the down side of my day today

I have already posted about my day in a happy way but the down side was going to horse riding and when I am trotting I am running out of breath and am not putting as much energy into my riding as I would like to the instructor can see this and is downsizing the lesson.

I sometimes feel frustrated that my fitness level at the moment is not as good as it needs to be to do a hours lesson.

And sometimes I get off the horse feeling like I could have done more but the breathless ness  is taking my energy and concentration away.

The instructor said I am not breathing properly well this is new to me apparently I need to breathe right down to my stomach Diaphragm and this will help there are so many new things to learn which is great I like a challenge.

I told myself I feel like a bit of a old granny at the moment on the horse slow trotting and walking.

I keep telling myself it is about repetition  keep going and I will become fitter and not get out of breath Urrrgh  I am visualising the day that I am trotting on the horse constantly without running out of breath I tell myself keep turning up for your lesson

the negative thought I have had is does the instructor really want me to come back next week for the lesson and I am telling myself just keep going you will improve like you did in other areas of riding as I wrote in my other post that I did not hold onto the saddle at all today.  

Wow I can hear my attitude, fears and complaints loud and clear whereas b/4 I would have just done what these thoughts said and not notice that they were attitudes, fears and complaints  and I would have given up but no I will listen to my inner self and turn up next week and I will practice my breathing through the week. 

I have my goals and I am working on my goal
