Week 2 of Resetting Our Bond

Okay, we have our baseline. This is our starting point, and we’re going to build from here. We took a deep dive into what’s working and what isn’t. I enjoyed your messages. Sorry it took me a bit to get to them! One thing I forgot to mention last week is that I need to be honest with myself, and you do too. You’re not helping yourself. You’re hurting yourself if you’re not. I say that in the most loving way possible. I want to see you build a strong bond with your horses. No judgment. What I have realized is that the hardest judgment to overcome is the one we put on ourselves. It’s okay, no matter where you are or where you want to go.

Okay, this is a side note. I planned to do this, so I released a blog post on my reset every week. Well, life had other plans for me. I kept thinking to myself, I have a plan. It starts to work, and then it all seems to fall apart. This has happened a lot in the last few years. I was so frustrated. I know I am meant to go down this path, but the timeline never seems to add up. What am I missing? What is the lesson in this? I finally clicked in the other day. Sometimes you need more time than your mind wants to allow. We are not in control of what happens sometimes, and what is meant for us is bigger than the vision we even had for ourselves, so it can take a minute to come into place.

I am no longer letting my ego tell me I took too long and that I have to forget about that idea. If it is in my heart, it is meant for me, and it will take as long as it takes. If this reset takes me all summer, it takes me all summer. The difference is between it needing more time to unfold and it not being meant for me. It can sometimes feel like a grey area, but if you really sit with it and listen to your inner voice, not your ego, you can tell what is in your heart now vs what you think you should do or what was a past vision of you.

Okay, let’s get into it. To build or strengthen any kind of connection, there has to be room in your life for it. Create space to allow your new connection to grow. I say new because even if you already have a connection, it helps to think of it as brand new, so you truly meet the bond as it is now, not how it was in the past. You are probably not the same person, and your animal isn’t either. Let’s get rid of what no longer serves the bond and grow what does.

Our lives are full, whether of things that serve us or not. Space will always be filled. So when we want to create something new, we have to let go in order to make space in our own lives. Whether that is physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.

This is something you are going to have to sit with, because every situation and bond is different. What needs to be released is different, or what you need more of is different. So you will have to dig deep to figure that out for yourself, but here are some examples of what I am releasing. This may be similar to you or completely different. It is what resonates and aligns with you in this present time and space of your life.

What am I releasing

I am releasing the rider, the horse girl I was, because I am no longer her. But when I go to ride, I act like her, which is not true to myself. My horses see right through that, and until I release the idea of her from my mind, a grey fog will get in the way of feeling in tune with my beautiful horses. I honestly think differently and my physically body does not feel the same as it used to be. It not a bad thing I like the new person I have become but I have to change my life to fit her now.

I also feel the urge to get back to my son. Sometimes, when I leave my boy, if someone says not to be too long, or if it’s just my own brain telling me I can’t be too long, it affects my ability to be present. It ok to take time for me, just like it's good for my son to spend time with other people. The mom guilty though can be so hard to navigate

Ok, these are just some of my current feelings; they could be completely different for you, but that doesn’t mean we can’t go on this journey together.

Side thought

You might wonder why I am so focused on doing this. As many of you know, I have been an animal communicator for over 10 years, and I have loved helping people deepen their connection with their 4-legged partners. This is one thing I keep seeing with my clients, and now I am experiencing it more than ever myself. You have a gut feeling or a voice in your head telling you something about your animal, but there is no physical proof to back it up, so you talk yourself out of it. The thought keeps coming back, or maybe something is going wrong with your animal, but you still can’t trust it. A lot of my communication sessions confirm what my clients already know deep down. It is just about trusting it. Now, with my own animals, I am trying to figure out what my emotions are and what they are trying to communicate with me. So, this reset is the first step in my personal journey to help people and myself again become more in tune with their inner voice and open the channel between animal and person. All you need is within you at this very moment. You just must allow it.

I can’t wait to hear the ways you are creating space for your bond to grow and flourish with your partner in crime. As always, thanks for coming along for the ride with me!

With Light and Love,
