Enthusiasm

Dear ARTists and reflexologists everywhere.
These are unprecedented times we are going through.
The lockdowns are causing great difficulties for most people, particularly those who like us are self-employed.
It is natural to become despondent about the situation and fear what the future has in store professionally.

It is always essential to keep a positive attitude and outlook on life — in these times even more so. I am sure that once this epidemic has passed, and things return to something of more normal equilibrium, our work will be even more in demand. 
Cultivating a positive outlook means being enthusiastic about something, in our case, reflexology.

Enthusiasm stokes our inner fires, infusing the body with Qi. 
For this reason, the enthusiasm we have in our early days in practice gives treatments an extra potency - a phenomenon you may have noticed,
However, as the initial fires of enthusiasm decline, so can the effectiveness of treatments.
The quote below explains the subject and will reignite enthusiasm should it have been somewhat diminished during these times.
Enthusiasm is one of the most powerful engines of success. When you do a thing, do it with all your might. Put your whole soul into it. Stamp it with your one personality. Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful, and you will accomplish your object. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is imperative not to become complacent in our work. One way to combat this is to always focus on the reflex information we receive through our fingers and thumbs. Working in this way enables us to 'tune in' to the body's energetic signatures, which is the keystone to effective reflexology.
​
I shall be presenting a free Zoom reflexology forum on Thursday, January 14th at 2.00 GMT. Details on this website.

Best wishes 

Tony
