What to Say to Your Brain When Anxiety Shows Up

Maybe it happens at the mounting block, heading out on the trail, when your horse starts moving faster, or stepping into the show ring. Your heart starts racing, your palms start sweating, and suddenly your brain is telling you stories that aren’t helping. In this episode of Turn Riding Fear Around, I share how to talk to your brain when riding anxiety shows up—and how to train your mind and body to trust your leadership again. You’ll learn how to:• Name what’s happening• Tell your brain the truth• Give your body a job Because your brain has one job—to keep you safe… not necessarily to keep you happy. And just like anything we’ve trained… we can train something new.If you’re ready to train calm confidence into your riding,I’d love to support you on a Calm-Ride Strategy Call: https://elisehittinger.com/scheduler/calm-ride-strategy And if you’d like to keep going, explore the Turn Riding Fear Around playlist on YouTube—and keep training courage into your riding.
