Good morning, lovely people 😊

Being a massage therapist involves far more than memorizing muscle names, mastering techniques, or having a calming presence. Beneath the surface of this profession lie subtle patterns and insights that only experienced practitioners truly understand. The path to becoming a respected and reputable therapist includes lessons rarely taught in formal massage courses. For those new to the field and hoping to establish themselves, seeking guidance from seasoned therapists - individuals with years of experience, integrity, and a strong moral compass - can make all the difference.

I remember how I was fifteen years ago - new to the profession and feeling the stress of working with new people every day. I was doing my best to stay safe while still providing high-quality treatments for my clients. Some came simply to relax, while others sought meaningful conversation. Regardless of the atmosphere, a good therapist must know how to read subtle signals and understand each client’s needs in order to deliver an effective massage.

Physical strength is one of the first essential elements of becoming a happy and sustainable massage therapist. I clearly remember suffering from excruciating pain in my back, shoulders, wrists, and hands. Every time someone asked about the pain in my hands, it seemed to grow deeper and more intense. People are also remarkably quick to share alarming stories about massage therapists who were forced to abandon their careers after only a few years because of chronic pain.

Everything changed once I began exercising regularly and strengthening my body. Since then, I’ve been able to truly enjoy my work—and I’ve been pain-free ever since.

Receiving regular massage treatments each month has taught me how to provide a more effective and refined experience for the people I treat.
Caring for others’ health begins with caring for one’s own - an essential principle that should never be overlooked.

With love, Olesea

Good morning, lovely people 🤗

Has anyone ever grown without stumbling,
learned without failing, or inspired the world by never breaking form?
Still, we fear the spotlight of a single awkward moment, convinced every eye is fixed upon us.
Yet while we stand beneath this imagined light, others are busy standing in their own.

A few may glance at the cracks in someone else’s armor, but most are too occupied patching their own.

We are, by nature, self-centered storytellers - the main character in a narrative told from behind our eyes.
Because we live at the center of our thoughts, we assume we live at the center of others. But we do not.

We shrink before cameras, tremble before crowds, hesitate even in quiet conversations, mistaking our inner storms for visible disasters.

What feels deafening to us is often barely a whisper to the world.
So when the mind begins to spiral over a misstep, let's remember this gentle truth:
"Everyone else is too busy learning how to live to notice how we faulted."

With love, Olesea

Good morning, lovely people 😊

Do you feel the same about the word “sorry”?
It’s often used as an excuse to keep doing the same things over and over—things we claim to regret but never change. Real accountability isn’t found in words; it’s found in changed attitudes and changed actions. Those are what fuel healthier relationships and better energy in life. When it’s not backed by change, “sorry” becomes nothing more than noise - and a waste of time.

I do believe in genuine apologies, yet I’ve learned that words alone often serve to soothe discomfort rather than create real understanding. I’d rather release what’s been said and quietly observe what follows, because sincere change shown through consistent actions - speaks far more deeply than any apology ever could.

Let’s release the habit of apologizing for what we may have done or said, for the moments we missed and the words that arrived too late. Instead, let us be present, and choose - here and now - to act in ways that feel true.

I grew up noticing something curious.
At the end of celebrations, either the host or the guests would often say, “I’m sorry if I said or did anything wrong. Please forgive me.”
They weren’t apologizing for anything specific.
They were placing the responsibility in the hands - and moral compass - of the other person, inviting them to notice any imperfections and offer forgiveness.
This habit fascinated me: apologizing without knowing exactly what for.

For those of us who struggle to let go of the constant, automatic “sorry,” perhaps there’s a gentler question to ask:

"What am I really sorry for?"
And then… simply stay curious about the answer.

With love, Olesea

Good morning, lovely people 😊

This is uncomfortable to hear - but if we're honest, we’ll recognize it.

When someone cheats or lies to us, it hurts because it violates trust. But the deeper discomfort often comes from recognition - we know, on some level, how often we do the same things internally.

Every time we silence our needs to please others, ignore our values for comfort, or pretend we want something we don’t, we’re breaking trust with ourselves.

Self-betrayal is quieter than outward dishonesty, but its impact accumulates. It shows up as resentment, restlessness, burnout, or a vague sense of living someone else’s life. Unlike external lies, no one confronts us about these moments - we have to be honest enough to notice them ourselves.

