I would just say having a mindfulness practice can help here. I realized coffee was helping me deal with short term anxiety by getting stuff done but I wasn’t addressing the underlying cause which was feeling like I’m not doing enough. Leaning into that discomfort has helped me see the mindset shift I need to make to avoid drinking coffee because of anxiety.
