Self-massage

You are undoubtedly well aware of the significant benefits that a professional massage at a spa or fitness center can have on lowering stress, easing pain, and easing muscular tension. What you might not know is that by self-massaging or trading massages with loved ones, you can get some of the same advantages at home or at the office.

Try giving yourself a quick massage at your desk in between jobs, on the sofa after a long day, or in bed to help you relax before night. You can use scented lotion or aromatic oils to relax, or you can mix self-massage with mindfulness or deep breathing exercises.
