High Stress, Momming and Cannabis

I never realized how often my confidence could be shaken, until I became a mother. That in itself could send me into this downward spiral, filled with self-doubt, anxiety, stress, and overstimulation. Being a mother isn't a job for the weak and sometimes even though you love your child (ren) with every fiber of your being, you can still face a few breakdowns, here and there, and that's perfectly normal. There is a whole other side of momming that no one really talks about. You know, the missed meals, the missed showers, the missed sleep and the missed sanity.

Parenting is a very demanding job and because the world got all topsy-turvy these past few years, it's been even harder, for a lot of us, balancing home, school, work, and personal matters. I know a lot of you mama's could connect.

Whether you have one child or three, parenting can cause a whole array of emotions, which is why it is absolutely fundamental to remember to breath and take a moment for yourself. But how? With the hustle and bustle of momming, it's even hard to do simple tasks, like washing AND conditioning your hair, nevermind raising a whole other person.

The good news is that our Mother Earth gave us this resource to help us manage those rough days, and that's our sweetest bud, cannabis.

Cannabis is already becoming more of an accepted form of medicine. We've come such a long way. And you and I both know, it was about time! This flower can help you manage those days where you barely have enough energy to turn off your alarm and take a shower.

There's indica, with it's sedating and relaxing properties, to catch up on your much needed beauty rest and pain relief. There's also sativa, with it's ability to keep you focused and uplifted, to help you complete your to do list, and keep you productive, or hybrids (best of both worlds) to keep you relaxed, balanced and motivated.

There are plenty of ways to consume this natural plant. You can smoke the bud, vape it, cook with it, eat it or drink it. This plant holds so many medicinal properties to help manage focusing issues, depression, anxiety all the way to pain relief and sleep.
