Waking upΒ in the morning is rarely pleasant. (Unless youβre one of those weird morning people, βhow??) The transition from sleep to awake is often jarring a brief moment of confusion before the realization hits: it is time, yet again, to cosplay as an adult human who has their sh*t together. Studies have shown thatΒ stress anticipation first thing in the morning can negatively affect our entire day. So, to help makeΒ morningsΒ (and the other hours we are awake) a little easier, we have rounded up our favorite tips for waking up gently.

TRY A SLEEP-TRACKING APP
We likeΒ ShutEye, an app that tracks sleep quality, record sounds such as snoring, talking, walking, and time spent in each phase of sleep, and wakes us up in our lightest sleep phase. It also has a mix of sleep sounds and stories for the ones who have trouble falling asleep. Another good similar sleep tracking apps are Sleep Tracker (there are 2 Sleep Tracker apps with that same name, and both are amazing)
These alarms mimic the sunrise to help us wake up naturally, without a noisy alarm sound. Brookstone is one such alarm. It has many cool features that help improve sleep, including gentle white noise/radio stations, customizable light colors, and a wind-down routine. Since we can’t figure out where we got the Brookstone sunrise alarm, below are four similar ones:
Getting out of bed feels even more challenging when itβs too hot or too cold. A smart thermostat can automatically change the temperature at a set time to help us fall asleep and wake up better. Or try theΒ Eight Sleep Pod Pro Cover, a smart device that goes over your mattress and automatically adjusts the bed’s temperature.

Do a quick yoga flow
Take a moment to go through a fewΒ yoga posesΒ that can be done without getting out of bed, like happy baby, pigeon pose, and butterfly, to help calm anxiety and practice mindfulness.

To say Sydney Sweeney is a rising star is an understatement. Her on-screen resume reads like a must-watch TV ad:Β Euphoria,Β The White Lotus, The Handmaidβs Tale, Everything Sucks! Clementine, The Voyeurs, and Sharp Objectsβto name a few.Β And she made her first debut at fashionβs biggest night out (AKA the Met Gala) this year, proving she can add fashion βIt Girlβ to her experience. ItβsΒ not all fame and fashionΒ for the Idaho nativeβshe restores cars, sweats it out in the MMA cage, spoils her rescue pup, and prioritizes herΒ mental healthΒ (a far cry from her Cassie and Olivia characters). We turned to our trusted celebrity sources to get the details on how Sydney finds balance. Read on for five ways Sydney looks after her mental well-being. Celeb or not, we can learn a thing or two from her.Β

Make time for self-care
Carving out me-time has never been more embraced than it is now, but Iβd argue that we could all still use a little nudge now and then. Sydney backs me up on that.Β She reminds usΒ that self-care is individualized and can shift depending on the day or season in your life. βYou can be OK one day and itβs OK if youβre not the next because I think you have to start every day new, and you have to start every day trying to appreciate and love yourself, which can be difficult sometimes,β she said. Sydneyβs form of self-care?Β Uses her nifty ice roller,Β getting lost in HGTV, setting relaxing vibes with candles, and chills with her dog.
Deciding what you need to take care ofΒ yourselfΒ can be a challenge (let alone finding the time to squeeze it in). But self-care can make a world of difference between feeling burned out and empowered. So, whether itβs building your sense of self-worth, working onΒ catching more Zzzs, orΒ moving your body, prioritize your mental wellness.Β
Stretch your budget
You probably donβt think of yourΒ financesΒ when it comes to boosting your mental health, but Sydney encourages thinking twice about how you spend your hard-earned cash. βMy family has always ingrained value in stretching a budget and the importance of money to my mind,βΒ she toldYahoo Life. βWhen you donβt save correctly and donβt spend your money on important things where itβs supposed to be spent, [I saw] what the damage can be.β Sydney was taught the value of a dollar at a young age, and that has translated into her spending habits to this day.Β

