Detoxification
On Tuesday I decided that I was going to cut back on coffee. 
One cup of coffee per day first thing in the morning and that’s it. I know.
Blasphemy all over my face!
The thing is, my anxiety is getting the best of me and turning me into a crazed lunatic. Seriously. I find myself snapping at the littlest of things. I’m nervous and irritable all too often. I catch myself doing multiple things at once without finishing most of them. Then there are days where I can’t bring myself to do anything. And let’s not forget about the inevitable breakdowns. The uncontrollable weeping.
My mood swings can give Mother Nature a run for her money.
This is not a good thing. In fact, it’s kind of pathetic when I think about it. The worst part is that the hubs and my girls endure the chaos it brings when my mood swings.
I am making a conscious effort to change this. My mood affects the way my family functions, so I feel like I need to do this. Even if my entire body and soul says DON’T YOU EVEN DARE TAKE AWAY ALL OF OUR CAFFEINE! My family needs this and so do I. If there was one thing I should do to improve our lives, it would be this. I honestly believe this is the next step to making our lives better.
I’ve already written about other things I’ve decided to quit which has made my life better. Those things are more for my mental health. By reducing the caffeine I drink while increasing the water, I will be benefiting my physical health, as well as mental. Because those of you that know me well, know I AM MENTAL.
So here’s my next step into improving myself in order to improve my family’s life. I may not be the best mother and wife at times, but I’m hoping this will make me a little bit better. For them.
