Do you ever get tired of self-care advice? With how much of it is out there, you may be under the assumption that if you’re not pampering yourself 24/7, you’re not living a healthy lifestyle. Of course, this is a faulty impression, as self-care is best managed when we really do need it. It’s why a soak in the bath is just so much better after a hard day of work, or after exercising in the gym.
Moreover, self-care advice, while necessary, tends to be quite focused on the same practices. Pamper your skincare, go to bed early, read when you can, and perhaps treat yourself with a scented candle. Odds are, you do all of that when you can anyway.
So, what about self-care tips that you might not have tried yet? Going out of your way to explore novelty while also pampering your comfort can be a fun and comforting experience at the same time, and aren’t those the memories we tend to cherish? Without further ado, let’s consider some wonderful experiences:
Head To That Rage Room
Rage rooms might not seem like the most comfortable element of self-care, and they’re not. However, they’ve become all the rage in recent years, pun intended. That’s because having a safe space to get out your frustrations, usually harmlessly swinging a bat in a controlled space with safety gear and worthless furniture can give you the space to get out your frustrations and feel so much better. You don’t need to be a dour or frustrated person to see the benefits, because there are many small irritations and stresses that come as part of even a healthy life. Moreover, it’s a novelty you can enjoy with your friends, so you get to blow off some steam in a fun way and share a memory later down the line.
Take A Foot Spa
Heading to the Foot Palace spa can be a rejuvenating experience, because while you might enjoy massages on occasion or even head to luxurious spa retreats, it’s rare that our feet get so much attention. But they deserve it, because after all, they carry us wherever we go. Treating the skin, enjoying a massage to remove stress, and simply enjoying attention in a place we might rarely forget about except when scrubbing them in the shower, all of this can have a positive effect. It’s also a novel experience you don’t have to miss.
Try A Reiki Massage
Reiki is more of a spiritual and holistic treatment, and you get to decide how much you buy into the claims made. Some say it’s as healthy as having positive “spiritual surgery,” some just believe it’s a comfortable space to relax in, with a practitioner paying attention to you through a variety of methods. For example, they might use hand-hovering techniques to relax you, incorporate massage, create a nice environment, and enjoy a popular Japanese therapy. It can be a nice change to the usual massage spa you may have, and it also has cultural validity to it.
With this advice, you’re sure to try the self-care efforts you haven’t attempted yet.
