I gave up coffee when I was pregnant and a little bit beyond that and experienced so much callllllm. It helped me to lean into that word. Calm. Cultivating a life of calm. It’s interesting that when I invited it back in my focus shifted to joooy 😁 Life with coffee is good, but much more up and down. Interesting. I’m curious to hear more about this journey and am here for your next post on your journey with God/Jesus. So encouraged by your honesty and sharing the journey—even if it feels hard to do at time as you’re still doing much of your own processing (as am I, for me) on the other side of posting. It’s appreciated. 💛
I accidentally gave up coffee a few months ago, we had a hurricane come through where I live and we had no power or water (we are on a well) for 6.5 days, so things like water for coffee had to go out the window. When I tried to drink it again I realized how much it was fueling my stress hormones!
I’m drinking SWP decafe right now, but thinking of giving that up as well. Oh I also gave up drinking awhile ago as well (I forget that all the time now because it’s just not a thing for me now).
I don’t think I realized how much of a depression I went through after giving it up, too much was going on in my life that I kept blaming my depression/anxiety on (I’m sure it was contributing to it as well), but I feel like I’m coming out on the other side really focused on what my passions in life truly are. Plus really connecting with nature and doing nervous system work has helped a ton as well.
I think our world has blinders on when it comes to coffee and how it os driving our stress filled overworking, never resting society. I’m just wondering when it’s going to crash.
i DON'T like the robot voice!!! when it's robot, i just read it myself and it's your voice in my head...i haven't had coffee for a week...i still have the headaches and i get this moment of sadness every morning when i leave my house and think i'm going to dunkin, then realize i'm not😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Can’t wait for part II of New Age Demons! I too have decided to work on my hormones stuff this year. I have insulin resistant PCOS and my goal is to stop ignoring it, and actually do something about it outside of the the doctor recommended “just lose weight”. I’m pretty sure it’s going to require me cutting back on coffee too. #Tears

Neautral New Year to you too!
Hope you can be "a boring buzzkill" that feels really good soon!
I am choosing to ignore all these points about coffee for the time being though 🙈
