Discouragement & Bonding

      If you are on a bonding journey, at some point, it might become discouraging. It's normal to feel a full range of emotions during the process. Discouragement, frustration, sadness, anger, and overall anxiety are emotions to try to avoid during face-to-face bonding sessions. Each emotion releases a scent that bunnies can detect. Since they also experience those feelings and equate them with fear, when they smell fear-centered hormones from you, it causes them to fear also. Fear will stop bonding progress. Unfortunately, frustration and anxiety are common normal emotions that are difficult not to experience especially when bonding doesn't go as expected. Some tips to avoid when beginning to go down the path to discouragement:
    1. remind yourself that bunnies operate on a different timeframe than people do.
    2. heaps of patience is necessary in all part of bonding
    3. each day brings opportunities for results
    4. remind yourself of your commitment to their happiness
    4. if you hire me as your coach, I will listen to your concerns and offer helpful tips to solve issues.
   The best gift you can give bunnies during bonding is to remain calm and confident, gentle and loving. Push through thoughts of frustration and visualize the end goal of having free roaming bunny friends.
