Massage therapists have many different preferences and have a variety of choices that I've probably never even heard of. I'm a simple man, I find one I like, and until I find something better, I'll stick with it.

This will be an interesting blog post. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and I feel like this is a skill that no one ever talks about, and that is...the ability to, "Turn Off Your Mind" or "Switch Off" when it is appropriate. I will elaborate.

The Benefits of Black Coffee

1/13/2020

 One of the things I started doing is drinking black coffee in the morning after I get back from the gym. Once in a while I'll put some brown sugar in there, but I try not to do this often. I'll make a lot of black coffee one day, then I'll put the whole pot in the refrigerator for the next few days. Each morning I'll have about a mug or two of black coffee. ​

"Is there a right way to sleep?" Yes and no. There's your answer, goodbye! Just kidding, yes there is a right way to sleep...kinda.

So like most people, since it's the new year, I have been working on establishing some new habits such as going to the gym every day. However, I didn't start until January 3rd, so I've been playing catch up with my workout plan. Thus, as a result, I went to the gym like five days in a row and skipped the Rest Days so I could catch up to the current day of my workout schedule.

It's totally up to you. I often find that if it's a client's first time, having a fun conversation with the therapist helps them to relax and feel more comfortable after being more acquainted with the therapist.
