If you notice that you find yourself thinking or saying, ‘look, I messed up there’  or ‘my timing could have been better there’ and you have an underlying feeling of disappointment, this episode is for you.

In this week's episode, we discuss a simple tool that can help reduce the fear of mistakes and the trap of perfectionism. As riders develop the ability to feel more while riding, the heightened awareness will reveal both the things that ARE working, as well as the things that are not.

This same concept is also a useful way to think when planning, goal-setting, and reviewing your progress.
