Sometimes if I have a few minutes to do something for myself (that I enjoy) I can talk myself out of it because I only have a few minutes. I’ll think oh, that’s a lot of trouble for the time and effort it will take …However, it’s often worth it to take the minutes you have to do whatever it is that will compliment your day! I’ve never taken the little bit of free time I had to do something I like and then regretted it! So if you have a few moments in your day, use them for something you enjoy! It’s those few minutes that can push you over the threshold from having an ok day to a great day! 😘
Sometimes when I don’t have time to ride I can still put O (or any of the horses) on the lunge line. This saves me some time from having to do as much grooming and tacking up, but it gives me an opportunity to help the horse on the lunge line strengthen in fitness, gain balance, listen for and obey my voice commands, and helps grow our relationship with each other. It is important to not overdue lunge work as circles can put increased stress on the joints of horses, but in moderation it is a great adjunct training tool for the horse and horse handler. 🥰 Squeezing in any exercises with my horses enhances my day.
Take time today to fill your free moments with something you like. Even if it has to be an abbreviated version. Everyone benefits when we do things to increase our mood and activity levels. A positive attitude makes your interactions with everyone else around you more positive and these types of small changes can change your world. 💜
