Whatever you think about most often, expands in your golf game.
So if you are constantly worried about not having a consistent swing, you will get more life experiences of not having a consistent golf swing. Focusing your golf mind on opportunities to improve your swing will get you a thousand times further than worrying about not hitting the ball consistently.
But Power Visualization is more than just positive thinking. It's about putting your mind and body in the ideal place first, and then flooding your subconscious with a colorful experience of your golf game as you want it.
The more relaxed you are, the more open your subconscious is to receive the messages you want to send it. And the more senses that you involve in your Power Visualization, the more of an impact it will have.
Let's say that you wanted to have a pro golf swing. The meaning of a "pro golf swing" is too vague a term. What kind of pro swing do you want? You need to be absolutely specific. You want the same swing with the driver as Tiger for example.
And once you have that decided, you're going to Power Visualize it. You are going to see yourself walking up to it. Your are going to feel how smooth and perfect the outer body feels. You can yourself seeing in the same set-up position like Tiger, seeing yourself in the same position at the top of the backswing etc. You get the point.
Here's another important characteristic of the subconscious mind: it can't tell the difference between your outer world and your imagination. Meaning that if you visualize an event in great detail and with a lot of emotion, your subconscious mind will believe that it's really happening.
And the more times you practice Power Visualization properly, the more "real" it will seem to your subconscious. This is key because once it believes your visualization to be a fact, it will feel tension when your current outer reality doesn't match up. It will then go your assistance by sending you ideas, opportunities and motivation to transform your outer world.
Action Plan for Power Visualization:
Step 1: Decide what part of your golf game you want to visualize.
Step 2: Lay or sit down in a comfortable position. Listen to relaxing nature sounds with subliminal affirmation.
Step 3: Take a deep breath, hold it for a count of three, and as you exhale, say the number 10 to yourself. Take another breath, hold it for a count of three, and as you exhale, say the number 9 to yourself. Repeat this until you get to the number zero.
Step 4: Now visualize your goal. Don't view it from the third person. Put yourself there. Use all of your senses. Experience in vivid detail how this goal looks, feels, tastes and sounds like. Smell the grass on the golf course. The more specifics you can add, the stronger the effect. You will know that you are doing it correctly when you start to feel excited. This is caused because your subconscious mind honestly thinks that this event is happening. It causes you to feel joy.
Step 4: Once you have visualized as many details about the goal as you have the time for, and the amazing golf mind video is over you can start to come back to full awareness. Take a deep breath, hold it for a count of three, and as you exhale, say the number zero to yourself. Continue this process until you get back to ten. Hold your breath once more, and this time as you exhale, say the following phrase out loud: "I am now fully awake, energized and refreshed." Done correctly, you will feel energized and refreshed.
