In 2017 I went through the deepest and darkest depression that I had ever been in my life. I would drive around just to find a place to cry alone, I had thoughts of dying, and I just wanted the pain to end.
It was a long journey to finding my happy place again but eventually I did. In the process I learned so many amazing ways to help me deal with my stress and anxiety, which has led me to the ER more than once in my life. It was after this dark time in my life that I became a coach for women to help them deal with the overwhelm and burnout they were feeling in their lives and businesses.
In December of last year my mom came to live with us and in May she lost her leg after having an infection that wouldn’t heal. To help her with the pain and sleeping my sister ordered her some CBD products. She tried 3 different companies and finally settled on one that had great products that were effective, clean, and organic. I tried a little just to taste of it but it never occurred to me to use it regularly.
The use of CBD has come up in many of my coaching sessions. I have often been asked about using it for stress and anxiety relief but at the time I had not tried it for myself. One of my coaching clients is an entrepreneur that was creating her own line of CBD infused self-care products so I learned a lot about it from her.
Then came 2020… this year has been a lot for so many of us as we’re experiencing pandemic worries, election anxiety, virtual school stress, and fears over the economy. The things that I do to manage my stress and anxiety like journaling, deep breathing, mindfulness practices like gratitude and meditation, they were just not cutting it anymore. My back was sore from tension and my chest hurt from anxiety, I needed something to take the edge off that I wasn’t getting from my usual practices.
I’ve found that taking one to two servings of 750 mg CBD a day has helped me to feel calmer, more centered, and more aligned. I still do my regular mindfulness practices but this helps me get through the day feeling less stress, anxiety, and overwhelm.
