You must’ve used and heard the phrase “” a million times in the last few weeks. And, with the keys to our freedom — and an end to life on lockdown — seeming to be a constantly moving target, we’re pretty sure you’re about to use it quite a bit in the coming weeks. Fret not, a heightened sense of anxiety is completely normal and totally acceptable, especially during these uncertain times. Since we aren’t in the business of sugar-coating things, we’ll be the first to say that our stress levels could easily be provoked, even before lockdown. Makes one wonder what stress is and why it exists…
Well, is how your brain and body react to any type of challenge; be it work, a school exam, a traumatic event, significant life change or the current global health crisis.
Are you feeling stressed?
If you haven’t been able to stop a series of negative thoughts or if you constantly feel your heart racing, it’s time to pay attention. The physical expressions of stress include a faster pulse, increased breathing rate and tense muscles. While stress can motivate you to do your best, long-term chronic stress can be debilitating. Symptoms may include headaches, sleeplessness, sadness, anger or irritability. Over time, stress may cause serious health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or mental disorders such as depression. [1]
Get a handle on it
The key is to find a way to manage or treat stress before it takes over your life and well-being. Around the world, more and more people are waking up to the pharmacological benefits of cannabidiol, commonly referred to as CBD. CBD is a compound found in the cannabis plant which researchers have been studying for potential therapeutic use. [2]
Separating myths from science
What they’ve found has been life-changing for many: CBD has been shown to provide relief to those experiencing stress symptoms such as anxiety, muscular tension, restlessness, fatigue and poor concentration. [3] Better still: CBD may relieve stress without slowing down your psychomotor responses or altering moods [4], and for those concerned about how it will affect your sleep or daily tasks… CBD is suitable for daytime use.
