I am curious how often you treat yourself to a massage or other self care?

I'm all about self-care! As a trained dancer and massage therapist, I am doing massage therapy for myself all the time, which prevents injuries, speeds recovery, and keeps me in touch with my health. I advocate as many self-care habits as possible, for a rich life, full of vitality! and wrote a book about it - FEEL LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN - how to heal and recover from injury, surgery & illness - self -renewal methods to increase circulation. #SelfCareisFirst

I prefer to trade massage massages with other professionals at least one or two times per month. My preferred modalities include Nuad Thai, Neuromuscular, or Myofascial Massage although I like to try new modalities from time to time.

As for other types of self-care, I try to move my body as much as possible. Currently, I practice Acroyoga at least 3-4 times per week for a minimum of two hours per session with other forms of strength training. Weather permitting, I rock climb outdoors. As much a possible I try to cook for myself using fresh ingredients and a variety of colors.

A good philosophy that I have adopted from Ayurveda is "Moderation and Balance." If I feel that I have been in excess in an area of life, I will try to find balance. If I feel that I am lacking in an area, I try to find balance.
