Life is absolutely hectic these days. Between work, family, and trying to squeeze in some me time/self-care/relaxation, it can be tough to keep up. But there's one thing that always gets me through: coffee. I deeply love the flavor of a good cup of joe, and it gives me the motivation I need to tackle the day.

Of course, I also know that sleep is essential. But sometimes, when you're hustling through a busy schedule, it can be hard to get enough shut-eye. So, on those days when I'm feeling particularly overwhelmed, I might just indulge in a little extra coffee (and maybe even skip a nap/power nap/quick snooze).

No condemnation here – we all have our vices. And for me, it's a warm mug of coffee and the promise of a productive day/getting things done/accomplishing my goals.

My Other Therapist is a French Press

When life gets stressful, and the usual self-care practices aren't doing the trick, I turn to my unconventional source of comfort: a trusty brewing device.

Each sip carries with it a wave of calm, grounding me in the present moment.

• In other instances, it's simply a pleasant break from the constant chaos.
