In this episode of Resilience Radio, host Irvin Eisenberg speaks with David Lobenstine, a massage therapist, educator, and advocate for sustainable self-care. Together, they explore the importance of self-care for both massage therapists and the general public, balancing goal-setting with being present, and how mindfulness and body awareness influence well-being. David shares insights on Tai Chi, the transient nature of pain, and how to inhabit our bodies with ease.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Self-care is essential for both healers and clients alike. ✅ Being present matters – goals are important, but they shouldn’t overshadow the moment. ✅ Pain and discomfort are transient – they don’t have to define us. ✅ Physical complaints often stem from a mindset focused on future problems rather than the present. ✅ The culture of constant productivity can be detrimental to our health. ✅ Mindfulness practices like Tai Chi can help improve body awareness and resilience. ✅ Acknowledging discomfort is the first step toward healing.

Memorable Quotes:

🎙️ "I am a firm believer in having goals." 🎙️ "We all find ways to sort the discomfort." 🎙️ "Everything changes, right?"
