The Key to a Stress-Free Holiday Season

4 years ago

The holidays are around the corner and while they are something most of us look forward to, it can be a stressful time. With last minute holiday shopping, seeing family and friends, and running around trying to get everything done, you might need some stress relief.

On the other hand, we all experience very different emotions during these times and not everyone has a family to visit while others choose it is best to retreat within.

Even your pets might be needing to prep for stress relief as the fireworks on New Year’s Eve can be extremely stress inducing and being around so many people can make them nervous.

On top of it all, we have an ongoing pandemic where social events can be quite anxiety inducing for many of us.

We want you to enjoy this beautiful time of year, so here is what you can do to make this a festive season with your friends and family.

CBD vs. Delta 8: Everything You Need to Know

The Craze Around Delta-8

Controversy has come alongside the rising popularity of Delta-8. Many feel that it should be banned as it is not very different from marijuana and could cause negative side effects while others seek its legality since it is hemp derived, mild, and technically legal.

Unlike CBD, Delta-9, and other cannabinoids, Delta-8 is barely researched making its long-term effects and even short-term effects unknown and unpredictable.

Because the hemp industry can be a confusing one due to its gray nature in terms of legality and societal acceptance, it’s important to understand what brands are capable of doing to put their products on the market.

We wouldn’t want you to come across Delta-8 thinking it’s CBD or another non-high inducing cannabinoid, take it, and have unwanted effects.

Education is self advocation here at ReThink, so we will always share the most up to date information regarding the hemp industry.

You can trust that ReThink only produces and sells 100% legal THC free broad spectrum CBD products.

How is CBD different?

Hemp derived CBD is a great natural alternative for stress relief since it targets serotonin receptors and helps support anxiety. It may also relax the body and enhance mood to ensure your Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day are calm and enjoyable.

Try these steps to ensure your mind and body are supported for the next 2 weeks.

First things first, you want to make sure you own one or two CBD products, so when looking for one, ensure that it is either full spectrum or broad spectrum, so you get the whole plant extract.

Start with a simple and consistent daily CBD routine with broad spectrum CBD to ensure it is THC free. Choose your favorite type of CBD products for different times of day and situations. It could be CBD gummies, CBD oil, etc.

Before bed, take some CBD sleep support capsules or syrup to ensure you rest deeply and thoroughly. In the morning, taking an average dose of CBD oil could help your body de-stress and eliminate tension.

Along with taking CBD consistently, try to maintain a personal routine, eat intuitively, and be gentle with yourself. We may feel pressured to feel or act a certain way but approach every situation with compassion and patience.

For pets, start the process now. For the CBD to have the best effect, try to start giving them CBD on the days leading up to the festivities.
Just like us, animals also have an endocannabinoid system that helps regulate mood and mental stability so, using CBD oil sprays or treats may help soothe their mind and body for the festivities.
