What better day than this to have a list of recovery gifts we can give ourselves?
1. Nap. For best results, keep naps to about half an hour.
2. Massage.
3. Bath. Bonus points for Epsom salts and whatever else makes it relaxing.
4. Foam rolling. Cheaper than massage and we can do it any time!
5. Yoga/Pilates/stretching. This is the kind of movement that is restorative.
6. Meditation. Reduces stress and improves focus and sleep.
7. Water. Yep. We need lots.
8. Snacks. Ideally a protein snack, like maybe some nuts.
9. Walk around the block. Nothing too intense. Just a little outside time with gentle movement.
10. Hugs. Human contact is good for us.
11. Make something. Creativity restores our brains.
12. Your favorite thing.
