4 Ways to Incorporate Cannabis into Your Wellness Routine
Establishing an easy to maintain and consistent wellness routine is key to living a balanced and healthy life. That being said, a lot of people have a very specific idea of what a wellness regiment is and will oftentimes write it off as too much or too difficult.
However, your wellness routine doesn’t have to look like that. The best wellness routine is one that fits with your lifestyle and if you’re here it probably means that weed figures somewhere into that lifestyle. So here are four ways that you can incorporate cannabis into your wellness journey.
Exercise
Using cannabis before or during exercise might not be your first thought but it can be helpful, especially if you’re struggling to get started. Many people have reported that using cannabis in conjunction with their workout has made it more enjoyable.
Many athletes have also reported that it helps them to concentrate and really get into their workout. Depending on the strain or product that you’re using it can also give you a little boost in energy to kickstart your workout or keep you moving if you start fading.
There really isn’t a limit to the activities that you can incorporate cannabis into, yoga is a popular one but things like running, strength training or other gym workouts are also great options.
Additionally, many people have found that using CBG and CBD before or after their workouts can be very beneficial. CBG is known to give you a boost in energy and both help with recovery. When taken together they balance well, complimenting each other and negating potential side effects.
Tip: Edibles are a great way to consume before a workout because there’s a much lower chance of it interfering with your lung capacity. You’re also probably going to want to find a Sativa strain to give you that energy boost.
Meditation
Meditating is a great way to ground yourself and work on mindfulness. It’s been known to reduce stress and anxiety and improve mental health. Using Cannabis can help improve your meditative experience.
Many strains are known to have calming and relaxing properties, this can help you to focus during your mediation.
Cannabis can also be helpful for people who struggle to meditate. One of the main complaints that people have about meditation is that they can’t get their mind to slow down enough to successfully meditate. Using cannabis is a great way to help slow your brain down and comfortably sink into a meditative state.
Tip: You’re probably going to want to find an Indica strain for your meditation session, as Sativa and even Hybrid strains might excite your brain too much and impede your ability to slow down and relax.
Start Your Day Right
Beginning your day on the right note sets the tone for the rest of your day and helps to put you in the right headspace to accomplish all of your goals. While many people struggle to get up in the morning and experience fatigue for a while after getting up, cannabis can help to alleviate some of those problems
Working cannabis into your morning routine can help you to start the day on the right foot and if you pick the right strain it can help to ease you out of sleep and into a relaxed state of wakefulness, ready to take on whatever the day brings.
Sleep Aids
On the opposite end of the spectrum it’s also important to end your day the right way and to set yourself up for a good night’s sleep. We need at least 8 hours of sleep every night to be able to function optimally and if you’re struggling to get to sleep and stay asleep.
If you’re struggling to get to sleep then you might want to consider adding a little cannabis to your nighttime routine. As previously mentioned, cannabis can help you to relax and slow your mind down, this is super helpful when it comes to getting to sleep.
Additionally, people have reported that they will stay asleep longer when using cannabis before bed. It can also help to soothe some aches and pains that might be keeping you up at night.
Tip: Choosing an Indica strain is definitely the right option here but you also might want to consider finding something that contains CBN as well. CBN is known to have calming, sedative qualities which makes it perfect for helping you get some Z’s.
Working Cannabis into your everyday wellness routine is not only easy but it can also help to improve your quality of life and make it easier to stick to your new routine.
