New year, new me. It’s a great sentiment but not always realistic. Instead of going into the new year with huge transformative ideas, consider taking a more realistic approach: make small changes to existing habits. If you’re looking to strive for healthier cannabis habits this year, here are some new year’s weed resolutions to consider:
Mindful cannabis use
Do you find yourself reaching for your weed products as a mindless part of your daily routine? If so, you might consider a more mindful approach to consumption this year. Before you light up your next joint or dab, ask yourself: “How am I feeling right now? What do I want to get out of this session? What other ways help me achieve that same result?”
Sure, you might still decide to light up. But this time, you’ll be doing so with intention.
Regular tolerance breaks
If you’re a frequent cannabis user, you probably have a decently high tolerance. If you need more weed to get the same results you used to, or you don’t find yourself satisfied by your current selection, you may be a good candidate for a tolerance break.
Tolerance breaks don’t have to be some rigid, inflexible activity. Take it one step at a time and let yourself reach a healthier point over time with steady habits.
For some people, this might look like taking a month off to reset everything. You will certainly have a much lower tolerance if you take a month off of cannabis and return with a clean slate.
But if a month of no weed sounds like it won’t do, challenge yourself to take a week off every few months. It doesn’t have to be a huge ordeal–you can simply set a goal to put the joint down today and pick it up a week from today.
If a week off every now and then doesn’t seem like your jam, that’s okay too. Challenge yourself to take a day off here and there. Once you’ve comfortably positioned yourself to take regular days off, you may be more willing to attempt a week off at a later date.
Give your lungs a break
Smoking anything isn’t healthy. Even if cannabis has a wide range of potential therapeutic benefits, it’s still not a healthy thing to burn and inhale into your lungs. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop using it entirely.
There are plenty of smoke-free cannabis options that still hit. Stock up on some tinctures, edibles, topicals, and vapes to help you give your lungs a break once in a while.
Use Cannabis for Productivity
If you find yourself locked into the couch every time you have weed, you may want to look at new ways to use the plant with your lifestyle. Stop by our Snoqualmie dispensary to see what our amazing staff recommends for energizing, day-time products to help you with daily tasks.
Many of the customers who come into our dispensary near Issaquah want something that will help them accomplish more with ease. We have many customers who love to deep clean their house, workout, or engage in a creative activity with the help of a little weed.
So if you feel like your weed habits have been slowing you down lately, change it up. Opt for some energizing products that can help you do more while feeling great.
Replace alcohol with cannabis drinks
Many people are choosing cannabis over alcohol these days. There are plenty of great cannabis beverages that can make this switch even easier. If you’re someone who likes to whip up a cocktail or grab a cold beer after a long day, consider swapping that habit out with a cold, refreshing cannabis drink. You can still enjoy the positive, relaxing effects without any risk of a hangover the next day.
Include cannabis in your self care
Weed can certainly be relaxing, but it shouldn’t be the only route to peace and comfort. If you’re looking for better ways to care for yourself this year, try incorporating weed in your self care routine.
Set aside time once a week to take a bath with infused bath salts. Put on your favorite music and sink into the relaxation. Don’t have a bath? No problem. Fill up a large pan with hot water and infused bath salts and soak your feet. The stress will melt away.
Or, make a point to use cannabis in a new stretching or meditation routine. If you find it difficult to set time aside to meditate, stretch, or spend time focusing on your breath and body, weed might help you reach your goal.
Take it one day at a time
These new year’s weed resolutions are meant to help you slowly make choices that improve your life. Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t stick to your intended tolerance break or if you decide to have a beer instead of a weed drink. The goal is to slowly swap out some choices for others, while being more mindful about your consumption altogether.
