I've been doing massage for six years. I love it. I feel like I help people when I can get those tense muscles to relax, and when I have people tell me that their massage was amazing etc. I give of myself in a lot of my treatments, and it can be taxing on me.
It seems lately like the physical toll is catching up with me. I'm always tired, grumpy, and have way more anxiety attacks, nightmares, and fights with my husband.
I might have stated before about my husband's dislike of my career choice, and for the most part, and as much as I hate to say it, he's right. I hate being an independent contractor, it's not that steady, and most of the people I work for are flighty, and rude.
So, I think it's time soon for me to change careers. I have no idea what I want to do next. Well, actually, I have some ideas. Teaching Massage, or working in Spa Management would be cool. Maybe I should jump fields entirely, and get into something like event planning, or working more of an office job.
I did some volunteer work back in the day with a non-profit with their event planning, and I loved it. I was on the committee for a black tie gala, and helped run the program, down to helping in the office with paperwork and filing etc. Of course, I did this eight or nine years ago. Everyone I worked with is somewhere else, and I have no clue how to get back into that field. This was also in Orange County, by the way.
I went thru a range of emotions just writing this post. I was at first upset, since my back is messed up, then relieved because I haven't been able to talk about this without causing a problem, and now depressed because I have no effing clue what I am going to do now.
So, there you go...I think the universe is telling me it's time to move on to something better, like being a housewife. ;)
