Need a quick moment of bliss? Give your hands and feet a little TLC. Even a few minutes can help ease tension, soothe sore muscles, and boost your mood.
Warm Them Up – Soak your hands or feet in warm water for a minute or two to loosen stiff joints.
Find the Right Pressure – Use your thumbs to make small circles or gentle strokes without pressing too hard.
Focus on Key Spots – Hands: That fleshy spot between your thumb and index finger tends to hold a lot of tension. Massage each finger, too! Feet: Pay special attention to the arch and the ball of your foot, as they carry plenty of stress.
Add a Soothing Touch – A dab of lotion or oil can work wonders, reducing friction and adding a spa-like vibe. Scented oils can up the relaxation factor.
Breathe and Relax – Take slow, deep breaths while you massage to stay present and feel the calming effects.
