As you finish your work at the end of the week, you long for a comforting and relaxing massage. You can almost feel the tension on your shoulders and back from the consistent flow of incoming work to be done. Amidst your efforts of trying to finish them and find time for yourself, you can’t seem to find it. Somehow, something more important than relaxing and unwinding comes up, thereby forgetting that one time of self-indulgence.

“When can I go to my favorite spa?” This question runs over and over your head that it makes you irritable at times. This is true for most career-oriented men and women who, at the same time raise a family of growing kids. It is quite normal for you to feel like you cannot find time for yourself anymore. Weekdays, you work until the clock says time to go home. At home, the kids needs help with their homework, teenager-talk, family-bonding time, dinner preparation, laundry and much more – these things blocked your chance for any plans of leisure and comfort at that health club. The weekend always seem filled with activities that will not go well without your presence – like family day event of your grade school kids, house-cleaning, tending the lawn and so on and so forth. All you can do is sigh.

But hey, you manage to take a bath right before you sleep, as well as before you go to work, right? Even during the weekends, when you know you have to accomplish many things, you wake up earlier to have your bath. Did you know that this simple, everyday activity is an opportunity for you to enjoy some amount of pampering? And mind you, this comes without the feeling of guilt unlike going to your health club for some aromatherapy massage despite your kids’ request for your presence at his baseball game. How?

Definitely, you cannot bring nor call a masseur for home service. That would also mean the kids will not disturb you for sometime, which defeats the purpose of being with them during weekends. Let’s not discount the possibility of them, still knocking and needing something despite instructions not to. Well, it’s weekend – they know it’s parent’s time for them.

With the aid of scented candles, as you immerse in your bath tub soak, you are succumbing to quality amounts of self-indulgence. Aromatherapy coupled with massage is what you pay for at your health club. Well, you may not be able to get that massage, but the scents that you fill the bathroom will be enough to revive the tired muscles and nerves from pent-up work stress.

The simple joys of smelling relaxing fragrances comforts the brain, which in turn, dilates the blood vessels, thus increasing blood flow to those tensed muscles. These physiological changes in turn helps an individual to ready himself for the coming days of work and parental responsibilities. When your body and mind feels relaxed, more ideas are easily generated as well as provide clarity in managing your time and resources. So, the next time you do your grocery, grab some of those scented candles and look forward to pampering later.
