Sore fingers

Hi all,
New to here, and pretty much new to mountain biking. Only really started to pick it up, an really enjoy it ...
I was doing a trails at Carron Valley today with a friend (first time on proper MTB trails). I loved it, but I keep getting really sore fingers when going downhill. I think it is from the vibrations or gripping too tight...
It is normal? If so, any suggestions on what I can do to stop it? FYI - I've got front shocks on a fairly entry bike - Scott Aspect 55
Any advice would be great!

1 Buy a set of riding gloves.
2 Try replacing the grips with a softer more ergonomic grip!!
3 MTFU
Hope these ideas help.
I never thought about the grips on my bike. I've had a butchers around and see what is around ...
MTFU - I know, I know, I probably sound like a total bufty, but I can hardly straighten them after and they are super painful ...
Thanks - most appreciated!
