In our memory bank stored in the unconscious mind are negative thoughts and well as positive thoughts. From time to time random thoughts will pop up into our conscious minds. Normally we don’t block out positive thoughts. We just listen to them and then let them fade out as we think of something else.
Instead of trying to block out a thought, it is a good practice to notice the negative thought and let it fade away without giving it any power. Release any tension the negative thought may have caused by taking several deep breaths to calm your body. As you do this, then replace what you don’t want to think about, with what you do.
For example, if the thought is “I can’t make this four foot putt.” Honor the fear thought and release it by preparing your mind and body anew with your pre-shot routine. Notice any tension in your hands and arms that might keep you from accelerating the putter toward the hole. Visualize the ball rolling on line into the cup, and tell yourself, “I am making this putt easily.”
If you discipline yourself to this kind of mental programming, your positive thoughts will be much more powerful than the negative ones.
