- Self-Improvement
Welcome to Episode 8 of Parables: Life Lessons From a Horse where we are talking about creativity and routine.
Over the past year, I have been consistent with Para—Playing with him regularly, setting goals and always showing up. Pretty quickly, though, I felt that our progress together plateaued and boredom set in... For both of us. Boredom then started manifesting itself into unfavorable behavior from him and I began to wonder "What is the answer?"
Through self-reflection of my own life, I soon discovered the answer was creativity, variety and learning!
Since changing my perspective for Para, I have begun challenging him through creative activities, learning new things and always keeping it fun. I'm glad to report that we are back on the upward trend of improvement.
Our guest today shares about creativity and how we can all learn to embrace it.
