The girl in limbo

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤...

𝘞𝘦’𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘰, 𝘰𝘧 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨. Well this is me and has been me for the past few months and I thought I’d share how it’s completely normal to be in “limbo” and how it feels for me.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 was created to stop the negative stigma around being nervous when riding. It was created to hopefully change the equine world for the better, when I first created 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 that was my one and only goal. I feel like we’ve reached that goal and achieved so much more! We started off we just 10 followers (mostly my friends and family) now we have over 1k, we have people who read our posts daily. We have followers who have achieved more than they thought they could because of this page. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙧 is like my baby and I’m just so proud of how far it’s come.

But if you know me this isn’t enough, I want to make a huge difference, I want to create a name for myself. I want to be that person people come to when they are feeling very 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 about riding. People say Rome wasn’t built in a day, but for me waiting for it to happen is just not the answer.

I’m on cross roads with my life which is causing me to be in 𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤, I feel nothing is progressing, I’m just stuck on a roundabout going round and round.

𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤 is a horrific feeling of under achieving, being unsure of the future. Not knowing your next steps, restless nights and stressful days...

But today I had a tiny break from the 𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤 feeling, when I was speaking to one of the ladies at the yard and I said I’ve only been riding for three years, her reply shocked me. She said “𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺?! 𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳!” I don’t ever give myself compliments, I don’t look at myself as a good rider I don’t even look at myself as a Ok rider. I look at myself as a work in progress, but her saying that to me just made me realise my hard work is paying off. That even though I feel I’m not progressing and stuck on a roundabout I must be improving in some ways.

So no 𝙍𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙖 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙙𝙖𝙮, but if you keep chipping away at your goals you’ll soon be out of limbo and where you want to be in life...
