Mental Toughness – Focus – Session
September 17, 2009 by admin
I often hear from golfers, after a round, that they just didn’t focus and if they had, they wouldn’t have missed that putt or shot…And when I press them, they admit that they had no plan or intention at the beginning or during the round to foster this.
We are all pretty good at giving ourselves a cue or reminder for a swing thought for instance. Why not one to trigger “Focus?”
There are a number of things that cause us to lose our focus and concentration…
Lack of motivation. The answer to this is in deciding and reminding yourself of your reason for wanting to improve your focus and and as a result, your scores.
Expectations cause you to lose focus. These cause difficult emotions, tensions, and anxiety that destroys the coordination you have in your fine motor skills.
Significant Distractions. You will be given a tool to deal with this in the first session below.
Before you go out for your next round, here’s some suggestions to dampen your expectations and put things in perspective for you. Review these before every round.
1. It’s not your life, it’s not your wife, it’s just a game
2. We are fragile beings and can die tomorrow. How does this putt compare to that?
3. What if you were able to float your body out in space and watch the spot on the earth where you are golfing…while connecting to your higher belief systems…up there, at that moment
4. Will the legacy you want to leave your loved ones be affected by this shot?
5. Does this round have any relevance to your overall purpose/mission for being alive on the planet right now?
6. Wow, this tension, stress, tightness feels a lot like being excited and energized doesn’t it?
The fact is, YOU ARE ALREADY GREAT AT FOCUSING, when you want to or need to. You do it in your work, vocation or studies and you do it in your play. You do it well when watching a movie or book that you enjoy…or even a tasty meal.
Focus is more a matter of emotionally framing your round for how you want it to go before you go out on the course.
Add a tool to “practice” your focusing…and you should be set. The tool, is how to be in the present. You will want to use the Focus induction here to practice using this tool in hypnosis.
Golf is supposed to be fun!! Decide that that is your main objective and then you will just naturally play to your potential and keep your focus…Just like when you watch a movie you really like.
And then when you get up to that pressure putt or back 9, then you can easily focus and be calm as a monk. That’s how it works….for you now…doesn’t it?
