A Question To Myself

I drink tea twice a day - in the morning and after coming back from office in the evening.A cup of hot,sweet tea makes me feel refreshed.
Today I took a decision.I asked myself ,"What if I don't take tea in the evening?? Would I feel tired??"
I decided to try it.
Now the sun is setting and it is getting dark.I have not taken tea.And I am fine.I am not feeling tired or stressed.
Does this mean many things we habitually do are actually unnecessary??

@anil02 No,I have not decided to quit tea.It's just an experiment.Today I did not take tea and I'm absolutely fine.Let me try it tomorrow again. And yes,I take a glass of cow milk ,sometimes with honey, before going to bed.

@Shivram59 I used to get enema coffee, it helps to clean your liver. Perhaps you can search about it

@Shivram59 excess is bad but twice a day seems about just right. Besides tea is good for you.

@meowch You are absolutely right.What I did was just an attempt to find the answer to the question I asked to myself.I'm not going to quit tea.It's for ever.And I don't think drinking tea is a bad habit.Excess of anything is bad,but I'm not a tea addict.I have tea only twice a day.Is it too much??

You should not get addicted to tea..But you can continue drinking tea or coffee, because you say you take tea twice..I also take tea..

@Shivram59 Almost all habitual doings have no impact in our lives over addiction

piyushbhatia1 You don't take tea.It's your habit.Now try to do just the opposite. Start taking tea.Observe how you feel then.I drink tea ,and today I tried to live without taking tea.

Maybe not many of them but some. Some habits we keeps because we like the routine of it.
