Resolutions 101

You can't escape it, it's that time of year...the time when people make resolutions. Eat better, eat less, exercise, organize, sleep more, watch less tv, read more, spend more time with family...it's an endless list of possibilities all designed to somehow improve our lives. And surely, all of these changes are positive. The problem lies in our difficulty following through with our intentions.  
In a perfect world, we would find a resolution that would be easy to keep. A resolution that does not make us sweat or feel deprived; something that makes us healthier and feels good at the same time. After very little thought...smile, i have discovered the perfect resolution: massage. Massage inherently improves our circulation, carrying oxygen to every cell of our body. It improves immune system function, making us less likely to contract colds and viruses. It improves the quality of our muscles and the movement of our joints. It decreases the production of stress hormones thus increasing relaxation and decreasing stress. 
Anyway you slice it, massage is not only good for your body and spirit, it is painless and by all accounts a wonderful step on the road to wellness.
This year, make regular massage one of your resolutions. Renew Bodywork Center for Wellness is conveniently located on Howard Street in Watertown. Check out our website atwww.renewbodywork.net  and make an appointment today.
