As I can feel the fall creeping in, it’s reminding me that I have to start to get conscious of the ways that I need to take care of myself in the next several months.  Winter is not my favorite time, and I get a little moody.  Whatever I can do to stay warm and happy is important!!
Luckily, I just got an email today from Inman Oasis, a local business in Cambridge.   My boyfriend and I started going there in the winter because they have some great hot tubs that you can soak in.  This month they have a special on their Frequent Soaker card, so i’m going to grab one in anticipation of the colder weather.

How about getting a massage now and then?   I’m happy to recommend my massage therapist in Cambridge – just email me!  A professional massage is an amazing experience, but you can also consider doing it yourself.   Use pure organic massage oil for your self-massage (or partner massage).  Just a few minutes can really make a difference!   Take a shower before or after and then take a nap after your massage!

Finally, in this season of colds, break out your neti pot!   Neti has been shown to dramatically help with sinus infections, and with lessening the effects of the common cold.  Whole Foods and natural foods stores usually carry neti pots.  Additionally, gargling with warm salt water can really help keep the bugs at bay.

My final goal each winter is to plan to go away to a warmer place.  I’m taking suggestions as to where we should go this year! 

Thinking about how good I feel after I take care of myself in these ways almost makes me look forward to the wintertime.  Almost 🙂

How are you taking care of yourself?   Let me know what we should add to the list. 

Love and light,

Barrettt
