Negative nancy positive patty how to#
Whenever a negative thought creeps into your head, simply have a mind's eye visual of how to not accept it.
She is setting herself up for more of the same. This only adds to the negative "movie" program in Nancy's head. She spends days replaying and focusing on her horse jigging and how horrible that made her feel. Negative Nancy says to herself, "I knew he was going to do that". She is excited about her plan and sees her goals getting closer. Positive Patty decides that she needs to get her horse to some local schooling shows so he becomes acclimated to show ground stress. We keep our mind on a positive track with positive self talk.
We turn it into a positive."now I know what we need to work on." We ask ourselves, "what can I learn from this experience and how do I solve this problem? Then we put that into action to reach our goal. So what if your horse does jig into a trot during his test? We take responsibility."I should have worked on this more". "I am confident that he will have a great relaxed ride". "I will remain calm and relaxed and then my horse will relax as well". All those days before the test, instead of programming our head with the negative outcome of breaking into the trot, we replace with the calm positive outcome of a nice relaxed walk. Does that mean that if we are worried that our horse may over react and break into the trot during the test that we ignore it? No, not at all. This of coarse is a very simplistic example but how true! She enters the arena calm and confident which is relayed to her horse and they have an exceptional ride. On the other hand, Positive Patty has been using her Equi-Energy Gems to program her head with positive thoughts about how her horse is going to "crush" his dressage test. On the day of her test she is tense and worried every time they walk and low and behold, her tension is actually giving her horse the signal to tense up and break into the trot. Days before her dressage test Negative Nancy is worried that her horse will keep breaking into a trot from a walk because of his tension at the show ground surroundings and unfortunately, she keeps programing that into her head by thinking about it. Let's take two dressage competitors, Negative Nancy and Positive Patty. But lets talk about how the power of positive thought works first. Sound familiar? That's where your Equi-Energy Gem Malas come in. It gets "put on the back burner" of my mind. I know because I live it! Though I realize how important the power of positive thought is to my success, my mind gets so busy with multitasking that I forget to give it the attention it deserves. What time should I braid? Are my boots clean? Did I pack my gloves? The list goes on and on. Is my trailer inspected? Can we get the ring dragged? When is the blacksmith coming? Then at the competition it starts all over with more. There are always so many things to think about that our positive intentions can fall by the wayside. The power of positive thinking is not a new concept but one, as busy equestrians, that we sometimes lose sight of. Perhaps you have read books by Vincent Normal Peal or watched "The Secret".
