I know the idea of New Year’s resolutions is a bit controversial these days but, truthfully, I love using the fresh start of a new year as an opportunity for reflection about what’s working and not working in my life. More than anything, I like to look at my routines/habits and see which ones really serve my long-term goals and which ones well… may need to be rewritten. 

I’ve found that my morning and evening routines are the two biggest anchors for positive change and being intentional with those set me up for a positive day and a good night’s sleep (which also plays a huge role in creating a positive day- it’s definitely a positive feedback loop!). 

First and foremost, I’ve learned that I feel my best when I stay tech-free the first hour upon waking up, I like to slowly sip a tea, take a walk with my dog, meditate and ease into the day. I have also been LOVING the Cured “Rise” CBD + Adaptogen formula from my most recent directhemp order. Ingredients like Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Ginseng, and B vitamins help me start the day focused. 

For the evening, I also sleep my best if the last 30 mins to an hour before bed is screen-free. I like to take baths (often with a CBD bath bomb), read, journal, and maybe play some calming music while I stretch. I also compliment this winding down with Cured “Zen”. "Zen" is crafted to help with unwinding and relaxation at nighttime. CBD, Magnesium, Reishi, Valerian, Ashwagandha, and Chamomile. This nighttime formula is a perfect complement to my busy life.

I find this time of year people often try to make huge dramatic lifestyle changes but, if I’m being honest, I feel like it’s really the little things that make all the difference. And, at the end of the day, the little shifts tend to be way more sustainable anyway!

If you are looking to add some CBD into your routines this New Year I highly recommend you pop over to directhemp and check out their massive end of the year sale (TODAY ONLY!!). Use the code “ARIELLE” for 31% off!! #directhemp #directhemppartner
