Whats it like for you to say something kind about yourself, or pay yourself a compliment?
✨️ Reflecting on recent sessions, I have come to realise how difficult it is for people, me included, to say something positive about themselves, why is that?
✨️ People, adults and children alike squirm and laugh nervously as I ask them to think of something positive about themselves.
✨️ I'm not doing it to make people feel uncomfortable, I'm trying to create a little crack in the 'I'm rubbish, bad, stupid, ugly, too much, too little, too loud, too quiet' narrative we tell ourselves daily. We are not all one 'bad' thing, however unless we pause, notice and become aware, it can seem like it.
✨️ In the gentle presence of horses we can learn so much about ourselves. They can show us how to be in the present moment and through guided interactions help improve the way we see ourselves.
I invite you to take a moment to reflect. I would be really interested to know your thoughts and feelings, comment below 🐴✨️
