What do you desire to feel when looking in the mirror? Let's take a look at what we see and how we feel.
You believe that your face is not attractive and that you are no longer in your prime years. Or that it is just downright ugly.
Why do I feel so certain? Because this is what I said, and how I felt every day about the face I saw in my mirror.
Are you different than me? No! I have spent a lot of money on anti-aging products, beauty creams and potions. I am not different from you. I don't feel any younger or better about myself because I have used too many beauty products.
That was until my best friend gifted me a gift card for a facial massage. My friend gave me a life-changing gift, but I won't get too dramatic. I didn't know much about massage therapy or massage therapy. I thought it was too expensive and I wouldn't believe there were any benefits.
My friend had to drag my face for my facial. I felt uncomfortable and self-conscious, and unworthy of such attention. It felt like I was bringing attention to something I hadn't even thought about. This was an extremely negative view of myself and my appearance.
It doesn't sound like the best gift for my life-changing gift, does it? My friend, despite her ulterior motives (the gift certificate was only for two), is made of stronger stuff than I thought. She and I both went ahead with our facial. Although the facial didn't make me a teenager, nobody was wolf-whispering as we sat on a sidewalk cafe bench, it did change my perception of what it felt like to be a teenager.
I have come to realize that my feeling of being different was due to the fact that I had dispelled a few popular myths during my facial. First, massage is not recommended for me. Another popular myth is that massage therapy and massage would not be beneficial for me. It was the results of that facial and many others that have followed that gave me self-esteem. Massage therapy and massage therapy are for me, and not only for those who can afford it. The benefits of massage therapy and massage therapy are endless. I have seen firsthand the psychological and physical benefits.
Does that mean I am a supermodel? No, I have never been and will never be. But that's beside the point. I am happy to see myself in the mirror. I also feel happy about how I feel. Every day I get a full facial massage to keep me feeling that way. To make it a relaxing experience, I play soothing music and burn essential oils. It takes only half an hour and I can say that I feel younger.
