Election week can be a whirlwind of emotions and stress, with news updates coming in from every direction. While staying informed is important, so is taking care of your mental and physical well-being. At Tahmina Tea, we believe that maintaining calm is essential, especially when the stakes feel high. Here are three ways to bring a sense of peace to your days, with the soothing addition of saffron tea to support your wellness routine.

1. Start the Day with Morning Meditation

A calm, centered morning can set the tone for a peaceful day, helping you approach the day’s events with a clear mind. Even a few minutes of morning meditation can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and create a positive mindset that lingers throughout the day. Whether you choose to meditate in silence or follow a guided session, this time helps you center yourself before diving into the day.

How to Begin: Find a quiet space, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing for five to ten minutes. If you’re new to meditation, try a beginner-friendly app like Headspace or Insight Timer. This moment of peace can become an anchor, helping you feel grounded before engaging with the news or social media.

2. Limit News Consumption and Take Mental Breaks

It’s easy to get caught up in constant news updates, but limiting your consumption can make a big difference in reducing anxiety. Set boundaries by dedicating specific times to check the news and spend the rest of your time focused on other fulfilling activities. Taking short breaks throughout the day to breathe deeply or engage in a relaxing ritual, like brewing a cup of saffron tea, can help break up the cycle of stress.

How to Begin: Decide on one or two times each day to check updates, then fill your other moments with positive distractions, like a good book, a walk outside, or a creative activity.

3. Practice Evening Reflection with Saffron Tea

The evening is an ideal time to unwind and let go of the day's anxieties. Reflect on what went well and focus on moments of gratitude. Sipping saffron tea during this reflection can help reinforce a calming bedtime routine, as it’s known for promoting relaxation and may even support restful sleep. Our caffeine free Saffron Sleep is the perfect accompaniment to your evening wind down routine.

How to Begin: Set aside time to write down three things you’re grateful for, and enjoy the relaxing aroma of saffron tea as part of this evening ritual. This practice can create a peaceful mental space that helps you process the day without feeling overwhelmed.


By incorporating calming practices and the natural benefits of saffron tea, you’re creating a more grounded, peaceful approach to election week. At Tahmina Tea, we’re here to support you through every high-stress season with products that nurture both mind and body.
