ADVICE

Learn To Say No Confidently

  • Avoid forcing yourself to attend social events that remind you why you don't enjoy them.
ADVICE

Troubleshoot A Silent Horse

  • If your horse is ignoring you, reflect on whether you may have unintentionally upset it and search your own actions.
  • Try mirroring how you address trusted objects (like a Land Rover) and use calming, consistent gestures or treats.
ADVICE

Prefer Medium Eggs

  • Cook eggs medium: four-minute boiled, over-easy fried, or medium-poached for ideal texture.
  • Prefer boiled eggs and use an egg cup when staying in hotels to avoid coffee-cup substitutes.
