HOW COFFEE MACHINES CAN HELP YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

Your coffee machine sits in the corner of your workplace dutifully supplying hot delicious beverages but have you ever thought how it and even the water cooler could improve your mental health?

No? Well let me explain. Health and lifestyle coaches will use everyday items that through our busy lives we often overlook, such as kettles, coffee machines, vending machines, water coolers, and get us to think about them differently.

Say you’ve had a particularly busy day and your stress levels are through the roof and you go to the coffee machine simply for a drink. Scrub that go to the coffee machine and stop!

Instead of simply pressing the same old number of the keypad and instead allow yourself a moment to think about the coffee and other drinks. Imagine during the time it takes to fill the cup how it will taste, how it will feel passing you’re your throat and into your stomach. There are a number of scientific research documents that prove that even these small moments of pause in a hectic day will significantly reduce levels of stress and improve mental as well as physical health.
