I am Caffeine Free and I Love it
Because I am free from my dependency on caffeine, I feel renewed energy. I am now able to enjoy the beauty of each day without the turbulent effect caffeine has on my nervous system.
Sure, caffeine provides me with an instant energy boost. However, I pay for that instant gratification many times over throughout the rest of the day. Instead, I choose to fuel my body with food and drinks that provide lasting energy and health.
Within just a few short hours of my caffeine jolt, my energy levels drop dramatically, I experience painful headaches and I am jumpy and paranoid. Considering that caffeine causes so much harm to my body, I choose to forgo it completely.
Of course, I certainly can indulge in a cup of coffee every now and then if I crave the taste, but my indulgence is strictly an optional leisure, rather than a necessity to move forward with my day. When I do, often times I opt for a decaffeinated cup of coffee.
Now that I am caffeine free, my energy comes from the proper amount of sleep. I now realize that my health is my most important obligation. And, ridding myself of caffeine and making sleep a priority are the necessary first steps to leading a balanced lifestyle.
Today, I marvel at my ability to carry myself throughout the day without caffeine. The corporate world is dependent on this socially acceptable drug. However, I choose to take my health seriously and ban caffeine from my daily intake.
