This blog begins on a tangent, though brings in some aspects that could apply to massage.
There is Parkinson’s ‘law’, which is more of an adage really. This is from Cyril Northcote Parkinson (1909-1983), a British naval historian, and says that ‘work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion’. Which is worse – having too much to do, or too little to do? There are other similar sayings, some bringing in algebraic formulae. We won’t go into those here, you’ll be glad to know!
The masseur could be doing the ‘work’, and it could be
that leisure, such as having a massage,
waxing, liposuction, etc, will expand so as to fill the time available in
your treatment session(s). Or if ‘time goes quickly when one is enjoying
oneself’, it may seem as though the time goes faster than you think.
It’s good to leave enough time for things, even if it’s
make time for things, whatever one’s daily matters may be. Some examples are:
time in and out of part time or full time jobs; tending to family; getting
children to and from school; going shopping; visiting relatives; and countless
other things.
If not setting enough time, one may under-estimate the
minutes or hours that some tasks may take. This can lead to stressful
situations. We cannot really multi-task in the sense of doing one thing with
one’s left hand while trying to do something else with one’s right hand at the
same time.
It can be that we, as people, co-operate with time, though time is not a living entity. Neither can we go back or forward in time, unless one has a time-travelling machine or Tardis! Though a part of Horsell Common, by the Muslim Burial Ground, was the inspiration for ‘War of the Worlds’. It’s quite atmospheric and a bit spooky there.
Pass by that way if you wish, if you come along for a massage or other treatment. Aim to
spend some time enjoyably, and based on what you are able to afford. One can
capture each moment of it with hopefully pleasant experiences, and happy
reflections or musings on it.
