Are You Living with an Imaginary Clock? - #247
Life has a way of reminding us what truly matters.
In this heartfelt episode of the Equestrian Performance Mindset Podcast, I and Lorna return after taking time away following the heartbreaking loss of two riders in the eventing community. Together, we reflect on grief, gratitude, and the importance of being fully present in the life we're living today. Too often, we tell ourselves: "I'll be happy when..." When we qualify. When we achieve the next goal. When we feel more confident. When everything finally goes to plan. But what if we're already living the life our younger selves dreamed about?
This conversation is a gentle reminder to stop rushing through the present in pursuit of the next milestone, and instead appreciate the experiences, the people, and the moments that make life meaningful. Whether you're working towards a big competition, chasing ambitious goals, or simply navigating life's challenges, this episode will encourage you to slow down, reflect, and embrace the journey.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why "I'll be happy when..." keeps moving further away
- How to stop missing the life you're already living
- The importance of being present in every ride and every moment
- Why goals should give you direction, not postpone your happiness
- A simple question that can instantly shift your perspective
- How gratitude changes the way you experience competition
- Why every experience, good or bad, deserves to be fully lived
- How loss can remind us what truly matters most
- The mindset shift that helps you enjoy the journey instead of only chasing results
