Normally we don\u2019t block out positive thoughts.\u00a0We just listen to them and then let them fade out as we think of something else.<\/p>\n<p>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.\u00a0As you do this, then replace what you don\u2019t want to think about, with what you do.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if the thought is \u201cI can\u2019t make this four foot putt.\u201d Honor the fear thought and release it by\u00a0preparing 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\u00a0the ball rolling on line into the cup, and tell yourself, \u201cI am making this putt easily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you discipline yourself to this kind of mental programming, your positive thoughts will be much more powerful than the negative ones.<\/p>\n<p><em>Improve your golf game NOW by listening to PMI self-hypnosis CDs\/tapes in the privacy\u00a0<\/em><em>of your own home.
