Stress Less with These Holiday Travel CBD Tips

Posted on December 9, 2019 |

Your holiday to-do list is already swirling in your brain.

Maybe it looks something like this:

Organize family visits and travel
Buy family gifts
Decorate
Bake cookies
Wrap gifts
Don’t eat too many cookies
Get something for teachers
Send cards
Plan holiday dinner food. Is your cousin still vegan?
Contemplate New Year’s Resolution
Make New Year’s Eve plans. Find babysitter. Find clothes for night out.
- Better yet, identify binge-worthy show for night in.

Our end of the year to-do lists can leave our heads spinning with little time to enjoy a peppermint mocha latte. You need a personal assistant to keep you organized through the holidays! While CBD cannot send your cards or wrap your gifts, it just might help ease some of your stress so you can enjoy the holiday season and get a healthy start to next year.

Holiday Stress & Sleep

The overwhelming hustle and bustle of the holidays can leave us feeling stressed. It can be hard to fit self-care into our routines at the end of the year. One of the ways we can take better care of ourselves is by committing to getting quality sleep. Although sticking to a regular sleep schedule can be tough when we’re traveling and squeezing other celebrations into our plans, it is important. Rest gives your immune system a boost so you can start the new year healthy.

Tired of overeating and snacking on too many treats every November and December? A good night’s rest can help control your hunger signals keeping you on track. Sleep also helps to regulate our moods. Our patience can run thin when we’re traveling, and our schedules are overwhelmed. Getting enough sleep can keep you happy as Santa’s elves.

Try these ideas to keep calm and holiday on:

Take short 10-minute walks a few times a day when you can’t fit in a full workout.
Try an online yoga class before bed.
Take a RE-ASSURE Gummy or two before bedtime. Relive Everyday’s gummies are THC-free, vegan, diabetic-friendly, and perfect for tossing in your bag when you travel.
- Even better because you get a pre-measured serving and a great flavor.
Add a few drops of our RE-LIVE Tincture to a cup of brewed tea.

Green Tea with CBD

It’s easy to get run down during the holidays. Green tea contains natural immunity boosters, antioxidants, and L-theanine, which can give you a boost of dopamine—one of the body’s feel-good chemicals.

Brew your favorite green tea. After the tea steeps, add a few drops of mint, watermelon, or natural flavored RE-LIVE Tincture.

Holiday Travel

Travel can induce anxiety at any time of year! Traffic jams, accidents, and long lines can make even experienced travelers feel stressed. No one likes sitting in traffic on the way to visit family or hanging out at the airport during flight delays. Adding a road trip or flight to your busy holiday schedule can put you over the edge. For many, the stress doesn’t end when we get to our destination. We’re out-of-routine, dealing with different weather, forgotten necessities, and there’s always that one relative at the holiday table who wants to talk about inappropriate dinner topics.

Here are a few tips to prep for your holiday travel:

Plan more time than you need for everything.
Confirm all reservations.
Set reasonable expectations. If you know that one relative is going to misbehave, don’t expect anything less. Accept that your kids and those you’re visiting are going to be in holiday mode.
Prepare for stiff and sore muscles from all that sitting in the car, plane, train, or bus by packing your favorite RE-FLEX Pain Spray.
If you’re driving, pack your favorite CBD. Offer friends and family our CBD Mocha Latte recipe to unwind.

2 cups of brewed coffee
½ cup milk of your choice

Flying with CBD

If you’re flying, there are special considerations for taking your CBD along.

In May 2019, the TSA updated its official policy on CBD. If the CBD product is derived from hemp and contains 0.3% THC or less, you can fly with it. Here’s a look at the TSA website:

If you’re concerned about flying with CBD products, mail your products to your destination or find a reputable distributor nearby that sells your favorite brand.

Pets, Travel, & CBD

People are not the only ones with travel issues. Pets can suffer from travel anxiety if they are going via car or air. Many pets also suffer from separation anxiety if you are leaving them with friends, family, or in a kennel. A healthy dose of CBD could provide your pet relief.
