Mental Golf Moment: Automatic Putting Stroke

         When you think about your putting stroke, would you say it is automatic or naturally smooth? If not, would you like it to be? In this article, I address a way you can improve your putting stroke by using a self-suggestion from my “Perfect Putting” product. Using a self-suggestion or affirmation is a way of building a belief about something that you have the ability and capability of believing. That is why I have created products and information that will help you in your sport, and why I pull suggestions from them to teach in articles like this.

Less Stress, Greater Joy: Silence, Tolerance, Kindness

       Would you like to live your life with less stress and greater joy? I certainly would. Over the years of being a hypnotherapist, I have seen how much of an impact stress has on people’s lives and I’ve experienced some really great light bulb moments along the way. I have collected lots of evidence from watching clients progress, along with those who did not. Throughout that process I have learned a great deal about stress, and have found that it is not what most of us have come to believe it is.
       People spend a lot of time trying to change things outside of themselves, believing that holds the key to their happiness or joy. They may say things like: “If my husband or wife would only do this differently, then I’d be happy”, or; “If my boss would stop doing that, then I’d be happy”, or maybe; “If I had a particular kind of house or a certain amount of money in the bank, then I’d be happy.” As long as people hold those particular beliefs, when they don’t have those

Living the Virtues Series: Acceptance of a Higher Power

Acceptance of Higher Power

The past few weeks have been the start of my Living the Virtues Series. I wrote about acceptance of self, others, life, and now I will delve into acceptance of a higher power. At this point, you should be having a pretty good idea of how to implement the basic acceptance-type skills in your life; meaning that looking at others, life, self, and seeing it for what it is. There is a freedom that you get when you have acceptance. This week, I"m writing about the acceptance of a higher power. There are a lot of different beliefs out there. I am not trying to tell you to go out there and buy into one or the other. I am looking at an all-encompassing higher power spiritualism. If you look at the evolution of a spiritual self of a greater wisdom that is within you and around you that channels through you, then acceptance in general is a very positive spiritual evolving way to live your life.
