Every now and again you can’t help thinking about the score.
You know you’re supposed to be thinking about your game plan, your next move, and your Right Focus.
But your mind is betraying you.
It’s whispering things like, “Win this point you get the set,” or “Putt this hole and you’ll birdie it.”
Or maybe you’re not thinking about the score.
Maybe you’re just frustrated because nothing is working out there.
As the cliche goes, you’re “not getting the bounces.”
Maddening.
You know getting frustrated won’t help your game, but you’re STILL frustrated.
Here’s a quick tip from spiritual guru Deepak Chopra.
Go zen on the situation and ‘become one’ with the ball, rock, puck, target, etc.
Imagine a line running from your heart to the ball.
Push your diaphragm in and out at the navel with a few conscious breaths, an exercise used in Yoga.
This special breathing is for relaxation.
The line from your heart to the ball is for concentration.
Finally, place your tongue against the roof of your mouth to stop the internal dialogue in your mind.
I tried Deepak’s tip myself while golfing.
The first time I imagined a line from my heart to the ball, I noticed a connection to it I hadn’t had before.
The ball absorbed my attention in a way I cannot explain.
And I couldn’t think frustrated thoughts no matter how hard I tried.
My mind quieted right down.
I stopped worrying about whether or not I was going to hit the ball
And then I hit it.
Try it today and surprise yourself.
Most athletes don’t use mental toughness strategies like this.
Either they don’t know them or they think mental training is New Age bunk.
They stay inconsistent and wonder why.
They may go so far as to take breaks from their sport in frustration.
