New Year’s resolutions can help you start the year off motivated and excited. Here are 5 helpful ideas if you consume marijuana.

New Year’s resolutions have their limitations, but they’re a nice thing to do when looking ahead towards the coming year. These goals can range from something tangible, like losing a set amount of pounds, to something less easy to define, like getting more joy out of each joint you smoke. The latter one seems like an easier and more enjoyable thing to add to your resolutions.

No matter your objectives, resolutions should be done in a way that makes you happy and more fulfilled, never in a way that adds extra stress to your life or makes you feel like you’ve failed at something. For those trying to get more enjoyment out of your smoke sessions, or simply trying to change your relationship with marijuana, here are some healthy ideas for your New Year’s weed resolutions:

Make a smoking schedule

A schedule can help you smoke more or less, depending on your needs. With lockdown measures and tons of people working from home, smoking and drinking can quickly transform into every day activities, habits that are easy to form but difficult to break. While this works for some, the majority of people need stretches of time where they’re sober in order to work and be productive.

Try new things

Another addition to your New Year’s resolution can be to try new things, whether that means new hobbies or new ways to smoke weed. Try cooking some edibles or purchasing a type that you’ve never had before, or a strain recommended by your budtender that you’ve yet to try. These new experiences can result in great memories and new ways of adding some spice in your life.

Pair smoking with other activities

People are creatures of habit, forming their rituals and schedules without knowing that they’re doing them. While habits are great and should be encouraged, it’s nice to try something different now and then. Switch up your smoking routine by pairing it with new activities, making it into a complement instead of the main activity that you’re focusing on. Smoke some weed and go for a walk, or smoke right before a workout and see what happens.

Take tolerance breaks

A helpful approach to cannabis this year could be to know and learn your limits when it comes to your weed use. While smoking weed can be a great experience, what matters most is to keep a healthy relationship with it, one where you reap the benefits of it without relying on the drug for fun or any other reason. Exploring and deepening your relationship with marijuana is a positive thing, one that can help you understand what works for you and what doesn’t.
