Something to remember. Going throughout our busy hectic not-enough-time-in-the-day days, we tend to forget about something very important, UNWINDING. Some say they don't have "time to be lazy" and can't unwind. Well, if you never "unwind" you will reduce your productivity durring the day and can cause some serious health issues. Not only can stress and being over worked wear on you mentaly, but it also wears on you physicaly. Never allowing your body and mind to unwind can cause things like stress induced food allergies, you could become more suseptable to illness, anxiety, headaches, change in mood/personality, digestive tract problems (gastrointestinal motility, etc), and many other things. Guys, letting yourself unwind has to be done away from "electronic entertainment" (TV, phones, ipods, ipads, laptops, etc). Your eyes need time to rest, especially if you have a computer desk job already. Also, letting your body unwind does not mean keeping yourself entertained, your mind needs quiet every once in a while, and no, sleeping does not count. Sorry, I'm ranting. Find a calm hobby away from the computer or tv (readings, sewing, writing, walking, painting, etc.) But two things, one in particular, will help you unwind and relieve stress; hand massages and foot messages. The foot has over 70,000 nerve endings with trigger points that correlate to the whole body. Most of us spend a larger part of the day on our feet.
Massaging tired aching feet almost always relaxes and relieves the aches and pains and helps ease your tension, pain and other ailments. So it's quite the gift to give your hubby or wife a foot massage. HINT: If your significant other is having a bad day and in a horrible mood, give them a foot massage.
That was a lot of babble, but I'm sure you got the point.

Wow, I guess I should have been doing alot more of this. Well, it is never too late right? I am going to start giving Dad foot massages as often as possible!
