Remember when you put your needs before others and did regular self-care? Yeah, we don’t either. Though we wouldn’t trade the world for our kiddos, being a parent takes over mind, body, and soul.
While running to town to get a massage is fun, it requires getting in the car and actually going somewhere, which in and of itself can be taxing. Nothing strips away relaxation like driving through traffic in the metroplex.
Fortunately, there are several ways to unwind in the comfort of your own home. Schedule a playdate with the neighbors for a few hours to get the kids out of the house; put your phone on silent; and focus on YOU. Keep reading to find three ways to make you feel like the best version of you. (And don’t forget, these would also make great gift ideas!)

Combine Meditation and Massage
Whether consumed with work, your kiddos’ school and sports schedules, projects, chores, etc., block time into your day to meditate. Mediation can take many forms. Some people prefer to sit in silence. Others listen to soothing music. No matter what you prefer, meditation can bring a sense of calm and peace.
Combining meditation with a massage is a great way to transport yourself into a better state of mind. It can also help your body let go of stress and rid your muscles of painful knots.
Scheduling a full-body massage with a masseuse can relieve tension, but there are at-home options, too.
Consider this full-body massage chair, the OSIM uDivine V. It is designed to help your body relax during mediation. It features dual-track four-hand massage, patented V-Hand technology, and warming therapy to soothe muscles.
Your aching body will thank you! Pair the chair with the OSIM uMist Aroma to add soothing aromas and create a comfortable meditation environment.
Invest in Quality Sleep
Daily routines are a way of life for most parents. They bring structure to what could easily be chaos! But when your routines and daily habits start to suffer — such as losing sleep at night — days can begin to unravel!
To combat this, make a commitment to bettering your sleeping habits. Certain pre-bedtime routines, such as taking a warm bath, listening to music, and having a hard shut-off for screen time, can drastically improve your ability to fall and stay asleep.
If possible, incorporate a massage to relieve your achy muscles and help your body relax. The OSIM Smart DIY Massage chair creates a full-body massage experience, combining the OSIM uSqueez 2 Smart (to relax leg muscles) and the OSIM uJolly 2 Smart (to focus on your back).
After you treat your body to a massage, good luck staying awake!

Work in Comfort
Many parents have the ability to work at home. While working at home has its advantages, it can be difficult to set up a home office that is conducive to productivity and long-term comfort. Some chairs, while aesthetically pleasing, don’t offer back support or help with posture. Ouch!
Look for a chair that allows your feet to touch the ground with hips slightly above the knees, your arms to stay at a 90-degree angle while typing and writing, and offers lumbar support.
The OSIM uThrone, an office/gaming massage chair, can support your posture with its patented V-Hand technology, shoulder grip, and adjustable shoulder position.
Being a parent is hard enough, but fortunately there are products that can restore and soothe your mind and body. Carving out time and space for self-care, better sleep, and comfortable work environments are the first steps. Pair those moments with specially designed products and you’ll feel rejuvenated and relaxed.
