Slow is good

I did my 2nd cacao ceremony tonight at @edgecity since the 1st one 5 years ago in Medellín, Colombia. Both were amazing. Because I was prepared for this one with something I needed to think through I feel that I took away even more than the 1st time.

I'm well disciplined in every area of health I can think of except for sleep.
- During my session I thought about how I can create positive feelings in the evening before bed
- What I came up with is to think about how "slow is good". Slowing down and doing less leads to rest and sleep.
- I realized before the session that I associate being tired with feeling bad and that I pump myself up in the evening to feel good about what I did that day or the upcoming day instead of allowing myself to feel tired
- I didn't like "sleep is good" because that is too goal oriented. If I'm not sleeping right away than I could feel anxious.

coffee

One of my favorite things when visiting friends is waking up to freshly made coffee. Using the "delay" feature I can wake up to freshly made coffee everyday!

I forgot about this tiny Mr. Coffee machine I had from college in a box. There's an added bonus for me looking forward to the great beans (ceremonycoffee.com now) and fresh cup in the morning when going to bed.

- A hemp filter is great in both pour overs and a coffee maker because it's reusable and if you use good beans adds flavor like cooking with a cast iron pan
- Pour overs are great for exploring the full flavor of beans. When my friend and I did a blind taste test though we discovered the beans matter more for flavor than the brewing method. It's all about the beans.

Thinking about the fresh cup of coffee with great quality beans brewed for me in the morning is an added thing to look forward to when going to bed.

Using an affordable drip coffee machine's "delay" feature to automate the brew makes this easy.

Still looking forward to coffee in the morning. Mr Coffee has been cancelled though.

Thank you @nocrimez.eth for pointing out it's made mostly of plastic and likely is emitting a lot of microplastics by heating up water.

Back to the good ol' metal kettle for hot water and hemp filter pour over. I'll look into upgrading to a porcelain and|or metal pour over filter.
