When you hear the words health and wellness, what do you think about? Is it nutrition and fitness? What about taking deep breaths throughout the day, stepping outside in nature or taking some time to...rest. Rest is such an essential part of our overall well-being.
I know, I know. We have busy lives, between work, family, and just life-what is rest? And who has time for it? Rest increases our capacity for self-awareness, while improving our memory recall, empathy, moral judgments, and ability to imagine the future. Rest boosts our immune system, calms us, while also charging our batteries so we can have energy to do our day-to-day activities all over again.
Rest can make you feel guilty. In todays world, if you aren’t busy doing a million things at once, then you may be considered lazy. That’s why here at Tea, Please, we want to encourage you to take a break and truly rest. Whether you have a couple of days, couple of hours or just a few minutes-rest. That’s the beauty of loose leaf teas-you have to take the time to allow it steep. Stop and smell the tea, literally and don’t you dare feel guilty about it.
What good does it do to make healthier food choices, workout, buy the herbs for this and that, if you don’t give yourself time to recover. You can’t be everything to everybody if you first don’t take care of you. It’s time to take your self care seriously and pour into your cup, first.
Here are a few teas that we recommend to keep you in perfect calm, peace and with darn good sleep. AnxieTEA, Breathe EZ, Sweet Dreams.
