I feel like a plate spinner. I’ve got so many things going on at the moment. My current mantra is

“Be cool, bitch! Be cool!”

Trying not to become anxious and overwhelmed. Such a strange thing, anxiety. This built in response meant to save us in sticky situations but fails to work correctly in our modern world. At work a lot of people come in looking for ways to manage their anxiety levels. There are meditation practices and herbs that are effective, for sure. Chamomile, Valerian, Kava, Lavender, Ashwaganda.. but I find that knowing when to tell people NO is an effective cure if not a preventative strategy. This is where I find myself right now. I’ve got enough going on and now it’s NO time.

Day 37: Quinoa, kimchi, avocado, tofu, coconut amino acids, seeds. AND I found a pretty great coffee alternative! RASA! It’s cocao based with just a little caffeine but tons of adrenal pleasing adaptogens. I’m thrilled! Now.. back to what I was doing..
