June 13 - Slowing Down

Day 164 of a year of Kindness

I got a massage.I found out this week that I’ll be in a boot all summer and then need surgery on my ankle. That means I need to slow down, which isn’t my favorite speed. I gave in and booked a massage, which helped me so much. It was a kindness for myself.

Science of kindness: Research shows that the number one benefit of massage is stress-relief. It lowers stress and encourages relaxation. It has a great impact on the nervous system lowering the stress hormones and increasing good neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin. #bekind #kindnessiscontagious #kindnessisfree #kindness #massagetherapy
