Last week I received my first massage of the year. The effects were some apparent immediately, some revealed them selves throughout the week. Some were physical , some emotional, some mental. Mentally I can feel that awareness, not only of the tension held , but of all the things I am doing out of default mode that contribute to my tension or aches.
How many massages will I have this year? Is this something you ever ask your self?
Last year I had more massages than cinema visits, but it wasn’t really that many, by the time I booked my body was so in need. They are a mini reset, a holiday, a necessity, a fundamental self care tool, and yes, some times also a privilege. But I’d be careful to call them a treat. A treat is a dessert, something I want but don’t need. Under the self care umbrella a treat for me is bathbombs in a bath or a pretty candle or an ultra soft pillowcase. Someone deeply listening to the aches of my body and working through mobility of my tissues and easing tensions, it’s a treatment.
How many massage treatments will you have this year?
