Can CBD Gummies Help You Control Your Emotions Better?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Emotional health is a hot topic these days with more and more people focusing on their emotional wellbeing. The old way of hiding emotions and refusing to show “weakness” in that way is understood to be bad for society and individual health, and as a result, more people are trying to get better control of their emotions in order to enjoy a life of health and happiness.

This new research has been groundbreaking in helping individuals improve their emotional health, but there are still times when emotions should be controlled and managed. You can’t start crying while at work, for example.

CBD may be an answer for helping you take charge of your emotional health. CBD gummies are great for helping with anxiety, depression, and other emotional struggles. Here’s how they might be able to help you.

How CBD Aids Emotional Health

CBD gummiesfrom reputable companies like Penguin are made from the hemp plant, a cannabis plant that is very high in CBD and very low in THC. THC is the psychoactive component of cannabis that causes a high, so you don’t have to worry about getting high and ignoring your emotions. Instead, you’ll be able to use the power of cannabinoids to recognize and help control the feelings you’re having.

It’s believed that CBD works in the body by interacting with your body’s endocannabinoid system. This is a structure that seems to be responsible for hormone production, among other things. Hormones are usually the cause of our emotions for good or bad.

Because of CBD’s interaction with your endocannabinoid system, CBD has been associated with helping to relieve anxiety and depression among users. These emotions are typically the result of a surge of negative emotions like cortisol, the stress hormone. CBD is believed to restore balance and increase dopamine production in order to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.

CBD has also been linked with treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This condition is often characterized by nightmares, irrational fears, feelings of isolation, and more. PTSD patients often struggle to sleep because of the nightmares, and when they do sleep, it’s fitful. Unfortunately, this can worsen the effects of PTSD.

CBD products like gummies might help patients to regain sleep and therefore restore their mental and emotional health. Sleep is often a product of CBD, as it can help patients fall asleep faster and enter a deep, dreamless sleep. Several studies have shown the positive effects of CBD on helping PTSD patients sleep.

The finest product for an improved night's sleep is the CBD Gummies. These cbd gummies sleep products are made with a sophisticated combination of sleep terpenes, cannabinoids, and other plant components that includes broad spectrum CBD.

CBD Gummies Work Best with Emotional Mindfulness

While CBD gummies on their own offer a profound effect on your health and wellbeing, it likely won’t be enough to regain control of your emotions. It will simply take the edge off so you can better focus on emotional mindfulness.

Emotional mindfulness encompasses a school of thought that being mindful of your emotions is the best way to control them. The ironic part about this study is that the way to control them is to not control them at all.

Modern psychologists say that “bottling up” your emotions is actually very bad for your health, despite what pop culture and society says. You may feel that it’s required to keep your emotions in check to be respected at work or among your peers, but this may be exactly what’s causing an uptick of anxiety and depression in America.

One psychologist, Hilary Jacobs Hendel and author of the book It’s Not Always Depression shares that her patients have responded very well to mindfulness training, even when their emotional health got so bad that it affected their physical health.

“To heal the mind, we need to experience the emotions that go with our stories, and those are located in the body,” she writes in a Time article. “When we are taught about the automatic nature of emotions and learn to identify and work with the core emotions beneath our anxiety, we feel and function better.”

There are several techniques for being more mindful of your emotional health. The first is to simply stop what you’re doing and think about how you feel. Most people struggle with feeling mindful of their emotions simply because they always have tech in their hands or on a screen in front of them. They’re always on their phones, working on a laptop, or watching TV. Sometimes, they do all three at the same time!

Try setting down whatever tech tools you’re using and just think. You might sit in a quiet area or go for a walk without earbuds in your ears. Notice what’s on your mind, name the emotions you’re feeling if you can, and accept them. Recognize that feeling an emotion is perfectly normal, and if you don’t like what you’re feeling, think about what you can change to make yourself feel better.

You can also try being mindful of your physical surroundings. Notice how the chair your sitting on feels, the temperature of the room, the smells, and other sensory things. Naming these physical, environmental factors can help you get into the right headspace and practice for naming your emotions and working through them.

