I would be this, which would have been my Feel Good Friday post, but you've beaten me to it. 😆 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/meUfER4YEIE

@Jeanna Finch

I just decided to give up caffeine. Not really the chief concern I have as of late, but I'm making a ginger lemon thing in the mornings that I've frozen into ice cubes, and with a little bit of honey and/or stevia, it's just the act of holding a warm beverage that I need. I'm curious to see if I feel any different! My consumption was creeping up, so I'm seeing what happens. We talk about an experimental mindset here all the time, so I'm leaning in. I think it's important to periodically make changes, as that's what we're asking our clients to do all the time!

@Jeanna Finch I don't think I'm experiencing any withdrawal. It was typically 2 cups in the morning, and I re-used those two bags in a third cup, which was probably rendered decaf at that point! Anything else later was decaf or green, so not that much. I just felt like I was always *wanting* it, which is never a good sign. I might consider other yummy stuff to freeze into ice cubes that could be dropped into hot water. Any other ideas!? I could even freeze bone broth into cubes and then I could have several cups and it wouldn't matter.

@Jeanna Finch I thought you said no juice!?!?!?

@Kyra Borjon Hi Kyra! Totally valid concern. We see people all the time who have tried so many times that they think it can't be done, and we are all about doing this in a way where you aren't starving, and I think that's the ticket. New habits can be hard, but not as hard when you are not hungry, and that's our plan. I wonder how many people might benefit from this reassurance? That sure, you might have some cravings in the beginning, but as blood sugar stabilizes, they diminish greatly! We talk about all of this both in Mindset Mastery as well as our Emotional Eating courses. And I agree with Jeanna - please invite people in. It's a low-stakes way of seeing what it's all about and deciding when one is ready.

Agh, I usually join my mother-in-law for dinner on Wednesdays, and will probably miss these too. Occasionally I skip, so I'll come as able!

@Jeanna Finch LOL, it's tricky. Let's chat when we meet next but it also matters when others can meet! Maybe it needs to rotate each week? Although that's hard to keep track of, I know!

C'mon, you gotta give this to people so they don't have to ask! 😆 https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/it2019s-gonna-be-may
