Ah I broke my no caffeine streak the other day. I had a task I needed to power through (which historically, caffeine has always done the job) but instead it just got me super anxious and I procrastinated on other tasks
Being an adult is fulfilling your obligations, and I'm now wondering if I've changed much from that anxious teenager who'd rather build a lego fort than do their homework. This year needs to END.
Ah, nevermind! Get back on that horse. I'm still getting caffeine from tea, but a lot less. I'm drinking decaf coffee in the morning, and I'm noticing I get a lot less pleasure from it. I'll eventually be able to drop coffee altogether perhaps.
Still, I'm having just a cup of yerba mate with lunch, though it is super strong stuff. Different feel, a much steadier buzz. I might try to go with just black tomorrow all the same.
May you find the even rounded buzz you were looking for!