Start by creating a budget and start tracking your expenses to see where you can save (yes, there areΒ appsΒ for that.) If youβre ahead of the game (kudos to you!). There are other simple money-saving tricks of the trade: Give yourself 24 hours before checking out for any impulse and got to-have-it-now buys. Use coupon sites likeΒ RetailMeNotΒ andΒ HoneyΒ for necessary purchases, and unplug any unused electronics (looking at you, TV). The silver lining? Save a la Sydney, and you wonβt cramp yourΒ hot girl summer style.Β
I know, easier said than done, but take comfort in knowing this: Even celebs get self-conscious and need to be reminded to practiceΒ self-love.Β Sydney told GlamourΒ that she gets nervous before every red-carpet appearance because she has to put her IRL self out there, instead of a character sheβs playing. In her interview withΒ Yahoo Life, she said self-confidence is a daily process. βSome days I will feel great and some days I donβt want to get out of bed, and I think that itβs OK if you feel both waysβ¦ And sometimes Iβm not happy with myself or something just doesnβt feel right. I think itβs important for everyone to know that everyone has feelings, and itβs OK if you donβt feel confident one day, but just know that youβre beautiful, no matter what.β Our bodies do so much for us, and we only have one for the rest of our lives. Bottom line: Do yourself a favor and take care of your body.Β
If βI love my body,β feels out of reach, thatβs OK. Take a page out of Sydneyβs book and start with honing in on all thatΒ your body is capable of doing, rather than what it looks like. Thereβs so much more to us than physical bodies after all. Try to take judgment out of the equation, and accept that self-love is a journey (with twists and turns, U-turns, and detours), not a race.Β Β

Sweat it out
Sydney isnβt just a badass on screen: BTS, she is killing it in her workouts. FromΒ practicing mixed martial artsΒ (AKA MMA) toΒ two-a-day walks with her dog, Tank, itβs no wonder she has rock-hard abs to go with her crop top and red carpet looks. Admitting sheβs not a fan of the treadmill, she takes to her neighborhood or the beach forΒ quick runsΒ to clear her mind. And if she has more time for a workout, she gets her heart pumping withΒ a workout video. (Is anyone else wondering if she needs a workout buddy? Same.) To make the most of your exercise routine, mix it up like Sydney. Try a new workout you may be intimidated by, or head outdoors forΒ a stroll, hike, or run. Itβs the perfect way to switch up your current routine if you find yourself in aΒ fitness rut.Β
As if her acting resume isnβt impressive enough, Sydney channeled her love of academia into business school classes while filmingΒ The Handmaidβs Tale. βI want to be able to read my contracts and know what the hell they say, so Iβm not getting f*ed over,βΒ she told Cosmopolitan. In 2020, she evenΒ launched her own production company,Β Fifty-Fifty Films, to support first-time female authors, nascent directors, and promising screenwriters. Could she be any more lovable?
If youβre having car troubles or find yourself stranded on the side of the road, Sydney is your girl. Taking ride-or-die to another level,Β she told Pure WowΒ that she has always been interested in cars. And thatβs no jokeβshe took apart and rebuilt a Ford Bronco. Whether itβs the Virgo in her or not, sheβs doing her mental health a lot of good by continuously cultivating new experiences. ResearchΒ showsΒ that learning new skills improves your mental well-being by helping you raise self-esteem and build a sense of purpose. So, if youβve been contemplatingΒ picking up a new hobbyΒ (think:Β journaling,Β reading,Β cooking), take this as a sign to get at it.Β

