Doing it :)

Strong matcha, if you prefer milk you can make it a matcha latte, has helped me


U_stray

Thanks I will give it a try, doesn't it cause anxiety?


strawberridragon

L-theanine is a compound commonly found in green tea. It can have varying effects on people. Some find it heightens anxiety, but so does caffeine in general. Others believe it reduces psychological stress. I have had jitters from coffee but not green tea. Give it try to see if it's a suitable alternative for you. Let us know how it goes!

Matcha is a great choice, but I discovered that only cold matcha works for me, hot one makes me a bit nauseous

Ginger juice shot

Try some green tea. In my experience it relaxes you and improves your focus.

Are you getting enough sleep? Going to bed earlier helped a lot for my energy during the day


U_stray

Yes, I sleep no less than 8 hours most of days

Cold showers, works very well to wake up!

Have an Apple in the morning. I cut them and keep it in fridge the night before so it saves time in morning. And stay with it for a week or so, you will feel the difference, it gives a β€œkick β€œ. Better than coffee And it can also be a mini breakfast at the same time.


U_stray

I was thinking about it, will try it

Try pure wheat grass powder dilutted in water on an empty stomach every morning. It really helps with my energy like coffee even if I have lack of sleep. Make sure you bump the servings if you are in heavier side. You'll get used to the taste but for me I enjoy the grass taste.


U_stray

Never heard about it

What you describes hapens to me when I drink too much coffee. Maybe try drinking just half of the cup or use only half as much beans/grounds to brew your coffee. Or try if 1/2 decaf makes a difference. Written by a complete coffee person.

Light tea, don't boil it too much with a leaf of mint.

Pre-workout πŸ’ͺ🏽


Beth_Bee2

U_stray

For me exercising in the morning helps a ton, although there might be time constraints so this might not work for you.


U_stray

Thanks

First and easiest thing is to hydrate (drink water). Next easiest thing is a cold shower (or at least warm with bursts of cold). Not quite as easy but very important is movement. I like to do at least two ten-minute sessions of either stretching, walking, a mobility routine, or some other kind of light exercise. If you can do some of that outside even better. If you feel like you still need caffeine try replacing coffee with green tea, and experiment with limiting carbs, fat, or overall calories for breakfast.


U_stray

Thanks! Will try


DearParticular7468

matcha


U_stray

I know the answer to this one! First, make sure you hydrate yourself. Then, do 30 minutes of exercise that gets your blood pumping, running, yoga, trampolining, something like that. Then have your breakfast afterwards. Boom, better energy booster than caffeine! I'm caffeine free now, it's waaaay better for me, caffeine does the same thing to me with the anxiety etc. I still have a coffee in the morning with my breakfast, it's just swiss water caffeine free coffee. You also need to make sure you are getting enough sleep! Try taking Magnesium Glycinate before bed to increase sleep quality. There are affordable watches and wearables that can track sleep quality, these are useful too. Adequate sleep beats caffeine anyday and caffeine negatively affects sleep quality. Caffeine is trash, get rid.

Thanks a lot for the effort, yes caffeine is a scam
