This is pure pleasure and accomplishes so much at once. Taking a bath gives you "me" time and forces you to stop doing anything productive and just relax. Bring a book to inspire you to soak for longer. Put a few drops of lavender oil in the bath. Lavender oil helps boost brain levels of the feel-good chemicals dopamine and serotonin. No time for a bath? Ask your mate to give you a quick massage. Ear massage : The ear's outer rims contain acupressure points that help release the muscles of the face and the body. Start by applying light pressure to the earlobes using the thumb and index finger. Then, rub as you move up the outer rim of the ear to the top. Apply gentle pressure and then work back down for a total of 1-2 minutes.
Forehead rub: In between your eyebrows is an acupressure point connected to your pineal gland, which is responsible for the production of melatonin. Start by placing gentle pressure right between the eyebrows, then move toward the middle of the brow, pulling the fingers along the eyebrows. Repeat for 2-3 minutes.
