Welcome to Stockmanship for The Mind. A podcast hosted by The State of Mind Consultancy, primarily aimed at farmers, rural professionals and all countryside folk (although you might also like it if you’re town/city based too!)
I’m sharing a completely new, and radical understanding of the mind, known as the 3 Principles (more on what they are later…) alternatively known as The Inside Out Understanding.
I’m sharing where our experience comes from, I mean, really comes from. It looks like its coming from life, right? Relationships, work, friends, family… Here’s the thing, its coming from inside you. Yes thats right, that feeling you’re having right now, its from inside you.
How does that relate to rural life and farming? Well, it relates to staff, family, your husband/wife/partner, how you handle pressure. It’s just that in farming, our state of mind, and the results of that, are more obvious because there’s a ton of pressure, a million things to do and there’s nowhere to hide.
And the best news… all you have to do is listen! As best you can, listen with nothing on your mind. Don’t take notes, just let it soak in and see what new and fresh thinking occurs to you.

Being Human - Chat with Jo Blackburn from Shropshire Rural Support
In this episode I chat with Jo Blackburn, the pastoral coordinator from Shropshire Rural Support. We talk about the often bumpy road of rural life and how that affect our headspace.
How Do I Get Into A Better Headspace?
We all know that life feels waaaay better in a good headspace. Do we get a good headspace as a result of life going well, achieving our goals and having less problems to contend with? Maybe.
What if it works the other way around?

A Fresh Perspective On An Old Problem - Is It Possible?
We all have issues that go round our head, things that we worry about or ideals that we feel we need to live up to. Sometimes, it feels if we were to let that go, we would be being irresponsible or not doing our best.
When we've seen something a certain way for a long time, it feels crazy to us that there is an entirely new perspective available to us - to us, it just seems 'that's the way it is.'
When we get fresh thinking, it is often quite suprising to us, it always leads us to a new perspective, even on an old problem - but is it really possible?
What On Earth Are The 3 Principles Anyway??
There are basic principles behind life, when we begin to understand them everything makes more sense.
The Three Principles, also known as the Inside-Out Understanding, describe the essential elements behind our human experience. They have always been true—since the dawn of time. Throughout history, wise individuals have understood how people truly work. The rest of us are simply catching up.
These principles were articulated in the 1970s by Sydney Banks. Since then, this understanding has spread worldwide. It is shared with CEOs of major corporations, the US military, prisoners, and individuals facing challenges such as mental illness and addiction—as well as with everyday people who simply want to feel better and live more fulfilling lives.
We live in a world of thought. Our consciousness brings those thoughts to life, making them appear real. When we don’t realise this, we can easily get caught up in the illusion. But as we begin to see through it, clearer thinking and a deeper sense of well-being—often referred to as Mind—are always available to us.

What if I’m Neurodiverse? A Conversation with Karen Fisher.
In this podcast I discuss neurodivergence and the nervous system with Karen Fisher, Farm Advisor for the Soil Association and neurodivergence and LGBTQ consultant for the rural industries.
How does it affect our view of life if we are neurodivergent? What if underneath we are all the same? Does it bring extra challenges? A superpower?

Is All our Thinking True?
Have you ever noticed that sometimes our thinking is really helpful and other times it’s our own worst enemy? Have you ever been stuck in some negative thinking and it felt horrible? What if the thinking that feels bad is also completely unhelpful? Should we always believe everything we think? What should we do if it seems our thinking might be off track?

Does Mood Matter?
Can a mood affect the way we think? Can it affect the decisions we make?
Our moods go up and down all the time, like a rollercoaster, and very often we don't even realise its happening. Could a mood make everything look better... or worse... than it really is?
We all have good days and bad days…right? Are some days better than others for making decisions?
In this episode, we have a look at mood and how it affects our decision making, communication, relationships and our view of life .

Stockmanship For the Mind Podcast is Now Live!
Welcome to Stockmanship for The Mind a new podcast run by me, Becky Tavernor aimed primarily at farmers, rural professionals and all countryside folk (although you might also like it if you’re town/city based too!)
I’m sharing a completely new and radical understanding of the mind, known as the 3 Principles (more on what they are later…) or alternatively called The Inside Out Understanding.
What if our thoughts can’t always be trusted? And how do we truly tell the difference between helpful and unhelpful thinking?
What if that simple distinction is really all that’s needed to improve our decision making, improve our relationships, enjoy life more and, just do better?
How does that relate to rural life and farming? In every way! Whether it’s managing staff, improving family relations, making better business decisions, dealing with challenges more easily or just feeling better and having more verve… a simple change in understanding is all it takes.
And the best news… all you have to do is listen! As best you can, listen with nothing on your mind. Don’t take notes, just let it soak in and see what new and fresh thinking occurs to you.
