Hey Fool.
Recently I gave up drinking a beloved energy drink, that I was pretty attached to. I’d drink it up to 3 times a day, and just one of them had 300mg of caffeine (I was doing this for over a year).
I’ve always been fairly caffeine intolerant, so I didn’t think much would change… but the timing of it all is the reason for this post.
What I failed to notice was my nervousness, my over-reactivity, being over-stimulated became my new normal.
When focusing inevitably became hard, I imagined it was from boredom– not my drink of choice.
So why did I quit and why does it matter?
I started a new habit.
Muay Thai.
After going for a week, this became my new love interest and this energy drink, and all my other bad habits (lack of sleep, waking up at insane hours, not focusing) were just getting in the way.
I quit cold turkey.
With this newer, better habit, consuming my life- other areas began to change. My sleep improved, I found myself more level headed and my focus returned.
Habits are destiny.
No magic, no spirituality, no none of that needed.
Changing tiny things, changes everything. There isn’t an area in your life this isn’t true. The difference between where you are and where you want to be is habits.
Figure out which ones you need, and start them.
It really is that simple.
