Finished an entire movie
This may seem small, but I can’t remember the last time I sat through an entire movie without stopping or looking at my phone. Even better, it’s a genre that I’ve never cared for.
I’m on day 19 of my new caffeine-free life and I’ve noticed several benefits, including less rumination, less stress/anxiety, sustainable energy throughout the day, and vivid dreams, among others.
For context, I tried quitting caffeine 3 times before this but threw in the towel because of the lack of motivation and daytime fatigue. This time, I tapered down from 1-2 cups of coffee to 0 caffeine over a 10-day period and it has been relatively easy so far. I’d like to think I’ve earned it given it’s my fourth time quitting over the last 2 years lol.
During my peak consumption days, I was easily drinking >600mg of caffeine per day. Mostly coffee with some green tea. I’m excited to start this next chapter of my life and encourage you all to keep at it!
