A while ago I wrote an article talking about how I might be struggling with some anxiety. As I have continued to research this, I keep running across one piece of advice: the consumption of coffee can lead to anxiety.

I drink a lot of coffee. Upwards of 3 to 6 cups a day! I also talk about my passion for coffee in another post as well if you want to check that out.

With these two things in mind, I decided to take on the challenge of no coffee for a whole week.

I decided to keep my morning ritual of drinking a hot beverage while I have some quiet time. My beverage of choice here was MUD/WTR, which has a slight chai tea flavor to it. It was really nice!

In the afternoons I would typically enjoy a nice cup of hot green tea while I wrote an article or paid some bills.

This challenge was amazing! I don’t think I will ever go back to coffee again!

Hahaha! That was such a lie!
