If you’re feeling more stressed, worried, and burnt out, you’re not alone. Many adults are feeling extra stressed and pressed now more than this time last year.[1] And there are a ton of reasons to blame, but many of these are unfortunately out of your control. So, let’s focus on the one you can affect. As Jack Kornfield said, “Tend to the garden you can touch.” When remedying your stress levels, one of the easiest places to start is your own inner wellness. Ironing out a daily wellness plan can help minimize stress’ impact on your mind and body. Plus, it can help build healthier habits that sustain you for years to come.
But what is “wellness” exactly? How do you actually improve your wellness? Can you use CBD for wellness (hint: of course)?** And what’s the relationship between wellness and stress? Before we explore wellness-boosting practices, let’s take a look at how higher stress can affect your wellness, especially during cold and flu season.
The Stress of Cold & Flu Season
Cold and flu season always seems to sneak up right as the holiday decor gets exhumed from the attic. Sometimes, we just get a little head cold that forces us to go through the week with some sinus pressure. Other times, we are completely horizontal, a litter of tissues and cough-drop wrappers piling up next to us. Add on top of that the surging country-wide wave of stress, and we might all be in for a stuffy, sniffly, sneezy winter.
This is because stress can overwork your immune system, causing it to be ill-prepared for viruses and bacteria.[2] When you’re more stressed, you’re more susceptible to things like the common cold and seasonal flu. If your wellness plan is not stress-reducing, vitamin-rich, and antioxidant-abundant, you might be walking into winter without your wellness essentials. But don’t worry: There’s CBD for that.**
How CBD Can Help
CBD is a very versatile compound that easily pairs well with other wellness-boosting compounds, like vitamins, antioxidants, adaptogens, and more. Plus, it offers its own stress-reducing benefits, too! Let’s discuss.
A Daily Boost of Mind-Body Wellness
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid that’s abundant in hemp and cannabis plants. It uniquely interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system, which is a network of receptors that regulates essential functions like sleep, energy, mood, appetite, and more. When this system isn’t working at its best, you may feel a gradual decline in mind-body wellness. But, after you take a CBD-rich product, the cannabinoids in the product bolster the system’s functions, leading to a rise in overall wellness.**
Multiple Wellness-Enriching Formulas
But those aren’t the only benefits CBD products offer. We make a wide range of CBD products with additional wellness ingredients to promote immune function, gut health, antioxidant support, and more.** So, you can target seasonal wellness from multiple angles.
How to Use CBD for Wellness
On its own, CBD can offer wellness-boosting benefits that help deflate stress and improve your seasonal cheer.** But you need a plan to reap those rewards. Below, we’ll show you how to fortify your daily wellness schedule with CBD; here’s a little cheat sheet to help you get a headstart.

Make Wellness a Habit
Stress can take a toll on your daily wellness, especially during cold and flu season. But fear not, because you can tackle the problem before it becomes one. By taking conscious care of your wellness, you can set the foundation for a fortified immune system, sleep schedule, and stress-proof schedule. All you need to do is take a breath, release your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and take life one step at a time. It might feel stressful now, but it won’t always. Remember, as Jack Kornfield said, “Tend to the garden you can touch.” And daily wellness is definitely within reach.