Being true to ourselves doesn’t mean acting on every desire impulsively; it means acknowledging what’s real inside us without denial or shame. That honesty is often uncomfortable, but it’s also the foundation of self-respect. And when we stop lying to ourselves, we tend to tolerate less dishonesty from others - not out of anger, but out of clarity.

With love,
Olesea

Good morning, lovely people 🤗

With extraordinary fireworks, we celebrate the end of a year and greet the new one with happiness, hope, and high expectations. We want it to be better, to make us happier, to finally fulfill us. And so, we place enormous weight on its very first day.

We want the first day to be perfect. We go for that long-promised run, deny ourselves yesterday’s indulgences, and push ourselves to become the person we swore we would be - forgetting that a new year does not begin our lives anew. Its first day is simply another ordinary day, quietly waiting for us to live it.

Many of us already carry a hushed melancholy as we think about the year that has passed and how wonderful it was, wondering how we could possibly top it. It already feels like a chore.

In trying to feel excited about what is new, we still cling to the beautiful memories of the past year - and that is okay. It is okay to feel a little sad, a little confused, maybe even angry.

We watched the impossibly stylish fireworks welcoming the new year, feeling pure joy as we were mesmerized by their fantastical display of color. Yet when those same fireworks live inside us, we resist them. Our own colorful emotions make us uncomfortable; they leave us feeling stuck.
But just as we watched the London fireworks light up the sky, perhaps we can learn to watch our emotions too - letting them come and go, and finding joy in their passing.

To soothe her emotions about 2025, my daughter created a beautiful wreath on the phone by writing “2025” over and over again, forming a perfect circle. That was her closure.
And what a beautiful one it was.

May you be granted a peaceful closure for everything that must end.

With love, Olesea

Good morning, lovely people 🤗

And one more creative burst before we are ready to turn the page of this year😊

Imagine this metaphor :
We run every day to catch “the train.”
Sometimes we’re exhausted, yet we keep running, convinced that this is the only way to reach where we want to go.

Then one day, mid-stride, we slow down. We stop running and begin to walk - at a calm, beautiful pace - no longer thinking about the train at all. When we arrive at the station, we’re surprised to find it waiting for us. It always has been.

The train never required us to run; it only moved once we stepped aboard. We were never late - we only believed we were.

The train has always waited for us, ready to go wherever we chose. Until now, we’ve chosen the same destination again and again.
But now we can choose a different one.

Where could we go? 😀

Sending you lots of love,
Olesea,

Good evening, lovely people 🤗

Now, towards the end of this amazing year, I'm coming with a question:
"How well do we know ourselves?"

We know for sure what to avoid in order to not get a reaction that we don't want to experience again, and would our avoidance partially define who we are as an amalgamation of codes that keep our individual language hidden?
But is it really hidden?

Some of us have a habit of avoiding mirrors because mirrors have the power to upset us. As we are gazing at our reflection, we most often see what we want to see - the image of ourselves which we are most comfortable with, that's why many of us may not even notice the signs of aging on our faces because we avoid looking too closely in order to ignore the blemishes and the parts of us that we are not happy with.

A dim light is comfortable to the eye and camouflages the truth while pleasantly falls upon the fine lines and grey hair that are beautifully revealed in day light.

Soft light gives us the illusion of control; daylight reminds us that beauty includes honesty, texture, and impermanence.

Perhaps the question isn’t whether mirrors upset us, but whether we’ve been taught that being upset is something to avoid at all costs.

Discomfort, like daylight, has a clarifying quality. It doesn’t have to be cruel. It can be revealing without being judgmental - if we allow ourselves to look with curiosity rather than correction and choose to stand in full light and say:
✨"This, too, is me - and it’s still worth seeing."✨

Have a restful night, lovely people🤗

Lots of love, Olesea

Good morning, lovely people 🙂

We have not seen enough of the world to make sense of it yet. Our fantasy bubbles keep us quite preoccupied and busy with constantly polishing those perfect titles or roles either in our society or in our families always trying to seek to prove ourselves still significant and equal to the tasks.

It must be tiring to brush away the solid patterns of the past and then endlessly to succumb to their power in order to avoid conflicts with others or ourselves.
These programmes can be quite crafty and strike when we think that we finally got better at handling our emotions, at accepting our weaknesses and at loving our shadows, throwing us into the house of our mind that carries many memories that can prove our "worthlessness".

If this happens to you, please remember you are not alone. ✨Raise your chin, take that walk forward and breathe the fresh air of the preset moment so you don't inhale the dust of the past.✨
There is nothing wrong with you. Healing takes time. Improving takes time. Evolving takes time. Change takes time.

