Train Your Own Horse with Stacy Westfall

Episode 270: The Art of Being: Embracing a Way of Being Approach


Listen Later

In this episode, we will explore how to pursue a feeling state as a goal.  Listen in as Stacy coaches Lauren on how to pursue her theme of ‘having fun builds confidence’ as it relates to showing her horse.

A way of being goal is an exploration of your experience of life. The direct goal becomes the exploration of your experience, the indirect goal becomes what  you choose to do, for example, showing your horse.

This shift in focus transforms the show from a mere competition into a platform for self-study.

Topics include:

  • 3 examples of making a ‘way of being’ goal measurable
  • the danger of setting a ‘way of being goal’ and how to avoid it
  • self-esteem and self-confidence
  • the power of individual choice in defining success
  • the importance of viewing this goal across all areas of life, not just with horses

Steven Pressfield's  book, “The War of Art" is also recommended as an additional resource on the subject.
