A Cup of Tea for Productivity
A Cup of Tea for Productivity
“A woman is like a tea bag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
When you think about all the resources for greater productivity, as a female entrepreneur, tea is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. However, all the benefits a brewed cup can provide, may just surprise you. As Eleanor Roosevelt so eloquently put it, women and tea have something in common… their strength.
When you are massively busy with countless items on your “to-do” list sitting down with a warm cup of tea may sound counterproductive, even ridiculous. But, taking a few moments to sip and enjoy the aroma brings your mind, body, and spirit back to the present with greater clarity and focus. Quite the accomplishment for a simple cup of tea isn’t it!
More ways tea can help with your productivity:
Boosts Creativity
Enjoying a cup of tea relaxes the body improving circulation and boosting creativity. The polyphenols in some teas have even been shown to help maintain the parts of the brain associated with learning and memory. You may just start seeing opportunities where you did not before.
Mindfulness
When you are stuck without solutions, overwhelmed by all your tasks, taking a few moments to be present and mindful is the best thing you can do. As you practice mindfulness on a daily basis, you become better at being present and managing your time.
Better Sleep
Not a lot increases your productivity, as well as, a good night’s sleep! A warm cup of chamomile, valerian, fennel or hyssop tea serves as an excellent remedy for insomnia. You can drift to sleep peacefully, waking up the next day more refreshed and ready to take on the world!
Tea can hydrate the body, boost your metabolism, and increase endurance. Not only will you accomplish more, but also, thanks to the high antioxidant power, you will look fabulous doing it! Cheers to productivity through a soothing cup!
