I understand the usefulness of setting yourself targets, but it does p me of a bit, when I am constantly being asked about my goals!! I personally hate being NLP ed! It clicked the other day when I was having a 1 to 1 with my line manager at work, who is great by the way and we needed to set my performance objectives for the next 12 months, annoying but necessary onerous task, in the work environment, when we are all really busy anyway ....
So wtf should I have to set them and monitor them and so on and so on, in my own time, which is suppose to be fun iām A journey not the destination type of person, and if pushed my main horsey goal is to always ensure that my horses are well and happy (equine specific), I have been following this v nice young man on FB, and he summed it up, check out Ben Atkinson FB page post titled Journey before destination.
Rant over ... for the time being š

Glad you got that off your chest! I'm the same... I think of setting plans in sand...

Plans are always fluid here too, depends very much on the day. I think as long as you aren't too rigid and you can get a flow going with the horse you're working with it's better to take each interaction as it it comes? I certainly get more out of sessions this way, and my horse is calm and happy to work with me- so I guess that's a sort of 'goal'??
I'm not a goal driven person- this is not to say, I do not understand that there are parameters within what I'm trying to achieve that I have to adhere to, just so things 'happen' the way I'm wanting them to. However, I hate targets? I think that it's ok for those that want or need to 'get the job done'. I prefer to look at things in a bigger context- however small my achievements with my horse on the outside, only I can truly understand the magnitude of their effect on our relationship.
My horse also does not respond to training to 'goals' he prefers that things are not set in stone. Too much pressure and he panics and just retreats in to himself (being an Arab- he also worries about getting in wrong) and things have to be worked out to HIS time, not mine.
Sometimes the equine world just gets too fast for me and I want to get off.....
