Last week the team at SafeSpace had the pleasure of visiting Tranquility Massage and Bodywork Inc. We preach to our clients about the importance of self-care, and we practice what we preach here at SafeSpace. We made the decision to celebrate our holiday party after the holidays because we know how stressful they can be, so we thought it would be good for us to have a relaxing spa day after the chaos of the holiday season.

Our team got massages, reflexology and spent time together in the salt room. We had many giggles in the salt room and we enjoyed being able to connect on a more personal level with each other.

A big thank you for Tranquility Massage & Bodywork for giving us a day of relaxation and fun, we will be back :)

Physical pain can feel temporary, less painful.

Mental pain hurts and it can hurt often. Often it can feel like you cannot escape your mind, therefor unable to escape the pain it has caused you.

But here's your reminder that it is temporary. It may feel like there is no end in sight but we so often look back and realize how quickly time goes by. Which means this pain, this temporary pain, will go by quickly too.

And if you feel like you're in a constant state of mental pain? That is when you look into the support of a professional to support you through the tough time you're enduring. On top of mental pain being painful, being alone as you navigate can emphasize that pain.

Call someone. A friend, a family member, a professional. While no one can do the work for you to overcome this tough time, support can make it a lost easier to manage.

Therapy can be challenging at times. The point of therapy isn't to tell you what you want to hear but to support you through the good and the bad, the ups and the downs.

We cannot grow if we do not know where we are forgetting to water. Maybe your lack of self care or difficulty with communication has resulted in irritability, hurting your loved ones' feelings. This is what therapists can help you with, by pointing out areas where you can grow and do better.

Your brain is a bully and we've said it before, its thoughts are not always factual. So you may feel worry or concern over something but it is not your body's stress to carry.

Your brain and body deserve freedom from the stress and anxiety your brain may have.

Even when things seem bleak and you question how much worse it could get, take a moment.

In the darkest of nights a star will still shine, in the heaviest of rains a rainbow can still appear and in the deepest of seas there is still life. Take a moment and focus on one good thing, no matter how small.

You may only have gratitude for something small, like not having to cook dinner tonight or having enough change in your wallet to pay the exact amount for your gas. It doesn't have to be an over-the-top thing that you are grateful for.

For many of us it is scary to leap without knowing where we may land. But life is not so simple, there is no book to tell us our future and every step we will take.

So you must take the first step, though you do not know the journey it will take you on, because if you don't you risk missing incredible opportunities.
