Slolwy but surely losing my best friend, coffee

Nov 24
Woke up 5.40 am this morning. Pre-sleep Samyama still works. Slept back till 6.45 am for morning walk.
Just watching my breathing and tots and admiring the trees. A nice peaceful walk with little tots of anything.
Only one time I was caught in past tots and I brought myself back.
Basically a nice Samyama. It was quite effortless. Can even do one more cycle. Took to some running at the space whereby it is smelly due to people's urination. Did two time running on the short space. Will do that next time too.
Came back watch tv and still watching my breathe. Nice. Not tots.

Today card is Queen of Spades, self mastery.
Much success in our external life by mastering ourselves within. This means creating more success by changing.

Didn't order usual coffee. Just shared some with mom. Yesterday I didn't drink any coffee.
Father, the tot of putting stimulant into my system is not okay with me.

Was updating my blog and saw this excerpt from Sadhguru on Nov 17

Mind is your business by Sadhguru
The past is carried only in ur mind. Only because ur mind is active that past exists. The reality is only present but past exists through our minds. Or in other words, mind is karma. If u transcend the mind, u transcend the karmic bondage altogether in one stroke.

Soul
Yea, Samyama is the way to deactivate the mind.
Once mind is deactivated, then the past cease to exist.

Mind is your business by Sadhguru
It is because people can't bear the torture of the mind that they have devised many ways in society to go below the mind.
Excessive eating, alcohol, excessive indulgence in physical pleasures, these are ways to go below the mind. People use them and for a few moments they can forget the torture.

Soul
Now that I know having coffee stimulates the mind...and having milk dull my system...
I no longer wants to drink coffee as a ritual. I drink coffee only when I really want to.
