Your morning routine plays a huge role in determining what kind of tone you will bring into the rest of the day. Most of us want that surge of energy and vitality right when we wake up to get through the day. I am sure that if you want to start the day off on the right foot, you understand the importance of recognizing that the patterns and habits that you create on a day-to-day basis will lead to either an aligned or misaligned day. So, how can you help yourself get the right kind of energy and just enough of it in the morning?
For most of us, starting the day with energy can only happen if we have caffeine or something to energize us. Depending on what sort of products and actions you take to stimulate energy, you’ll notice that your body reacts to whatever you feed it. Sometimes drinking coffee can lead to jitters, anxiety, an afternoon crash, rapid heart rate, hyperactivity, and much more. However, you might be the kind of person that likes to get energy from the sun or from vitamins and supplements which might cause negative side effects like that of coffee, but they might not be as powerful in their energy delivery. Maybe you have heard that there’s been a huge popularity shift in everyone’s preferred caffeinated drink. while coffee is still the original preferred form of caffeine, new sources of caffeine such as matcha have risen in popularity. There are several reasons for this boost in interest. The difference between coffee and matcha is the way that they deliver energy to the body. While coffee has these negative side effects, matcha does a great job of delivering energy in a steady, calm, and revitalizing way. Because of this, people do not experience negative effects like that of coffee. Matcha has huge amounts of antioxidants helping protect the body from free radicals and environmental stress. It also helps boost metabolism and enhance mood!
So why are we explaining this to you? Well, we want to help you understand that there are ways that you can get energy from coffee or other sources without negative side effects. If you’re willing to break up with coffee for a little while, then matcha is a great option, but if you’re an avid coffee drinker, we don’t expect you to switch over to another drink. That’s where the power of CBD comes in. One of CBD’s main effects is that of de-stressing the body. It helps induce a state of rest and digest where the parasympathetic nervous system can take over. Did you know that taking CBD before coffee or adding it to coffee can actually reduce or completely eliminate the negative effects of coffee?
You can try to add some of our CBD oil tinctures into your coffee or take them sublingually before your morning coffee. Of course, you’ll get the best effects from taking our strongest CBD oils, like the 1000-3000mg range. You could also get a single high dose of CBD from our stress & mood shot which may help reduce anxiety while allowing you to drink coffee without the negative effects. If you want something different all together, consider adding our CBD energy shots in the morning. They have a bit of caffeine and other energizing ingredients paired with CBD to prevent an afternoon crash and promote a steady incline in energy. Another pro tip: add a B12 spray to your morning routine. B12 is a brain food and helps with cognitive function while promoting high energy levels.
