Productive Sunday?
I woke up today feeling some familiar feelings, lack of motivation, etc... I managed to move through them for the most part, staying pretty on top of things. I'm into Week 3's coloring assignments, halfway through the Pathology reading for the coming week, working steadily on a client's website, and still enjoying life ;-)
The main challenge for the day was completing a session for Deep Tissue. I really didn't want to. We haven't learned anything "real" yet... the assignment was to choose one or two of the following: blindfolded palpation, deep tissue stroke practice, or connective tissue stroke practice. I'm tired of practicing strokes... hopefully tomorrow we get into actually using them.
So the whole day I was slightly nervous over whether or not I was actually going to do a session. In the end, I did, and I made it more useful to me by soliciting constant feedback on the pressure from my kind table angel... allowed me to experiment with different "tools" (fist, knuckles, forearm, palm, thumbs, etc) and hear how each affected the client's experience.
It feels really good to have everything on track for tomorrow, know that I have time tomorrow to prepare for Tuesday, and so on and so forth. It looks like I also have a chance to get ahead of the game, and I find that encouraging as well.
