Yay! We made it to another episode of the Weekend Hustle Podcast. My name is Shelby Oleschleger, and I'll be your host as we dive into barrel racers, athletes, and just people of the world to share, motivate, and inspire Saul to be the best that we can be. Hello everybody. This is Shelby Oleschleiger coming at you with another podcast episode. So thank you so much for tuning in. And I just want to let you know that today is going to be about pressure. And sometimes we feel pressure in a lot of interesting ways. So we're going to go over some of the ways that I have personally felt it and how I've been able to get over those hurdles of feeling pressure and how it really doesn't actually allow us to grow. Feeling pressure in ways that we should be somewhere else. And I've talked about the thought of should, how we should have that, how we should be somewhere, we should be farther ahead, we should be getting it together by now. I should be running in the 2D with my horse already. All these things that are we might be unconsciously aware that are putting pressure on ourselves in a negative way of saying that I should have, I should be where why can't we just be? Nothing grows in the energy of thinking that the pressure. Nothing can grow in a space of shoulds. And I want to actually clarify that pressure isn't a bad thing. You know, the phrase of, oh, a pearl is created by the pressure of a clam, and diamonds are created by the pressure and stress of the rocks and the compression of all this stuff, that pressure just creates that beautiful gem. And I do think that in that sense, I would relate that to hardships and going through obstacles that will give us lessons to flourish and to grow. But this pressure I'm talking about is more of that external pressure that makes us feel an internal resistance of being uneasy with our process and feeling we are not where we're supposed to be, which is never the case. Sometimes we might feel off track, but sometimes that off-trackness is that that rock creating that diamond. And we need those rocks sometimes to create our own new paths and our own realization so we can grow and evolve into that diamond. But this pressure today is more of that needing of that outside that's determining our internal. So I just realize as I'm going through my own business journey and this purpose journey, I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself. I feel, oh my God, I need to get this going already. I feel behind. It's not working. And do you see that energy in that statement or those statements of it's just not productive? It's stating facts that are not always going to be my reality. And by stating those facts, I think we stay in that reality a lot longer than we need to because we're kind of festering in that space, that festering of I am not there. And what can we do to change that? So if you feel pressure coming from yourself or from others, this is your message. In order to naturally progress in the right alignment, that's for you. You need to allow, you need to do the work naturally, day by day, moment to moment. Instead of pressure, your goal is to breathe. Breathe in and breathe out. So let's do it now. Breathe in, sit up tall, breathe in to your lower belly. Put your hand there if you want to feel it expand as you breathe in through your nose. Exhale as your stomach just collapses a little bit. Feel that with everything that you do, it will turn out okay and you're not done. And you're never gonna reach this quote finish line that all of a sudden will release you of these pressures. These pressures are something that we create. You can also choose right now to not create it. What does that feel like? Feel at ease within this process. It feels like you are where you're supposed to be. Without pressure, there's enjoyment no matter what. No matter if you win or you lose, you're able to think clear enough to see the lessons and grow within it all. So, what do you think? Do you need these certain things? Will they release you from your pressure if you actually achieve them? What is it that you really want? And what is this pressure telling you? These are the questions that I want you to start asking yourself and really identify these pressures and what they truly mean and how we can uncover in a way that will turn us into these diamonds and turn us into this growth that we are intended to become. And this is my little heart-to-heart message for you all. And I hope that we will start identifying the healthy pressure and the unhealthy pressure, the health, the pressure that allows us to grow and the pressure that forces us to stay where we are and really inhibits us to expand our perspectives and to expand ourselves into the ultimate version that we want to become. We all can do our part here to just raise the vibrational frequency. And I was told that once as a part of my purpose, and I really hold it close to my heart raising our vibrational frequency. How can we raise each other and raise ourselves in a way that allows more love, more support, more encouragement, more growth, more serenity within this journey that we're on? So not to be too deep there, but just happy Monday. Moving on, I do want to say obviously I'm a barrel racer and I have done quite a lot of training. I give lessons, I've had clinics, done one-on-one, helped people virtually just through Zoom. And today, actually, I just finally finished and launched a barrel racing course for all my fellow riders and barrel racers that are looking to develop a feel that they can start training and really unlocking the full potential within yourself and also your horses in the arena. It's pretty small, but it's very jam-packed, very direct information that will help you again get the feel more than anything. I'm very much of a feel person, as you can imagine. I don't take just learning and being told, I really need to feel it to understand and to really grasp the concepts that I'm being told. So throughout my own trial and error experience of barrel racing and learning from others and figuring it out for myself, I've developed this feel that I always fall back on. If I'm confused about something or something's not working with my riding, I resort to how do I develop the feel again? How do I tap back into this feeling? And that is exactly what I'm going to teach you in this course is how to gain that feel, how you can start becoming more aware and mindful and intuitive when you're riding and barrel racing. Obviously, that's our goal, but just riding in general, how you can get on your horse and start understanding body movement, how I influence my horse, how you influence your horse, how we can relate that to the pattern and how we always train for the end goal in mind. So we want to have consistent, fast, fun, easy, effortless barrel racing. That's my goal. And I hope that's part of your goal as well. So for me, I've developed this strategy of how we can work backwards to really achieve that. And I'm gonna give that all to you in this course. It's the price of a weekend clinic. It's not even that expensive, but I want you to get it and learn from the comfort of your wherever your laptop is sitting. You can watch these videos, go through the trainings, apply it, get in our Facebook community. We can talk about it, we can learn and just grow that awareness that will help us with our riding and brow racing. So I hope this sounds interesting, interesting for you. The link will be below. It's also on Facebook, it's on Instagram, it's on the website. If you just want to go to weekendhustle.com, you can see the course page, you can enroll right there, get instant access, and you can start to take the next step to becoming your best trainer, your best rider for you and your horse. I think you're gonna love it. And that's my little promo in here that is my gift, my way to offer something into the world that I think is of value. That is, you know, the things that I've learned that I'm gonna share to you. And, you know, I just love being able to connect with you. And if you give me the opportunity to be a part of your journey, I'm just forever grateful for that. Part of it is this course. So it's my offering, it's for you. Check it out. Again, the link below. We can hustle. We got this. So have a great day. Enjoy yourself, and we will talk soon. This is bye for now.
