π§ Keeps Your Memory & Brain Sharp: Good old fashioned pen & paper journaling helps your brain to digest, summarise, and capture the heart of the information. This, in turn, promotes better understanding and memory retention. Not only that, you can simply look back over past lessons, shows or rides to jog your memory and stay on track.
π Goal Setting: Planning your journey and setting goals will give your rides a sense of purpose. Your focus, efforts and processes will align as you work towards your objective. You will start to see improvements in your riding and your horseβs way of going and be on your way to achieving your dreams.
π± Learning and Growth: As you journal, you document your learning and personal growth. This self-awareness and self-improvement process can lead to more confidence and improvements in your riding.
π§ββοΈ Reduces Stress: Riding can be emotionally and mentally demanding. Journaling provides a space for riders to reflect on their experiences, express their emotions, and manage stress. It can be a form of therapy and self-care. Itβs proven. Journaling is a incredible stress management tool, a good-for-you habit that lessens impact of physical stressors on your health.
π Planning and Organisation: Journals can be used to plan riding schedules, lessons, and events. They can help riders stay organised and ensure they are well prepared and know what their goal is for a ride before they put their foot in the stirrup.
Start journaling and see the benefits yourself!
