019: Competition Rituals and Breathwork
So this week I just returned from yet another Horse jumping competition, yes fun fact I ride horses and I compete in hunter jumper and jumping competitions with my horse. I always say you find your greatest teachers in the most unexpected places and I have to tell you, Nacco - my horse, is most definitely one of my greatest teachers. In just 8 months of our time together I have learned so much from him. He is very sensitive and very emotional and he tunes into my emotions. So the more mindful and calm I am, the better, but the more anxious or upset I get, the worse. He teaches me to breathe, to calm my nervous system, to relax and to connect to him. He notices every detail of my riding so he also teaches me to be absolutely present in every movement.
Competitions bring on a lot of stress, anxiety and emotions and I have found that there is no better place to remember my rituals and breathwork practices. In this episode I share the most valuable practices I use to prepare for competitions.
Episode Highlights:
- Horse jumping competitions
- Pre-competitions rituals
- How to deal with anxiety and stress
- Breathwork for competitions and high stress situations like a performance or big speech at work
- Unexpected teachers
