I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.

We all have negative thoughts sometimes that put us down or make us doubt ourselves. That’s normal, but when those thoughts become chronic and intrusive it can lead to a sad lonely life of blaming the world and other people for our problems. 


Looking back over my own experience and reading how others have overcome negative thoughts I wanted to share with you some ways to overcome that pattern. 


  1. Acknowledge the thoughts and know you will overcome them
  2. Use compassionate self-talk
  3. Talk to others to get a new perspective
  4. Take that thought, wrap it up in tissue and throw it away


Listen to today’s short to better understand what I mean and hear how I used these tactics to get over my throwing issue as a young player.
