Families all over the world have been on lockdown for an extended period of time, and as expected, parents have completely run out of activities. What happens when we run out of activities? Kids run around and drive us insane, and that equates to stressful days for bulk of us. Perhaps, the most stressful, and maybe even disappointing news for parents was that the rest of the school year has been canceled. Yes, we want our children to be safe, but we’re not mentally prepared for this! That’s why we’ve come up with 5 ways to take some time out for yourself and increase your overall chill factor with some CBDfx products. If you haven’t tried CBD, you’re in for a treat. Some moms haven’t tried CBD because they worry that they’ll be high and experience some crazy side effects, but you can avoid all of that with hemp-derived CBD products! There are different categories of CBD products ranging from topicals, gummies, tinctures, vapes, drinks, and more. Let’s take a look at some options you have!
Relax & Unwind With A CBD Salt Soak
Being on lockdown can become redundant. Every day we’re cleaning up, trying to teach the kids something—basically trying to maintain our sanity while being the best mother/wife combo we can be. Well, when the kids are asleep and you can finally have a moment to yourself, run a hot bath and sprinkle in some CBD infused bath salts. You might as well go all in–light that scented candle and turn on some of your favorite tunes— relax and release the tensions from the day.
Talk A Walk
I know this might seem like a challenge, to get a moment to yourself sometimes, but once you get outdoors and soak up some of those sun rays—you’ll be glad you made it happen. Staying cooped up in the house for extended periods of time can have negative effects on your mental health, and did you know that CBD is a mood stabilizer? That’s because it works with your endocannabinoid system….naturally! As Moms, we know we don’t have all the time in the world because someone is always calling, so take a CBD vape pen on your walk with you and enjoy a few pulls. A CBD vape pen is a quick and effective dose of CBD so that when you go back into the house nothing will phase you!
Mixologist Mommie
It’s not surprising that liquor sales have skyrocketed since quarantine has commenced. Sure, we shouldn’t drink on the job but it’s all good after they hit the sheets! Get creative with your drinks while you catch up on your favorite shows, and maybe try the infamous Quarantini–but with a CBD twist. This CBD chillshot is the perfect addition to any mixed drink honestly, and you deserve it! You’ve been running around, putting out fires around the house for how many weeks now?
A Book & A Spot Of Tea
We all have to remember to find ways to stimulate our minds on a daily basis—yes—that means you too, Mom! Whether you pick up the latest best selling thriller or a self-help book, reading (if it’s your thing) is a great way to carve out a little time for yourself and get those mental juices flowing. Did you know reading is a great way to improve you memory as well as your critical thinking skills? So, why not get cozy with a hot cup of chamomile tea while you turn those pages? There are some great CBD teas out there as well, but a regular cup of tea is just as relaxing sometimes.
Vision Board & Wine
This is a fun idea because being a Mom doesn’t mean you have to lose sight of your dreams! That’s why you should bust out your favorite bottle of Pino Grigio while you create a vision board that depicts what you want to achieve. Vision boards are great because you can look at it and give your self a mental reminder (concrete visualizations). If you look at it on a daily basis you’ll always be thinking about what you can do to make it happen. Goals and dreams are all about planning the steps to get there and doing at least one little thing a day towards that goal. That’s called consistent progress towards your goals!
Parting Thoughts
Mom life can be draining sometimes, but it’s still amazing watching our kids grow and thrive. It’s just very important to remember that you deserve time to yourself —for your mental health and overall well being. Sometimes it’s a good idea to step outside the box and try new ways to rest and relax, and CBD might just be the path you love but never knew about. Hemp-derived CBD products can provide those amazing benefits of CBD without making you feel high and out of your comfort zone. So, make sure you take time for yourself—because you deserve it!
