Equestrian Performance Mindset

The Power of Your Words - #195


Listen Later

Welcome back to another episode of the Equestrian Performance Mindset Podcast, where we help ambitious riders make real strides in their mindset, so they can make real strides in the saddle.

This week, I and Lorna dive into a deceptively simple yet deeply transformative topic: the power of your words; especially the ones you say to yourself.

From self-talk during tough training sessions to the limiting beliefs quietly shaping your confidence, this episode is all about helping you build awareness around your internal dialogue, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and create new habits that support your goals.

In this episode, You will learn:

  • Why the words in your head matter more than you think
  • A simple 4-part filter to challenge unhelpful thoughts: Is it true? Is it helpful? Is it your reality? Do you need to obey it?
  • How internal self-talk can either fuel progress or feed fear
  • The importance of accepting hard days without making them mean you're a bad rider
  • The difference between helpful honesty and toxic self-criticism
  • Why mental training deserves the same attention as physical conditioning
  • Using awareness and intention to shift from self-sabotage to self-support
  • How to create your own “rules of self-talk” just like you would in a professional environment or a family culture
  • Powerful metaphors like the “stage show” and “squeezing the last bit of toothpaste” to help you visualize mental resilience
  • The reason most riders revert to old habits under pressure, and how to break that cycle
  • Whether you're prepping for a competition, navigating a plateau, or simply trying to ride with more confidence and clarity, this episode will give you a mindset tune-up you didn't know you needed.
