Tips to Stress Less This Spring
With the days growing longer and plants beginning to poke out of the frozen ground, spring is all about renewal, making it the perfect season to refresh your wellness routine and embrace nourishing practices for your mind and body. From meaningful meditation to reconnecting with nature, put the sluggishness of winter behind you, and try out these tips to help you feel revitalized and balanced from the inside out this spring.
Find Your Zen through Yoga
The art of slow movements, long stretches and deep breathing has shown to have several health benefits, including improved strength, balance and flexibility. Yoga gives you the chance to slow down enough to truly listen to your body and move in ways that soothe but also test your body’s limits. This can directly impact your mood, helping you feel refreshed and energized for the day.
Practice Mindful Meditation
When your brain feels like it’s going a million miles a minute, it’s important to take time to slow down and quiet your thoughts. Through meditation, you create a sense of self control, balance and self-awareness that can lead to reduced stress and better emotional health. Plus, depending on the type of meditation you do, you can focus on things like improving your memory, attention span or even positive thinking.
Detox Your Diet
After all the different holidays and celebrations, it’s no wonder many of us feel sluggish from the winter months. Even if you aren’t trying to lose or gain weight, having a balanced diet is key for other aspects of your life, like sleep and motivation. Find tasty alternatives to high-calorie foods, like swapping out carbo-loaded beers for low calorie THC sodas. Even just exerting more self-control by consuming smaller portions of your favorite foods can make a difference. The more junk you eliminate from your diet, the more energized you’ll feel.
Disconnect to Reconnect
In this digital age, we are constantly plugged in — to our phones, our computers, our tablets and so many other “smart” devices. While they might make some aspects of our lives easier, they can also create a constant buzz in our lives that doesn’t allow us to slow down and appreciate life as it unfolds. By taking a few moments to disconnect from your digital devices, you’ll find the space you need to breathe and soak up what’s happening around you. Go for a walk in nature, pick up an old hobby you haven’t touched for a while, write down thoughts you’ve been too busy to think until now. Use this opportunity to reconnect with who you are and the world around you.
Unwind with Mini Soda
Our favorite way to experience calm in the midst of the chaos of life is to relax with a glass of Mini Soda. The fresh citrus flavors coupled with the soothing buzz of a cannabis high makes for some tasty stress relief. Compared to edibles or smoking, a THC-infused soda will give you a more manageable high and you’ll reach your bliss much faster, making it the perfect way to take the edge off after a long day.
This spring, spend some time focusing on you. Recharge your battery with these mindful practices, and don’t forget to supplement them with soothing THC. Grab a can or a whole sampler pack and feel the rejuvenating effects of Mini Soda.
