Keeping Balanced Will Help You Post
Experience in sport can help you when off the field, when you are finding the pace difficult to keep up with off the track.
As time has been my teacher, my lessons as a participant in Social Media continue to grow, too. Similar to an athlete, you can control the energy you put into your posts, however your audience may not always keep up with you. Keeping your audience on track requires their participation and your guidance.
One sport that is beneficial in learning balance is horse riding. Where some people prefer western riding as the saddle is more comfortable and gives a deeper seat, my sisters and I were taught to horse ride using the English method. This method uses different saddles depending upon the given discipline , and the requirement to post (rise up and down to the trot) on the horses diagonal. You do not learn to post to the trot before you can balance at the walk. You get your balance from your horse. To do this you must be aware of the aids you give. When asking to change pace or direction, you prepare yourself to give a clear instruction to the horse. A well schooled horse is trained to listen to your aids. Between the two of you, you perform together to get the desired result. This way your audience can keep up with your performance. You don't expect a good result if you cannot communicate your aids to your horse. Similarly if your horse is not listening to your aids, the results can be misinterpreted by your audience and, if you are being judged you may be marked poorly. Horse riding taught me that by keeping your balance when posting, the journey is more comfortable for you and your audience.
When sharing space on the various blogging platforms available, we must give credit to having a good seat to keep one instep with their audience.
Give praise to your audience as without them, one cannot post.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
