That time of year has crept up again when we start to debate the topic of New Year’s Resolutions, and how best to keep them. It’s no secret that many fail to upkeep their New Year’s Resolutions which is why many are no longer bothering. But setting goals is one of the best ways to achieve something. Whether it be wellness, saving money, cutting down on technology or something else, there are ways you can make these achievable and ways CBD can help.



What’s the best way to keep to your New Year’s Resolution?

There is no one "best" way to create a New Year's resolution that sticks. Everyone is different and may have different strategies that work for them. However, there are some general tips and strategies that may be helpful in creating a resolution that you can successfully follow through on. Some of these include:

Setting specific, achievable goals
Instead of making a vague resolution like "lose weight," set a specific goal such as "lose 10 pounds by March 1st" or "exercise for 30 minutes at least 3 times per week." This will make your resolution more concrete and easier to track.

Creating a plan of action
Once you have set your resolution, create a plan of action to help you achieve it. This might include breaking your goal down into smaller, more manageable steps, identifying potential obstacles and planning how to overcome them, and setting deadlines for each step along the way.

Seeking support
It can be helpful to enlist the support of friends, family, or a support group to help you stay on track with your resolution. Having people around you who can provide encouragement, accountability, and motivation can be a big help in achieving your goals.

Being persistent and flexible
Achieving a resolution often requires persistence and a willingness to adapt and make changes as needed. If you encounter setbacks or obstacles along the way, don't give up - instead, adjust your plan and keep working towards your goal. And remember, it's okay to make mistakes - just don't let them derail your entire resolution.



Give your goals a positive spin that adds rather than detracts

Have you ever been told you couldn’t do something, by yourself or someone else, and immediately wanted to do it? Chances are the answer is yes. Sometimes we find it easier to change things or add something to our lives than it is to take something away. So instead of your resolutions taking something away, perhaps try changing their angle.

For example, you want to get healthier and exercise more but have struggled before with the goal to ‘exercise more’. Rather than stipulating the number of workout sessions you need to do, why not pair it with something enjoyable like listening to audiobooks or podcasts? Make your New Year’s Resolution to ‘save your audiobooks/podcast episodes for workout days’. Studies have noted that those who listened to novels during a session were 51% more likely to work out.



Ways to use CBD with your New Year’s Resolutions

When considering taking CBD for the first time, there are a few important things to keep in mind. First, it is important to research and understand the potential risks and benefits of using CBD. This includes speaking with a healthcare provider and consulting with reputable sources of information on CBD.

Additionally, it is important to choose a high-quality CBD product like those from Cali Greens, that has been tested by a third-party laboratory to ensure its safety and potency. It is also important to start with a low dose and gradually increase it to see how your body responds to CBD. Finally, it is important to monitor your symptoms and reactions to CBD and to consult with a healthcare provider if you have any concerns.

CBD is commonly used as a supplement, cosmetic or vape product and should not be used as a medicinal product. Cali Green’s products are designed with wellness in mind and are not intended to treat or remedy any medical illness.



Workout & wellness in harmony

Probably one of the most common New Year’s Resolutions, improving health, losing weight or working out more is at the top of many people’s lists. It’s also probably one of the easiest resolutions to end up quitting with. Tie in your new year fitness plans with CBD muscle creams and balms to help soothe tired muscles post-workout.



Selfcare starts with you

This year make it about you. Plan in time for yourself and it doesn’t mean a spa day each week. It can be as simple as catching up with those you care about, having some private time doing your favourite hobbies or even starting a skincare routine. Introducing CBD to your skincare routine couldn’t be easier than with the array of CBD cosmetic products available. Alternatively, popping a couple of drops of CBD oil at the start and end of your day could be enough to help kickstart and round off your day. Whichever works for you is most important.



Learn something new

Some anecdotal evidence has suggested that CBD could potentially increase concentration; albeit some users have reported feeling tired after using CBD, so this could differ for you. But if you’re looking to start a new venture, learn a new skill or take up a new hobby, enjoying a CBD vape at the same time could possibly help improve your focus.
