Tiger did it with hypnosis .....

Golf, just like any other game or life activity has a mind related component. It follows then, if we have a poor mind set, our performance will suffer. Watch Tiger Woods closely, each time he tee's up to take a shot he blinks twice. This is what we call an 'anchor'. He's used hypnosis, and during those sessions of hypnosis, this double blink was anchored in his mind to 'put him in the zone'. Two simple blinks and the crowd, wind, weather, noise, pressures all disappear. In his mind he's setting himself up to play that perfect stroke. All that he needs to do then is allow his mind to carry it through.

We can all do this, it doesn't have to be golf, it can be anything that we've learned to do. Kick a goal, take a penalty kick, take a driving test, intimate activities, jump a bar, throw a javelin, take an examination. You name it, and anywhere that your performance relies on a learned pattern of behaviour can be improved by focusing your mind. The easiest and most reliable way of doing this is to use hypnosis, and in that state of hypnosis develop an anchor. That anchor can be any simplistic physical thing; blink your eyes, tighten a fist, look to the right .... and so on, ad infinitum.

You see, once we've learned to do something to the highest degree of our ability, we don't need to improve on it. All that we need to do is to repeat what we have stored in our mind. The times that we fail are the times when we try to exceed our own learned skills. In other words, our conscious mind takes over and we try to enhance our skills with greater effort; the usual result? Abject failure.

We can all learn this process through hypnosis. Wherever we have a learned pattern of behaviour in our life, which we need perform at a personal optimum level, we can 'put ourselves in the zone' with an anchor learned during a hypnotherapy session.

Remember that, consciously.
