Congruence

Horses demand congruence in the people around them. They act up in the face of incongruence. They can be dangereous. So can incongruence.

Last week, my emotions went in a funny direction that left me feeling a bit confused. I wasn't sad, unhappy, angry..... but I was anxious. Mildly anxious. I couldn't attatch it to anything, so I fell back on my deeply ingrained response...... Denial.

I'm fine. I'm ok. I'm happy. I'm good.

Not a serious lie, but incongruent.

I got kicked. Not bad, just a loud and clear "hey!" from my horse April. Right arm, just below the elbo.

If I am not happy going into the barn, and I'm not able or not willing to start where I am, then I won't be happy coming out of the barn. Get where you are. All of you. Stop the Denial and get congruent. They don't care how you are, they just demand an emotional honesty.
