Massage & Massage Therapy: No Longer a Guilty Pleasure

Pick a lifestyle any lifestyle, go ahead, I won't peek!
Without knowing who you are or where you live and without
knowing another single fact about you, I'm prepared to
wager that for you, there just aren't enough hours in the
day, whatever your circumstances are.

Again, I'll wager that you have too much to do and not
nearly enough time to do it in. OK, it doesn't take a
rocket scientist to work that one out because I know I've
chosen a very popular theme, one that affects, well… almost
everyone.

Between work commitments and family commitments, it's
incredibly easy to lose yourself and your own identity in
the pursuit of looking after others.

Allow yourself to imagine, just for a minute, that you pay
the same attention to your own needs that you do for
others. If you really gave this a go, you would quickly see
a brighter picture. You may not be immediately aware of the
benefits, but trust me, setting aside a little time for
yourself has benefits you just wouldn't believe.

No excuse is needed to take care of YOU, the most important
person in your life. The change doesn't have to be radical,
start small and begin with something as simple as setting
aside some time just for you. If your life has been one
long exercise in looking after everyone else's needs, then
even spending some quiet time alone will carry some guilt,
but stay focused and remember, all you are trying to do is
redress the balance.

Consider something totally new, consider a manicure or a
pedicure, or do yourself a huge favour and consider having
a massage. Whatever you decide, just turn a little
attention back to you. If having a massage seems too much
of a luxury, think again. Massage and massage therapy is no
longer an activity reserved for the wealthy and the
benefits of massage go way beyond the physical.

If the thought of a full body massage scares the life out
of you, start with the most uplifting and rewarding massage
of all, a facial. A facial massage if something you could
do for yourself, with your own hands in the comfort and
privacy of your own home, and as a taste of what is
possible, it shouldn't be too difficult to justify. (to
yourself!)

Your hands are a masterpiece of design and they're an
evolutionary triumph. It would be a shame not to use them.
Your own hands have an intimate knowledge of the face that
you display to the world.

For most of us, putting ourselves first is an unthinkable
luxury which is an idea that is quickly discarded. My
advice is not to be too hasty. Don't beat yourself for
putting yourself first. It'll put you in a much better
position to help and coach others.

Have a good think about massage though because if you look
great there's more than a good chance that you'll feel
great too and from there, the possibilities are endless.

In the meantime I wish you continued outstanding health.
