New Year's resolutions are always the piecrust promise to yourself of all the new changes you will make in the New Year. I never put much stock in it. I only looked to make a couple of changes that would impact my life as well as not putting a timeframe on it. Sometimes the best thing you can do is plant the seeds, nurture them, and allow time to bring about the new things.

For me, Big Cat Cannabis was such a seed. The idea for Big Cat Cannabis did not sprout until the final months of this year. Cannabis, Herbs/Nutritional supplements and Health are full of mystery and I am going to point the way in what to do and how to do it when it comes to combining them for optimum health and life.
In 2018, I will expand the concept...
Steemit, instagram and youtube are part of the journey into Blogging/Vlogging about Cannabis, Health and how herbal/nutritional supplements with Cannabis can be of benefit in living a fulfilled and healthy life.

Cannabis has many wonderful properties and effects depending on the strain…Sativa, Indica or a combination known as hybrids. Knowing which one is right for you and what your needs are is important. Given that we are talking about motivation in relation to the New Years resoloution, our focus will be on the Sativa/Sativa dominant strains.
Sativa is uplifting- energizing and motivating.
Just a side note to give some background-Indica is relaxing pain releiving great for insomnia or when you really need to decompress and de-stress.
Hybrids give you a combination of both depending on which is dominant in the strain, Indica or Sativa.
So with that lets look at Sativa and Sativa dominant both which can help you get active, creative and refocused! Some of Sativa/Sativa dominant in hybrid characteristics are-
Uplifting
Energetic
Happy
Creative
Outgoing
Motivated
Pain relief
With those characteristics, it is a good choice for the winter blues, SAD, depression, and lack of motivation. We all can do with some Sativa/Sativa dominant strains in our life. Some popular strain names are,
Maui Wowie- Purple Haze- Sky Master- Lemon Ice- Amnesia haze to name a few.
One of my favorite is Amnesia haze the characteristics as I find them are as follow in flavor-
Earthy, lemony/citrus
This is the perfect strain to start your day with a smile and without fail will uplift and energize you. Depression and bad moods melt away! Thats why I love Amnesia and other Sativa's/Sativa dominant strains with similar characteristics.
