Find a comfortable and quiet place where you can sit or lie down.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose,
Holding it just for a moment,
And then exhale slowly through your mouth.
Let go of any tension in your body and allow yourself to fully relax.
As you continue to breathe deeply and evenly,
Bring your attention to the thoughts that may arise in your mind during a round of golf.
Notice any negative self-talk that surfaces.
Thoughts that doubt your abilities or focus on past mistakes.
Allow these thoughts to come into your awareness without judgment.
Imagine yourself as an observer,
Simply noticing the thoughts passing through your mind like clouds in the sky.
Sit quietly with these thoughts and just note how you are feeling when you hear these thoughts.
Now gently bring your attention back to your focused intention for playing golf.
Remind yourself why you're on the course and the experience that you want to create.
Feel into your core value,
The one you are fulfilling with having golf as a part of your life.
See this value as a guiding light within you,
Radiating positivity and purpose.
Feel its presence empowering you now.
Shift your awareness to your breath.
Inhale deeply and exhale slowly.
With each breath,
Cultivate a sense of kindness and self-compassion.
Now also remember and invoke your confidence trigger,
Whether it's a word,
Phrase,
Or physical gesture.
As you do,
Feel a surge of confidence and self-assuredness flowing through you.
You are feeling better and better,
And now you imagine a wave of relaxation washing over you,
Starting from your head and flowing down to your toes.
With each wave,
You express gratitude for the opportunity to play golf and fulfill a high value,
Like peace,
Love,
Harmony,
Or freedom.
Now I'd like you to end this meditation by imagining yourself on the golf course,
Fully engaged in the shots or hole you're playing,
As you feel into the fulfillment you have right now for the game of golf.
You are focused on your intention,
Which right now is to feel into your core value which right now is to feel into your core value that fuels your love for the game.
Feel a deep sense of focus and presence,
And breathe in the stillness of this moment,
And knowing that this practice is leading you toward more and more rewarding golf experiences.
Now gently bring your awareness back to your breath,
And take a few more deep breaths before you slowly open your eyes.
Carry the sense of empowerment and positivity you've cultivated into your next round of golf,
Knowing that you have the tools to transform your self-talk and elevate your game.
