Iβm going to learn how to treat myself better which will start with what I put into my body. I learned my mental state and energy is directly affected by what I am consuming.

Cut down on my caffeine consumption
I actually already cut down on drinking coffee. I was drinking venti cold brews with no problems, but since the hurricane when I went a couple of days without any and now I can barely finish a grande which is quite and accomplishment for me. I want to incorporate more tea into my life because I noticed when I drink coffee the crash is unbearable sometimes and it affects my appetite as well. Over the new few months I want to completely remove coffee from my diet in favor of more healthier options.
Replace coffee with tea
So I currently have 3 kinds of tea that I keep on hand:
Green tea with ginger - to settle my stomach
Chamomile - to relax
Yogi positive energy tea - if I need a little pick me up during the day
Start drinking drinking smoothies
I want to start incorporating more fruits and veggies into my diet but I donβt actually want to eat them if that makes sense. My goal is to have a daily smoothie in the morning to use as a supplement for breakfast since I rarely eat in the mornings.
Grocery list:
Personal blender
Frozen fruits: mangos, strawberries
Orange juice
Flax seeds
Spinach
Bananas

Stop vaping
This has definitely been a long term goal of mine not only for health reasons but for monetary reasons as well. Currently I am spending $26 a week on my brand of choice. I also noticed when I donβt vape my appetite comes back and my breathing gets better.
Week one
No vaping during work hours, includes my commute to work
No vaping while I am running errands
Goal: No vaping first thing in the morning

Overall this seems like a good place to start and create solid foundations where I can eventually improve on. Yay for self development??
