Self Care for Men

Male-Self-Care-5ca4c47114bba

Men work hard. Day in and day out they leave the home, slay dragons, and come home after a long day in the world. Oftentimes, men just want to relax in front of the TV with football and a cold beer. However, men need special treatment just like women do, and self care for men is just as important in order to rejuvenate and have the energy to continue to chase those dragons. Inner Beauty Concepts in Nashua is a day spa that will leave men feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Below, we’ll explore some of the reasons why men need self care as much as women do and how Inner Beauty Concepts in Nashua can help with men’s spa treatments. Contact us today!

WHY MEN NEED SELF CARE

Self care by definition is engaging in an activity that promotes your overall health and well-being. Self care can be anything that speaks to you, from running around the lake, to relaxing for a day on the couch with football, to having a drink at the local hangout. Taking the time to care for yourself is something many Americans (especially men) find hard to do. Americans in general feel like they need to work harder, do more, make more money, always be doing something, and have a house with a white picket fence and 2.5 kids. Because if you don’t, you’ll somehow be considered a failure or lazy.

Self care is not this at all. Self care is about taking those time-out moments from life to rejuvenate and recharge in order to have the wherewithal to attack again. Self care can provide the following benefits:

  • Improves your overall physical and mental health and well-being
  • Decreases stress
  • Allows your brain to rest, so it can focus better
  • Increases creativity and performance
  • Results in more ah-ha moments
  • Solves problems
  • Allows you time to self-reflect
  • Helps with decision-making

SELF CARE IDEAS FOR MEN

  1. Exercise. Exercise releases endorphins, which are the feel good chemicals in your body. It also is a great way to release tension, stress, and frustrations. There’s nothing better than lifting heavy weights at the end of the day to forget about your annoying work colleague. Furthermore, exercise will help you get in shape, which is important to your overall health and well-being and improves your self-confidence so you’ll feel better about yourself.
  2. Eat nutritious food. Healthy, well-balanced, home-cooked meals not only satisfy your hunger feelings, but also satisfies your body by giving it fuel to get through your long days.
  3. Read. Whether you like fiction to escape the reality of today’s world, or you love non-fiction to learn how trains work, reading relaxes the mind and engages your imagination, renewing your faith that anything is possible in this world.
  4. Invest in massage therapy. Tension collects in your muscles, neck, and shoulders that can give you headaches and make you feel tight overall. Inner Beauty Concepts offers a variety of massage therapy to relieve your body of stress and tension and help with any muscle or joint pain you may be experiencing. One of our spa treatments includes Hot Cold Stone massage therapy that uses the power of heat to stimulate circulation and increase blood flow, which can further loosening joints, tendons, tissues, and muscles.
  5. Rest. Sleep is so important in order to heal damaged tissues, process thoughts from the day, and allow your body to rejuvenate. Naps are great ways to sneak in extra sleep time (especially on the weekend) if you’ve had a late night.
  6. Get a shave. Having someone else do your hair or shave for you is relaxing, soothing, and overall just nice. Visiting a salon for a spa treatment or the barber for a professional hair cut and shave is a great way to sneak in some relaxation time while emerging looking good.
  7. Spend time in nature. Going for a walk, visiting a lake, walking on a beach, or hiking on trails on the plains or in the mountains are great ways to relax, get in tune with nature, let your thoughts wander on the sights you see and the sounds you hear, and breathe in some fresh air for clarity and focus.
  8. Journal. Reflecting on your day can be powerful to effect personal development, self growth, and changes in your life. Journaling is a great way to record your accomplishments, celebrate your success, and create goals to strive for. Many action plans are the results of journaling. Record your blessings and gratitudes as well.
  9. Meditate. Meditation is a great way to rid your mind of negative self-talk and gain clarity in thought. Attending church, reading the Bible or other books of religion, and praying are great ways as well to find inner peace and harmony.
  10. Invest in relationships. Having your “guy time” is super important to just chill, talk about work and life with the guys, and have fun together bowling, playing basketball, fishing, or riding ATVs together. Find others with similar passions by joining groups and attending events.
  11. Find a new hobby. As we age, many of us find ourselves looking for something new to try. Painting classes, hiking clubs, pickleball, or a writing group are great ways to try something new, meet new friends, and learn from someone else.
  12. Compete. Let’s face it, who doesn’t like to win? Run a 5k. Get a team together, and do a Spartan race. Join your company’s flag football team or softball team. Join a bowling league. Competition boosts your self confidence, gives you a rush of endorphins, and you gain a sense of accomplishment.
  13. Spend time with the fam. Kids grow so fast that before you know it, you’ll be an empty-nester (even if you don’t believe it today). Make sure you are spending quality time with your kids doing things they enjoy doing. If your son loves sports, play pitch and catch with him in the backyard. If your daughter loves gymnastics, learn handstands (no, you’re not too old). If another child loves to run, run with him or her. If puzzles is your child’s jam, put puzzles together. Creating memories is what parenting is about, so much so than the daily care that is required. Memories is all your child will have one day of you, so make them good!
  14. Learn to say no. Men especially have a lot of demands on them outside of work. Your work colleague needs help moving, so you lend a helping hand. Your neighbor can’t figure out his carburetor, so you help. Your child needs his or her bike fixed. Your cat ran up a tree and can’t get back down. It’s natural to turn to men when something physical needs to be done, and some of the best things in life is helping others. However, there are times when you are physically exhausted and just need to rest on your Sunday afternoon. It’s okay not to attend every social function or event and to say reschedule a mechanical fix for another day.
  15. If you don’t have a pet, get one! There are so many animals that need a home and if you have one to give, consider adopting a pet, especially an old one. It’s a proven fact that pets offer stress relief, companionship, and loyalty, and those with pets tend to live longer and live happier lives. You can make a cat or dog’s last years happy ones.

If you’re suffering from pain, foot reflexology may help. Different than foot massage, foot reflexology is where certain points (known as reflex areas) are stimulated on the foot to affect other areas on the body, helping relieve pain. Gentle pressure is applied on these reflex areas to help remove energy blockages and promote overall health. Combine reflexology with massage for an amazing day of self care.
