Be Solution-Focused

6/12/2018

2 Comments

 
On the course, one great weapon is your mind. Within, the idea of being solution-focused will shave strokes off your score...especially when things don't go your way. Being solution-focused means you  are just that: focused on solutions rather than problems. As humans, we are really good at seeing problems; in fact, we are wired to see them. So rewiring our brain is key to maximize our potential. 

The One Key Question That Will Improve Your Game (and your life):
"What is the one thing I can do right now to make my situation better?"


This question will forces us to refocus what we are thinking about. Instead of thinking about your ball in the bunker, you can focus on things like
  • what you can do to get out
  • taking a deep centering breath to relax and regain focus
  • thinking about other times you got out of the bunker and visualize that triumphant situation
  • changing your mindset to view it as a great opportunity...because hey, some of the best stories are ones where people overcome great obstacles 
Regardless of what you choose, choosing to focus your mental energy on how things can be immediately better will keep you calm and confident. As you work through tough situations, be sure to store them in your mental highlight real...you can definitely use them again and again.
