"I Have To Give A Massage"

How many of us say, when we go to work, "I Have To Give A Massage".

Don't do it!

Read this quick article, the idea which came from Richard Carlson, PH.D., on how to make comments with a more positive outlook and attitude.

I have never said in any manner I have to; that's makes it to me sound like an uninteresting chore. I love what I do when I do it and my say is " Oh boy I get to help somebody feel greeeat."

Me too. I always feel upbeat and positive about doing massage.
I think it is important to talk about our work with enthusiasm. I am also conscious of my energy when I go into the treatment room. I stop briefly outside the door to centre myself and put aside all the other things that are happening in my life so I can totally concentrate on my client and on the massage.
