I have tried various things along the lines of just making myself feel well cared for, well, myself, and the most cost effective "treat" I have discovered is foot massage (also called reflexology). I do not know if you have such small spas in your area - where I live there are a lot of Chinese immigrants and they run these places where the massage therapists do not speak basic English (and do not need to) and just the receptionist is American. It is far cheaper than body massage, especially if you buy a package, extremely soothing and relaxing, pampering in a simple way, and just altogether a perfect little treat for yourself. And maybe your thoughts which are on a merry go around would slow down a bit simply because of that experience. Or, slow down a lot and not a bit - I would not be surprised to hear that.
