Tea Time!

I recently discovered something really special. First of all, before I share my find, let me ask you; "do you like tea?"  You are either a tea enthusiast or you don't drink tea at all. Well, I have always been a "sleepy time tea" drinker only. I love sleepy time tea. I remember whenever my mom or sister would be over my house, visiting, sleeping over or when I go to their houses, we all do the same thing. We will ask, "do you want some Sleepy time tea?" We bond together as we each dim the lights of the room we are in, turn off electronics and we usually have a candle burning as we chat and sip our teas in unity.
Well, I want to share my recent discovery! It's a company called, "Teamotions." Imagine, you have found the perfect company to endorse and join, well I found it. I am now officially a Teamotions Ambassador. They have 6 signature blends designed to be more than 'drinking tea.' This is why I am so excited to be an ambassador, the teas are; Seek Peace, Discover Joy, Have Hope, Achieve Clarity, Find Strength, and Enjoy Rest. Here is more from the founders about the unique blends and benefits "Teamotions is a revolutionary tea company dedicated to helping others manage stress and support both physical and emotional well-being. We accomplish this by using adaptogen herbs and other complementary botanicals in each of our tea blends. Used for centuries and backed by science, adaptogens are stress-fighting herbs that help boost immunity, improve the body's response to all types of stress, and restore well-being in every way. We spent over a year developing each of our all natural, hand-crafted, whole leaf wellness teas sourcing the finest ingredients to create the most effective and delicious tea blends possible. They are award-winning, beautiful, enjoyable to drink, and will truly make a difference in how you feel."

Now when I think of tea, I am going to how I feel at the time, I will prepare the tea according to my mood and my life's circumstances, and I sit down, with God's word, or an encouraging person, and I will take time to understand how emotions play into my day and moods. If you are interested, I have my link for ordering https://teamotionstea.com/user/VickiYount and please enter referral code 771BB0 at the cart.
Please contact me if you have any questions about the emotional benefits Teamotions can bring to your life or someone you would like to help.

Take Time To Be Still

Taking time to renew your mind daily takes discipline. It's easy to be busy in this day and age and to be distracted with technology and all your 'to do's' on your lists of activity and plans and demands. 

As you may know from my blog, I love to travel and try new adventures. This photo you see attached to this blog post is a pic I took a couple years ago when visiting my family in Washington State for a late Christmas and Happy New Year family reunion. We rented a farm house on Whidbey Island and we all packed into this enchanting old estate. I woke up the first morning and looked out my upstairs window and this was my first view that morning. I still can't believe it's a real image. I did not use a filter on this either. This photo literally everything is "quiet", and still. The grass is frozen over by the frost created by the 23 degrees we had that morning. The bushes are frozen and can't move, there is no wind, and the colors all compliment each other to make this gorgeous view.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I look at this picture now is 'BE STILL'. I think we need to practice and make a habit of being quiet and still in our daily lives. Just like eating healthy takes developing a new habit or stopping an addiction to eating or drinking too much wine or trying to stop going online to check facebook is a habit that was created by doing it over and over, so we also need to learn to practice the new habit of stillness. 

Life Coaching Tip for you today :

1. Today wherever you are, find a window and stand there looking out at whatever is there, and stare out that view for at least 3-5 min. After you do this, take deep breaths in through your nose and exhale out through your month 3 times. Enjoy the peace of the moment and remember to do this as a new habit daily. 

Verse of the day: Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God"
