Title is basically it.

For me, it’s usually coffee, or anything spicy, like cayenne pepper. Apple cider vinegar usually does it, too.

    A lot of tea for me, especially earthy flavors. Shou Puerh tea is like a magical grounding experience for me every time I drink it. I love coffee and drink that daily, but when I really need to just be I break into the puerh stash.

    For evenings I like a lot of herbal teas. Rooibos is probably my favorite. Lately I have been drinking a lot of lemon ginger tea with a splash of apple cider vinegar before bed.

    That’s a thing? Like relaxing? I don’t think I have experienced that.

      Haha, thanks. I wasn’t interested in relaxing…more grounding.

      Like I wouldn’t consider hot peppers relaxing (maybe once the endorphins kick in), but it does help me stay in the moment. Stuff like that.

    I don’t think I’ve ever considered this before. How interesting.

    My first thought is mushrooms. I think it’s the umami of them specifically. Totally unrelated, but I also think bourbon & Scotch would qualify. I tend to be very intentional when I’m in the (infrequent) mood for strong spirits, and it tends to be a quiet evening with a fire and/ or instrumental jazz.
