How Massage Can Lift Your Mood on Rainy Season in Vancouver
Rainy Days and Mental Health in Vancouver
Temperatures are dropping and Vancouver is entering its rainy season again this year. Vancouver is known for its beauty, but when the rainy season hits, many of us feel a little down. The constant grey skies and wet weather can affect our mental health, leading to feelings of gloom and low energy. However, there is a way to combat this rainy season mood swoon on Robson Street. In this blog, we will introduce how spa massage can benefit your mental health.
The Effects of Gloomy Weather on Mental Health
Research has shown that rainy days and gloomy weather can cause Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), stress fatigue, and low mood. Many people may experience a drop in mood in Vancouver during the long rainy season. This is due to the drop in atmospheric pressure, which disrupts the autonomic nervous system, making it difficult to sleep, relax, and become irritable and stressed. It is also because the rain reduces the time we spend in the sun. This is because reduced daylight hours decrease serotonin and dopamine, the happy hormones in the body. Since these hormones have calming, stress-fighting, and mental stability effects, their reduction can lead to stress, fatigue, low ambition, low motivation to work, and insomnia.
Why Massage Is the Perfect for Rainy Days
So why is massage perfect for the rainy season in Vancouver?
In fact, a massage does more than simply relax muscles; it can also improve mood swings and discomfort during the rainy season.
How Massage Lifts Your Mood
How exactly does it improve mood? Massage relieves muscle tension, stimulates blood flow, and creates a sense of relaxation. This increases the secretion of the happy hormones endorphins and serotonin in the body, which fills you with a sense of comfort and well-being and enhances relaxation. At the same time, the stress hormone cortisol is reduced and shed, thereby increasing energy levels and improving stress-induced insomnia, fatigue, and mental illness. These lead to improved mood.
