NLP is an ATTITUDE ... which is an

18 Holes in His Mind
Major James Nesmeth had a dream of improving his golf
game - and he developed a unique method of achieving his goal. Until he
devised this method, he was just your average weekend golfer, shooting in
the mid-to low-nineties. Then for seven years, he completely quit the
game. Never touched a club. Never set foot on a fairway. Ironically, it
was during this seven-year break from the game that Major Nesmeth came up
with his amazingly effective technique for improving his game. In fact, the first time he set foot on a
golf course after his hiatus from the game, he shot an astonishing 74! He
had cut 20 strokes off his average without having swung a golf club in
seven years! Unbelievable. Not only that, but his physical condition had
actually deteriorated during those seven years.
What was Major Nesmeth's secret? Visualization. He had spent those seven years as a prisoner of war in
North Vietnam During those seven years, he was imprisoned in a cage that
was approximately four and one-half feet high and five feet long. Almost the entire time he was imprisoned, he saw no one, talked to
no one and experienced no physical activity. During the first few months
he did virtually nothing but hope and pray for his release. Then he
realized he had to find some way to occupy his mind or he would lose his
sanity and probably his life. That's when he learned to visualize.
In his mind, he selected his favourite golf course and started playing
golf. Every day, he played a full 18 holes at the imaginary country club
of his dreams. He experienced everything to the last detail. He saw
himself dressed in his golfing clothes. He smelled the fragrance of the
trees and the freshly trimmed grass. He experienced different weather
conditions - windy spring days, overcast winter days, and sunny summer
mornings. In his imagination, every detail of the tee, the individual
blades of grass, the trees, the singing birds, the scampering squirrels
and the lay of the course became totally real.
He felt the grip of the club in his hands. He instructed himself as he
practiced smoothing out his down-swing and the follow-through on his shot.
Then he watched the ball arc down the exact centre of the fairway, bounce
a couple of times and roll to the exact spot he had selected, all in his
mind. In the real world, he was in no hurry. He had no place to go. So in
his mind, he took every step on his way to the ball, just as if he were
physically on the course. It took him just as long in imaginary time
to play 18 holes as it would have taken in reality. Not a detail was
omitted. No once did he ever miss a shot, never a hook or a slice, never
missed a putt.Seven days a week. Four hours a day. Eighteen holes. Seven years. Twenty
strokes off. Shot a 74.
NEGATIVE THOUGHT MELTER
1. See your negative thought out in front of you.
2. Imagine that the image is an oil painting.
3. It has been heated up and now the paint is
melting, see the paint dripping off into the void.
4. See it melt and drip until the canvas is
either black or white.
