Massage and Self-Care: Creating a Routine That Works for Your Busy Jacksonville Schedule

As a Jacksonville local, you probably find yourself busy and wanting to take advantage of all the fun events around you. This can make scheduling time for self-care and massages tricky. However, you must find time to take care of yourself to be your best self mentally and physically. Follow these tips below to establish a routine that works for your busy Jacksonville, FL, Schedule. 

1. Set Aside The Same Time Each Week

There are 168 hours in each week. The best way to establish a routine is to set aside the same time for your weekly massage. Whether that is a lunch break, a time directly after work, or an hour on the weekend, dedicate this time for yourself. The best way to keep you consistent is to do this simultaneously each week. 


2. Get Creative With Time

You don't have to do a massage within the standard 9-5 hours you're working or trying other services. The Wellness Hub is open 7 days a week, six days from 8 am to 8 pm. On Sundays, they are open from 10 am to 4 pm. This allows you to choose times around your work schedule and other commitments. These appointment options give you flexibility that other massage facilities do not offer clients in Jacksonville. 


3. Add It To Your Errand Run

Most of us set aside a day to run errands and do things we can't do when working long shifts. If you work in the healthcare or entertainment industries, you already have a non-traditional work schedule that gives you time off during the week. If you have the same days off every week and run your errands on a certain day, set aside an hour before you start your errands so that you are taking care of yourself. 


4. Add it To Your Exercise Routine

If you are already setting aside time to attend a few exercise classes, having a massage session after your workout can do your body good. While you are already working on a self-care routine, take the time to add in an extra hour to help stabilize your mental health as well as physical health throughout the week. 

5. Early Saturday Morning

For those of you who work the standard 9-5 and have a family at home, your house is likely quiet on early Saturday mornings. Saturday afternoons can get busy in Jacksonville, and you cannot set aside the hours you need for yourself. Schedule one of the first appointments early, at 8 am or 9 am, so that when you get back home, your family starts to stir, and you can focus on your daily activities after taking some much-needed self-care. 

Why is Self-Care Important

Jacksonville offers many daily activities, entertainment, and liveliness. Home to an NFL team, many active beaches, and many attractions, there is always something to do and somewhere to go. Many families live locally in the area, and the parents spend so much time caring for kids and their spouses that they start to forget themselves and what they need. 

If you don't take time for yourself, you'll start to see your health decline, you may feel tired more frequently, and you will resent your commitments. This happens when you neglect yourself and feel that what you need isn't as important as other things. This can impact relationships in your life. 

Self-care allows you to find peace in yourself and slow down, even if it's just for an hour. Mentally, caring for a family or others who depend on you can be exhausting. Even single professionals in Jacksonville need self-care, as they often spend much time and energy in their careers. Reduce the amount of stress you're under by taking advantage of self-care options. 

To be the best version of yourself and give 100 percent to your job, family, friends, and other commitments, you must also take care of yourself. Going back to the 168 hours a week, giving yourself one or two hours each week isn't selfish. Your relationships will start to thrive because you have mental clarity, and you will make better choices physically because you are taking care of your body. 

Choose the Right Massage For You

When you visit The Wellness Hub, you have several options for massage types to fit what you need and how to give you the best self-care. You can choose from the following options: 

• Classic Massage
• Advanced Massage
• Couples Massage
• Lymphatic Drainage Massage
• Massage for Pain Relief
• Fertility Massage
• Prenatal and Postpartum Massage

These massages can be broken down into 60, 90, or 120 minutes, depending on what you have time for in your week in Jacksonville FL. Keep in mind that while some weeks you may only have time for 60 minutes, the weeks that you have more time, take the opportunity to schedule a more extended massage to treat yourself.  

We are conveniently located around some of the city's larger employers, Florida Blue, Fidelity and Baptist Health. Our location makes us a great spot for lunch break appointments or locals who are out running errands at the nearby St John's Town Center.
