Let’s take a break because this year summer feels harder than ever!
Madness! 😀
I lost a few pounds, not that I wanted to, but I have increased the amount of liquids intake. When the weather is this hot, I drink about 2l of water and 4 cups of tea daily. Not even counting the fresh juices in between, haha. Just need to hydrate a lot. My body doesn’t like this temperature (it’s 40C here) for a long time. If I would live by the ocean I’m sure I would survive 🙂 but in the city … too much.
I thought about what does the trick and helps me get through the very hot days. Maybe it could help some of you as well…
Believe it or not, it’s yoga and tea. And I had a moment to think this through because at first, it didn’t make much sense to me. Yoga? How can that be a thing to navigate the hot days?! You move, stretch or hold the poses, either way, your body gives some effort. But! Then I realized, it actually calms me down, inside, brings everything to alignment and those nervous moments that heat can create are gone. That’s how it works. So I take time almost every day to practice it. Just meditating for 20 min a day can also do this trick, keep that in mind.
The same thoughts ran through my mind when I thought about tea. Warm tea? On a very warm day? Nope. Until I tried it. I barely ever drink ice tea, sincerely, almost never, not even cold tea. It is the healthiest while it’s warm, but I also enjoy it that way the most.
Now, I have new summer tea coming up but I’ll tell you all about it once it’s launched 🙂 Some of you are already enjoying my blends, and for those who haven’t checked them out yet, feel free to play the music on the website and browse through;
I know that for some countries shipping costs are a bummer (I hate them, too) but that’s something we can not avoid. On the other hand, there are also digital files, like books that will help you make tea beverages yourself… or even tea baths… Nothing works for our body and mind like the sweet mother nature 🙂
It’s all available on the website where you’re always welcome.
I will go now sip my tea and enjoy the evening…
Stay well, stay cool 😉
