If you are a writer, painter, designer, storyteller, or basically anyone in the ‘creative’ field, chances are you must have come across the occasional ‘block’ where you find yourself stuck. Happens with the best of it! You probably reached for a cup of Joe to fuel yourself and get things going. But, today we won’t talk about coffee. We are going to talk about the magic potion aka Kratom tea and how it can keep your creativity and motivation fueled. If you’ve never heard of kratom you’re in for a treat.
Kratom aka Mitragyna Speciosa is an evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia. This plant is a natural sedative and pain reliever which also helps you achieve the occasional ‘natural high’. In high doses, it can induce the effects much like opioids. In smaller doses, it tends to have stimulant-like effects. Because of the presence of active alkaloids, it is used mostly as a natural remedy for treating various physical/mental ailments. Recently the West has started to realize the amazing potential kratom has to offer, which is why today you can buy kratom powder and even kratom teas online without any trouble.
Below are some points that shed plenty of light on how drinking Kratom tea in moderate quantities can give a nice boost to your creativity and bring on that surge of motivation which often goes missing among creative people.
1. Increase Dopamine and Endorphins
You know how dopamine and endorphins work, right? These are basically the ‘feel good’ chemicals released by the human brain which is what makes you feel happy, euphoric, and hopeful. When there’s a shortage of these chemicals, you feel down and lethargic. Drinking kratom tea is a surefire way to get your brain to start releasing those chemicals. A nice dose of these neurotransmitters will make you feel energized, motivated, and happy so you can get more done in less time.
2. Enhance The Energy Level
The way kratom works are pretty simple. We know that this plant is rich in natural compounds called active alkaloids. What they do is basically stimulate your cell receptors and regularise the parasympathetic nervous system. In simpler words, it aligns all the metabolic processes and bodily functions. Therefore, you feel more energized. Unlike other depressants such as alcohol, kratom actually boosts your physiological functions so you gain more clarity coupled with higher efficiency in the most natural way. Let it be known that unlike most opioids, kratom is not addictive. However, it’s important to moderate kratom consumption for best results.
3. Improves Focus for Higher Productivity
Upon consuming kratom tea, many of the first things you will notice are the instant uplifting feeling. Your mental vision gets clearer and your focus is improved all of a sudden much like when you drink coffee, only better! As the stimulating effects of kratom kick-in, most people tend to feel, braver, if you will. Many kratom consumers have reported a significant boost in their focus and motivation which helped them face many everyday challenges more easily.
4. Helps Clear-up The Brain Fog
The stress of countless everyday commitments and deadlines often leaves you feeling ‘foggy’. That state of confusion in which you are not able to think straight is one way of explaining the ‘brain fog’. By drinking kratom tea, you are able to enter a more relaxed and optimistic state of mind. You experience that zen-like state where everything is ‘in the flow’ and you seem to be able to get stuff done effortlessly. In other words, kratom consumption in the form of teas and other preparations helps keep anxiety at bay and not let it come it the way of your creativity and productivity. If you want to stay ‘elevated’ and enjoy what you actually love doing, a nice cup of kratom tea could be your best friend.
5. Acts like a Mood Elevator
This point is much in line with the first one. We mentioned earlier that kratom carries bioactive compounds known as alkaloids – specifically mitragynine and hydroxy mitragynine. The way these alkaloids work is basically by binding themselves with opioid receptors. Upon binding themselves, a bunch of neurotransmitters like adrenaline and noradrenaline is released which give the ‘adrenaline rush’. You feel more optimistic about getting things done. All of kratom’s signature properties start kicking in working their way into making you more in control of pain reception, focus, energy, excitement, euphoria, etc.
6. A Natural Nootropic
Have you seen the movie ‘Limitless’? Remember the drug NZT? The one that makes you go limitless? Well, a nootropic is much like that pill only it’s NOT that extreme. Asian natives have been long using kratom leaves as a nootropic drug for jobs that are highly demanding in nature and also labor-intensive. Aside from making you feel more energized, as a nootropic, drinking kratom tea can bolster your cognitive functioning, so you don’t go out of whack for even a second.
Final Thoughts
Kratom is definitely a magic herb/plant but only when consumed in moderation. The best way to get the most out of kratom consumption in any form is to start off with a very small dose. You should then slowly work your way up until you’ve found your own personal preferred dosage where you are able to hit that ‘sweet spot’.
