But yes. All of these points are great. Visualizing positive experiences and actions, and being kind to myself and my horse are absolute difference makers when it comes to being happy and successful in our endeavors. emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-3018103610668994172018-01-28T08:06:55.871-06:002018-01-28T08:06:55.871-06:00Super post!

Jane Savoie is the best - and she's rocking the mom jeans too. ;D<br /><br />I have a handle on finding silver linings - another jedi mind trick lol - but really have to concentrate on just saying thank you when receiving a compliment.

It works in any aspect of life from sports to parenting to teaching to working with others. Life-changer for sure.<br /><br />I has a roommate in college who was the worst with (or best at) self-deprecation. I wanted to boost her self-esteem so badly, but she would never about a compliment and could always think of fifty reasons why she didn't really deserve the compliment and then she would compliment me in reciprocation. It was unbearable. I really hope she saw the light and stopped beating herself up, because I don't see how she could be successful in life and continue that way.<br /><br />Even you if don't go to GP with Taran (stranger things have happened though, remember Last Seen and Seldom Seen?) he is still the horse that is getting you there and very special indeed.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-75330015142945457292018-01-27T08:12:12.824-06:002018-01-27T08:12:12.824-06:00I LOVE this.

It's so easy to bring yourself down with negative thinking or self depredation, when in reality you should own the positive comments and build your confidence. Fake it til you make it (or actually believe it), I had to do that with my own dark and negative thoughts. It is easy to get lost in someone else's journey (I think bloggers are exceptionally prone to this), and I find myself jealous of your success at second. But in reality, you dedicated the year to it, I dedicated the year to making changes work well enough to squeak out 60+ scores for my bronze. You'll get your bronze this, and with much better scores than I did!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204283740895921092.post-48413358579074584212018-01-26T17:14:49.269-06:002018-01-26T17:14:49.269-06:00Great post.

My mom had gotten me some visualization hypnosis type cd's that I took forever to listen to. Because, yeah, why try something that could help? Once I did, I really saw the importance of visualization and planting those seeds of confidence deep in your brain.
