It is 12:53 a.m., technically Tuesday, but I am counting this post for Monday. I was so SO thankful for (#3) Massage today. A good massage therapist is supposed to practice what they preach. Getting regular massages helps you feel good and keeps you from getting injured. Sadly I have been a big hypocrite lately when it comes to getting a massage. I spend all day educating people on the benefits they can receive from regular massages, and yet mine have been few and far between. Well that all changed today. I traded with a girl from work today and it was amazing!
If you haven’t had a massage you should put that on your list of things to do this year. It can relieve stress, chronic pain, and increased overall well-being. Plus it feels wonderful! A massage table has become one of the most comfortable places on earth for me. However I didn’t always feel this way. The first week of massage school is quite an interesting experience. You come in really stoked to be getting a massage every day as part of your school work. It sounds like the easiest thing ever. But then you find out that you are expected to get undressed underneath a sheet and lay naked on the table in a room full of strangers and then be massaged by a therapist who is just as clueless as you are. Let's just say those first few days were not the most relaxing. But, fast forward to the last week of school and you find that you don’t even care how many people are in the room. You just want to get on that table as soon as possible. The minute your face hits that headrest you let go of everything and melt into the table. You then get to mentally check out for a whole hour while the therapist kneads all the stress out of your muscles. It is a fantastic moment that everyone should get to experience.
So again, if you haven’t had a massage at this point in your life I strongly suggest you make it a priority. Your entire body will thank you.
