Does the idea of another hectic work week leave you with a headache? Relieve some of the tension by giving yourself a 5-minute head massage. Begin by dimming the lights and laying down. Apply a dime-sized amount of lotion onto your palms. Choose a lotion with cooling ingredients that also contain circulation-boosting properities, such as peppermint. Place palms on temples and slowly rotate your hands in a circular motion for a few minutes. Then, cup your forehead, along your hairline; lightly, press upwards on the crown and repeat. Lastly, draw your fingers lightly through the hair several times. Feel more relaxed?
