Horses show me how to take every moment as it comes. They eat, rest, and build collaborative relationships so they’re ready for trouble if it materializes.

As the oncoming car swerved into my lane, I imagined the worst before I calmed myself. As the threat subsided, I noticed the driver was gawking at something on my side of the road.

🐴 Leading or riding a horse is the same way. They go the direction you’re looking. The results can be funny, or frustrating to a nervous rider like me!

🧠 Similarly, your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters out what’s not important to you — 95% of stuff, some say. It primes us to notice what we’re expecting.

Where and how we place our attention creates our reality.

Imagine - or maybe recall - what you notice and act on from a state of calm creativity vs. fear-inspired storytelling.

The good news, you can learn to put yourself in calm creative mode.

The author of a foundational book in horse communication is working with a car company to apply human-horse interaction. Fascinating!

Nissan Motor Corporation has two artificial intelligence research laboratories in Silicon Valley, California, and Yokohama, Japan. I'm honored to be consulting with them by delivering a series of seven workshops that started last night. The two labs work on Nissan vehicles of the future, in which we hope to apply certain principles of horse-human interaction to car-driver interaction. It's a fascinating project, and I'm excited to be part of it. Many thanks to the research lab leaders for offering me this opportunity.
