    It’s not a exageration to say that the bean is a way of life, especially when you look at it as a commodity over the centuries. Here in the uk Starbucks and Costa are now everywhere, like MacDonalds. They tap into peoples’ need for ritual and make $$$. It just so happens we work more, buy more also. If you could pick one mood smell for a shopping mall, you know what it would be: the smell of coffee.

    Never quit coffee, it gives you energy, if you feel you have too much energy after a cup, go to the zoo and run with a kangaroo. If you do quit coffee at least start drinking a fifth of vodka a day it will make you feel mellow when the bottle is empty. I still drink coffee and an hour later my arms are flying around like a boxer for 5 hours I must be burning calories like a running gazelle and my urine is a bright yellow so i can write love letters in the snow. Good luck!

Nicer background also, the video looks more vivid and professional! and ofc, this topic, it's hopeful to see more and more creators talk about p*rn for what it really is. A cheap sad nut.

    This topic is under-discussed and needs to be talked about some more. I recently discovered what was causing my stress and anxiety and always feeling extremely frustrated by any little thing that won't go my way. I used to drink a Venti size Pike Coffee in the morning and sometimes I would switch it up to a Trenta Cold Brew, unknowingly making my anxiety worse and triggering the fight-or-flight response, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol levels. If you are feeling overly anxious or stressed, consider quitting coffee do it for yourself and your loved ones around you because they suffer too.

    "Self Control" is truly a game-changer. Since discovering it, my perspective has shifted dramatically. For the past seven years, I've grappled with issues like FOMO and binary entrapment, unsure of where to even begin to tackle them. However, this content resonates deeply with my experiences. It's helped me become more aware of the root issues, particularly negative self-talk, and has provided invaluable insights on how to address them. Highly recommend for anyone seeking to gain control over their thoughts and behaviours. Thank you man for doing this for us 💪🏼

    Wow I had all exact symptoms you mentioned! Here is my story: I’ve tried to quit many many times and failed after I realized what damage to my nervous system coffee brings. So I threw away all bags of beans and replaced with: black tea, matcha and oolong tea. They all contain much less caffeine (50% less or more) but all of them have an aminoacid called L-theanine. So basically this is calming down your mind, you get a mild boost and on top of that brings you antioxidants. Im drinking these beverages for 3 months and I have better sleep, Im calmer, less agitated, more focused, I dont have racing thoughts anymore, and I feel like things are under control. With coffee it was the complete opposite I was always angry, anxious, racing thoughts, my sleep was more shalow, I was always in fight or flight mood, and had occasional panic attacks Try it, you will thank me ❤️

    A Cup of stress. Great shit. What you talk about here is spot on. I have just recently been able to quit and what a difference. Im actually starting to wonder if half of the issues we have today is from the entire world being on a drug that causes stress and high anxiety. We are hooked as a society and i dont think we know how bad it is for us. Also coffee dehydrates you obviously. But most people dont know that if your dehydrated it can affect brain function as well, with can affect your mood.

    Very helpful talk! About the fasting, I quit caffeine cold turkey 5 weeks ago and what I experience is that fasting is a lot easier now, because caffeine interferes with your bloodsugar levels. So actually fasting with caffeine is not fasting. Also I had the same anxiety, having to do new tasks and meeting new people was terrifying, this is all gone now. Wish I knew this earlier!
