In this episode, we explore the concept of reframing and its impact on your equestrian journey. Host Mary Debono shares personal anecdotes and practical examples to illustrate how changing your perspective can revolutionize your approach to challenges, both in and out of the saddle.

Mary emphasizes that reframing is not about sugarcoating difficulties, but about finding actionable strategies to improve your life and your relationship with your horse. She introduces the Feldenkrais Method as a powerful tool for enhancing both physical and mental well-being, highlighting how improved body awareness can lead to more effective mindset shifts.

Key takeaways:

• Reframing is about changing the meaning of a situation to reach a more empowering conclusion.
• Mindset shifts not only change how you feel but also influence your actions and outcomes.
• Grounding techniques, such as focusing on physical sensations, can help break negative thought patterns.
• Improved body awareness through the Feldenkrais Method can facilitate mindset shifts and enhance riding abilities.
• Reframing is a skill that can be practiced daily, leading to long-term positive changes in your equestrian life.
