Living Well — antipsychotic
5 Ways to Travel Stress-Free 0
Sometimes we find ourselves stressing before we have to travel when we should really be preparing to enjoy ourselves. Whether it’s for a vacation, business trip, or a day trip, many of us are frequently on-the-go. It’s not always fun though, and traveling can oftentimes be a huge stressor in our lives that adds a lot of unnecessary worry or anxiety. Here are 5 ways to reduce that stress and enjoy your travels!
- Make a list. What to pack, an itinerary of places to visit, or a list of people you need to buy a gift for. A list is a great way to let your mind relax and release the information you need to know without the worry of forgetting something. You can double or even triple check if necessary, and it also allows you to manage your time better when you have everything written out in front of you.
- Get a good night’s sleep. Getting a good night’s sleep before you embark on your travels will leave you energized, refreshed, and ready to take on the day. You’ll be able to accomplish more, and having a full tank of gas will even allow you to be more prepared to try something new! Of course, sleep doesn’t always come easily for us, so check out the blog for some tips to combat sleep anxiety.
- Have a backup plan. Your mind will rest easier knowing if something goes wrong, you’ll be prepared. Have an alternative means of transportation in case an issue arises, or a second choice for an activity or place to visit if something you want to do gets rained out. When you prepare for the worst, you leave a lot less to chance.
- Research your place of interest beforehand. Oftentimes we take a chance on traveling somewhere we’ve never been before, maybe even in another country. It’s important to research your destination beforehand, so you won’t be thrown into any surprises or undesirable situations. You’ll also get a better grasp on the culture and what to expect upon arriving!
- Change your mindset. If you begin to find yourself stressing about your upcoming trip instead of being excited for it, try and change your outlook. Don’t look at your travels as a stressor. After all, most of us travel for pleasure, it shouldn’t make you uneasy! Have something to look forward to. Try to find an element of your trip you really want to experience, and if nothing else, let that guide you.

CBD and THC: Let's End the Confusion 0
CBD and THC—we may know them as acronyms with very long names or as letters commonly associated with marijuana, but unrightfully so. CBD actually stands for cannabidiol and THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol. Although both rooting from cannabis with the same chemical formula, it is important to note that their atoms are arranged differently, therefore creating completely different psychotic effects—CBD has none to speak of. 
These two compounds are the main ingredients in marijuana yet THC is the psychoactive ingredient that causes the high and can explain the anxiety or feelings of paranoia associated with its use. Alternatively, CBD causes the opposite effect—a feeling of relaxation and reduced anxiety. Furthermore, it is believed that CBD creates a balancing effect to make sure the user does not get too high off of the amounts of THC. These anti-psychotic properties are the ones we can expect to see with the use of CBD, which is the substance most prominent in the CBD Hemp Oil. Therefore, we would not expect to see any effects of the THC ingredient. Since CBD can be found in hemp, it is legally imported into the United States for use in products such as our CBD Hemp Oil, a certified natural, organic, and gluten free wellness tool—not something that will get you high.
