Green Tea Bag Wisdom

Sereni-tea

You’ve heard me talk about tea bag wisdom in the past, but this time I’m taking the wisdom a step further.  Not only are those little sayings on my tea bags good for the soul, now here’s an article that talks about how good green tea is for the heart :-)

But not to feel like you are short-changed, here are a few words of wisdom to think about when drinking your next cup of green tea.

 

“All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire.”  Aristotle

 

So what do your actions say about you?  Do you take chances or focus on a goal and work toward it?  Do you surround yourself in nature or get caught up with everyday stresses?  Are you compulsive or do you honor your body and work diligently to accomplish your goals?  Are your habits good or bad for you? Do you listen to others before reacting?  Where is your passion?  What do you desire?  Hmm.  That’s a lot to think about.

 

Let me make this short and end with a Chinese Proverb: “When the heart is at ease, the body is healthy.” 

 

Drink up everyone.  Here’s to your health.

I think my actions show my habits. I tend to focus on getting things done rather than what I’m doing. My husband tries to remind me to ‘enjoy the journey’ while I seem to keep wondering when I’ll ‘get there’.

About green tea - my mom has CLL (a form of Leukemia) and green tea has been shown to help lower the rising white blood cell count. What better medicine than a natural one? She drinks it regularly and has had some success.
