Conquer Your Self-Defeating Mindsets

You’ve probably spent thousands of dollars on your horse and riding lessons, if not much more. You’ve also probably spent untold hours developing show-ready riding skills.

But will all of this get you where you want to go?

For a great many riders, the answer depends not so much on their riding skills, but on having the confidence and self-assuredness to take on challenges boldly, perform well when everything is on the line and persevere through difficulty.

So how do you go about building these kinds of strengths? A good place to start is to get your self-defeating mindsets under control.

We All Have to Work on Our Self-Defeating Mindsets

Unless you possess supernatural mental powers, you sometimes give up on promising opportunities too soon, because of unwarranted pessimism.

Whether you know it or not, you also at times give up unnecessarily because of an unfounded sense of helplessness.

And, if you’re like most achievement-oriented people, you sometimes become so consumed by perfectionism that you get distracted by trivial mistakes or perceive yourself as not ready to step into the spotlight when, in fact, you really are.

The truth is, we’re all affected by self-defeating mindsets like these, even if we’re completely unaware of them. It’s unavoidable, because none of us is so perfect at interpreting our experiences that we can prevent misperceptions from forming in our subconscious and hurting our performanceThis can have a significant impact on whether or not you’re successful in your riding, because so much depends on how you respond to opportunities and challenges. And basically, a self-defeating mindset predisposes you to respond poorly.

On the other hand, getting control over these kinds of mindsets can help you:

  • Remain self-assured and perform well under pressure
  • Confidently set higher goals and expectations for yourself
  • Maintain greater enthusiasm and drive
  • Become bolder and act more decisively
  • Become more assertive in getting what you need to succeed
  • Persevere through difficulty and bounce back from setbacks
  • Free yourself from distressing emotions and enjoy your sport more

Become Unstoppable

Achieving these things is what our Conquer Your Self-Defeating Mindsets workbook is all about.

With it, you’ll learn how to combat six different ways of thinking that can prevent you from becoming the rider you should be:

Pessimism “That won’t work”, “I won’t do well”

Helplessness “There’s nothing I can do about this situation”

Overgeneralization “This will always happen”

Catastrophization “This is a complete disaster”

Obsession “I can’t get my mind off this problem”

Perfectionism “This isn’t good enough”, “I’m not ready”

More specifically, this 172-page eBook will help you:

  • Understand each mindset and how it can hurt your performance, even if you’re barely conscious of it
  • Discover which mindsets give you more difficulty on a consistent basis
  • Detect when one of them is driving your thoughts, emotions or behavior
