With lockdown seemingly coming to an end, friends inviting us for drinks and your boss calling you back to the office, it’s completely normal to feel a little off. After all, we are still in the middle of a pandemic.
Fear and anxiety are possibly the most common emotional responses any of us will feel as we approach the release from lockdown. Finding a way to pull ourselves through lockdown took a lot of our emotional energy and we may have found a place that lets us cope, and that we don’t want to leave behind just yet.
This period has been different for everyone and some people can’t wait to get back out there. Yet, many of us still fear becoming ill with the virus or passing the infection on to loved ones, as the risk increases with the number of people we interact with.
Whether your anxiety is surrounding catching the virus or simply because you haven’t been out in so long, it’s important to acknowledge that these feelings are reasonable and to expect them. It’s only by building up tolerance gently that we can move through these fears. Yet, that isn’t to say there isn’t something that could help you through it, such as L-theanine.
L-theanine benefits
L-theanine is an amino acid found most commonly in tea leaves. Research indicates that L-theanine promotes relaxation without drowsiness. Many people take L-theanine to help ease stress and unwind, as well as promoting relaxation without causing drowsiness and reduced resting heart rate – what’s not to love!
There are so many l-theanine benefits, not only does it help reduce anxiety but when paired with your morning brew, it can increase focus and attention which can also help to get you back in the swing of working at home or in the office.
