Anyone who has been at my blog, even twice, would know there
is a definite difference between how I perceive thoughts and situations and
react and how the more normal world behaves. This includes the pattern in
which a cup of tea makes appreciable
contributions to my everyday life.
Usual: To Awaken Yourself
My Take: To Calm Overactive Senses
Most people I know talk about having
tea to awaken their senses, earlier in the day to wake-up from the
slumber and during the day to regain their mental acuity. However, with me
things are rather different. Think of me as an overworked, almost always
engaged mind. I have this habit of digging so deep into the work that often I start
blinking too infrequently and, as a result, my eyes get dry and irritated. This
is why, for me, taking a few sips of tea is
about interrupting my self-righteous habits that tend to exhaust me. This is
not therapeutic for me. This is more of lifestyle management. Simple thing like
ordering the tea or pouring it in my cup and sitting back to catch a break
really helps to disengage the slightly over-stimulated sense, helping me regain
that sense of calmness.
