I used to think a massage was the very definition of luxury. I only very occasionally allowed myself that selfish pampering moment.
Until I started my research for 365 Smiles on how to make other people feel good.
To my surprise, I learned, it all starts with yourself. You can only inspire others and give them a smile if you first make yourself happy.
By always putting others first and denying yourself so called ‘selfish’ pleasures, in the long run you’ll walk around frustrated, you don’t shine anymore and you won’t be able to make others happy.
You want to make the world a little happier? Then make sure your schedule includes enough time pampering yourself. With a massage for example.
Tip for today
Be kind to the world and book yourself a massage.
By the way, massages are not only for pleasure, they are a necessity for your health (except in some exceptional cases).
A massage wil give you:
- Reduction of stress and improvement of your mood
- Reduction of pain (eg headaches), muscle pain and muscle tension (for example, massage can counteract the imbalance in your body by sitting too much)
- Better sleep
- Decrease of heart rate and blood pressure
- Improvement of blood circulation, energy and alertness
- Improvement of your immune system
So if you want more energy, to be smarter, and to be better armed against all kinds of pandemics that are lurking, book your massage soon (and regularly).
