Finding a Calm Moment in the Chaos

The holidays are magical… and a lot. Between family gatherings, travel, gifting, cooking, and trying to create picture-perfect memories, it’s no wonder stress levels rise this time of year. While the season is meant to be joyful, many of us end up feeling stretched thin.

If you’ve been searching for a natural way to stay grounded, calm, and a little more you this holiday season, CBD may offer the relief you’ve been craving.

At Hempward Farms, we believe in simple, farm-to-shelf wellness solutions that support everyday people (and pets!) — especially during the busiest time of the year.

Why the Holidays Can Trigger Stress

Even the merriest among us feel it:

• Tight schedules

• Crowded stores and travel

• High expectations

• Family dynamics

• Disrupted routines

• Overeating, overscheduling, and overspending

Your nervous system is doing a lot of work keeping up. CBD can help bring things back into balance.

How CBD Supports a Calmer Holiday Season

1. Natural Stress & Anxiety Relief

CBD is known for supporting the body’s endocannabinoid system — the internal network that helps manage mood, stress response, and emotional regulation.During high-pressure weeks, a daily CBD routine can help you feel steadier and more relaxed.

Most popular picks for stress relief:

• Full-Spectrum CBD Oil

• CBD Softgels for simple, consistent dosing

2. Sleep Support for Busy Brains

Holiday to-do lists have a way of running through your head at 2 a.m. CBD may support deeper, more restorative sleep by helping quiet the mind and reduce nighttime tension.

Try taking a dose 30–60 minutes before bed to unwind naturally.

3. Easing Holiday-Related Aches & Tension

Carrying heavy shopping bags, long car rides, more cooking than usual — your body feels that, too. CBD topicals can help relieve:

• Neck and shoulder tightness

• Foot and back soreness

• General inflammation

Your holiday may feel a whole lot brighter when your body does.

4. Staying Centered Around Family Gatherings

We love family… and we all know holiday get-togethers can be emotionally charged. CBD helps support emotional balance, patience, and a gentler response to stressors — so you can stay present and enjoy the moment.

Finding Your Holiday CBD Routine

Everyone is different, but here are a few simple tips:

• Start early. Don’t wait until the stress peaks — begin using CBD daily the week before Thanksgiving or Christmas.

• Dose consistently. CBD works best when taken regularly, not just as needed.

• Choose full-spectrum. It contains naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes that work together for maximum benefit.

• Listen to your body. You can adjust your dose as needed through the season.

Holiday Relief for the Whole Family (Pets Included!)

Travel, visitors, and schedule changes can rattle pets, too — especially dogs. If your pup gets anxious with guests, fireworks, or disrupted routines, a small dose of CBD can help them relax during the excitement.

Give Yourself Permission to Slow Down

The holidays shouldn’t feel like a marathon. They’re about connection, warmth, and the simple joy of being together. If CBD can help you reclaim a little calm in the chaos, we consider that a holiday win.

From our family-run farm here in Boulder to your home — we’re wishing you a season filled with peace, joy, and ease.
