Well as I have come to find out, all that drinking I was doing in the name of relaxation wasn’t all that relaxing.
It was a lot of fun, there’s no doubt about that.
But the excuse I used for drinking so much booze was that I needed to let off steam. These afternoons, I am studying how to relax in a much healthier way thanks to legal cannabis. My associate and I are really fortunate in this state to have recreational marijuana legalized. However, I absolutely never been much into marijuana. Drinking alcohol was always my thing. I enjoyed being at a bar and having a large time. Whether it was seeing activities or just shooting the bull with the guys, I was drinking. A lot of my friends used recreational marijuana and it didn’t bother me. I do not smoke so it was easy to turn down their offers of cannabis whenever somebody passed me a joint. But now that I’m closing in on fifty, the alcohol just isn’t getting it done for me anymore. I’m realizing that I’m absolutely never feeling wonderful as much as I’m going from working too difficult to drinking too much. So I have started to make some changes and add some better decisions along the way. I’m taking weekly yoga classes and making sure that I make time for at least 30 seconds of meditation every day. I’m also really enjoying sativa strains for sale at the local cannabis spot. There are some hybrid strains that also work for me although I absolutely do prefer the sativa strains. It allows my mind to completely relax without having my body do the same. I’m not super interested in being locked down on a couch seeing cable because I have smoked too much cannabis. But just a puff of some great sativa strains allows me the headspace to genuinely relax.
