My physical fear/tension is causing major problems
I've struggled with confidence on and off for a while, but over the past few years have done a lot better.
Things have been going great, and I even have a bunch of prospective clients in the works.
The problem is, I am over my mental fear but my physical fear is taking over. I had a fall off of a colt a few days ago, didn't hurt at all and got right back on, but ever since then my fear is taking over.
My legs start to shake and my seat gets tense, which makes him even worse.
I try deep breaths but it isn't helping, and I'm not sure how to get past it. Usually once I start jogging I snap out of it, but I can't even get to the point. We've been doing lots of groundwork in the meantime, and I've been just getting on, walking a lap or two, and getting off. He's just a personal project so no client and no big rush that way, but we need to get him sold.
Any tips? It's so frustrating when my mind is coping but my body is still uncooperative.
