Sit down and relax
I just got back from a massage! My company is offering free 15 minute massages to the employees who've spent the past few months working on the big relaunch coming up this weekend. I've gotten massages before, but this one was a chair massage. OMG! I feel like a million bucks right now. Unfortunately I spent the first 8 - 10 minutes trying to relax and get used to a complete stranger within a few of me, let alone actually touching me. But the last 5 - 7 minutes I was relaxed.
There were two therapists doing massages at the same time, so my co-worker I got ours at the same time. When I was done, the therapist told me that I was EXTREMELY tense and that I was really carrying a load in my shoulders. My co-worker's therapist spent the whole time telling her to try and relax, so apparently she was very tense as well. I take this to mean one of two things. Either they're right and I need to figure out a way to afford weekly massages, or they just want to convince us of such so that they can line their pockets. I think it's probably a little of both. Maybe if I sacrifice the $7 per day that I was spending on lunch and use part of that toward a weekly 30-minute massage I can do it! I'm kidding, by the way.
Either way, I'm about to run off to the gym now and workout while my muscles are so relaxed. That may be an odd thing to do after a massage, but if I don't do it now I won't do it at all today.
