The Massage Foot Envy
The massage foot envy is simple envious experience when you realize that you are the one missing out in the massage revolution. When you a recipient of a massage, foot, leg, or neck, your whole body feels so much more relaxed and appreciated. When you realize that you are missing out the being on the receiving end of the massage, foot envy is likely.
If you regularly give foot massages to other people in the family, simply ask for one in return. Get over the fact that you have to ask. Sometimes people are just unaware that your needs aren’t being met and they assume that if you wanted one you would ask for it. Yes, they should offer if you have been dishing the foot massages. But your main goal is to cure your need for a massage, foot envy, and receive the necessary attention for your weary body parts. You can’t force someone to read your mind and you can’t force someone to recognize that your needs are not being met.
What do you do if your partner refuses to return the massage, foot envy ensues, and you realize that you can’t receive the same attention that you have been giving? You have a few choices. You can launch into a discussion about why you are denied your foot massage when you’ve been giving them so freely. This only works if you remain unemotional about it and discover the real reason behind the refusal. You can opt to start budgeting a portion of the family income toward your own professional foot massage. There is no reason to be denied a caring and loving act that helps your whole body feel and function well. While your partner might balk at the expense, you have already given them opportunity to take care of your massage foot envy and they refused. You do not have to skimp on your own needs while caring for others.
If you have developed a serious case of massage foot envy you might find yourself unwilling to continue to dish out the foot massages. This is your choice but I will point out that it usually doesn’t serve one well to deny love and care in order to receive love and care. You can always purchase a foot massager for the home and allow everyone to demonstrate the same love and care for themselves.
