Spirit animal refers to a spirit that helps guide or protect us on a journey and whose characteristics that person shares or embodies.
We can use the spirit animal to change our mental state
It’s a trick ultra runners use, but it could be used for anyone going through something.
In ultra’s the pain is real, visualizing yourself as a Mongolian horse – for example – with incredible stamina, can ease the pain
Of course, we’re not actually a Mongolian horse, or doing something along the lines of furries, but it’s seeing ourselves – in our mind’s eye – as a Mongolian horse
there’s a fine line, and who cares if it gets crossed?
It can be any animal too: a butterfly, pitbull, arctic tern, elephant, sheep, beluga whale, cat, owl, tiger, bear, eagle, dragon
Whatever fits in the time of need – let your imagination go wild.
What’s your spirit animal?
