Call a Family Member

How does it help?

Connecting with a family member makes you feel loved and connected while offering them the same. But reaching out to family, especially if it’s been a while, can be nerve-racking. CBD can ease your nerves and help you do things that scare you, even if they are the right move.

How to:

1. Eat CBD and wait for its effects to take hold.
2. You have control. Tell yourself that the conversation is going to go well, and you will be thankful for it. Go in with a positive attitude.
3. Call them! If it feels awkward, ask questions and let them do the talking. Actively listen and engage.
4. When they ask about you, share and be honest, but also honor your boundaries. You never need to tell your family everything.
5. Consider setting up a monthly or weekly time to catch up, so in the future, you avoid awkward stretches without communication. If the call went terribly, you never have to do it again. If it went well, reflect on how much better you feel for making the call, and appreciate the self-care.
