Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well (and staying dry!) 🙈 . What a dreary, wet spring it's been so far - so terrible for those further north who are affected by the floods as well 😪 . I feel so grateful that we're safe, but I can't shake that rotten, sad, unmotivated, frustrating 'winter blues' feeling that's stuck around. . The positive in that, is that although I can't control the weather, or the situation, I CAN control how I cope with it. . Whenever I'm faced with a problem, I have my little 'feel your feelings' (wah) moment 😅, and then I ask myself what I'm going to do about it. How am I going to look after myself in this moment... Usually the answer is 'I don't fkn know' 😅💁🏼♀️ . In that case, I think about how I would look after a loved one who was feeling sad - that's easy! I'd give them a great big hug, let them get it off their chest, I'd cook for them, I'd do something they enjoy to cheer them up, and then I'd check in with them to make sure they were okay... Why is it so easy to nurture others, but not ourselves? 🙈 . So, today I looked after myself as though I was looking after a loved one, and I think I really needed it! 💕 I cooked a really yummy, healthy lunch, journaled and had a good vent, and then watched a funny movie. . We don't always have to be that goal-smashing superhuman version of ourselves, but we should all get in the practice of being our own best friend when we're feeling down. . Next time you're having a shitty day - give it a go. Think of your nearest, dearest, most special favourite person, and treat yourself just as you'd treat them if they were feeling blue. Make a mess in the kitchen, put your oodie on, vent, and chuck your fave flick on. You deserve it 🥰 . Big love, K xx 😘 . #winterblues #selfcare #kindness #compassion #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #wellbeing #wellness #mum #mumlife #sahm #rainyday #horserider #dressagerider #health #healthyfood #healing #equestrianmum #equestrianblogger #equestrianlife #instagood #mindset #positivity #positivethinking #motivation #inspiration #determination #chasethosedreams https://www.instagram.com/p/CkKW4x4BasZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌟 Sent to Pune for an equestrian camp by my parents, I thought it'd be just a mere summer adventure. But something magical happened - I fell in love with horses and the sport of “Equestrian.” 🏇
🏆 In 2018, I started riding at Goodwill Stud under the strict coaching of Mr. Dinesh Akhade. There, I had the honour to meet the Late Col. G.M Khan, India's first gold medalist in eventing at the 1984 Asian Games and an Arjuna Awardee. With his mentorship, I clinched my first Gold in the Dressage discipline at the Maharashtra Equestrian Games, boosting my confidence immensely.
I diligently continued to practise Dressage and Show-jumping. This is a sport where the horse shares equal merit with the rider. From being thrown off the saddle multiple times during training to nursing a broken collarbone, I learned that controlling a 500kg horse requires not just physical but also mental strength. I represented my academies in local and state-level events, and riding at the Equestrian Premier League in Bangalore has been a highlight of my journey.
👨🎓 Having volunteered at a few club competitions, I realised that the success of a good event lies in its solid on & off-field management expertise. So when I was introduced to IISM, that was precisely where I wanted to be. Having joined this institute and seeing the exposure the students get to the sporting world, this was undoubtedly the best career choice I have made. 🎯