Now, on to the edible itself. I couldnβt wait to get my hands on this 3Chi Krispy Treat. I tore the package open and shoved half of the treat in my mouth, savoring the sweetness. Then I remembered the packaging included serving sizes. I chewed the half treat in my mouth and looked at the directions. Each Krispy Treat is 4 servings. The whole 3Chi Krispy Treat has 50mg of Delta 8 in it. One of 3Chiβs gummies is 25mg. And the serving size for those are half a gummy. For a total of around 13mg of Delta 8. By eating half of the 3Chi Krispy Treat, I had basically eaten the same as a whole gummy. Oopsy.
About 45 minutes later I felt a definite buzz, but it was so incredibly pleasant. The 3Chi Krispy Treat tasted just like the brand products if not better because they had a bit more marshmallow in them to make them peel apart easier. Thankfully I only ate half of the Krispy Treat even though I wanted to eat a whole one. Theyβre so good I almost couldnβt control myself.
I did notice that I felt the effects of the 3Chi Krispy Treat faster than I have with the gummies. It was also a more gradual high than a gut punch that can happen with gummies, which isnβt a bad thing. Even though I had eaten way more than an appropriate dose, it was still a great experience.
For storage, I wrapped the half of the 3Chi Krispy Treat back up in its wrapper and placed that in a plastic bag. Then I tossed that bag in my freezer. Why? So that the Krispy Treat would last as long as possible. While I would love to just smash the treat, I also want to savor the Delta 8 sensation.
Our Take
I personally take Delta 8 THC in the comfort of my own living room. That way, I know the environment around me in case something happens. Like when I realized I had taken more than the recommended dose and had to sit on my couch for the rest of the night because I was flying like a kite. Do not drive or operate machinery while you are feeling the effects of Delta 8 in your system. It is a psychoactive cannabinoid, so it will impair your body in various ways.
The next morning, after I woke up from my crazy Krispy Treat spree, I felt awake and recharged. Once I fell asleep I was completely zonked. To wake up with no headaches, dizziness, confusion, or paranoia was the best thing I could ask for. If you are looking for a product thatβs sweet and hits that sweet tooth just right, then the 3Chi Krispy Treat is practically calling your name.
Let me tell you, this cookie is delicious. Instead of milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate is used, which creates a richer chocolate taste in the cookie. This is something I prefer and look for when Iβm trying cookies. So, already, this cookie has a leg up from others that typically use milk chocolate.
Next is the size of the cookie. Itβs big, about the size of my whole hand. So for the cost of the cookie, itβs a good amount of sweetness. Plus, the cookie contains 50mg of Delta 8 in it. This makes the deal even better because you can get four recommended serving sizes out of it.
Now, did I get that many out of it? Of course, I didnβt. I had to smash a whole cookie right off the bat. The cookie is delicious and you guys know I have a problem with my sweet tooth. And sometimes I canβt control myself. This is one of those times. I was also supposed to share the cookie with some of my friends who wanted to try Delta 8 products that I have been raving about. Sorry about that guys. Just means I have to get another cookie!
I knocked myself out honestly. A half of Krispy Treat was a bit much to handle. But a whole cookie? Letβs just say I slept so well that night.
Our Take
Delta 8 will knock you out. That I can promise you. I take Delta 8 in the comfort of my living room. That way, if anything does happen, I can react to it even while I am feeling the effects of Delta 8 in me. I highly recommend you do the same, especially the first time you try any Delta 8 products. Then you can learn how you feel when you take Delta 8 and make sure everything goes well.
Waking up the next morning wasnβt as hard as I thought it would be with how much Delta 8 I took. But I woke up in the morning feeling refreshed, ready to take on the day, and surprisingly full of energy. I put that energy to good use and cleaned the house and then dragged friend to a local park to walk around in the beautiful weather while it lasted.Β
Honestly, if youβre interested in Delta 8 products, 3Chi is the way to go. They offer some of the best products on the market and I am always blown away by how amazing they are. Plus, if you have a sweet tooth like me, then their new line of edibles, especially the chocolate chip cookie, is the way to go.Β
With 3Chi, no one is left out. Vegan and still want to get a buzz? No worries, there are the gummies for you. The Delta-8 gummies are gluten-free, vegan, sweet, and fruity gums. Chewing these gums would give you the effective hemp consumption experience, but without the hemp flavor.
The delta-8 gummies of 3Chi are yet another fantastic product from their Delta-8 THC collection and are always included in the Top 5 Delta 8 THC Gummies. These peculiarly formulated gummies that are both effective and yummy come in packs of 16 or 8 gummies 25mg delta-8 content per gummy. In addition to Ξ8 THC, the presence of cannabinoids such as CBN and CBC boost the gummies’ overall performance.
3Chi’s gummies are no different than the ordinary gummies; they taste and smell just like them. The only difference between these gummies and the regular gummies is that they make you feel relaxed and at peace. The 3Chi’s gummies are also vegan-friendly and gluten-free.
It is recommended to have these gummies either with your meals or just half an hour before, but mind you, not more than half an hour. Also, it is better not to drive, operate any machinery or do any heavy tasks after having these gummies. Do not forget to store your gummies in a cold, dry place like a refrigerator to avoid them from melting and getting meshed.
β’ The extract type of product is broad-spectrum.
β’ These gummies are made up of broad-spectrum delta-8 oil with no delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol, sugar, natural colors and flavors, sodium citrate, pectin, and citric acid.
β’ The gummies come in two different flavors, that are, watermelon and black raspberry.
β’ Each gummy contains 25mg of Delta 8 content, making a total of 200mg d8 THC for the pack of 8 gummies and 400mg d8 THC for 16 gummies.
We can have an idea of the immense popularity and the confidence of the customers in this brand by the fact that it takes very less time for the gummies to go out of stock after just being restocked.
CBC and CBN are two cannabinoids that work quite well with Delta-8. 3chi employs this knowledge to blend in these CBDs to their gummies, guaranteeing optimal experience. Consumers trust that the Delta-8 they consume from 3Chi gummies are the purest they can be. This is because the brand goes an extra mile to keep their consumers informed of their processes, ingredients, and what have you.
These gummies take less than 60 minutes to start to kick in. Most of the buyers claimed that the gummies helped them get rid of their stress, anxiety, or sleep issues. The results won’t be the same for everyone; the result may vary from person to person.
A few people, who suffered from anxiety, depression, or sleep issues, claimed to have benefited after consuming these gummy bears. But they recommended using them slowly to let the body adjust to the effects. Most reviewers claimed that this was the best D-8 product theyβve tried.
The effects do tend to last for several hours, so it is advisable not to consume them on an empty stomach. From one consumer to another, the 3Chi gummies make for a beautiful way to unwind at the end of the day.
Our Take:
No matter how you measure, 3Chi gummies are the gold standard when it comes to high quality delta 8 edibles. Their flavor and potency is unlike anything else on the market, and should be your clear first choice when searching for premium products.
In our opinion, there are just a few things to keep if you are buying 3Chi’s gummies. The most important of all is to make sure that you store the gummies in a cool and dry place so that they do not take the shape of a gooey blob.
The good thing is that even if something like that happens, the taste and effects will not change at all.
These gummies do not act in a way to make you dull and sleepy; in fact, they may make you even more active by making you relaxed and stress-free.

