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.

Your kid’s ride to school cancelled last minute, what fun. You spilled your morning coffee all over your laptop, RIP. Some things are simply out of our control, but building a healthier mindset can make all the difference when it comes to rolling with the punches and coming out on top.

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.

It only takes a couple of minutes to create calming moments that leave you feeling a little more grounded, balanced and refreshed.