Let's make sure we get in touch not only with people who stroke our ego, or constantly do their best to enrapture us with theit positive approach to life, but also get in touch with people that shake our bubble illusion, that challenge us to notice ourselves from a different angle, and put us face to face with a point of view that seems controversial to our nature.

Let's make time to be curious and make time to really know ourselves by not being ourselves from time to time.

With love Olesea

Good evening, lovely people 🤗

It was a long journey coming back from Manchester and sleep hovered quietly at the edge of my thinking. The rain and the steady hum of the road made everything feel distant and soft. I was drifting away... again... Not the best copilot one can have 😂

Cars slipped past like quiet breathing, their headlights stretching into long ribbons of white, gold and red across the wet road as if the road was breathing in color.

Everything was in motion - our car, the others, the rain itself - and in those fleeting seconds I lifted the camera and began chasing the movement outside the window. The passing cars, the glowing lights, and the reflections sliding across the wet asphalt pulled me fully awake. Each frame sharpened my senses. Fatigue faded into focus, and happiness rose in its place. In those moments, I wasn’t traveling through the night - I was living inside it and each photograph felt like a pause, a quiet moment caught inside the rush.
The tiredness gave way to presence and joy.

In life, the highlight of the day isn’t the event itself - it’s us noticing it. That act of attention is what marks the day.

Even something small that interrupts our autopilot - a sound, a smell, a look, a thought, an idea, a touch... These moments matter because they pull us into the present making us happy for being alive.

I have a diary where I write just about the highlights of my days and this action makes me want to be more present and curious about life.

What was the highlight of your day today?

With love, Olesea

Hello on this winter-like morning, lovely people 😊

Who enjoys to be criticised, please put a hand up 😁
I bet there aren't many of us who are eager to face someone else's criticism.
We often hear:"I don't care what others think about me. They will see in me whatever they focus on anyway, so why bother?
Precisely. If we can't learn something useful about ourselves from other people's point of view, we can always learn about what's important for the speaker and why he chose to focus on that particular element?
There is always a treasure in criticism if we don't take it personally.

"I don't feel good, hence I don't want to see anyone today." we might say... precisely because we care how we are going to be perceived by others when we don't feel our best.
As a person who works closely with people, I encourage sincerity. I might not be always at my best emotionally when I massage someone, but allowing it to be myself and honor my feelings enables me to provide the best treatments because I don't waste valuable energy on hiding my true emotional state hence I am free to give it all.
When we show the world a version of us that's not true, we will inevitably have to pay a price, either with burnout, either with disappointment or sacrifices like no family time, no carrying time, no hobby time etc.
Is it worth it?

I have two questions you could play with in your mind sometimes:
1. If you could spend a whole day doing whatever you want without being held accountable for anything that might result from your actions then you could go back to your normal life after that day but keeping the experience, what would you do?
2. If you could just for 5min hear someone's genuine opinion about yourself, who's opinion would you choose to hear? . a true friend's opinion or someone's who doesn't hold you in high regards?

Good morning, lovely people 🙂
Aren't we quick to jump to conclusions just to avoid uncertainty and pain without taking into account the millions of other possibilities that we haven't taken into account? 😅

Nobody likes to be judged or criticised but we still do it every single day without skipping the chance to do it over and over again like a broken machine that sqeaks and needs mending.

We get loud rather then tranquil
We feel disappointed rather then blessed
We get fearful rather than optimistic
We get blind rather than open minded.

"I am who I am" , we might say without realising that we are who we choose to be.
"I like myself as I am" , we might say without questioning the fact that being the way we are is just a convenience.
"How dare you talk to me like that?", we might argue with others when we do every day this kind of harmful talking with ourselves.
"I need to be loved not fixed", we might say, putting the burden of our laziness on other people's shoulders.

When I am in a confused state I like to play a game 😁 I like to ask for guidance from books. I take a random book from my library, than open it at a random page, put my finger anywhere on the page, then read the "message"😊 it's amazing how the mind will make the right connection to understand what to do next.

These are some of my favourite "messages" :
"Only when you say: "I did this", then you find the power to change it."
"You cannot lie to yourself. Your mind knows the truth of your thoughts."
"The more you resist, the more you make it real."
" What part of myself do I want to experience now in the face of this calamity?

And my absolute favourite:

"What would Love do?"

May your day be filled with lots of lovely, healthy thoughts 🤗

With love, Olesea
