But when I boarded, I just didn't worry about it. People talk about you less than you think they do, and no matter what, someone will always have something not so nice to say. The best you can ever do is not participate. And of course, ENJOY YOUR PONY TIME! Don't let anyone keep you from that!jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-28168133779754439792015-03-07T10:03:53.060+01:002015-03-07T10:03:53.060+01:00Love the quotes - thanks so much for your very kin...Love the quotes - thanks so much for your very kind pep talk Erika *hugs*<br />I have always readily admitted to suckling for that very reason - how can we hope to improve if we already think ourselves the shiz?!<br />I may take things too far and thunk myself sucker than I appear - but when my mind games finally recognise progress it will hopefully be awesome ☺Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-24966712518741389732015-03-07T10:01:45.197+01:002015-03-07T10:01:45.197+01:00I'm hoping the longer days and warmer weather ...I'm hoping the longer days and warmer weather will be the liberating swift kick to he backside i need!<br />DST is a little longer in coming to Europe though...i think our clocks change at the end of the month - boo to waiting!Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-882833839191719912015-03-07T10:00:24.450+01:002015-03-07T10:00:24.450+01:00True pointsTrue pointsAoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-36253158717757500262015-03-07T10:00:03.030+01:002015-03-07T10:00:03.030+01:00Dunno if it is an Americanism but i have heard it ...Dunno if it is an Americanism but i have heard it before and plan to do just that.

The only way I can get over it is to accept it as a real possibility and decide not to give a shit. Yes, it's possible, maybe even probable, that they're talking about you. But it doesn't matter! You're awesome! Your ponies are awesome! I'm a big fan of quotes to make me feel better and here are two that might help:<br /><br />Context (the one about sucking is if you're insecure about your riding - something I have issues with, but I'm not sure if you do)<br /><br />"Dude, sucking at something is the first step to being sort of good at something"<br /><br />AND<br /><br />"You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be someone who hates peaches" Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862898176284766826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-80563533816042910342015-03-07T03:24:56.580+01:002015-03-07T03:24:56.580+01:00sorry to hear that the negativity from others has ...sorry to hear that the negativity from others has been spoiling your enjoyment of pony time!! good luck rising above it all and and keeping positive!!! hopefully the longer days and warming weather will be more motivating!!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-56868484749208133462015-03-07T01:52:28.621+01:002015-03-07T01:52:28.621+01:00I think we all worry about what other horse people...I think we all worry about what other horse people may think of us, whether it's at the barn or on the internet!<br /><br />At my barn, it seems like we all gossip about one another occasionally or vent frustrations sometimes, but at the end of the day, we do like and respect one another and no harm comes from the talk.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140631127593549541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-74418473129531296772015-03-06T23:16:56.356+01:002015-03-06T23:16:56.356+01:00Way to decide to take life by the horns (americani...Way to decide to take life by the horns (americanism?)

I often have to tell myself that no one controls my emotions but me. So don't listen to the saboteur/editor/critic, nurture the good kind positive voice!

Sounds like you know what you need to do...more barn time and don't worry about what anyone else might think! I find if I am focused and busy with my horses I'm happier in general and less apt to have time to worry about anything or get down on myself. Here's to a happy and productive spring season ! :)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-29205955126332300922015-03-06T22:10:06.261+01:002015-03-06T22:10:06.261+01:00I've totally been here.
