Now that we’re halfway through January you might wonder if horses make resolutions. Do you remember the resolutions you declared? Either way, if you’ve read previous discussions here you would guess horses do not put much effort in improving their health, finances, or mental status. Why would you when you’re already perfect and life is great, right?
Discussions about resolutions can lead to the topic of habits. After all, don’t we humans make resolutions to change bad habits and attempt to adapt what we perceive to be productive and beneficial habits? Where does all this want for personal improvement originate and does the pressure of failure to attain these changes make the process worthwhile? Not reaching lofty goals can be as much fun as being an ant on the pile after little Johnny gets a new magnifying glass.
An honest person would agree that nobody walking the earth is perfect. This same reasonable individual would argue that we should consider goals that will hopefully make one a better citizen and approach a purely altruistic view of the world. It is time for some good news. To relieve the pressure, it would be sound advice to seek help, the kind of therapist that can assist you to better understand your place in this world, that you are worthy and capable of regaining the reins on what seems to be a runaway. Some would argue that horses are never wrong, they are perfect and more than able to help. Even better news is these therapists are available right now. They are non-judgmental, fuzzy, give great hugs, don’t yell, listen better than any human and are always willing to provide keen insight. Equines to the rescue!
East Point Horspice is developing a program to utilize the herd as the main component of a horse/human relationship to facilitate recovery from trauma indignantly served by a life event. If trauma has caused the acceptance of unhealthy habits that cannot be cured with a hollow resolution you might be a candidate to have a date with the horses. As stated, the program is in its infancy and EPH is welcoming all who feel they would benefit from a trauma recovery conversation. This program will not be based on horsemanship abilities and will not require previous horse experience. Rather, this program centers on the relationship between a horse and participant with the premise that an equine is the conduit to assist you in appreciating how a traumatic event can be overcome. It is possible to release the burden of previous life challenges through the utilization of horses and their remarkable caring nature.
The EPH herd is here to help. If you’d like to get in on the ground floor of a personal growth opportunity with the genuine possibility of making a life-changing course direction you are encouraged to contact Charlene at (308) 762-3848 or eph@bbc.net. The life you help could very well be your own.
