My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Today I thought I’d share something about one of my other occupations.
Being a Foot Reflexologist has made me very aware of peoples views on feet.
People seem to:
*appreciate and enjoy them.
*ignore them, like they don’t even exist.
* have a phobia about them.
*or think they’re the most disgusting part of human anatomy.
The first thing out of many people’s mouths, when they discover that I’m a foot reflexologist is…
“Eeeeew…I can’t believe you actually TOUCH people’s feet. Doesn’t that totally GROSS you out?”
And my response is…
“Yes, it TOTALLY grosses me out…that’s why I do it.”
Several people have also expressed…
“Hell…I don’t even notice or think about my feet until I accidentally step on a piece of glass.”
I actually had one person say to me…
“I HATE feet. I hate feet so much, that I can’t even touch or look at my own.”
And I thought to myself…
“Then how the hell do you ever put your shoes and socks on?”
But my all-time favorite reaction is….
(winking at me) “Oh…so I guess you have some sort of kinky foot fetish, right?”
And my smart-ass answer is…
(winking back) “Yes, I do…and to be totally honest, the only reason why I became a foot reflexologist, was so that I could walk around with a constant pump tent"
Obviously, because of my occupation, I appreciate and enjoy feet. I find them one of the most fascinating parts of our anatomy, because I know they are an excellent tool for staying healthy. When my feet feel good, so do I. And yes, I do find feet attractive - I actually see them as a work of art.
I enjoy taking good care of my own feet, by wearing comfortable shoes and using certain products; keeping them callus-free, soft, and in good shape. I also massage my feet at least once a day, because it makes my whole body feel wonderful.
And what I’ve enjoyed noticing within the past five years, is that it’s not only the women of the world who are taking the time to care for their feet with regular pedicures and massage, but also the men. And I think that’s great!
So take a tip from me…
Start giving your feet the attention they deserve, because if you do, they’ll not only feel good, but also look good.
I mean come on, look at mine…..
