Recently I decided to stop my caffeine addiction, deciding to listen to my body instead as well as considering some ethics....

I have been suffering from fatigue for most of my life as a result of saving my late master. Ever since 2007 I began feeling incredibly tired.

My mistake over time was taking coffee as means to repress/surpass that fatigue. However, repression has consequences.

Have you ever asked yourself why are you so tired? Sometimes, like in my case it has to do with unprocessed experiences.

And indeed, it takes me many years to process my heroic deed.

I found out that by asking myself about the origins of my fatigue, I can solve it more effectively.

Ever since I began sleeping more, I finally began feeling better.

Also, another reason as to why I stopped drinking coffee has to do with aggressions. I don't like being aggressive and found out that the more I am energized the likelier I get aggressive.

As a man of peace, many of my aggressions over life were involuntary and stemmed from PTSD.

Are our reactions always voluntary? Not necessarily! Sometimes our impulses get the best of us, and then we may behave in ways that we might regret.

Thus, instead of seeking the excitement of coffee I prefer to seek the virtue of self-control and self-restraint.

As much as I dislike society, much of it has to do with the virtue of self-restraint. If we did not restrain ourselves, we would suffer from a lot of violence issues across the planet.

And my path in life is that of virtue.

I found out that I can easily overcome my coffee addiction by applying critical thinking. In general, I found out that critical thinking helps me also to control my appetite, instead focusing on my hunger.

Questions like:

• Do I really need coffee right now?

And,

• Should I rest instead,

Have helped me realize the practical importance of critical thinking when it comes to my health!

As a man who uses philosophy to navigate reality, I realized just how important critical thinking is when it comes to overcoming addictions.

When I ask myself questions in solitude, I find myself needing and wanting less and less from this world, focusing instead on my natural wealth.

What is natural wealth? Everything that comes from within us, and not from outside of ourselves!

Therefore, we should listen to our bodies more -- the source of our natural wealth. All our wisdom and understanding comes from the human body.

Thus, when you are fatigued, there is a higher reasoning for it.

All you have to do, instead of drinking coffee, is to ask yourself: should I solve my fatigue more naturally?

Never underestimate the natural solutions to problems. As much as artificial resources help us, we should not be enslaved to them in the form of addiction. Instead, they should be either an incentive or a necessary evil for our survival, for our hopes and for our dreams.

As much as it was fun and exciting drinking coffee, I decided to take greater responsibility on my health, and rest instead.
