Horses Show The Way

This morning I paused to appreciate the amazing sunrise.
After so many gloomy, cloud filled foggy days it’s glorious to see the sun again.
It reminded me of some excellent advice, to view emotions like the weather, to take a moment to appreciate what is going well however small - a smile from a stranger, a nice cup of tea, helping someone out. To develop the skill of letting emotions pass, some days or weeks will be cloudy and miserable, but with the right support the sun can shine again.
This is why I love coaching, it’s solution and strengths based, building on what you’re good at.
If you’d like to know more I’d love to hear from you. Contact me about retreats with the horses and take some time out from the everyday.

Working with the horses helps us see if we are being authentic and where our focus truly lies. They communicate using micro movements in body language and watch us for the same. Meanwhile we humans are used to communicating verbally and don’t take much notice of these subtle clues. The horses help us take a new perspective on our challenges and goals.
If you are interested in working with the team drop me an email [email protected] or call 07762 945373.

Today has been gloomy and dark. The sun made a half hearted effort to break through the grey but gave up. Joy decided it was a duvet day, found her cushion, and made herself comfortable 🐕

I had a fab morning volunteering at RDA Unicorn Centre.
One of the five steps to wellbeing is helping others, and I wholeheartedly agree. Amazing to see the smiling faces of the children enjoying riding 💫

Snowy knows the best way to recharge her battery is to take quiet time out away from the crowd.
Overstimulation leads to tiredness, overwhelm and burnout.
Taking time out is great for your own health.
Worried that it seems selfish? Not at all, you’ll be more present in your relationships at home and work, more able to cope, and everyone benefits 😁
What’s your favourite way of giving yourself space to recharge? 💖

I’m being mugged for treats! 💖

I love the way that amazing things grow out of compost. Nature is full of so much beauty when we pause for just a moment.
There is a growing body of evidence now to show that getting our hands into the soil, and in contact with the fungi that grow there, is beneficial to our mental health and well being. Just being in a natural environment calms the nervous system, which in turn helps reduce anxiety, burnout and overwhelm.

We’ve just finished a retreat here at Horses Show The Way. A group of five coaches enjoyed the Yorkshire scenery and time outdoors with the horses. We explored how we can mirror the horses by allowing ourselves to return to a resting/ digesting ventral vagal state in our busy, often hectic lives. This included how we set boundaries with ourselves & others and how to recognise when we are aligned with our authentic self. Everyone took away impactful learning and new understanding of themselves.
