And I have to say I thoroughly approve of your excellent regime of pampering for therapeutic reasons!<br /><br />I'm not quite as regular about it as you are but I do go to my myotherapist regularly and get the kinks massaged out. I always come out feeling lovely and relaxed, though I confess it's sometimes a bit torturous while she finding those sore spots!Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-45308156536982329482014-08-02T08:06:55.574+10:002014-08-02T08:06:55.574+10:00Lyn, I think I did hit breaking point yesterday wh...Lyn, I think I did hit breaking point yesterday when I totally forgot to teach the class I was scheduled for! I teach English at an all girls school and for some reason I just forgot that class was scheduled. The little minxes didn't come and find me in my office either! Isn't the gym great? It's another thing that's fallen by the wayside for me but I definitely know what you mean about coming out smiling after a session.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901406136963950025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-11446726298114122282014-08-02T08:03:58.739+10:002014-08-02T08:03:58.739+10:00Warmth, lying down, the ability to include a book ...Warmth, lying down, the ability to include a book to read—baths are definitely on the top of my list too, Annie.

I must chat to you about Zumba, though I fear there aren't too many lying down moves :/ And I didn't know you meditated. Must talk to you about that too. It's always one of those things that I keep meaning to start.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901406136963950025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-42961001024737933882014-08-02T08:00:36.048+10:002014-08-02T08:00:36.048+10:00I sure did, Michelle!

I know you do yoga too which is also on my list of things to try but I'd have to check out how many lying down poses there were for me to be convinced ;) I love anything aromatherapy too.

Yes, reading is the ultimate relaxation for me too, but at the moment I don't seem to be able to keep my eyes open, hence the attraction to lying down ;) Sometimes it's hard to make time but oh, so important.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16901406136963950025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-57382891932991668092014-08-01T16:28:27.572+10:002014-08-01T16:28:27.572+10:00Wow!

The other useful thing, that I'm trying to get back into the swing of is regular gym sessions. I've found even if I'm tired and sore when I go in, I always come out smiling (even if the pain hasn't disappeared).Lynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-4923499480549923362014-08-01T13:38:57.685+10:002014-08-01T13:38:57.685+10:00Wow, you have so much going on!

I hope you make all deadlines, including the conference ones.<br /><br />For me, that stress less time is usually a long bath on a winter's evening. Sigh. Just so relaxing.

It's so important to care of yourself, especially when so many rely on you taking care of them.<br />I like to take time out too- probably way more than I should! I have my daily exercise class (usually zumba but not always)…then I like coffee with friends (NOT every day but once a week). Then there's 20 minutes meditation, which i try to do every day but usually manage a few times a week. If I didn't do those things I'd go mad!Louisa Georgehttp://www.louisageorge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-29218658491835571612014-08-01T12:10:25.646+10:002014-08-01T12:10:25.646+10:00It sounds as if you got value for money from your ...It sounds as if you got value for money from your facial, Barb! I really, really want to find a place that does gorgeous aromatherapy massages (rather than that awful shiatsu massage which is SO NOT relaxing). In fact, would rather love to skive off today and do precisely that.
