Hi, Conne.....it's not just looking after yourself when you're not well.....though that can be done too....
When I was massaging I treated lots of people....mainly women....who were full time carers and had so little time to themselves....
A couple of hours in my room.....relaxing, chatting and having a good massage was a way of looking after themselves.....
It's usually telling folk to make sure they don't run themselves into the ground......xx
