When Indulgence Pays
Self help is often painted as a Spartan, self-denial type of approach to life.
Unfortunate, because it really holds the keys to expansive joy.
But yesterday I decided to indulge - in my first professional massage.
Nothing like what I thought it would be, but Ian unearthed all manner of little niggles in shoulders, for instance, that had been irritating rather than even sore.
He suggested a bit more varied exercise, and drinking a lot more water.
Sometimes, self help comes through the expertise of others. Must remember that!
