We get what we give …

When I lost my last massage therapist to a full-time job, I tried another one. And during the first few massages, I offered feedback, suggestions, preferences. Still, I didn’t feel like he was giving me his best massage. I thought he was trying too hard. I wanted relaxed energy. And then came a duh!

What’s missing in any situation is what’s missing in me. It’s what I’m not giving. I needed to relax and trust! I needed to stop trying so hard to get a good massage, to get a return on my time and money!

I explained this to the therapist; and then I kept my mouth shut for a massage. It was incredible … by far, the best massage he has given me. The first one was very good; I just knew it wasn’t his best work. It wasn’t my best work!
