Massage - worth every penny!

I've been meaning to share my thoughts on my recent massage. WONDERFUL! I could stop there but that would be pointless! Part of my self care and good limit setting was to schedule a massage before the busy month of February.

The benefits of massage are multitudinous. I don't fit a massage into my life often but I am planning for that to change this year. Massage helps release stress - the ambiance alone is relaxing. Usually there are soothing sounds coupled with great but subtle scents. Obviously, the physical touch aspect of massage eases muscle ache and increases circulation. This is a good thing!
The massage also allows intense physical touch with no expectation of reciprocity. There is a feeling of comfort and safety within the cocoon of your massage blankies. Ahhh, just thinking about it is relaxing.

I also enjoy the conversation about how to care for myself more effectively and more thouroughly. I strongly suggest a massage, with a GOOD therapist for anyone feeling a bit bleh. I am planning to fit a massage into my personal schedule every 8 weeks. (It should be noted that I have had this idea in the past.) This year will be different! I will look at the schedule and send an email to schedule in advance.
Yes, tomorrow I will do it!!
