Which do you prefer? Which of these gets you ready for the day?
Perhaps the question is more about needing caffeine or preferring a certain taste.
Which of these jolts your nerves and sparks your creativity and productivity?
Perhaps the need for caffeine is just a myth and all you need is a glass of cold water to start the day.
Hmmmm . . .
I’m a coffee drinker—drink it almost every day unless I’m feeling ill. If I don’t get my coffee, I feel empty. It’s almost a necessity at this point—something I look forward to when I wake up.
If I don’t get my cup of coffee, I feel like my day has been thrown for a loop. I won’t feel refreshed. Nothing seems right. My ability to function is off kilter.
It’s as if I’m going through a physiological reaction when I’m without coffee. I need it to satisfy my taste buds, my nervous system. And it’s not just having any kind of coffee. It has to be bold—dark.
Decaf or medium just won’t do. Drinking those will feel like I took the wrong medicine. I’ll know because my nerves won’t be jolted, my mind won’t be as active.
And the creamer has to be just right. It can’t be half and half or 2% or any of that nonsense. It has to be my preferred brand and flavor (sweet creamer).
Once I have my cup of coffee (or two), my day will start off well. Even if I’m stuck in traffic or going through a rough morning, coffee will get me through it. The slow start won’t really matter so much, since I know I can sip it away.
