Stress Management
Massage in Stressful Times
Getting a massage is effective in stressful times
because it provides a variety of benefits in a short
amount of time. In other words, it can be a means
to quickly recharge in a tight time frame. For
instance, if you only have one hour of free time
throughout your week, dedicating that one hour
to getting a massage can make all the difference.
You will leave feeling more relieved, energized,
and clear-minded than when you walked in. Just
that one hour can set the tone for the rest of your
day or week and improve your quality of life.
Between a career, childcare and all of the other
obligations people must juggle, it can be
challenging to find a moment to relax and
decompress. Moreover, when there are still tasks
left undone, it can be hard to rationalize taking
time for yourself, let alone getting a massage.
You may think of a massage as unnecessarily
pampering yourself or wasting money that could
be used elsewhere. This might be especially true
for mothers, who feel that their time and
resources should be spent on their children.
However, taking time for yourself is not only
beneficial but necessary, and you can do so by
getting a massage.
Why Self-Care is Not Selfish
As humans, we need ample rest and relaxation to
recharge. However, modern society pushes us to
use every minute of our day for productivity. Most
people today do not recharge their emotional and
physical batteries until they are completely empty.
It is common to think that by taking time for
yourself, you are being selfish and wasting time
that could be spent caring for others. However,
the opposite is actually true. By taking care of
yourself, you can take care of others.
This is because we need to restore ourselves and
re-energize our bodies to fulfill our daily
obligations, which include being available to
others. When we tend to others’ needs on an
empty emotional or physical battery, it can lead to
burnout and even resentment. Therefore, it is
necessary to carve out time for yourself to
recenter and fulfill your own needs. Doing so will
give you the resources and energy required to
tend to others’ needs and put your best foot
forward.
In taking time for yourself and practicing self-care,
you are also setting an excellent example for
others. Others can see that you help yourself to
help others, and they may follow your lead.
Besides, you do not have to be alone to practice
self-care! You can set a date with a friend to get
massages together.
Conclusion
Taking time to care for yourself is essential for
your mental and physical health. A fun and
effective way to de-stress and practice self-care is
may getting a massage.
