Slowly but surely, cannabis has socially grown in acceptance. Because of this, there is plenty of research conducted each year on cannabis to prove its positive influence. One of the benefits of cannabis is its ability to lower stress. Today, mental health continues to decline due to ongoing unprecedented events. 84% of individuals experience some prolonged stress. Although the world is unpredictable, there are ways to help deal with stress and anxiety. If you don’t deal with your stress, it can have a lifelong negative impact on your health. 

The Dangers of Stress

No matter what the source of your stress is, it impacts your health. If you feel tense, experience chest pain, or have an upset stomach; then you may be experiencing stress-related issues. You may also experience muscle pain, fatigue, and have trouble sleeping. If you do not take care of these effects, they may last for weeks, months, or even years. 

Aside from physical health, stress also impacts your mental health. You may develop anxiety or depression from ongoing stress. The lack of sleep can make you tired and affect your mood. A lot of the time, we cannot get rid of our stress due to outside factors. So how are you supposed to lower your stress? Many doctors recommend different activities to reduce stress, such as:

  • Eating Right
  • Daily Exercise
  • Meditation 
  • Deep Breathes 
  • Healthy Distractions such as hobbies
  • Speaking to a therapist or psychiatrist 

Have you tried all of these techniques to lower your stress and nothing seems to help? Maybe cannabis is the answer. 

Cannabis and Stress 

The University of Mexico reports that THC can reduce stress symptoms by 95%. There are many reasons why cannabis offers individuals lower stress. Mainly, cannabis makes us feel more relaxed. If our bodies relax, then our stress lowers significantly. Muscle aches, stomach pains, and other related symptoms to stress lower when you smoke cannabis. THC does not actively get rid of your stress, but it does take away the symptoms of stress. Once you alleviate the symptoms, your mind is free of anxiety and depression related to stress. 

Stress cannot go away without other sources. Be sure to speak with your doctor about what you can do for your stress. However, if you wish to experiment with cannabis, rest assured it is safe to do so. If you try cannabis for the first time, be sure to take it around trusted friends or family. You want to feel safe and secure when you take a drug for the first time. There are low risks to taking weed, and it is a relatively safe drug. If you are interested, then buy from a credited company. 

Dispensaries 

Suppose you want to try cannabis to lower your stress then buy from a respected source. If you live where weed is legalized, then conduct your research accordingly. Specific strains reduce stress and anxiety while others promote a high energy high. Be sure to pick top shelf strains and stay safe. There are many benefits to cannabis. Try it out next time you feel stressed.

You do not find a happy life. You make it. 

That’s the biggest lesson that grief has taught me. If I just wait around to be happy again, I’ll die sad. 

You don’t get through grief and come out the other side. That’s not how it works. You learn how to grow around it like a tree grows around a rock that’s in the way. You don’t wait for the rock to move. Cause it’s not gonna. 

Choose happy. And then make it happen.

Happy Valentine’s Day, @daeinexplains 🥰

The last 20 years with you have been my favorite years on this earth. ❤️ 

If I did anything right in my life, it was when I decided to give my heart to you.  You are my best friend, my soul mate, my better half, my rock, my everything. 

I love you.

Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍ Kids love helping if you just let them!💁🏼‍♀️

This little guy always asks to help when he sees me cleaning the house, washing the floors, doing laundry, or emptying the dishwasher. That’s what I love about Montessori parenting - it allows kids to do  big jobs and in turn makes them eager to help! 

He was over the moon when we gave him the @lovevery floor mop that actually works! He uses it daily now. The mopping pad is machine washable and you can refill the fluid container on it. I usually just do water and a drop of essential oils because he loves it when everything smells clean! 😜 

Definitely recommend! If you want to grab this mop for your little helper, it’s in the Storyteller Play Kit from Lovevery for 3 year olds. 

LlNK is in my bio to get FREE shipping! 💃🏼

Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hol Stop trying to fit your square self in a round hole. 

Sometimes we outgrown relationships. Sometimes we realize someone else isn’t a good influence on our lives. Sometimes we realize we aren’t a good influence for someone else. Sometimes we need to let things go that aren’t good for us in order to grow. And that’s ok. 

Stop trying to sit at a table you are no longer welcome at. Just be yourself, focus on God, love your family and friends, and the right people will gravitate to you. ✌🏻

Today was my due date for Dylan. Considering he w Today was my due date for Dylan.

Considering he was my 6th child, it's possible he would have been here by now. It’s been extra hard for me this week. 

Despite my best efforts to be strong and stay positive, I am completely brokenhearted. I’m just being honest. I could pretend I’m fine, but that doesn't do me or anyone else any good to be dishonest about the pain of miscarriage or the grief that comes with losing a child. 

My heart is completely shattered from having an empty womb and an empty nursery. An empty bassinet in the corner and unused tiny newborn outfits, all washed, folded, and ready… for nothing. 

It makes me physically sick to my stomach when I think about it all and I can't even fathom how I got here. How did I get here? 

This isn't how it's supposed to be! I should be holding a newborn right now! It’s so unfair. 

In an instant, my baby was gone and there was nothing I could do to change that. 

It doesn't matter how much time passes or what else happens in life, I will always miss him. My heart with always long for my baby. 

Those who haven't experienced loss tell you that "Don’t worry! Things will get better, just focus on the positive!" but people who actually know this grief and what it actually feels like to lose a baby, won’t tell you that. They know this hard road. They understand that unfortunately you don't just “get over it.” 

The grief doesn't just go away, even if you try to ignore it, it's still there. Like the sun. You don’t have to look at it to know it’s there. You can turn your back on it but it will still warm your skin. 

The grief from losing a child is unbearable. 
It is unpredictable.
It is unforgiving.
It is relentless.
It is all-consuming.
And it completely shatters you when you don’t expect it. 

You don’t get over it. You don’t forget. You simply learn to live with it. And I’m learning to live with it every day. 

It’s been 137 days I’ve had to live without my baby. 

Lord Jesus, please… hold me extra tight tonight.
