Never Say Don’t

One of the most misused words

in the English language is

Don’t.

Every time you start a sentence

with the word

Don’t

, you are

subconsciously telling yourself

the opposite of what you want to

achieve. An example would be,

Don’t

hit my ball in the water

hazard. Your subconscious mind

does not accept the word,

Don’t

and only hears,

Hit my ball in the

Water Hazard

. Probably not what

you are trying to accomplish.

A much stronger message to

tell yourself is,

Hit My Target

.

That is what you are trying to

achieve. It only makes sense to

communicate that. If you are

programmed to think,

Don’t

go in the water, something

needs to change,

ASAP.

The Old Story Is Over

If you are programmed to

constantly say the wrong

things, then it is time for a

change. Think in terms of your

old story being over, and your

new story starts today.

Step 1.

Completely eradicate the word

Don’t

from your vocabulary.

Write down or speak aloud

all of the times you say,

Don’t.

Including phrases such as:

Don’t

go left

Don’t

forget the tickets

Don’t

be late

Don’t

go OB

(out of bounds)

Don’t

go in the bunker

Don’t

choke

Don’t

screw up

Being aware makes it much

easier to stop in the future.

Step 2

Make wholesale changes on

all the negative thoughts you

have throughout the day.

STOP

judging others,

STOP

complaining,

STOP

criticizing,

STOP

comparing,

STOP

getting

angry.

STOP

your old story, eliminate

Don’t

from your routine.

Focus on a clean, healthy

communication process, that

centers on you being the best

you can be, on and off the golf

course.

Every Olympian in Rio last

month, is trained to be positive,

focused and eliminate any

negatives from their conscious.

It is the only option, if you

want to become the

Best of

the Best.

Enjoy the Feeling

Step 3

Enjoy the feeling and improve

your positive communication.

You will become calmer, more

relaxed and more focused. The

improved mindset will make a

monumental shift in how you

feel, act and become.  

If you are serious about

improving your game on and

off the course, ditch your

old story. Get focused on

becoming your best and start

creating a life that you love!

Don’t EVER Say Don’t

For the past seven years I’ve been teaching golfers the importance of

communication in their golf game, but it is also important in all areas of your

life. It is just one more example of how golf imitates life.
