But sometimes people need more – as an example after a long time on the ground on your knees or some kind of spanking. There, you can put on some lotion and put yourself in cozy blankets laying on the bed. Take a warm shower or bath. Just find something that feels relaxing for you. Other things that are a good go to is snacks because you want to keep your nutrition up, relaxing music and even naps can be a very big world of difference and a very healing process for the individuals involved.
