Episode 203 – The Practice of Connection over Control


 


Another road riff episode!


It’s Sunday morning, 8:23 am as I record this and I’m heading out to my therapeutic horseback riding lessons. After a difficult week, I’ve got some insights and lessons settling into my bones.  There might be a few tears! 


Y’all know everything has an analogy, right?

It’s not even an analogy, life just repeats itself in so many patterns and I see and experience the patterns and love sharing these connections with you – so that we can all SELF-connect a bit more deeply in our lives. (PS…seeing and making connections is an ADHD thing). 


Today’s episode topic is control or connection and lessons the horses, and life are teaching me.


The skills of connection over control and protection are new for many of us and they require compassionate practice. 


Time on task gives us the experience of moving from controlling a situation to connecting and moving through it.

It takes us from trying to do something to becoming one with doing something.  I hope you enjoy the episode – from my tender heart to yours. 


Love,


Allison Crow
