Make 2025 Your Year of Relaxation
When was the last time you set intentions for relaxation, self-care, and your overall wellbeing? Perhaps it was the start of the year which is a common time for us all to be thinking what we want the year to look like. But the start of the year has been and gone and we get it, life is busy. There's work, family, and responsibilities to think about so it’s easy to put ourselves last. But let's make a promise that for the rest of this year, we change that and make 2025 your year of relaxation, balance, and true self-care.
Relaxation isn’t a luxury. We're rewriting the narrative on that and making it a necessity. When we prioritise rest, de-stress, and support our bodies, we feel better, sleep better, and move through life so much happier and with more ease. Here are some ways we think are the perfect way to bring more relaxation into your life this year.
Book Regular Reflexology Treatments
Okay, maybe we're a little biased but trust us that reflexology is one of the best ways to let your body melt into complete relaxation. Reflexology works by stimulating pressure points on the feet that correspond to different areas of the body, helping to:
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve sleep quality
- Ease tension and promote circulation
If you’re new to reflexology, 2025 is the perfect time to try it! Your body (and mind) will thank you.
Release Tension with Massage Therapy
We carry so much tension in our bodies, whether it’s from work stress, exercise, or just the day-to-day grind. Regular massage therapy can help release those tight muscles, improve your circulation, and leave you feeling completely relaxed.
At ABWR, we offer a number of massage and relaxation therapies including:
- Swedish Massage – for deep relaxation and stress relief
- Sports Massage Therapy – perfect for muscle recovery and pain relief
- KCR Therapy (Kinetic Chain Release) – a powerful treatment for restoring balance and mobility in the body
A massage doesn't need to be thought of as a treat. You can make it part of monthly self-care and relaxation.
Create a Daily Relaxation Ritual
Relaxation doesn’t just have to happen during a treatment. It’s something you can weave into your daily lives by incorporating new habits one by one. Here are some small but powerful ways to create a sense of calm every day:
- Morning Ritual – Start your day with a cup of herbal tea, deep breathing, or light stretching
- Evening Wind-Down – Swap screen time for a good book or journaling before bed
- Mindful Movement – A gentle walk, yoga, or meditation can do wonders for your stress levels
- Essential Oils & Self-Massage – A few drops of lavender oil on your pillow or a DIY hand massage can instantly help you unwind. We particularly love using the oils by Solasta Skin which we're proud to stock in the ABWR shop.
Make More Time for You
In 2025, can we all set the intention to stop running on empty and start making self-care more of a priority? Whether it’s booking regular treatments, setting healthy boundaries, or just finding a peaceful 5 minutes in our day. 2025 is the year of making relaxation a non-negotiable part of your routine.
And of course, we're always on hand to help make it happen! You can find us in the beautiful little village of Chapelton where we have people coming from all over Aberdeenshire to visit us. You can contact us here with any questions or go straight ahead and book in for a reflexology session, massage, or KCR therapy here. We can't wait to support you on the road to more relaxation this year.
