Here is the biggest secret of all…

In order to get better you have to change something. If you don’t change SOMETHING you will always be doing the same thing and how do you get better,
or
improve
if you don’t change something?

I get it. If you are at the top of your game, and you are “the best” at what you do, then you have a system of exercises and checklists to perform so you know how to get there or what you did.

BUT

If you want to improve something. ANYTHING

Then something has to change. For the better.

I call this the “how to” of “how to improve”.

Something has to change.

It doesn’t even have to be a big change. It just has to be a change
and
it has to be the right change. For the better.

There has been studies done that have identified that the most meaningful motivation to success is

PROGRESS.

It is that simple.

To keep yourself motivated.
To keep yourself along the path to your goal.
To become better at what you do …

Continue to PROGRESS.

Have you ever gone to a clinic or weekend session and come away full of excitement and “go-gettem‘-ness” only to see that in the next month you wake up and are seemingly not ahead in your training because you failed to implement ANY of the strategies or training principles that you learned during your lessons.

You did not progress, you lost your motivation and you got stuck in your rut.

It is probably because you didn’t change anything. You went back to your “old ways”.

If you keep doing what you’ve always done,
you’ll keep getting what you’ve always gotten.

Tony Robbins

This is where you have to implement those changes. Those tiny bits of progress that over time, add up to massive change.

When you focus on the end result, and the huge changes you would like to see, you get overwhelmed and your motivation plummets. Instead, think of a small change in the right direction.

For example, instead of thinking of how you would like to have quiet hunter round (and you are staring at a Off the Track T-bred that raced last month) think of breaking down that goal into smaller chunks.

Digestable, meaningful changes that would be impossible to not achieve. For example, walking quietly on a loose rein, or trotting in rhythm for a full circuit of the arena. Then build up from there.
This way, you build a system of achievable goals. Things that you can apply with certainty and keep motivated.

If each day you can chip away at a small change in the positive direction you will keep motivated and keep moving forward with your riding.
