Why I Quit Coffee for Matcha

I quit coffee 119 days ago.

Why?

While some studies show coffee to have benefits, it’s still a substance, and any substance can be abused.

As a traveler, it was my:

☕️ Lifeline during 4:30 am zombie walks through airports

☕️ “Acceptable” replacement for alcohol, which I quit 6 months ago

☕️ Familiar substance no matter the country, co-working space, or hotel I was drinking WAY too much coffee, including as late as 11pm.

The result?

Poor sleep, energy crashes, increased anxiety, and dependence.

Each moment without a full mug I felt compelled to get more.

It was always available and cheap.

Energy is my foundation for success and I had to disrupt my habit.

I tried Steve O'Dell's Raspberry flavored matcha over a year ago (which I'm begging him to bring back), and was hooked to this amazing green tea.

Like any other habit, the central message of this hack is “AVAILABILITY”

🍵I had to make matcha as EASY as coffee.

This goes for anything in your life. Make the good habits easy, make bad habits difficult.
