Every quarter or so, I cut my coffee consumption from 3-5 cups a day down to zero. It hurts, I'm not going to lie. But, it helps me get back to baseline and make sure I'm not covering up important emotions (looking at you, sadness, fear, and anger). I know the more I can feel what we call "negative" emotions, the more space I have for joy, wonder and love. Sometimes we do need to push through. I get that. Coffee plays an important role for me in doing that. But, I find I'm often telling myself that I need to push through, not because I really need to get something done, but because I'm running from the discomfort. Once I give myself the time to feel whatever is going on (and that might be an hour, or a day, or longer), I find renewed energy. I find my path. When I avoid the feelings too long, that's when I can really get lost.  #selfcare #emotionalwellness #mentalhealthawareness
