🧠💪 Confidence After a Fall — Let’s Talk About It
Losing confidence after a fall or a scare is completely normal — and far more common than riders admit.
✨ Repetition rewires the brain
After a fall, your brain creates a “negative memory loop” to keep you safe. The good news? Positive repetitions slowly replace that fear.
Research shows it takes 30–60 calm, successful repetitions for a new memory to override the old one. That means small, steady wins add up massively — even if it feels slow at first.
Every quiet walk.
Every smooth transition.
Every ride where nothing “goes wrong.”
All of those count toward building the new story your body believes.
So be patient with yourself. Be open with your instructor. And remember — confidence isn’t about never feeling scared. It’s about showing up anyway, even if you take it one gentle step at a time. 🐴💛
