Develop Your SuperPower in 3 Simple Steps
Consistency is your SuperPower! Use it! In training animals, in developing a strong bond with your horse and getting your horse fit.
Here’s how you develop Consistency
By making small steps every day!
If you skip a day, no worries. Just get on with it (whatever your “it” is) the next day. No guilt. Be gentle to yourself.
Here is what will happen
You’ll start to see changes
It becomes easier over time
It becomes fun!
You’ll get results!
Then you’ll feel MORE motivated
Then it becomes EASIER to keep going
Soon, you don’t want to break your streak.
3 Magic Ingredients to Make it Work
1- Start SMALL
Like handwalking your horse for only 10 minutes a day (if you’d like to join the 10/10 Hand walk Your Horse Challenge, click here)
2- Five ways to make it EASY
Set a time
Plan in your walks for the next 10 days (after that, you can decide to do it again or stop).
Having an end date on your “exercise goals for your horse” will help you get started. Without an end-date or end goal, you set yourself up for failure (until my horse is “fit” is not a well-defined goal, because there are so many other factors that play a role)
Do this together for accountability
Set up a visible REMINDER in your environment: Place your halter and your Progress Tracker where you WILL see it, so you won’t forget.
3- KEEP TRACK of your Accomplishments
Make your progress visible! Put a big green check mark on your tracking sheet. There is a Progress Tracker sheet included in the 10/10 Challenge.
Put your green marker next to your Progress Tracker for easy check marks each day!
By making it tangible you can litteraly SEE your progress! 1 checkmark, then 2, then 8 and so on
Celebrate your SUCCESS and your FAILURES. ‘Failures’ are just Learning Points: learn from them! Discover “why” you didn’t make it that day. What happened? can you prevent it? Was it because of “life happens” /external circumstances? Be gentle with yourself: forgive.
Secret Ingredient for Success
The “Never skip twice in a row”. I learned this from David Goggins.
This allows you a day off.
It makes it easy to stay consistent. Even when you only walk the “even” or the “uneven” days, you’re STILL doing it.
The turtle wins the race because of her Superpower: consistency!