Is 3Chi Delta 8 Safe?
It is the personal experience of a biochemist, of 15 years, in developing his methodology of making products based on cannabis. His practical experience of over 15 years revealed that 3Chi stands prominent among the best brands in the D-8 categories.
Being encouraged by the accurate results of the research in developing an extensive range of cannabinoids, 3Chi stepped forward to formulate and introduce the best quality products in the market. 3Chi is the pioneer of custom-designed cannabinoids blends and the latest technologies. It has made the other brands follow the method it has devised.
By dint of the research based on a scientific approach, the brand succeeded in extracting pure Delta- 8 THC from hemp in September 2019. This was the development that opened the avenues for the entrance of the brand in the cannabis industry in America.
Following are the logical reasons for preferring 3Chi:
β’ Hemp Sourced from the U.S
In America, cannabis is legal only if it is derived from hemp. The condition is that it does not exceed the prescribed limit- not more than 0.3% Delta-9THC in dry weight.
The brand concentrates on making the best quality hemp-originated products that are readily available for people. All the Delta-8 THC products are cultivated on licensed hemp farms all over America.
β’ Secure Production and Extraction
The manufacturing and extraction methodology of 3Chi is non-polluting and environment friendly like its farming. It applies the process of CO2 extraction to draw its cannabinoids.
The brand cross-checks its products and extracts for their Delta-8 concentration. It ensures that the products are well up to the mark about their potency, safety, and legality for the consumers in the best possible way.
Even it goes to the extent that it uses a filtration process to detect and remove D-9 THC. The extracts types are also displayed clearly on the websites.
β’ Safe and Healthy Ingredients
3Chi Delta 8 products are genuine and taste great because of the ingredients they are made up of. All the ingredients used are safe and healthy for consumption. However, in case of any medical condition, make sure to consult a physician.
β’ Tested by third-party Laboratories
The distinguishing characteristic of the 3Chi brand is its quality which is assured by a third-party testing system. The whole purpose is to ensure and prove the safety, potency, and effectiveness of its products.
The lab testing strategy aims at proving the legal status of the products. The certificates of the legal status are published on the websites of the brand.
β’ Recognition of Brand
3Chi brands have earned unprecedented fame and repute concerning Delta-8 products. The customers are impressed by the quality of the products and the services being provided to them. The proof of this is the thousands of positive reviews on the official website.

