In yoga teaching training I was taught to always have a beginners mind. Keeping a beginners mind will allow you to open your mind to more possibilities. Some people think they know everything and operate with ego. In discussions I prefer to state my opinion but try to listen and also think from the others point of view.
While I was attending a recent conference, I was pleased to find many genuine therapists who worked well together and shared information with passion. It was great to be present with so many experienced and talented teachers and therapists.
In the health care field, I really like to see each professional working as a team and maintaining the goal of health for the client. When we open our mind to other people’s ideas we may just learn something we didn’t know or see something from a view we never even thought of.
I believe that massage therapy continuing education is important to be a great therapist. Try thinking this way next time you take a class and notice how much you learn.
