DAE use coffee rituals to manage work from home stress?

Just found out that having a set coffee routine cuts my anxiety on busy days. It gives me a moment to pause and plan. Such a simple fix for feeling overwhelmed.

seriously, a coffee routine fixes anxiety? feels like treating a broken leg with a bandaid.

Yeah, the bandaid thing is right. I mean, these habits can make us feel better for a bit, like @tyler_young mentioned, but for big worry, it's just a quick cover. We all want easy answers because they're simple, but they don't get to the root. It's like hiding the mess instead of cleaning it up. Idk, maybe it's just me, but we gotta stop pretending small fixes heal deep wounds.

My friend Jenna says her coffee routine cuts her stress in half. It's like how people now have a quick fix for everything, from sleep to work. We hold onto these small habits because they make us feel in charge when things are messy. But for big worry, that's like using a bandaid on a deep cut. It might cover it up for a bit, but you need real help to heal.
