Stress Relief/Taking Care of Me - Feeling Stressed? Have a Cup of Tea!
For those of us who have had our lives upended by divorce or anyone who has stress in their lives, we can all benefit from a nice cup of tea. From what I have been reading, a warm, soothing cup of tea could go a long way toward promoting health and wellbeing.
The tea plant contains L-theanine, which according to Artful Tea, is a "beneficial compound that helps reduce anxiety and promote relaxation and wellbeing." Many would say just the ritual of making tea has a calming effect on people.
I found a list of the best teas for stress relief on Artful Tea.
- Mint Teas-This was my mom's favorite.
- Chamomile Teas
- Lavender Teas
- Rose Teas
- Matcha Tea
My mom and I used to drink mint tea together. I now find that the scent of the mint and the act of preparing the tea is a soothing ritual that also brings back fond memories of my mom. I now know that tea can help decrease at least some of the anxiety in my life.
I am off to make some hot tea on this freezing day in North Carolina. I am looking forward to a relaxing day:-) So if you are feeling anxious give tea a try.
God Bless You On This Journey,
