you give up your power to coffee. Consequently you operate dependent on coffee, like a robot is dependant on an energy source.

So what happens to your productivity when you dull your senses?

Do you save time and improve your quality of life?

Because you numbed your feelings, you are no longer aware that you need to empty your cup of the negative situations of your day. The negativity stays in the body, like you are wound up like an old alarm clock.

As a result it becomes difficult to sleep at night. What this means is that you get up in the morning feeling restless and eager to get your coffee fix.

In my 14 years of helping people improve their quality of life, the addiction stops when you have a health issue and/or the doctor tells you to have less coffee.

So what is the moral of the Story?

Eliminating coffee from your daily routine can be a very harsh reality; however, to save time and improve your quality of life, it is usually a blessing in disguise.
