Ideas to Show You're Grateful
Ginny Hicks • June 1, 2021
Father’s Day is right around the corner and while life right now looks quite different than it did last year, there are still plenty of ways to show your appreciation for all that dad has done for you. Here are a few ideas that help you show your appreciation during this unique time.
Make a shadowbox
While money may be tight right now for a lot of people who were suddenly put out of work, you can still offer a nice gift on a small budget. Make a shadowbox. A shadowbox consists of things that are important and meaningful memories. For example, if your dad served in the military making a shadowbox with any medals or honors he received is so special. Or maybe you want to include a few special items that will remind him of you, like a childhood toy, baseball glove, or tickets to the first concert he took you to see. Anything that celebrates who your dad is can go in. Showing dad how much your time spent together has meant to you, is more than money can buy.
Revisit one of your favorite past times
While you may not be that little boy or little girl you once were, your dad still sees you that way. Did you have monthly fishing trips, a special place you would go together, or traditions maybe? If so, make Father’s Day a day dedicated to reliving those moments. Surprise him with a day full of the things you loved to do together when you were younger. Not only will it show him you remember those special times he likely cherishes, but you can make even more memories together too.
Give him your time
While this may seem simple, time is often hard to come by. When’s the last time you spent completely uninterrupted time with dad? It’s probably been a while, right? Mark your entire day off and leave the phone somewhere else. Your dad knows things in your life have changed quite a bit, but sometimes all he wants is quality time with you. Maybe you can watch his favorite TV shows or movies with him, or you can cook him a nice homemade meal, or go out on a walk or drive and just talk. Whatever it is, give him your undivided attention and just be present with him. That’s what means the most.
Treat dad to a spa day
While you may only associate a spa day with Mother’s Day, dads shouldn’t be left out on this. Your dad has probably worked hard his entire life, and even if those busy days have calmed down with age, he deserves some time to relax. Make the day about him. Treat him to a massage, lunch after, and a relaxing evening where he doesn’t have to lift a finger. You may think he’ll feel weird, but he’ll likely enjoy every second.
No matter the kind of dad you have, you’re sure to find a gift on this list that will play his heart strings just right. What gift sounds perfect to show your dad just how grateful you are?
There’s no denying we’re in a difficult time. Not only are we dealing with a silent, invisible enemy, but we’re also seeing division among people on an extreme scale. My goal is to educate the public on the inclusivity of massage and bodywork; everybody can benefit from massage, and every person is welcome on my massage table...always.
It’s that time of year again. A time of celebration, family gatherings, holiday parties, gifting, traveling, and most of all, excitement. While many of us are thrilled and looking forward to the holiday season, that excitement is generally accompanied by STRESS. Stress to pick out the perfect dish, give the perfect gift, maintain a spotless house, show up to every party, and decorate our homes like Martha Stewart. So here’s a few tips to help you keep your holiday stress under control, so you can enjoy what the holidays are truly about.
The holidays are a time that we're all doing the most to show gratitude for those closest to us. We gather around large meals at Thanksgiving, catch up with those we don't get to see very often, watch football, joke with the cousins, and then at Christmas, we pour ourselves into thoughtful gift-giving. The problem is that there are so many of us who take this to an extreme level and forget about taking care of ourselves.
This time of year is a favorite for many. It’s a time where everyone is reflecting on the events of the year and how grateful they are for their health, life, family, and friends. But did you know that gratitude goes deeper than just a feeling? It truly affects how the mind and body function!
Why they're both important for injury recovery:
It’s that time of year. Fall, family gatherings, fellowship, and food are all things that make the last few months of the year a favorite for so many. Halloween parties are always super fun, but you can always guess what to expect at them. To mix things up, why not throw a Halloween spa party? You and your friends can still have festive fun while getting some much needed relaxation before the Holidays.
While many consider massage therapy to be a luxury or simply for relaxation purposes, you might be surprised to know that massage has many more benefits beyond that. Massage therapy has been shown to improve a wide variety of medical conditions, and here’s 5 that you may be surprised by.
There seems to be a lot of unspoken etiquette involved when receiving a massage. For those who’ve had numerous massages, this may be well understood. However, for those who haven’t received massage regularly, you may feel a bit intimidated or overwhelmed by all the questions running through your head about it all.
Did you know anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders world-wide? That means you’re not alone, and there are many others out there dealing with anxiety. Fortunately, that also means there are a lot of resources to help you manage it. Here are 10 tips to help you cope with your anxiety.
It seems no matter the time of year, we’re all bombarded with tips on eating right and working out; advice on everything from what you need to eat to lose weight, how many times a day you need to eat, the perfect time to work out, or what exercises you need to do to gain muscle. But one thing you will rarely hear about is how important sleep is to almost every aspect of your health.
