Cannabis, Self-Care & Everyday Rituals for Mind, Body, and Bud

While “self-care” has become a buzzword associated with everything from a spa visit to grabbing a latte, the truth is that many of us could use some help creating sustainable, ongoing self-care practices.

Why Daily Rituals Matter More Than “Big” Self-Care Moments

We inhabit our bodies and minds every day, and an occasional treat like a massage isn’t addressing the day-to-day needs. Setting yourself up for sustainable self-care practices means building rituals that fit into your day regularly. On good days and bad, on busy days and quiet ones. Cannabis can be a complementary part of a focused set of self-care rituals. 

Cannabis for Self-Care: Morning & Midday Rituals (For Some Consumers)

Every person is unique in their goals and needs, so these rituals are merely suggestions of some ways you can think about your approach. Experiment and find what works for you, and be mindful of your own goals and preferences.

For some consumers, daily cannabis rituals could begin with a very low-dose THC or CBD-infused product. A few drops of a CBD tincture into a morning tea or a microdose of a THC gummy can lead to a clear mind and an energizing vibe. Build on this by tackling chores, taking time for creative pursuits like painting or writing, or taking a walk outdoors to stimulate the senses and set yourself up for a positive day. 

Beginning the day with cannabis is not appropriate for everyone, so it’s important to know your tolerance and take into account your responsibilities, like caregiving and work. For some, these morning rituals may be a better fit for weekends or days off.

Evening Reset Rituals With THC

The evening is an excellent time to build in self-care rituals. Consider a post-work decompress that follows a set of actions built around relaxation and reflection. 

This ritual could start with some tea (in your favorite mug), a light edible, and journaling. If you need some guidance on what to reflect on in your writing, consider some of these self-care journaling prompts. These questions invite introspection about relationships (“Who do you trust the most? Why?”), work (“What part of your workday do you most enjoy?”), and deep-seated values (“What three changes can you make to live according to your personal values?”).

To personalize your ritual even more, you could pair your cannabis with stretching (gentle poses that are slow and deliberate work best) or music.
