Self-care has become increasingly important since COVID-19 impacted our lives. We’ve had to spend more time at home and without the company of others. But this isn’t all bad news! Due to these lifestyle changes, we have been allowed to become more in touch with our minds and bodies and their needs. Here are some of our favorite ways to kick back and carve out some time for yourself.
Mindfulness & Meditation:
Mindfulness can be a great way to clear your head and recenter after a stressful day or week. This can include journaling, meditation, or reading a book. As we mentioned in our previous blog, meditation and CBD go hand in hand and can have a positive impact on your practice. As for reading a book, we recommend “The Four Agreements”. This is a life-changing self-help book that can assist you in transforming your life into one without negativity and unwanted harmful thoughts & actions.

Working Out:
Another way to take care of yourself is by working out. If your job is very stationary and requires you to sit at a desk or in front of a computer for 8 hours a day getting up and moving around is the perfect way to loosen up, get your blood flowing, and unwind. Whether your workout consists of weights, yoga, running, or dancing – your muscles will thank you.
Pair With: Full Spectrum CBD Oil, CBD-Roll On, or CBD Salve.

Entertainment:
Sitting back and watching your favorite movie with a bowl of popcorn and M&M’s always helps me feel at ease. You can even tune into your favorite podcast or that new TV show you’ve been meaning to watch.
Pair With: CBD Gummies or CBD Full-Spectrum Oil

Spa Day:
You can go to the actual spa or just set up your own at home! Getting a manicure, pedicure, or a professional massage will work wonders for your self-confidence. If you’re doing a spa day at home, a soothing bubble bath, facemask, or hair mask can hit the spot. We highly recommend pairing these at-home activities with a CBD Mocktail.

Taking a step back from social media:
Turning off your phone or just putting it on do not disturb can help recenter yourself and quiet those naggings thoughts. If you don’t want to turn off your phone completely, you can try staying off social media for a few hours. Instead, take this time to meditate, journal, read, and not focus on what those around you are doing. You deserve some me-time.
Setting your goals and intentions for the week & month:
This can be a great activity to get your morning started. It can also be beneficial right before bed. Setting your goals can help organize your thoughts and pinpoint what you hope to get done throughout the week.
If you’re setting your intentions in the morning: What do you hope to get done in the day? What is your biggest challenge? We recommend making a nice big cup of Café Con Calma Hemp Infused Coffee to help with this activity.
If you’re setting your intentions at night: What was your biggest accomplishment of the day? How can you prepare for tomorrow? This is a great time to reflect on everything you have done this week and how to continue your progress. Pop in CBZ Gummies, hop in bed and start setting those intentions.
Self-care is a crucial part of keeping yourself centered and maintaining positive mental health. We hope these tips inspired you to plan a future self-care day! Loved this article?
