Avoidance

We all try and avoid things in our lives. None of us want to feel uncomfortable or even in pain. And yet by avoiding these things we actually create more uncomfortableness and pain. And then we try and avoid more and we end up creating more of what we don’t want. We are taught in our families, our communities, our cultures, and in the world that we should avoid anything that makes us uncomfortable and feel pain. But that is not how life works. Life is part pain and part joy. There is the saying,” you must go through the storm to find the rainbow.” You can’t have the rainbow without the storm. It just doesn’t work no matter what you do or do not do. Of course no one likes to be uncomfortable or in pain and yet that is what we must go through, rather than avoid and hang onto, in order to get to the joy and happiness. That is the cycle of life. And the more we avoid and hang onto the uncomfortable and painful things, the more we miss out on the other side of life. The joy, the happiness, the peace and the balance. If you avoid the “not so good stuff,” you are also avoiding the “good stuff.” And that is a tragedy in itself. 

Namaste, my friends.

Are you avoiding “tough things” ion your life because you are trying to avoid the “bad stuff?” Are you hanging onto things that no longer serve your greater good? Want to learn how to move through the “tough stuff” and get to the “good stuff” in a healthier way? Then look to horses and equine assisted learning and therapy. You see, horses have an amazing ability to mirror and reflect our internal state of being. They do not judge us. They just mirror what’s going on inside of us at the moment. They help us see our “blind spots” to help us learn, grow and heal the parts of us that keep us disconnected from self and others. Want to know more about this amazing, sustainable way of healing?
