Let me set the scene: It’s a Sunday morning. Your mouth is drier than the Sahara desert, your head hurts from a Saturday of dancing and sipping on margs, and you’re desperately trying to forget the horror that was you, singing a cringeworthy rendition of Celine Dion to a bunch of strangers during last night’s karaoke sesh. What is the only thing that will save you from certain death? Gatorade, a cold, refreshing blue drink. You make a mad dash through the CVS aisles and grab the bag before heading to self-checkout. The kiosk reminds you to “grab your receipt” and you find yourself baffled at the concept of how one singular item can yield 6 whole feet of paper. But then you remember—you’re too hungover to care.
I’ve been using “CVS receipt” as a unit of measurement for as long as I can remember, and while it’s not a standardized length, it’s synonymous for “ungodly long.” There’s no better way to describe a to-do list that contains a massive number of action items including, but not limited to, responding to emails, prepping for meetings, getting a few steps in, and following up on project after project. On days when my to-do list exceeds CVS receipt, I often turn to Equilibria’s holy grail CBD products.
I used to be a person who was up for the challenge of an impending deadline, straddling multiple tasks at once, and being a “yes” girl to any last-minute task that came my way. Now? A bursting-at-the-seams, busy day is enough to send me into a spiral, which can negatively impact my mood, my ability to focus, and the wind-down when it comes time for sleep. These are the three CBD products that I rely on to keep my mind and body healthy during my busiest days.
1. To calm my nerves, anxiety creeps into:
To-do lists are a love-hate relationship for me. They’re the only way that I can keep my life together, but, also, when it starts to get long, my anxiety tends to creep in and get to a point where it cripples me from even tackling tasks, which—you guessed it—leads to even more anxiety. My Equilibria RapidCalming melts are my go-to when I feel like my flight-or fly response is going into self-sabotage mode. These are my favorite because they are quick-acting and help me feel calm in the midst of chaos.

2. To reach a flow state that yields positive results:
It was the fact that CBD can improve focus that attracted me to try CBD. And once I realized there would be a possibility that my brain wouldn’t jump from singing the Empire Carpet theme song to re-experiencing the embarrassment of the most recent time I said “you too” when the waiter told me to “enjoy my food” in a matter of 0.02 seconds, I said, say no more. I especially feel like my attention span is poor when I’m stressed (see above: anxiety) and when I have caffeine on board, which, let’s be honest, I almost always do.
The Daily Drops from Equilibria are great to add to my matcha latte or coffee in the morning to help me get back on track and get things done. The caffeine gives me energy and the CBD helps me focus. This has been a great way to get into a flow state that allows me to produce results.

3. After a long day of work, it is time to wind down.
By this point, it’s no secret: I’m a bit of a head case. On busy days when I’m jumping from task to task and grinding it out, it can be really hard for me to turn my brain off and carve out time for relaxation and rest. And if there’s one thing I learned over the past few years of burning myself out with work and life, it’s that finding time amongst a busy day to do things I love, recharge, and truly rest is absolutely crucial for my ability to bounce back the next day. I love to read light, low-stakes books when it’s time to go to bed.
I’ve used a lot of sleep aids to help me wind down in the past, but truly, nothing works as well as Equilibria’s formula. These gummies contain 25 mg of CBD and 5 mg of cannabinol, which helps to synergistically enhance the CBD’s effectiveness. I take them before bed, and they help me to relax, fall asleep, stay asleep, and calm down. It has made it so easy for me to wake up feeling refreshed, better able manage my anxiety, and ready for whatever the day (and the CVS receipt-esque to-do-list) has in store.
Equilibria
