In the
human brain, that part that controls emotions,
developed long before the thinking part.
Emotions are stronger, more primitive. If you
place an emotion with an action, it tends to be
remembered for a long time.
How this relates to golf; if you get angry after a bad
shot, and berate yourself, you tend to remember the
shot and the negative emotion that goes with it.
Your mind is storing bad stuff, bad feelings about
your game.
Likewise, if you hit a really good one, and celebrate,
or smile to yourself, that positive feeling also is
remembered.
Folks, you have a choice; to feel good about your game
or to feel bad about your game.
So next time out, appreciate the good ones, hold your
finish a little longer, and watch the ball until it
stops rolling. Give yourself a silent pat on the
back.
And when you hit a poor shot? Say to yourself
'How unlike me', or 'Very interesting'. Or you
could watch the shot as if your buddy hit it, not you.
This takes discipline, but if you will give it time
and make it a habit, your game will improve and you
will surely enjoy it more |
