These days life seems to have one pace: FAST.
Days fly by, your to-do list stacks up, your calendar overflows, before you know it weeks have flown by.
Where do you even find time to have 5 seconds to breathe, let alone time to get a massage?
Just like every other activity in your calendar, you purposefully make time for it. Even crazier, you make time for you!
I can almost guarantee that if you took 30 seconds to stop and assess how your body feels, you would start to realize the toll life has taken on your body. Do your joints feel stiff? Nagging headache? Foggy brain? Trouble sleeping at night?
These are all ways your body is telling you that it is time to slow down and take care of yourself. Listen to them. They may be easily ignored aches and pains now but could easily turn into much bigger problems if they are not addressed correctly. Why add one more problem in life if you can help it?
Studies have shown that as little as 10 - 15 minutes of massage can reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol (long term stress hormone) levels.
Sounds like a pretty healthy alternative to running around like a chicken with their head cut off!
