Item Number 12: Get a Professional Massage

December 16, 2009

When I made my list, I wanted to include items of all “difficulty” levels. You would think that getting a professional massage would be one of the easiest items on that list. You’d think, upon gazing at my list, that I would have just hopped on down to one of San Francisco’s myriad massage centers and checked it off immediately. You’d think that, wouldn’t you?

But no. I did not do that. I thought to myself, “Oh, that will be a perfect thing to accomplish in the final weeks of my 30-before-30 project.”

And people, this is why we have friends. They give us the opportunity to take care of ourselves when we stubbornly refuse to do it.

On my birthday morning, I awoke to an email from True Massage and Wellness. It said that someone who loved me had gotten me a gift certificate: Sizzle! I could not believe it. I was so excited. I’m pretty sure I screamed.

So, last night I used my gift certificate.

I need a moment.

It was the SINGLE GREATEST HOUR of my life, people. If you have never done this, GO. GO NOW.

Thanks again to Miss Sizzle for making it happen! YOU ROCK, LADY!

    I am so so SO so glad you had a great massage! I truly think it is one of the best ways we can take care of ourselves. I hope you get another and NOT in 30 more years. You hear me? ;-)

    I usually get one a month (sometimes two!). I need it to keep my body functioning, since my job is really physically demanding. Standing/running/doing things for 10-14 hours a day can really wear a girl down.

    I have a guy that I go to here in the Cities and I could not keep up the pace of my life without his services. Fer. Reals.

    I’m sooo glad you got to go! Make it a habit — habits can be good, you know?!? :D
