Unrealistic Fears

I still remembers Olivia’s first lesson, nearly 2 years ago now. We spent the entire 50min lesson working on getting the courage to mount the horse. Olivia was letting an unrealistic fear control her. Since then, Olivia has been diligently working on identifying real fear vrs. unrealistic fear! At each and every lesson we talk about how she feels, how her anxiety feels and what her real and unrealistic fears are for that day — and a lot of the time, just talking about fake fears and hearing yourself say how silly they sound out-loud, can be a great first step in over coming them. Today, Olivia was confident in what she has learned and didn’t let a single fear set her back…she pushed through and rocked it like a courageous cowgirl!! I am very proud of her We all have fears in our day to day life, especially these dayswhat are some unrealistic fears in your life? What are some fears that you can’t control? Letting go of fake, unrealistic and uncontrollable fears is so FREEING.
