Equestrian Performance Mindset

How to get out of a Funk - #200


Listen Later

Ever had one of those weeks where everything feels heavy? One thing goes wrong, then suddenly the whole week feels like a downward spiral.

In this milestone, the 200th episode of the Equestrian Performance Mindset Podcast, I and Lorna open up about being stuck in a “funk”, those tough stretches where self-doubt, disappointment, or fatigue creep in and knock you off balance.

This episode is raw, real, and relatable. Both as riders and coaches, we share personal experiences of feeling low after competition setbacks, unpack how these funks start, and most importantly, how to get out of them.

You’ll learn:

  • Why funks happen (and why they’re completely normal)
  • How a small trigger can snowball into self-doubt across all areas of life
  • The power of awareness: checking in with “HALT” (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired)
  • Why taking action; even the smallest step, is the fastest way out
  • How to use journaling, talking to a trusted friend, or simply moving your body to reset your energy
  • The importance of accepting all emotions (yes, it’s okay to cry!)
  • How to flip the script and start creating evidence that you are capable, resilient, and moving forward
  • This conversation is a reminder that funks don’t mean failure, they’re just part of the journey. Confidence isn’t gone, it’s just hiding, and you can find your way back.
