For those of you following along with me here.... How do you guys "amplify" your rest. I just got done having deep tissue work done over the weekend and I've got some chiropractic work scheduled for tomorrow. These plus making sure I get 8 hrs of sleep and taking in the meal on clockwork are how I do it. How about you guys?

I WISH I could afford massages on a regular basis. I just try to get a good nights sleep in, and always get a nap in the afternoon.

Dig this - when I lived abroad in Philippines, I would stop an get a massage after the gym about 3x a week. The price? 150 pesos for an hour - that's $3! :eek: I would always throw the girl a $5 tip, which they thought was a crazy big tip. No happy endings since I was married, but I WAS tempted haha. :D

That's frikin awesome.... I can only imagine what 3 massages a week could do for me. They are pretty expensive here though. i usually pay $60 for an hour so i try to get in at least once a month and have one done.
