The commitment of letting go. What I mean by that is you can not let your last shot effect your current one. A great golfer once said "you can not be a perfectionist and play golf, you get good breaks from bad lies and bad breaks from from great lies...".
Your situations are always changing just as the environment is changing. If you choose to stay focused on how bad the last shot was then you allow doubt to overtake you. You have to learn how to adapt and let go of the frustration you have if you don't hit a shot you want and if you don't get the breaks you want. You have to be able to assess the mistake and learn from it on the next shot, and not let anger or doubt overtake you.
Just as golf is ever changing so is life and the importance of staying present is ever important if you plan to be successful and that is due to the simple fact that life is not about focusing on the past, on the would have, could have, should have beens ....
It’s about letting go and continuing to find meaning in every moment. It’s about embracing mistakes because that’s part of a blue print for the future.
Mistakes make you wiser and move you closer to perfection. Don't let life live you, live your life. Something that I do to move on from a bad situation is to state facts in my head or self affirmations. For example, I will tell myself "the next shot will always be better", "I am worthy", and so on...
What are you doing to live?
