Relax. Get a massage.
Dear Human 💕,
I really enjoy getting massages from you. It’s sooooo realaxing.
You should find another human who can give you a massage.

P.S. There‘s science to back it up!
A massage…
- activities your parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) which is responsible for rest and recovery. The PNS counterbalances the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which is your fight-or-flight alarm system triggered by any perceived danger.
- decrease the levels of your stress hormones (adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine).
- increases all your happy chemicals (endorphins, oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin).
