"Thank You" and CBD

“Thank you"

Looking for the magic formula for improving your mood, helping you sleep better and making you an overall better, kinder person? Despite the outrageous claims, the secret isn’t a quick fix or magic pill.  A daily gratitude practice has been shown to significantly impact our physical and emotional health.  At TWINE CBD we hear stories everyday of how CBD has positively impacted people’s outlook on life.

What is Gratitude?

Gratitude is being mindful of and thankful for the good things you have. As the Sheryl Crow song Soak Up the Sunreminds us” It’s not having what you want, it's wanting what you've got.” Taking a moment every day to intentionally and mindfully express gratitude for the good things in our lives and not wasting energy wishing for what we are missing is recommended and HEALTHY. These “good things” are not necessarily material possessions. They are relationships, circumstances, situations, or anything positive in your life. Absolutely all of us have reasons to be thankful. Perhaps because we are going through life too quickly, not living in the moment, we miss the opportunity to appreciate what we have. I love the concept that by stopping to say, “thank you” or “wow, this is beautiful”, we are not bound to the past or worried about the future, but in that moment, we are ANCHORED IN THE PRESENT. To be grateful we must be fully present in the moment.

Benefits of Gratitude?

So, what’s the big deal about “gratitude”? Spontaneous thoughts of gratitude help people feel happier, not to mention less depressed. Making gratitude a daily habit has also been shown to protect against developing depression in the future by lowering cortisol levels, our bodies’ major stress hormone. Lower cortisol levels help you avoid many physical and mental side effects of stress. As for emotional health, being thankful can help provide strength and resilience when confronted with stress, loss, grief or trauma.

Let’s hear it for a great night’s sleep! People who are grateful tend to sleep better and have fewer aches and pains. Increased feelings of gratitude might even indirectly improve immune function and reduce inflammation.

Finally, and what the world needs more of these days, people who are focused on gratitude are inspired to give back and support their communities in positive ways, benefitting them and those around them.

A few starters for a grateful, healthful daily routine:

Remind yourself to be grateful by surrounding yourself with pictures of people, pets or places that inspire feelings of gratitude.

Write thank you notes to yourself and others. Post these notes and read them frequently.

Verbalize your thankfulness for your food and acknowledge the blessing of a nourishing meal. Many families “Say Grace” at mealtime to cultivate gratitude.

Be intentional in focusing your mind and thoughts on gratitude every single day. Before you know it, you’ll start to notice more things to be grateful for and the positive feeling of thankfulness will flow more effortlessly and more naturally.
