Today it was below freezing in Stockholm, Sweden, when I woke up and my soar throat had gotten worse. It made me realise how grateful I am to have and be able to drink the kind of teas I prefer. I have chosen this brand since more than two decades regardless of whether I’ve lived in Sweden, Germany, Portugal or the United States and feel happy with them. In the morning, I enjoy Ginger-Lemon with honey, to wake me up gently and boost my immune system. When I want to give myself some more care, I choose a cup of Green Chai.

In the afternoon, I like to drink some Hibiscus tea that is both refreshing and re-energising without any caffeine. Sometimes I choose Echinacea to curb a cold or regular green tea to aid digestion.

All in all, making conscious decisions with awareness enable us both to feel free and in charge of our lives, at least in this department. And of course, this means that we can set the conditions for good health the way we want. A true life coaching necessity.

Which teas do you prefer? Or do you prefer coffee? And do you consciously choose tastes and brands when you go shopping?
