Good Mental Health Starts with Your Feet?

I have always been a huge fan of women. Even as a child, I couldn’t get the image of women out of my mind…there’s something about the shape. Well, as a teen-ager, it was even worse. My hormones drove my interest into a flat out obsession. I had girls on my mind 24/7. I was very preoccupied with the quest and I couldn’t wait to…well, you know “it happened.” One day, the opportunity came to me. I met this beautiful girl, who was a bit older than I, but she was a real beauty, who actually liked me. She had dark, long wavy hair, olive skin and deep brown eyes. She was a Mediterranean beauty who had me busting at the seems. Well, the date was set–she liked me and I liked her. She invited me to her place, to… you get the idea….

I was in heaven; “it” was actually going to happen. Well, we sat on the couch, nervously making small talk until we finally kissed. All of a sudden, my interest came to a screeching halt! She took off her shoes and exposed the ugliest feet I have ever seen. The thought of those feet under sheets with me or touching me was too much for me to bare. So, I had to quickly come up with an exit strategy and fast. Long story short… “it” never happened with the Mediterranean beauty and from that point forward, I has a foot phobia.
Just the other day, I got the Medi-Points Foot Massager in the mail from Gadget Universe. At first impression, I was a bit skeptical, considering my traumatic history with feet. You see, this gadget deals with two things in which I have a phobia: feet and personal massage devices. So, I left the Medi-Points Foot Massager’s box out a while, pacing back and forth…finally, I pulled out my pigs and the Medi-Points Foot Massager and gave it a shot. You see, the Medi-Points Foot Massager is intended to a generate relaxing response by applying heat and gyrating pressure to key points on your feet. Its not just another buzzing foot tingler or leg shaker. After giving a try in utter privacy, I discovered it actually worked. I felt relaxed and oddly energetic.

So, I decided to share it with others to see if I was out of my mind. And I got the same response from the others who tried it out. In this who process, I discovered that I was over my foot phobia, as I helped people into my new Medi-Points Foot Massager, I noticed that seeing or touching their feet didn’t make me want to throw up or run scared. What a discovery! I am cured at last!

I now have big foot plans. I want get a pedicure and a pair of sandals. Even better, I might even try touching my wife’s feet for the first time! But I need to make baby steps, of course. So, I will keep you posted.

Thank you Gadget Universe. The Medi-Points Foot Massager was a real break through for me.
