Work stress was living rent-free in my shoulders. I\u2019d tried everything short of moving to a remote island. I knew I needed to create some separation between my work and personal life. Then I kept seeing articles about work-life balance, and I thought\u2026 fine, let\u2019s see if the internet is lying again.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"my-approach-to-creating-a-switch-off-routine\">My Approach to Creating a \u201cSwitch Off\u201d Routine<\/h2>\n<p>I realized that I needed a multi-faceted approach. CBD was part of it, but so were other lifestyle changes. It was about creating a ritual that signaled to my brain that work was done.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"my-switch-off-components\">My \u201cSwitch Off\u201d Components<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>CBD Tincture:<\/b> Cornbread Hemp CBD Oil (Full Spectrum)<\/li>\n<li><b>Digital Detox:<\/b> Turning off work notifications and setting a phone curfew<\/li>\n<li><b>Physical Activity:<\/b> Evening walk or yoga session<\/li>\n<li><b>Mindfulness:<\/b> 15 minutes of meditation<\/li>\n<li><b>Relaxation:<\/b> Hot bath with Epsom salts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"my-exact-routine-copy-paste-if-you-want\">My Exact Routine (Copy-Paste If You Want)<\/h2>\n<p><b>5:30 PM:<\/b> Shut down my laptop and turn off all work-related notifications.<br \/>\n<b>5:45 PM:<\/b> Prepare and take 25mg of Cornbread Hemp CBD oil.<br \/>\n<b>6:00 PM:<\/b> Go for a 30-minute walk in my neighborhood.<br \/>\n<b>7:00 PM:<\/b> Prepare dinner and listen to a podcast.<br \/>\n<b>8:00 PM:<\/b> Hot bath with Epsom salts and a book.<br \/>\n<b>9:00 PM:<\/b> 15 minutes of guided meditation.<br \/>\n<b>10:00 PM:<\/b> Bedtime.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"week-by-week-breakdown-the-real-tea\">Week-by-Week Breakdown \u2013 The Real Tea<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"week-1-is-this-sustainable\">Week 1: \u201cIs this sustainable?\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>The first week was the hardest. I was constantly tempted to check my email.

The CBD continues to help me manage stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-role-of-cbd-cornbread-hemp-specifically\">The Role of CBD (Cornbread Hemp Specifically)<\/h2>\n<p>I chose Cornbread Hemp because it&#8217;s USDA certified organic and full-spectrum.
