CHANGE NUMBER FOUR: TOUCHING MYSELF

This sounds much kinkier than I intended, but it comes from something easy I tried this morning. I gave myself a 20 minute leg, arm, neck and shoulder massage. I have a lot of places in my body that hurt to touch, but as I worked through them (especially my legs) the pain dissipated. I also worked on the bottom of my spine, on either side, digging in with my thumbs. I remember reading somewhere that you are supposed to go towards the heart, so I tried that and I really worked all the muscles I could reach. And, for once, I remembered to breathe and did so at every place that held even the slightest tension. Then I took a REALLY hot shower.

RESULT

I got energized really early, earlier than normal. I wonder if I can do this a couple of times a week - it made a difference in my day.
