What is your Superpower?

​What is your SUPERPOWER?

While doing massage, a client sometimes asks – “Can you feel that?” (Their problem area; their tension spot; their pain points.) Or they ask “How do you know what area has the issue?” I have my responses, which are genuine, to which they then reply, “That’s amazing you can feel that”, or that I know where to look or that I know what their issue may be. My answer to their amazement is… we all have our gifts and mine is human touch. It is how I make a difference in someone’s life or day or my day or contribute to humankind. It is my purpose and how I thrive. It fills my happy meter.
It is my SUPERPOWER.

Now here we are facing another New Year. Woohoo!! But, how many of us put those expectations out? What are we going to  accomplish? What changes are we making? Big strides and big ambitions. And although it is fun and important to learn new things and expand our endeavors, let’s not set goals to perfect those endeavors in a short time. Or to have expectations to change who we are. Or make an objective of creating a whole new us.

Let’s embrace and acknowledge what makes us special.

What do you already do well?
What are you already accomplishing?
What are you already achieving?

I don’t ski. I am really bad. Like painfully bad. I also don’t build things. My measurements are not precise enough. It comes out lopsided. I like to sing, but there are no record producers signing me. I would like to learn to play the piano, but I have no expectations of selling out the Met. I love to bake. I love to take pictures.

I know human touch. I love to help people feel and function better. It’s my thing. We all have our thing. Let’s live in the moment of what makes us happy and fills us up. I say, embrace your passions, your gifts, your purpose and live there. Celebrate it. Share it.

So what is YOUR SUPERPOWER? Seriously, honestly, we want to know.
