On Monday I got a massage. A 90 minutes massage. It was heaven. A full hour and a half to think about nothing but my own body, to revel in each blissful moment of being cared for.
Yesterday I got adjusted. I had to find a new chiropractor because mine retired. The master at my dojo recommended someone and I went today. I really liked her. She does some deep tissues work, and electrical nerve simulation before she does the adjustment, which I think helped. My neck, which was a mess, feels much better. I’m excited to run to see if my knee and ankle feel better (I’m very confident they will as my hips felt amazing after she adjusted them). It’s a relief to have a new provider, especially one that is so close to home (my previous chiropractor was near my work). It feels amazing to be in my body right now.
I ran on Monday and I went to martial arts on Tuesday. I’m trying to make space for the things that make me happy. I’m trying to make space for self care. It’s hard, especially at the end of the school year.
I’m still not getting enough sleep. That is the next thing I need to work on.
How are you taking care of yourself these days?
So glad you are doing this. Reducing skeleton discomfort makes a HUGE difference in life in general and massage is super stress reduction action.
You are making really good choices and I am so happy for you.
