5 Ways A Massage Can Help Relieve Holiday Stress
The holidays can be the most wonderful time of the year, but they can also be one of the most stressful as well. Worrying about getting gifts, seeing family, and planning meals can all come together to create the perfect storm of stress. Luckily, our Staten Island spa has got you covered with getting back to making this holiday season truly wonderful again.
It Helps Keep You Warm
Everyone here in Staten Island knows how cold it can get during the winter season. When that cold temperature starts rolling in, it can be helpful to have your blood circulating as it should. Getting a massage promotes blow flow throughout your entire body which in turn makes you warmer on a regular basis. Allowing yourself to be warmer when you go outside gives you less time to think about how cold it is, and more time to plan whatever you have for the holidays.
It Reduces Muscle Stiffness
We hold a lot of stress in our muscles. Relieving that stress can play a big role in allowing you to completely relax. When you are relaxed you can take more time for yourself and take control of any of the situations that you may find stressful during the holidays. When you are at your most stressed it can oftentimes be hard to focus on all the tasks at hand, which creates a snowball effect of even more stress about why you can’t focus (causing the stress to compound) A massage can instantly help relieve all of that in just a single hour.
It Helps You Feel More Awake
Exhaustion and fatigue can often be a huge problem around the holiday season. After juggling so many responsibilities on a regular basis, you may be losing out on the sleep that you need to recharge. A massage helps promote more blood flow which can help when it comes to not only reducing fatigue on a regular basis but also allowing you to get better sleep. When you are worrying less about the tension in your back, your body can shut off and allow you to get the full hours that you need. This leaves you being more alert and able to go after those holiday projects that you may have been putting off until now.
It Helps Regulate Your Emotions
Dealing with family can sometimes be a headache, and adding your everyday stress on top of that can be a recipe for disaster. Allowing yourself to get some “you” time at a massage will make dealing with your family a breeze because you will be able to relax and focus on your emotions, rather than blowing up on them.
It Helps You Maintain Your Weight
Between the eggnog and the turkey, it’s no wonder so many people gain weight over the holidays. When you are stressed, you may be finding yourself reaching for more turkey than you normally would. Getting a massage not only relieves that stress but it also promotes a healthier digestive system. Having a healthier digestive systems leaves you gaining less weight from all of that fatty food.
