Re: [Reflexology Community ] Self-discipline

Lynne,

Just thought I would respond to your initial complaint ( no food til after
2pm!) since there have been so many wonderful suggestions on working with a
talkative client.
I always try to keep some dried fruit and nuts with me, and water. Then, if
I am stuck somewhere, I have a healthy treat that staves off my hunger til I
can get a real meal.

I am with Lynne, Kay. It isn't always easy to find a break. They usually cool off next session or you may a bigger problem. Kevin Kunz ... you're on there!...
