Mental Training and Your Life
For those of you that
are knee deep in snow, you can do a lot to improve your mental game
for golf during the off season by applying the principles
of "The Mental Keys to Improve Your Golf " to your life.
Even if you live where the weather is warm and sunny, you can work
on improving your mental game everyday by applying my book to your life.
The same negative emotions
that upset your chemistry while playing golf are present in your
daily life. The only difference is that during a round of golf the
feedback is immediate and easy to see because it affects your performance
and score. The negative emotions in your life may take days, weeks,
months or even years to catch up with you in one way or another.
As a result, you pay little attention to the negative emotions in
your daily life and allow them to continue to exist.
If you have a strong
desire to be in control of your emotions on the golf course in order
to lower your score, make it a habit to reflect on the Daily Affirmation
in my book several times a day every day. When you do, follow Shakespeare's
advice in Hamlet, "To Thine Own Self Be True." Without
being true to yourself, the Daily Affirmation of "I am always
truthful, positive and helping others" will only be eight hollow
words without meaning to you. Empty words will not increase your
self-awareness of the negative emotions that are on your tape.
However, if you are true
to yourself and make it a habit to reflect on the Daily Affirmation
throughout the day, you will become very aware whenever you attach
negative emotions to the facts in your life. Once your awareness
of what is on your tape increases, then you can start to reprogram
your tape and stop attaching negative emotions to the facts you
encounter in your daily life.
Your tape wants to do
its job which is to have you repeat or make similar responses to
what you have done in the past. If you have fear or get angry in
your daily life, you will have fear and get angry on the golf course.
Your fear and anger will cost you strokes when you play golf.
However, if you take
the time to mentally train yourself to reduce the fear and anger
you may experience in your daily life, it will become easy to do
it while you are playing golf. Once you reduce or eliminate the
negative emotions from recurring on your tape, you will be amazed
at how well you can play golf and how much happier and productive
your life off the golf course will become.
If you are knee deep
in snow, you have plenty of time to reread "The Mental Keys"
several times and work on reducing or eliminating the negative emotions
from your tape in your daily life. If you do, your mental game will
be much improved when your golf season begins.
The same holds true for
you if you are blessed with good weather. If you desire to keep
improving your mental game, make the time to reread "The Mental
Keys" and apply the Daily Affirmation to your life.
If
you have not read "The Mental Keys To Improve Your Golf", you will
benefit greatly from my book by seeing the whole picture instead
of just pieces contained in my mental tips.
I guarantee it! So
order now and lower your score.
