Why Dry January?

BY KITE ADAPTOGENIC TEAS

ZEN SANGRIA

The new year is always a great time to focus on bringing more balance and well-being into your life—so why not kick off 2022 with a “Dry January”?

What is “Dry January’’?

Simply put, “Dry January” is a popular trend where people avoid the consumption of alcohol for the entire month of January.

With many of us coming off a season of imbibing, it may seem obvious that taking a rest from alcohol will support our health and well-being goals. Better quality sleep, increased energy and focus, and a better mood all seem to be good reasons to abstain, yet going booze-free for a period of time also offers up a fresh perspective on our relationship with alcohol.

Shaking up our habits starts with questioning whether or not drinking alcohol actually makes us feel good. And surely, a decision to abstain from alcohol that is rooted in mindfulness will make for a more curious and compassionate month ahead!

A Few Helpful Tips:

• Become intentional about your reasons for why you’re interested in a “Dry January”. • Grab a pal and enjoy the experience together! • Be sure to have several beverage alternatives and yummy recipes on hand that you’re excited to try.
