Let’s be real, life can feel scarier than any haunted house when we don’t make time for ourselves. Some people fight off the spooky-season stress with horror movies and too much candy corn… but we’re more into care that actually brings us back to balance.

This week is all about action: What’s the one thing that reliably helps you reset?

-Is it sneaking in a float between work and errands?
-Booking a massage before your shoulders fully turn to stone?
-Or maybe just a hot bath, a walk around the block, or five minutes of deep breathing before you answer one more email?

Self-care doesn’t have to be fancy or perfect; it’s about finding the realistic ways you can make time to care for yourself. This week, we challenge you to take action and commit to your reliable self-care practice.

1. Share your go-to reset in the comments

First, a big thank you to everyone who shared their intentions last week! It’s been so inspiring to read how you’re leaning into self-care this Fall. Now we’re moving into Week 2, and this one’s all about reflection and ritual. Self-care isn’t just something we squeeze in; it’s a ritual. A moment carved out to reset and return to yourself.

This week, we invite you to pause and reflect:

- How did you feel after your last float?
-What small rituals help you reset? For example, a cup of tea before bed, writing a few pages in your journal, or monthly floats.

Let’s keep this challenge flowing! Together, we’re creating a season filled with rest, reflection, and rituals that nourish.

In times when the noise feels loud, when the truth feels tangled, and our city is misunderstood, it’s more important than ever to find stillness. Float therapy offers a space to quiet the chaos, release tension, and reconnect with your center. When we take care of our nervous systems, we show up stronger, clearer, and more compassionate for our community and for our Democracy.

Portland has always been rooted in care, creativity, and resilience. Let’s keep showing the world who we really are: balanced, peaceful, and united. Book your next float today at FloatNorth.com

“I don’t have time.”
“I should save floating for a special occasion.”
“I’ll book once life calms down.” (FYI, it never does).

We hear ya… but let’s be real, your brain deserves a timeout more than your phone charger does. Float therapy isn’t a luxury, it’s the reset button you’ve been making excuses to avoid. No excuses needed, just 60 minutes of doing absolutely nothing (and getting everything back). Stop giving yourself an excuse and book your float today.

Fall isn’t just about pumpkin spice and crunchy leaves; it’s about slowing down, letting go, and re-tuning yourself for the season ahead. As trees release their leaves, sound therapy can help you release stress. As the air turns crisp, sound vibrations will help clear the static in your mind. Just like a cozy fire, the tones wrap around you, grounding you in calm. Give sound therapy a try at FloatNorth.com

Our Story

Imagine unpluging from your day in one of the most comfortable environments on earth. You’re temperature is just right, you’re lying down on a bed of salt water, you have control over the lights and music; as you close your eyes you start to feel the day shed from your mind and body. Each float brings you more relaxation and relief.

Float North offers the best massage and floatation therapy in Portland. We tailor each session to your needs and take your goals into account. Are you burnt out from stress? Are you a parent in need of some downtime? Are you an athlete recovering from training or preparing for an event? Are you a creative looking for more flow? Are you looking to improve your meditation practice?

There are so many reasons to combine floatation therapy and bodywork. Come in and experience the results for yourself! We offer Float 101 classes on a weekly basis to introduce you to the float environment and answer any questions you may have.
