How do I stop thinking "What if?"

from Turn Riding Fear Around · host Elise Hittinger

What if the goal isn't to stop the What Ifs? In this episode of Turn Riding Fear Around, we're looking at those "What if?" thoughts a little differently. Your brain is asking them for a reason. It wants to keep you safe. Instead of leaving the question unanswered, you can give your brain something much more useful—a plan. If riding anxiety has your brain jumping from one What if? to the next, this episode will help you turn those questions into something you can actually use. Because "What if?" doesn't have to be the end of the conversation. In this episode, you'll learn:• Listen to your What if? - What is it trying to tell you?• Answer it with What's the plan? - Know what you will do.• Let your plan become your confidence. Your What Ifs have information. Listen. Answer. Make a plan. When you're ready to turn your riding What Ifs into a plan that's right for you, I'd love to help. A Calm-Ride Strategy Call gives us a chance to look at what's happening in your riding and create your next step toward enjoying it again.  https://elisehittinger.com/scheduler/calm-ride-strategy And if you'd like to keep going, explore the Turn Riding Fear Around playlist on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@elisehittingerCH )—and keep training courage into your riding. ????????
