Holy Tea

How can you manage to take a break even if you are busy? With creating a ritual and with institutionalizing it. Take for example the prayer in Islam. Every believer takes time for it, no matter what profession they follow or where they are. A good break with no distraction often even helps to be more productive afterwards and refocus on what needs to be done, as much in professional as in private live. The inspiration of a tea ritual comes from asian culture. Focussing on a specific action like preparing the tea get’s your mind of the thought patterns you are in. Drinking the tea activates different senses and is pleasing and calming. You could also think of creating other rituals like for example playing a concentration game, performing specific movements or meditating. It’s easier to justify those actions in front of others once you can give them a context (institutionalize them). “What are you doing?” “It’s my religion.”
