January is all about self-improvement, and after making it all the way through 2020, self-care is key. After many years of prohibition, the marijuana plant is finally gaining recognition for how effective it can be for overall wellness and self-care routines. Start off 2021 on a new leaf with these cannabis self-care tips.
There are so many ways of approaching cannabis self-care, but don’t worry—we’ve got some ideas to start with. Improve your flexibility, practice mindfulness, or give yourself a full-on facial.
It’s no secret that regular exercise is key for longevity. Keeping your fitness levels high benefits both the mind and the body. When you’re outside, there are plenty of options.
Stuck at home? You can still get your virtual workout in from local OC studios. Here are some of our favorite quarantine workouts:
Meditation can help with stress management and general mental health—something we could probably all use a little more of in a post-2020 world. If you’ve tried it before and can’t seem to stay awake to experience the benefits of a meditation practice, take a different tactic. Active meditation has a rich history across cultures. Note these examples of pan-cultural meditation practices you can try at home:
Hanh has some advice for those of us struggling to live in the moment: Do one thing and focus on it intensely.
What’s the benefit? According to Thich Nhat Hanh, “as you become fully aware of [what you’re doing], you also become fully aware of the present moment. You become fully engaged in the here and now. Living in the moment, you can really experience what [the activity] offers you, and you become more alive.”
To add cannabis to this Thich Nhat Hanh experience, first carefully prepare your bowl of cannabis flower or mindfully select a pre-roll. Let your worries and fears leave your mind, and focus solely on the effects of the marijuana you’re enjoying. Notice all of its flavors, the aromas of its terpenes, and the heat of the smoke in your lungs. Applying mindfulness techniques to your everyday activities can be a beautiful way to detach and truly recharge.
Good sleep hygiene is a crucial part of your personal wellness, and marijuana products can help you get a full night’s rest. If warm milk isn’t cutting it, we’ve got some sleep tips for you. Cutting down on caffeine, doomscrolling, and giving meditation a shot can certainly help—but if you’re really struggling, it’s time to pull out the big guns. Our night-time weed gummies are specially formulated for the most dreamtime-challenged among us, with a soothing mixture of CBN, THC, and melatonin. Sleep gummies from Plus will have you counting sheep in no time, and with delicious flavors like cloudberry and lychee, these weed gummies are the midnight snack you’ve always dreamed of.
There’s nothing better than pampering yourself, and having a cannabis spa day at home is the perfect way to do it. Slather on a facemask, then enjoy a bowl of your favorite weed strain or a pack of colorful marijuana pre-rolls while you self-massage with some cannabis lotion from Papa & Barkley.
For your at-home spa day, why not try something new? With our five-effect flight pack of Canndescent pre-rolls, you can choose from a variety of sensations and moods (Calm, Cruise, Create, Connect, and Charge) to curate your self-care environment. It’s the perfect way to get your headspace exactly where you want it.
If pre-rolls aren’t your thing, pick up some CBD gummies in flavors like yuzu lemon, peach, and mango, or grab a tincture from Care by Design to add to your favorite food or drinks. No need to take off your fluffy robe and put on real clothes—just order your favorite CBD marijuana products straight to your house from the People’s California website.
