When it comes to making a statement, tea has a history of taking center stage. From getting tossed into the Boston harbor circa 1773 to being used as an idiom for catching up on the latest drama—tea (and the spilling of it) has always seemed to create quite the stir when it comes to a conversation starter.

Whether you’re looking for a more energized start to your day or a cozy way to wind down, tea can also provide the best hug in a mug for your mind on many levels.

A fixed mindset is a belief that your intelligence, skills and talents are fixed, unchangeable traits. What this looks like in practice is not being good at something, let’s say gardening. A fixed mindset would find learning how to garden either from books, online, etc., to be a waste of time because there is a core belief that no matter what amount of effort is put into the task, we will never be good at it.

The type of mindset that you have will impact multiple facets of your mental health ranging from daily motivation and resilience to even a sense of self-worth.

Self-care may consist of turning up the tunes loud and cleaning the house or cooking a meal. Whatever helps to boost your mood, a good playlist always helps. 

Check out our "Good Mood Tunes" Spotify playlist and try not to smile, sing along and dance to these tunes.

Writing is an effective method for many people to unplug and assess their emotions and reactions. However, a daily gratitude journal is a leveled-up version that can help us with long-term happiness, healthy social circles and even calm us down for more restful sleep.

Between all the hustle (and side hustles) it makes sense that self-care regularly gets shoved to the backburner so we can focus on our daily demands. However, that often comes at a cost for our mental energy and wellbeing.
