“Hey Erica, Thought you’d like to hear how much managing my mindset helped my ride today. I sessioned some technical trails at Lunch Loops with some gal pals where we live in Grand Junction - I got more features than I ever have before!!! I started off feeling scared & not confident but then I changed my thinking to I do hard things and I'm excited to session & try things. Before I’d try an obstacle I’d say out loud to calm my nervous system & take deep breaths then started to ride saying out loud "I can do hard things!" There was one obstacle I didn’t get that my friends did and I didn’t feel ashamed of myself like I normally would, instead I let it go & thought of how proud I was of all the new things I did get- I didn’t let it ruin my ride feeling bad about myself or stop trying things. SO helpful!! Thank you!”