If you’re struggling to get into the mindset, try some simple deep breathing exercises. Breath in through your noise, expanding your lungs fully until you can’t anymore, then hold that breath for eight seconds. Then, expel the breath through your mouth, trying to release every milliliter of air. Take a break for a few seconds and repeat this exercise three times. Then try your mindfulness practice again.

Try to take a few minutes to be mindful of your emotional health each day. You might start or end your day with mindfulness and/or address it when you’re feeling a negative emotion. Either way, this practice alongside your intake of the best CBD gummies can be revolutionary in helping you take charge of your emotional health and regain confidence in your health and abilities.

Tour of Container Gardening at our "Condo"

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Almost three times the size of my index finger. This ampalaya fruit is going to be big!

But before I give you a tour of the veggies I've grown in containers, let us thank every drizzle or rain that has come to bless us.

Somewhere out there's probably a plant that is on the verge of dying because of thirst .... and thus revived by the rain, no matter how little and few its droplets!!

My prayers got answered so fast.

Somebody donated a bunch of used mineral water containers. He told me to come back if ever I need more...

Wow! Somebody up there likes me. :)

Hhhmmm.....I saw some using their empty milk cartons as pots too. Should I follow their lead?

Everything happens for a reason, but if it did not rain, I know there's a good Samaritan out there that will water the plants to keep it's species in existence..

With so many species of life for both plants and animals, as well as humans having different color, nationalities, culture and beliefs, there must be a masterbuilder that designed all of these wonders of nature, otherwise we are a miracle constantly evolving.

But with some using Science and Technology to reshape, not only to fix but to distort, God's creations, are we still highly favorable in His eyes?

Many of us believe we are on top of the food chain and that we are the most highly developed beings on this world. Yet there are still so many mysteries waiting to be solved.

Grown from just a pot, I already have 7 fruits from the ampalaya vine. I am not expecting every single one to be harvested as some do get aborted due mostly to insects like fruit flies boring its way inside the fruit to inseminate eggs before I even had the chance to protect them by inserting them in plastic bags.

"Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it."

Grown from a dried-up turmeric that we would normally throw away in the past. Never expected it to survive after I put it in soil.

You can see that the plastic container is not even full of soil coz I try my best to maximize what is left of my few resources....and like I said, didn't expect it to grow.

There has always been a warm feeling as I go through this gardening hobby of mine. Every life coming out of the soil, and sustaining their existence until their fruit-bearing or harvesting stage, always gives me joy inside.

Yung kamatis seedlings kong doing yoga stretching everyday.. :)

How come I said that?

Wala kasing direct sunlight sa amin so they will lean left towards the direction of the sun, then I will turn the plastic container pot so they will lean right, then turn them again tomorrow so they will lean left again....and the cycle will continue everyday.

Ngayon makulimlim dahil umaanbon so they are standing straight this time.

My Aloe Vera has given birth to a baby AV

Dragon fruit cuttings!!!

Eto next kong target na harvest  so I can drink blue tea from clitoria ternatea or butterfly pea flowers.

I once grew this plant to a vine and had lots of flowers for tea.. but I had to let it go when the cats kept pooping on its pot.

Also missing my tarragons, basils, ...plus the collection of cactus and succulents...all had to go coz it's either them or the cats

Only lately I've discovered there are ways for both to coexist. Cats can be trained like dogs too.

So I guess it doesn't have to be a question of "who gets to live" but "how can we coexist" :)

So if anybody knows where I could buy this plant, whether seedlings or seeds, please do let me know.

We all need to go through some sort of challenges to grow a lot more stronger and survive.

just as you let a buterrfly break out of its cocoon on her own.

or a baby bird making an effort in coming out of its egg.

Growing our own food should be the goal of everyone. Even just a few of our faves or regularly consumed crops. Anything we can grow in pots or used containers, not necessarily bought but even just from kitchen scrap. Instead of throwing out our waste, let's put them into good use.

Make a compost bin to throw in peels that will eventually turn into useful source of nutrients for our plants, or setup a worm bin where we can harvest worm poop that can be used as fertilizers.

Reuse biscuit containers, softdrink bottles, old pots and pans, flour or rice sacks, etc., as pots.

Will it be possible to plant everything included in the Bahay Kubo song? Alternating perhaps.

Me? I'm happy just harvesting a few talbos ng kangkong or kamote. But nothing is stopping me from wanting to plant more.
