Either I could transition to a different position or I’d move along.
I’m not sure if I consciously saw just how crazy my life was getting before thing just spun out. For sure, I could feel that I was overwhelmed and borderline burnt out. But I thought that’s just the way successful adults were supposed to feel. That was before things went horribly wrong and I started over with the help of cannabis products. Being a dad in my 40’s, I was under the impression that so much was riding on me being perfect. That’s an insane premise and one that ultimately led to me having a heart attack at 46. I didn’t drink much, I got exercise and I ate decently but I had mountains of stress. Still, I was stunned that I almost died. My wife urged me to seek therapy and part of that therapy came with a trip to the local cannabis spot. The therapist my wife wanted me to see was a holistic therapist who helped people transform to a simpler life. And using indica and sativa strains are part of that. The first thing I did was have a long heart to heart with my bosses. The era of 70 and 80 hour work weeks were over. Either I could transition to a different position or I’d move along. They didn’t want to lose me so they accepted that I wouldn’t be working more than 45 hours per week. It was tough to stick to. But the sativa strains for sale at the cannabis dispensary really helped me check myself. The sativa, as well as the indica strains, gave me more breadth to my perspective that included all of my life, not just my responsibilities.
