When was the last time you sat and had a cup of tea or coffee and really took your time to enjoy it? Nowadays, we often snatch a quick cup of something, maybe don't even finish it before it gets cold or don't even notice it if we're catching up with friends.  This is all good but my challenge today is to take some #trulymetime to sit alone and savour a cup of tea. (I know it's not quite a Sir Ranulph Fiennes type of challenge but really if you saw how little I sat down for a quiet cuppa you'd understand). I have yet to decide which kind of tea I'll go for.  I'm not big on the fruit teas. Don't mind a chamomile but have recently bought a lovely Yogi Tea called Stomach Ease. It's made with cardamom, fennel and ginger and is delicious and very calming on the system. The wonderful lot at @greenshealthfoods recommended it.⠀
⠀
So here's how to have a mindful cup - these are very complicated instructions so pay attention!  Choose your brew and find a quiet place to sip it – and make sure to just sip it.  Really taste each mouthful. Close your eyes, enjoy the scent and feel the warmth of the drink and your body relaxing as you sit.  Be aware of your sensations and if you have a thought, let it enter into and then pass through your mind without following it.  I know it might sound naff, but if that's the only five minutes of quiet mindfulness you get today then it'll all be worth it.⠀
⠀
I suspect I might repeat this later with a glass of wine. ⠀