Finally, Should You Choose 3Chi For Delta-8 THC Products?
Letβs be very clear: The choice is yours, and yours alone. But we would highly recommend that you donβt buy counterfeit products from an disreputable vendor.
Itβs safe to choose a brand like 3Chi that produces high-quality, natural hemp products and adheres to federal laws and safety norms.
As the first US brand to sell federally legal and safe D-8 THC products, 3Chi has spent many years on scientific research to develop the finest and most naturally procured Delta-8 products.
3Chi sticks to safe and environmentally sustainable practices in farming, extraction, and manufacturing hemp products and sources its ingredients, including the D-8 extracts, from all-natural and organic sources. That is why the brand has succeeded in delivering the safest and most effective high to its customers without triggering any adverse effects of cannabis consumption.
No brand can claim that their D-8 products wonβt show up on a drug test. 3Chi makes it point to warn users against this. The brand also warns customers and site visitors from handling heavy machinery or driving while using D-8 products.
3Chi is a transparent brand that makes third-party lab test results of all its products public. You can always check them before placing your order. It also provides ample information on what to expect from D-8 products in its blog on the brand website.
Overall, 3Chi is a reliable and responsible brand β one we can trust to give us a safe and mild high after a tiresome day at work.

One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was this: βStop standing in your way.β And the thing standing in the way of us and our dreams? FEAR. Fear that we wonβt succeed, fear that things wonβt work out, and fear that we simply arenβt good enough. It is so easy to allow these fears to have control over us. And when we do, fear limits us by keeping us locked in our comfort zones, driving us to self-sabotage, and keeping us stuck.
But as author Zig Ziglar put it, perhaps FEAR has two meanings, one that confines us and one that empowers us:
Meaning 1: Forget Everything and Run
Meaning 2: Face Everything and Rise
Imagine the potential we would unlock if we began to use fear to help us rise to opportunity rather than run from it. Here are a few tips to help do this:
1. Question Your Thoughts
When the voice of doubt, uncertainty, and fear comes into your mind, take a moment to question its authority. Remember that you are not your thoughts; you are simply the observer of them. This means that you have the power to choose whether to trust and act on these thoughts or choose to ignore, replace, and overcome them. When fear tells you, βDonβt do it, youβll never succeed,β take a deep breath, pause, and replace that thought with one that empowers you. Perhaps you could repeat a positive mantra such as βI am capable of anything I set my mind to.β
2. Be Ok with Discomfort
When fear tells you to βforget everything and runβ and you choose to instead βface everything and rise,β you make that wonderful and liberating choice to step outside of your comfort zone. What inevitably accompanies this decision (to varying degrees) is a feeling of discomfort. Remember that your subconscious finds comfort in the familiar, even if that familiar is not something that serves you. So when you decide to rise (step outside of your comfort zone), your subconscious says to you, βWhatβs going on here? This doesnβt feel right. This isnβt what you normally do.β This creates a feeling of discomfort. At this point, you have another choice to makeβdo you allow the discomfort to push you to self-sabotage and fall back into old patterns, or do you sit with that discomfort, be OK with it, and keep going for the greater good?

3. Heal the Source
Fear is almost always driven by a culmination of your insecurities, past experiences, and old pain. When you become aware of your fear, you can allow it to guide you to unhealed wounds that need some love, care, and attention so that you can break the fear cycle.
4. Find Your Reason
When fear rears its ugly head, you need a good enough reason to fight it off and move forward. You need to be clear on WHY you should choose not to Forget Everything and Run, but instead Face Everything and Rise. Ask yourself, βWhat change do I want in my life and why do I want it?β Allow your desire and passion for personal growth to drive you, undeterred by the doubt in your mind.
5. Get Ready
When you start to live a life that is not governed by fear but is fueled by it, your life will transform in every way. So get ready to let go of the past and embrace the endless possibilities ahead of you.
Essentially, what Iβm trying to say is this: fears will come into your mind, but see them for what they areβunwelcome visitors. Donβt allow them to control your behavior or dictate what you do or donβt do. Donβt allow them to rule over you and your future. Do not allow yourself to be mindfucked by your fear. Remember that you always have a choice. So choose to take charge, rise above your fears and doubts, step out of your comfort zone, unlock your fullest potential, and manifest the life of your f*cking dreams!
