We live in a world where avoiding stress is no longer possible; instead, the most important thing is how we manage the stress from being in employment, being stuck in traffic, and generally just being around people.
With stress being identified as the leading cause of illness, it’s becoming increasingly important that we find avenues to relax and unwind. Luckily, we also live in a world where feel-good treatments and activities are available in abundance.
Here are 7 suggestions for your daily dose of good feels:
Monday: TRX

The first day of the week is often filled with dread and stress, so an intense workout is a good idea – specifically, a workout developed by the NAVY SEALs.
TRX is a form of bodyweight exercise involving the use of suspension straps. The workout combines cardio with strength training and helps develop balance, flexibility, and core stability.
Tuesday: Mud bath

While the thought of sitting in a tub full of mud can be off-putting, mud baths can help relieve muscle and joint aches from that intense TRX session you had the previous day. Plus, volcanic ash in the mud can help remove dead skin cells.
Wednesday: Hot yoga

Essentially yoga but practiced in a heated room to increase metabolism and heart rate. Hot yoga is great for weight loss and removing toxins from your body, and, as any fitness buff will tell you, sweating will make you feel better after a stressful sedentary day.
Thursday: Hammam bath

Hammam bath, also known as Turkish bath, is a bath ritual consisting of relaxing in a warm dry air room, full body wash, and massage.
In addition to relaxing your mind, hammam bath also helps nourish and rehydrate skin, improve skin texture, and soothe muscle tension.
Friday: Aerial yoga

Phew, Friday is finally here! Rather than walking around aimlessly in a mall you’ve already visited a thousand and one times, opt for something challenging but fun like aerial yoga instead.
With the help of a hammock as support, aerial yoga helps practitioners pull off advanced poses with more ease while increasing flexibility, core strength, and muscle definition.
Saturday: Massage, mani-pedi, and hair treatment

Saturdays are for treating yourself to a good massage that not only relaxes your overworked muscles but also improves your body’s blood circulation.
Feel good? Great! Now time to look just as good as you feel. Pamper yourself with a manicure and pedicure, and a hair treatment.
Sunday: Relax in the comfort of your own home

Time to wind down in the comfort of your own home and prepare to do everything all over again. Luckily, you don’t have to travel far from home to enjoy the activities that you love.
