Today we're exploring the intriguing concept that not getting what you want can be a blessing in disguise - and even more than that, can be the start of a whole new, better chapter. In fact, setbacks are not synonymous with failure—they're opportunities for growth, resilience, and serendipitous coincidences and events.

Carol Dweck coined the terms 'fixed mindset' and 'growth mindset'. It's very easy for equestrians, striving to achieve their targets, lapse into fixed mindsets. You'll know it when you experience it - errors become huge disappointments and frustrations, you see failure at every turn. But growing into a growth mindset is easier than you think!

Time Line Therapy®️ doesn't necessarily mean therapy and can be extremely useful to riders. Can you imagine emptying your emotional baggage without having to talk about your past? Can you imagine how much lighter and more positive you'd feel and how much more you could do physically? 

Timeline work is gentle and deep and helps riders to put their energy into their riding, rather than holding onto old emotional episodes, trauma or limitations. But, more than that time line work is about getting those goals and becoming more resilient and mentally stronger.

As equestrians, we mostly have to get up early. How do you find it? Are you a morning lark or a night owl? Chances are that if you're an owl, you'll feel a begrudging obligation to haul yourself out of bed every morning. Whereas the larks are fine with it. 

Can owls change? Should they? Are larks really at an advantage? Actually they are. Find out more on this episode!

Your mind is ready for change if.....let's find out how the unconscious, in a clumsy way is telling you that you're meant to be more or meant to feel better or meant to change or move on - you might be surprised to find out how it does that!

Cantering fears are one of the most requested aspects of riding that I deal with in client sessions. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you prepare and go on to cantering confidently! (Please ensure you have the right level of riding ability to canter the horse you choose to canter and that you wear appropriate head protection and a back protector. I'd advise cantering with a qualified instructor too.)

Today, I want to have a little bit of a journey into our brain. In fact, I want to look at a little part of the brain called the hippocampus because our hippocampus has so many things to do with riding - memory, memorising, learning, 3-D spatial awareness and even processing emotions linked to memories. How do we nurture and care for this part of us that we owe so much to?!

Anticipatory nerves are so common amongst sports people and equestrians are no exception. However, this style of anxiousness is a learned behaviour and anything we've learnt, we can unlearn (can you remember all the stuff you learnt at school?!). Tune in to find out more.

At some point, we all feel life is a little overwhelming and chaotic. Did you know that this point can be incredibly transformative? It may be uncomfortable whilst you're in the mire, but it can cause a change in our neurology that sparks a whole new way of thinking - and at a higher level.
