3 Emotions You Should Let Go
Emotions are part of our everyday life. None of us will go through a day without experiencing some kind of emotion, be it fear, anger, happiness, or joy. Some people hang on to negative emotions instead of feeling them and letting them go.
If you tend to hold onto your negative emotions, you may find that your life is affected, including your relationships. It can hinder the pursuit of goals. If left alone long enough, you may look back on your life with regret at the wasted years.
Release these 3 Emotions for Greater Personal Growth
There is a time for experiencing all of your emotions. You don’t want to get stuck in the quagmire of these three negative emotions, however:
1. Regret: Who hasn’t second-guessed their decisions? Maybe you are going through some financial stress, and you wish you didn’t buy that expensive new truck. You might which you would have chosen a different career or spouse. You will regret some of your choices; however, you don’t want to get stuck looking back so much that you stop living in the present and planning for your future. It’s okay to look back and feel the emotion, but don’t stop there. Learn the lesson, and move on with your life.
2. Anger: Getting mad happens. You may have an off day and yell at your kids or partner for a simple mistake. Other times, you might have a good reason to be mad, but you refuse to work through it. Instead, you want to hang on and carry a grudge. Anger affects your health. It also pushes your loved ones away. Don’t let anger control your life and reduce your chances of future happiness. Learn healthy mechanisms to control your outbursts. Extend forgiveness, even if the other person doesn’t ask for it. You are releasing the pain that has been defining you. That is a huge step in personal growth.
3. Disappointment: This close cousin to regret, disappointment is directed at other people when they don’t live up to your expectations. For example, your co-worker failed to do their part for the upcoming presentation. You may be a little mad, but you are disappointed because you have always known them to be reliable. Living in a constant state of disappointment will affect your relationships. You may come across as cynical and push people away from you. Understand that people will disappoint you, but you don’t have to turn your disappointment into distrust. It’s critical to offer some grace and move on.
You will always have to handle your emotions. But when they threaten to overwhelm your happiness, it is time to let them go.

Golf hypnosis can provide a quicker and easier way to train yourself in the mental aspects of this wonderful game. Hypnosis provides access to your subconscious or inner mind. This is the part of your mind that acts automatically and instinctively and this is why sports hypnosis will help accelerate the rapid establishment of positive mental habits.
Golf Hypnosis concentrates on communicating with your unconscious mind and the changes you implement unconsciously become part of your automatic or involuntary responses. You don’t have to analyze them to use them. In fact, you don’t even need to remember them consciously.
To understand how golf hypnosis works you must first understand a little bit about your brainwaves. Research using an electroencephalography, or EEG, has revealed that the human mind oscillates between 4 predominate brainwaves; beta, alpha, theta, and delta. Beta brainwaves, which are short and fast, occur when you are fully awake and alert. On the opposite end of the spectrum there are delta brainwaves which occur when you are deep asleep and unconscious. In between these two are alpha and theta brainwaves. Alpha brainwaves are associated with relaxed awareness similar to daydreaming or performing in the zone on the golf course. While theta brainwaves are connected with light stages of sleep, deep hypnosis, and meditation. Research has also shown that alpha and theta brainwaves are the ones associated with learning, and the predominate brainwaves we used as children when we achieved big feats of learning like how to speak a language.
Golf hypnosis is the secret technique that the top tour players use to achieve perfect scores on the green. In my work as a sports hypnotist I speak a lot in my golf hypnosis work about the difference between the conscious and the subconscious mind. From client feedback it has been their experience that better golf is played when they are able to utilize more of their subconscious mind. This enhances their ability to play in the zone.
The use of golf hypnosis allows you to access your subconscious mind, the part that knows just what to do, just how to do it, the part that acts automatically and spontaneously. Your conscious mind thinks whilst your subconscious mind acts automatically. Golf hypnosis will allow you to access your automatic thought patterns and re-educate them. Many people don’t even know the thought processes which are embedded in their subconscious mind; all they know is how they feel and how they act, without knowing why. And in golf, as with everything in life, awareness precedes choice which precedes change.
About Golf Hypnosis
With the help of golf hypnosis and/or self-hypnosis training, you can learn to gain control of your thought process and eliminate negative or self limiting thoughts. You can also direct your automatic thought patterns in a way that you desire. You can make suggestions to instill yourself with hypnosis confidence; you can learn to visualize clearly the results you want to happen, so that when you go out on the golf course you have an instinctive feeling of confidence and an expectation that the ball is going to end up in the right place. And, seeing as hypnosis is in itself a state of relaxation at one with a state of heightened awareness, you can learn to relax and focus at will whilst on the golf course.
