In this episode we revisit the book I introduced you to at the beginning of this season, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess, by Dr Caroline Leaf. I discuss what her 5 step process of mind management is and connect it to horses to help make the strengthen your why to do the work. I finish the episode by discussing the future of Take the Reins and some amazing adventures I have that will bring about a few changes, but MUCH inspiration to the podcast.Links Mentioned:https://www.amazon.ca/Cleaning-Up-Your-Mental-Mess/dp/1540900401/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw7fuJBhBdEiwA2lLMYavuHJIJJIk6ali_p6ueZpXLovyFDMN4FD_8ga6AhJTHPPJEE8gHLBoCUgkQAvD_BwE&hvadid=475188872285&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1002105&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=10104776409443200406&hvtargid=kwd-1058511493664&hydadcr=27889_10612579&keywords=cleaning+up+your+mental+mess&qid=1631550368&sr=8-1www.alongfortheride.proFollow me online @:https://nikkiporter.ca/https://www.instagram.com/nikkiportercoaching/https://www.facebook.com/nikkiporterauthor/Purchase publications by Nikki Porter @:https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=nikki+porter&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

In this episode we continue the conversation from the last episode about personality. This week we look at ways that both us and our horses protect ourselves when we do not have our mental, emotion and physical needs met. Links Mentioned:https://www.amazon.ca/Lets-Be-Honest-equestrian-journey/dp/B09B28Q21F/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1Y089XX0L7T9Q&keywords=lets+be+honest&qid=1641258617&sprefix=lets+be+honest%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-2Follow me online @:https://nikkiporter.ca/https://www.instagram.com/nikkiportercoaching/https://www.facebook.com/nikkiporterauthor/Purchase publications by Nikki Porter @:https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=nikki+porter&ref=nb_sb_noss_1https://www.amazon.com/Riding-Through-Equestrian-Tested-Transformed/dp/1778001203/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1G3VK6OIXGZ6Y&keywords=riding+through+it&qid=1638241412&sprefix=Riding+Through+%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-1

In this episode we start the new year off with a potentially life-changing exercise that allows you the space and time to decipher between your traits and symptoms that are showing you need to make some changes in your life, relationships, boundaries, etc. This exercise is as powerful as you let it be and can help you understand yourself and your horse on a deeper level. Links Mentioned:https://www.amazon.ca/Lets-Be-Honest-equestrian-journey/dp/B09B28Q21F/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1Y089XX0L7T9Q&keywords=lets+be+honest&qid=1641258617&sprefix=lets+be+honest%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-2Follow me online @:https://nikkiporter.ca/https://www.instagram.com/nikkiportercoaching/https://www.facebook.com/nikkiporterauthor/Purchase publications by Nikki Porter @:https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=nikki+porter&ref=nb_sb_noss_1https://www.amazon.com/Riding-Through-Equestrian-Tested-Transformed/dp/1778001203/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1G3VK6OIXGZ6Y&keywords=riding+through+it&qid=1638241412&sprefix=Riding+Through+%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-1

In this episode I share two bits of very exciting news, our final equestrian author interview and a chat about tuning your awareness into where and what you are feeling drawn to. We use the term draw in horsemanship to describe our horses desire to go towards what they find comfort in and I encourage you to look into what and why you are drawn to in life. Links Mentioned:Teresa L- https://www.instagram.com/citygirl_countrydreams/https://www.amazon.com/Riding-Through-Equestrian-Tested-Transformed/dp/1778001203/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1G3VK6OIXGZ6Y&keywords=riding+through+it&qid=1638241412&sprefix=Riding+Through+%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-1Follow me online @:https://nikkiporter.ca/https://www.instagram.com/nikkiportercoaching/https://www.facebook.com/nikkiporterauthor/Purchase publications by Nikki Porter @:https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=nikki+porter&ref=nb_sb_noss_1https://www.amazon.com/Riding-Through-Equestrian-Tested-Transformed/dp/1778001203/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1G3VK6OIXGZ6Y&keywords=riding+through+it&qid=1638241412&sprefix=Riding+Through+%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-1

In this episode I address two questions sent in from listeners that bring us back to some important questions to ask ourselves. The first question I cover is how to know if a horse is too much horse or if it is fear holding you back. I give three questions to ask yourself to help bring some scope to the situation. The second question is how to keep your sanity while your horse is injured. I love this question because it is a great opportunity to remind ourselves of our why and to separate the horse from our goals. Links Mentioned:https://www.amazon.ca/Lets-Be-Honest-equestrian-journey/dp/B09B28Q21F/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=nikki+porter&qid=1631550508&sr=8-2Follow me online @:https://nikkiporter.ca/https://www.instagram.com/nikkiportercoaching/https://www.facebook.com/nikkiporterauthor/Purchase publications by Nikki Porter @:https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=nikki+porter&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
