Improving one's lifestyle doesn't necessarily entail making choices solely revolving around pleasure and relaxation. Personally, deep sports massages appeal to me – an ambivalent blend of mild torment yet utterly relaxing. I avail them whenever possible, and more frequently when preparing for a role. Rather than fearing pain, I embrace it as it stems from elements I do not comprehend. Whenever it strikes, a massage does wonders in alleviating it.
