Over The Oxer

Winter Well-Being and Being an Equestrian

Brrr it's been a cold week! As equestrians, it's not the easiest season and we need to make sure we're in a good mental framework to keep plugging away! 
Horses are often our mental health ambassadors too. 
How can we spot when our mental health is flagging? There are often subtle signs that we can nip in the bud before they become bigger issues. You may be surprised at some of them!

Why rejecting New Year goal setting might be more useful!

Ah, the New Year, new me chants echo around the world as people make New Year resolutions (even though 90% of goals stutter before the end of January). So why not make goals? Well, they may be set under pressure to conform to the tradition of making plans on 1st January. Plus, there's enough new year anxiety without compounding the problem.
 
On this episode, I talk about rejecting goals and resolutions and give you some ideas of what to do instead. Keeping calm and lifting any pressure may be far more worthwhile than setting audacious goals.
 
If you're enjoying these episodes, why not consider joining an NLP course? The next one starts on 5th Feb, then every Monday 1:30-5pm UK time. You can find out more here: https://traceycolenlp.com/product/equestrian-nlp-practitioner/

A solstice celebration to get rid of what holds you back

I love the solstices - the coming back fo the light in the northern hemisphere and the return of the dark in the southern. Let's celebrate together this special time and take a few moments out of our busy Christmassy lives and end-of-year tasks to enjoy a guided relaxation.
 
I'll lead you through a fir forest to a white fire where we can burn the yule log and allow the layers of old beliefs, habits, memories, values and thoughts to simply disappear. 
 
Have a wonderful solstice, Christmas and New Year and I'll see you around the 9th January for more mindset ideas :)

Q&A part 2

Thanks again for some intriguing questions!
Can you use hypnosis to improve core strength?
Why might hypnosis NOT work?
How can I stop being a pessimist, as that stops me riding?
Why can't I ride the horse I'm on, why am I thinking about my old horse?
As always, if you have burning questions, get in touch! Your question might be a whole episode of mindset magic! My email is info@traceycolenlp.com

Why affirmations don’t work and what to do instead

Think positive, we're told! Say affirmations like "I am a confident rider" or "I can do it"! Or not, because affirmations don't work unless under certain circumstances. They're as useful as a gale when taking a barrow load of shavings to the muck heap. So if you're striving to think positive and think confident via affirmations, the good news is that you can stop now!

Seeing or hearing about others’ accidents, tumbles and falls affects YOUR mind too

Take care! Your mind takes everything personally! If you see images of riders having accidents or hear descriptions, your mind thinks that it's YOU who had the accident! It then responds accordingly, aiming to protect you and making you overthink your riding!! Listen to find out how to avoid this.

Under the radar anxiety: high-functioning anxiety

Feeling stressed, anxious and generally lacking confidence in yourself and how well you ride your horse is a common theme amongst riders and horse owners. Sometimes, riders can function perfectly well in their daily life at home, in the workplace and even on the yard, but they don’t fully enjoy riding, competing and being with their horse in general. Why is that?
I see more and more clients who can get on with their lives, but have a sort of invisible malware running through their mind, a type of anxiety and worry that's always there. This is sometimes due to high-functioning anxiety. 
 
What is high-functioning anxiety and how can we recognise it?

Winter or summer SAD - seasonal blues

Have you got winter blues (in autumn!)? Or is a change of season filling you with dread? Seasonal affected disorder (SAD) can occur in the winter or summer and it's all to do with the light. Too much or too little wreaks havoc with our circadian rhythms.
Find out why most advice isn't the best for equestrians and what we riders can do in summer or winter to avoid feeling so low.

The most powerful NLP technique?

I think this is the most powerful technique in NLP. When I first trained in NLP, I thought it was an interesting concept, but I missed the incredible changes it can bring about. I'm still experimenting with it, it's fun, will you join me with Perception is Projection?

Do you have a worry cup?

Do you have a worry cup? Much like horses, when our worry cup is full, the slightest thing can cause us to tailspin. How do we fill our worry cup? How do we empty it? Listen to find out more!

Equestrians chasing their tails: the myth of multitasking

Multitasking is a complete myth! It's a term meant for computers, not humans. We are more mon-taskers if anything. However, we do strive to multitask and this can be our undoing - it wrecks grey matter, causes anxiety and stress and is ultimately inefficient. Still want to multitask?!
