My name is Ed McCosh and I'm a Golf Confidence Coach, working with the Scottish Ladies Golf Association and a number of Tour players.  (see www.edmccoshconfidencecoach.com and below for more info on me and my book that helps players shoot their best scores ever!)<br><br>

One of the things that I working on with the SLGA squad at Desert Springs in Spain earlier this year was to be aware of their self talk (and naturally to keep it positive). If you've wondered why what you say to yourself is important, you'll benefit from this story.    <br><br>

The rules
<br><br>
You may have heard of the 'law of correspondence' which is best explained by the phrase 'as within, so without'. This means that your outer world (ie the job you are in, your health and happiness) is merely a reflection of your inner world (your thoughts, beliefs, and values). <br><br>
So if you want to make a change on the outside you must first make a change on the inside.

<br><br>
 
 
The secret ingredient   <br><br>

Let's imagine someone made you some delicious cookies. And just before you were about to eat one, they said that they'd used the usual recipe, except that they'd substituted one ingredient for some dog poo.

How appealing (or should that be appalling) would the cookie be?

<br><br> 
Choose carefully
<br><br>

So be selective about what you put into your mind, and what you choose to say out loud. When someone asks how you are why not copy Zig Ziglar and say 'Better than good'. Many people who've adopted this attitude have gained promotions and more.If you can't think of anything positive to say, then don't say anything. Start to become aware of how often you complain about something - i.e. "I'm so tired" - as though that will make it better!
 
 
Key ingredients
<br><br> 

This is much easier when you let go of negative emotions and develop new ways of seeing things.
<br><br>
And of course it's easier to do this when you have a coach.<br><br>
