AWARENESS:

Horses are highly aware.. why do you think that is?
Could it be because as a prey animal it's very important that they are aware of what's going on around them?

How aware are you?
Are you looking where you're going in life?

What does it mean 'to be GROUNDED?

I looked up the meaning.. because I know the feel but I wanted words to go with it. The definition that I found was ; mentally and emotionally stable, sensible and fully present in the current moment rather than overwhelmed by stress or worries.

Did you know that in our program, the horses want you to be ground and if you aren't, they will help you get there?

Doesn't that sound like a great place to be?

Ever feel that anxious feeling?

I read somewhere.. or heard it in a seminar, that feeling can be viewed as your body getting ready to be it's best self!

Is that right for you?
How empowered do you feel when you've pushed through the anxious feeling to present a task and made it to the other side?

Do you realize that you've made it through 100% of everything at this point? I heard that from Zig Ziglar.. i don't know about you, but I like that thought!

"CONFLICT"

When you read that word, what picture enters your mind?

Do you find conflict in your family, friends, gathering groups and place of business?

Did you know that conflict is not a bad thing?

Beings come together, they begin to communicate, interact and relate and at that point it's not uncommon for conflict to show up when the need to understand the communication arises. As communication continues, conflicts typically disapait.

What about when they don't? What happens when communication stops when conflict steps in?

Is that the point that you agree to disagree? Does understanding the communication continue?

Do you decide how much of the conflict you take or leave? And if that's the case, do you choose to learn from the experience a long the way?

If the effort and engagement of communication is pursued, the outcome is always positive.

Choose to make it a great day for yourself and others.

What kind of image does the word "BUSY" bring to your mind?

Some might be busy filling time with;

Achievements

Experiences

Memories

Faith

Tasks

And let me then ask this..

Do you feel fulfilled?
I need to keep going.. I'm an answer seeker..
Does it bring balance for you?
At what point do you feel like enough?

What would it LOOK like, and FEEL like, to be "busy" being authentic to who you are?

This past week I heard a lot about self care.. that self care puts you in a position to do your best work for others. I can't help but picture the airplane speech about grabbing your oxygen mask first so that you are able to help others.
Did you know that in the wild, leaders of the horse herd take care of themselves first so they are ready to defend their herd? That doesn't mean they leave them to fend for themselves. They assess, make sure they're fed, strong, safe and ready to give their best.

PROBLEM SOLVING.. what does that involve?

Possibly answering the why.. why is it a problem.
The what- what is is problem.. is there really a problem?
What do I do about it or how can i solve it?

My partner and I were paired with our teacher today ( the horse) in my continued training. We were set up to recognize and solve the problem.

What was supposed to be an organized problem, we had chosen to turn into an opportunity, at least at one station. At another station we decided to simplify the challenge therefore it was no longer a problem.

How did we come to those conclusions?
Assessing the situation, seeing the potential in the solution and reorganizing to make it doable.

How do you problem solve?

"CHOICES"

Is having a choice a process for you?

Could making a choice have a negative or positive consequence?

Today in my training, I was faced with a choice.
It took a little time to process the experience before I was able to reach the consequence of my decision.
It was interesting to me the way it internally unfolded from hurt to anger to distrust and settled in compassion.

The CHOICE could've gone positive or negative but I also chose a positive outcome because I want growth.

What choices did you intentionally make today?

What part does "Trust" play in building relationship in your team?

Several years ago I built a team that was amazing! Trust was one of the #1 skills we built to spark the strengths in each individual team member. If we hadn't had trust, there is no way that we would've provided such an amazing experience for our guest and honestly for our team.

My team now consist of my horses ( and my equine assisted learning professional family along with many cheerleaders that see the value in this program). I trust these horses to step up to their position in this program and they trust me to keep them safe and serve them well.
Without trust I don't think we'd have a program.

" I whole heartedly recommend Lantern Lighter Ranch in every way. Tina presents a valuable program that would benefit every person and every group. Life lessons and coping skills taught through the horses is amazing. You learn things about yourself and how to handle situations that you don't even realize you need to know. "
