If you’re drinking tea but not really paying attention to it, chances are you’re thinking about what’s next, you’re distracted, and missing the present moment.

It’s a form of self-care, patience, and gratitude.So don’t chug your coffee or tea like you’re on a rushed work break.Sip it slowly and with care, as if it’s the most important thing you’re doing — no rushing, no thinking ahead.

“Drinking a cup of tea becomes a direct and wondrous experience in which the distinction between subject and object no longer exists. — Thich Nhat Hanh.”

Only this actual moment is life.
