Five tips for more self-love by our favorite canna mamas

We asked ourselves, “Who gets pulled in a million directions every day and still comes out the other side shining?” Mothers, obviously. So, we reached out to our favorite Canna Mamas Keira Sumimoto of Cannabis & Parenthood and Bianca Snyder of High Society Mama,  to share how they prioritize self-love. Because if anyone knows how to do it all, it’s them.

Keira’s Five Tips:

1. Yoga or a low impact workout
2. Meditation. Take a break from the chaos and center yourself.
3. Food. Know and understand your limits, don’t eat what you don’t like, even if it is your aunt’s special recipe.
4. Cannabis. Be it CBD, THC, or a good ratio, take some time for yourself. Get outside for a walk with family members who partake. Those are the best conversations.
5. Take care of yourself before you take care of others. During the season of giving, we can often get caught up in the giving. It’s okay to take once in a while, too.

Bianca’s Five Tips:

1. Move – Our bodies were built to move and living a stagnant life. Try mixing up your body movements each day.
2. Live in Harmony with Nature – Practice daily self-care rituals called Dinacharya which translates to “following the rhythm of the day.” When we are in sync with the natural world around us, everything begins to flow.
3. Make a Difference – Altruistic behaviors are found to be associated with improved well-being, health, and longevity. Expanding love beyond our boundaries and into all of humanity, is the true gift.
4. Seek Adventure – When we think of self-care most think of relaxing. But, not all self-care needs to be quite so chill. One of the 6 human needs is for happiness is variety!
5. Prioritize Yourself – To persevere, we must not sacrifice our own happiness.  If we continually put others before our needs and are falling short of goals, then ultimately this is a lose-lose. There must be a win-win to thrive.
