The Most Important Gift You Can Give Yourself as a Rider - #216

As the year winds down, this episode invites you to pause, not to plan more, do more, or push harder, but to reflect. Because what if the most powerful thing you could give yourself this season isn’t a new piece of kit… but a mental shift? In this special, end-of-year conversation, I and Lorna explore the idea of non-material gifts; the internal qualities, permissions, and mindset changes that can completely transform how you ride, train, and live. Inside this episode, we talk about: The gift of saying no, and why every “yes” costs you something How people-pleasing drains your energy and quietly pulls you away from your goals Why self-trust (or trusting your process) changes everything, especially when things feel messy The freedom that comes from allowing yourself to make mistakes Why mistakes are rarely as bad as your mind predicts, and how they actually speed up progress The importance of being kinder to yourself, especially if you’re driven and ambitious How high expectations can motivate you and exhaust you at the same time The role of consistency, and why it looks different for different riders Knowing when to push… and when to give yourself permission to rest The overlooked power of being present, particularly during busy or emotional seasons This episode isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about awareness. About noticing the patterns that no longer serve you, and choosing to give yourself what you actually need to move forward with more ease, confidence, and enjoyment. As you head into a new season, a new year, or simply a new week, this episode will help you ask a powerful question: What gift do I need to give myself to become the rider, and person, I want to be? We’d love to hear your answer. Share the gift you’re giving yourself and use the hashtag #gifttomyself or keep it somewhere visible so it becomes more than just a nice idea.   Resources Mentioned: 🧠 Receive our weekly mindset & performance hacks: https://www.mindeq.eu/weeklyhacks Follow Jocelin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jocelinlillienau Follow Lorna on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lornahogarth_coaching/
