Prioritising self-care for the year ahead is a brilliant way to build mental and emotional resilience – and with so much turmoil going on around us at the moment, there’s never been a more important time to find new strategies for coping.
There are all sorts of ways in which you can self-care and the key is to find what works best for you, whether that’s by focusing on skincare, going to the gym, getting out and about in nature or curling up with a good book and getting an early night.
But there is something that should perhaps go at the top of the list that you may not have considered before and that’s going for regular massages, a wonderful way to self-soothe and make you feel ready to tackle whatever the world has to throw at you next year and beyond.
Massage therapy can be incredibly relaxing and helps you to reduce your stress levels and any anxiety you may be feeling, giving your body a chance to unwind and repair. There are so many different types of massage that you could have a thoroughly enjoyable time trying them all out to find your favourites.
You can also tailor your massages to suit different complaints, whether you want a deep tissue massage to address specific physical issues or if you’re looking for something calming, in which case a Swedish massage might be the better option.
Going for a massage is also an excellent way to escape the hustle and bustle of the outside world. You can get away from your phone, your emails and your responsibilities for an hour or so, giving your mind a chance to rest so you can fully decompress and leave feeling entirely revitalised.
