Massage
I find it helpful at times to get a massage to deal with the physical effects of stress. I feel the benefit for weeks and sometimes months afterwards.
Maybe these career schools that make all of this money could reinvest in their employees and treat us to a stress relieving massage from time to time every term? I thing that would be a great idea!
I agree with messages and soothing music of the ocean. It eases the mind.
So nice to hear Norma and I experience the same thing. Massage can have both physical and mental benefits. It's a great way to unwind!
A good massage can work wonders not only physically but mentally as well, I tend to go to my happy place and become free of all stress and worries when I get one.
Excellent to hear Joannie! Many spas offer great massage packages. I recommend once a month if you possibly can. I know it can be tough to schedule, but it's a great way to recharge!
I too have found massages as a great way to deal wtih stress. I have a massage spa membership. Altough I cannot make it each month, I try to go at least every other month and definitely when I am on vacation.
We have a massage clinic here at our school that, as instructors, we can visit and get a discount also.
Massage sounds like a very good idea and I must try it sometime. It helps to relax the muscles that have tensed during stressful times.
Sounds like a wonderful way to unwind Christine. Thanks for sharing. Even giving yourself a pedicure is a great way to relax.
After being on the classroom all week I find a great stress reliever to be a foot massage & pedi.
Sounds like a wonderful approach Lynae. It's true that when working at a desk, many people experience stiffness. Going to a chiropractor and or even just getting a massage is a great strategy.
I feel the same way. Going to a chiropracter heps me. After staring at a computer screen for hours entering grades etc. I end up getting stiffness.
Wow, what a wonderful benefit Martin! That's excellent to hear and I hope you take full advantage!
Absolutely. Fortunately, the school I teach at also has a message therapy course which gives instructors a discount. Nice benefit.
I agree! Not only does it offer a physical release...it is a great time to sort through things in your brain without other distractions. Great idea...ALWAYS! :)
Indeed! It's amazing how fast massage works too Tara. Within just a few minutes, you are a totally new person!
What a wonderful way to relax Don! I'm glad to hear your wife was able to talk you into it. Having a little me time can be just the trick.
I went to a spa with my wife while we were on vacation last year. She talked me into getting a massage and it was awesome. I felt so destressed and relaxed afterwards that nothing seemed to bother me. Not even the bill.
I agree 100%. A massage can do wonders...even a 15 minute chair massage can help your overall well being immediately!
