The dreaded Summer cold has set in!
It started yesterday with a sore throat and has now made it into my head and nose.
In general, I am feeling pretty lousy.
It's how I am feeling, not how I am.
I am in a really good place, going about my work, handling what needs to be handled and taking care of myself in an effort to minimize the length and severity of my symptoms.
One great by product of this is that I decided to have a cup of tea last night to sooth my throat.It worked for a while. So just before bed I had another. This morning I opted to fill my travel mug with tea again, forgoing my normal morning coffee on my drive to into work.
It was then that I decided to use this 21 day reset period as an opportunity to detox from my 5-6 cups of Joe a day.
21 days..tea....no coffee.
My mentor Darren Hardy has challenged me in the past to give up something for 21 days . He uses this exercise to make sure that these "habits" are not dependencies.
In the past I have done a number of 21 day challenges with myself.
21 days of not eating after 8 pm.
21 days of reading every night before going to bed.
21 days of absolutely no television.
21 days of no meat.
I have tried the no coffee thing once before.
I think it lasted about 3 days!
Having it coincide with my reset period sounds like a good as well as a novel idea.
It will actually allow me to add coffee back when I start my next cycle.
A gain while I lose!
I am pretty excited about this challenge I have presented to myself.
Now if I can just shake this dang head cold!
