Things like even reducing or giving up coffee and caffeine was a long journey for me of slowing cutting it out and products like Caf-Lib have been a game changer in allowing me to still enjoy the taste and ritual of drinking my cup of Joe in the morning without adding to stress and anxiety levels. Trust me I’ve been there and can completely relate!įor me one of my new years resolutions for 2018 was to add self-care back into my life and put myself first. I do think that a lot of people rely on this liquid stimulant as a way to get through their day, push through when their body is actually exhausted and when you can’t even start your day without a cup and not have a dreadful headache creeping around the corner. I’m not saying coffee is the worst thing in the world nor am I saying I think you should entirely remove it from your diet. Being Portuguese I grew up drinking coffee from a very young age and never thought anything of it until I got older and realized caffeine consumption was playing a big part in my anxiety and stress levels… who knew?! When something is so ingrained into your daily habit and culture it can be the hardest thing to see it as a potential negative thing.
