Words of Wellness

July 24th is National Self-Care Day. Let's Celebrate!

July 24th is National Self-Care Day. Let's Celebrate!

The Elements Massage® brand gets it: life is busy, and it only seems to get busier by the day. It’s easy to put your self-care routine to the bottom of your to-do list. Reminders that everyone needs to prioritize their own well being are vital, and there’s no better time than National Self-Care Day—July 24th— to remember that prioritizing your own well-being is an important part of wellness.

Elements Massage studios are here to help you feel your best, all year round. This July, come celebrate a full month of self-care and enjoy the benefits that come with routine massage therapy sessions.

Diving into a full self-care routine can feel overwhelming, and you may be unsure of where to start. Here, let’s explore some easy-to-implement (really) self-care tips that can help you center, de-stress, and unwind.

Skin Care

Introducing Skin Therapy, a line of therapeutic facials and other skin treatments
designed to create your healthiest, happiest skin. Now available at participating Elements Massage studios!

When you look great, you feel great, and taking care of your body’s largest organ—your skin—is a fantastic place to start when it comes to self-care. Your skin works hard to protect your body from bacteria and environmental hazards, and treating it right helps keep you healthy.

While skin care is vital for keeping germs out of your body, it isn’t just about physical health. If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about your skin, or like you didn’t want to be seen due to breakouts, you’re not alone. Research shows that skin issues can make it harder to feel confident. Taking control of the face you present to the world is a small way that you can begin the process of taking control of other facets of self-care.

Some simple ways to start including skin care in your daily routine include:

  • If you wear makeup, remove it when you get home for the day using a gentle microfiber cloth. Doing this right away takes away the temptation to fall asleep with an unclean face.
  • Make sunscreen a part of your daily routine. Forget about getting a sun-kissed glow—when you keep up with your self-care, you’ll shine from the inside out. Even the best sunscreen can’t do its job if you’re not using it correctly, so be sure to use at least a nickel-sized amount of sunscreen to fully cover your face.
  • Make moisturizing a part of your routine. Get in the habit of using a moisturizer that works well for your skin, and make a point to load up on hydration every time you finish washing your face.

Mental Health

Your mind is a part of your body, but all too often, mental health issues are swept under the rug. Taking care of yourself includes taking care of your mind, and this month is the perfect time to start prioritizing your mental well-being. Taking time to relax, center, and get support (if you need it) is vital to feeling your best.

Some easy ways to incorporate mental health self-care strategies include:

  • Start a mindfulness practice. There’s no need to attend an hour-long hot yoga class (unless that’s your thing!) to get the benefits of a mindfulness practice. Simply taking five minutes to journal or listen to a guided meditation can provide you with the centered, peaceful feeling that you need to conquer your day.
  • Schedule a massage. Getting regular massages doesn’t just feel great for your body—it can also work wonders for your mental health. Massage can lower the amount of cortisol (a stress hormone) in your body, and increase serotonin (a mood-boosting chemical). Many people feel more relaxed and calm after a massage. Your massage therapist can work with you to create a plan to help you keep feeling rested and refreshed, no matter what life throws your way.
  • Reach out for help when you need it. Reaching out for help can mean leaning on trusted friends or family members to support your well-being, talking to a mental health professional to get support creating new stress management techniques, or becoming more active in your community.

Healthy Movement

When you move, you may feel better—but it can be tough to get started when you aren’t in a solid exercise routine. Finding small ways to increase your movement is a smart way to start without getting overwhelmed.

Some easy ways to get more movement into your daily routine include:

  • Start your day with a five minute walk. There’s something to be said for knocking healthy behaviors out of the way first thing in the morning. Taking a five minute morning walk to focus your intentions for the day (bonus points if you leave your phone at home) can set the stage for continued healthy behaviors.
  • Incorporate yoga into your mindfulness practice. There’s a reason you feel so great after practicing yoga, and taking five minutes to go through a relaxing flow before bed can help you get your best sleep.
  • Act like a kid again. Exercise should be fun, and connecting with others can help to make movement more enjoyable. Chasing after your kids or grandkids, walking your dog (or your neighbor’s dog!) or signing up to walk a 5K can all be fun ways to enjoy your community while you forget that you’re getting a good sweat.
  • When you’re working to find ways to incorporate movement into your daily routine, pay attention to what feels best for you—the best kind of exercise routine is the one that you’ll be able to stick to.
