I usually have coffee in a particular mug. For as long as I can remember, I've mostly had coffee using that mug. I guess it has become a habit.
When I was a young boy, my parents made coffee for my siblings and I every morning before we went to school. Coffee has become my favorite thing. When my dad saw how much I loved coffee, he got me my own special mug. As simple a gift as it was, it really meant a lot to me.
Having coffee in that mug always feels right. Somehow, it just keeps the temperature right. I guess it's now a habit for me to have coffee in that mug. I can say that for me, the mug helps me enjoy my coffee to the fullest. It has been for years now. Sometimes when I'm traveling, and I would be away for a while, I take the mug with me. I have indeed grown an attachment to it, and why not?
It reminds me of my childhood. It's a constant reminder of those mornings before I went to school as a kid. It's also a constant reminder of my father's gesture. A gesture I would always cherish.
One activity which also helps me enjoy my coffee to the maximum is watching movies. It's almost like a default setting. So while I have my coffee, I like to put on a movie. I'm a big fan of movies. It's always great to enjoy a cup of coffee while doing something I love.
Watching a movie while having a cup of coffee makes the experience even better, especially if it's a very interesting movie. That way I'm doing two things I love at the same time. I get to absorb every action, every suspense-filled moment, every plot twist that goes on in the movie while I take sips of my coffee.
Tell me, what could be better than that?
The movie engages my mind while I drink. In a way, it makes me not rush the coffee. Thus, making it a prolonged, enjoyable experience. If, by some circumstance, I have coffee without a movie, I have to engage my eyes with something interesting and captivating.
So taking coffee from my favourite mug while watching a movie is something I always look forward to. When I start my day that way, it usually puts me in a great mood, and the rest of the day turns out to be a cheerful one. If you haven't tried it before, you should try it, and before you know it, you will see yourself effortlessly doing it often. It's a habit that is easy to form. One that could help ease stress.
