#Caution very likely leads to [[irritability]] # Caffeine Be specific. ([[theobromine|Chocolate]]), [[coffee|coffee]], and [[green tea]] are all different. ## Had caffeine and want to reduce the harm? - [[Breathe]] and [[enjoy]] it already - [[l-theanine]] - Lots of water - [[sweat]] through physical activity - I looked into what they do for overdose and there is no silver bullet #ToResearch [[drug effects over time]] Currently the most common reason I have chocolate is a friend offers me (often because I got them chocolate)...so maybe I should stop getting friends chocolate. ## re: Sleep and Caffeine - you assume that you won't be able to sleep - This is incorrect, you will likely just need to try a little harder - It is possible to sleep having had to much caffeine... ## Remember.. - You do not need it. - [[Erm the evil demon]] wants me to have caffeine - Craving caffeine? Remember that [[patience is a super power]]. - Remember that [[progress can be wearying|weariness]] is normal, [[how ever you show up is fine]], it is okay to go a little slower. ## What I have noticed about caffeine - I find caffeine is a rough [[stimulants]] / [[drugs|drug]] - It can cause or make hard emotions harder to deal with - [[Dependency]] builds up super quick. - [[tolerance]] builds super quick ## Looking for energy? - better air, [[Breathe]], [[move]], [[hydrate]] - [[cold water]] - ?[[coca]] ## Related - decaf coffee is delicious - [[caffeine log]] - [[Feedback loops]] - [[green tea]] seems quite healthy for you. - [[sleep]] - [[not a good solution]] - If the only thing I needed to do was be physically active then I think caffeine would be more than fine, but in a world where my mental health needs attention it just isn't worth adding into the equation. (also I've [[Hiking|hike]]d ~18km without caffeine and was more than fine)
