As equestrians, we've all had self-defeating thoughts at some point or another related to our riding. "We'll never be able to get a flying lead change." "I'll never be a good enough rider to compete at that level." And some of these thoughts are not conscious. They pop up unconsciously in our mind on those days when we are feeling less than awesome. 

But words, whether spoken or just thoughts in our head, can have a huge impact on what happens in our life. That is why it is so important to watch what is going on in your mind.

In this week's episode of the podcast, Katrina talks about some of the common self-defeating thoughts that riders have and how to get rid of them.
