When Riding Fear Becomes a Habit
from Turn Riding Fear Around · host Elise Hittinger
Have you ever noticed how easily your brain falls into the same fearful thoughts every time you ride? In this episode of Turn Riding Fear Around, I share why our brains are a lot like horses following the same trail through a pasture. The more often we travel one path, the easier it becomes to follow. The good news? We aren't stuck on that trail. We get to create a new one. If you've been struggling with riding fear, riding anxiety, or a mind that automatically jumps to "What if something goes wrong?", this episode is for you. Fear can become a habit—but confidence can become one too. In this episode, you'll learn:• Fear is a habit. Create a new habit of confidence.• What If's to What's the Plan - This is a new habit.• Practice your What's your plan in your mind, then riding, then you have it if you need it. Your brain follows the paths you practice most. You can choose to practice a new one. When you're ready to create new habits, build lasting confidence, and enjoy riding again, I'd love to help. A Calm-Ride Strategy Call is a chance for us to look at where you are today and create the next step that's right for you. 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. ????????
