Humans - Our Struggle to be Extra-Ordinary

Human beings have not survived so long by giving up easily.  Most riders struggle with nerves and conflicts, sometimes unsure if we want to continue riding but not quite bringing ourselves to hang up our hats either.  We optimistically enter ourselves into dressage or jumping classes when they’re several weeks away and then on the morning of the event wonder what on earth possessed us.  Even if we do manage to get ourselves into the arena or jumping ring, only part of us wants to be there while the other part wishes we were somewhere (anywhere!) else.  We’d love to be in the ribbons but deep down we’re afraid that it might affect our relationships with our friends or our family (or even with ourselves and our riding]).

Conflicts like these waste a lot of energy and result in a loss of motivation and commitment.  They can also cause a lot of damage to our confidence and self-esteem because we focus on the miss-match between what we (or others) think we ought to be able to do and what we find we actually can do.  We begin to value ourselves for what we can (or cannot!) do, rather than for who we are and then get caught up in a cycle of negative thinking, negative self-talk and anxieties.
