The Secret to Getting Mountain Lion Cool and Calm (even on a golf course)

Published: Sun, 09/23/18

Hey,

I was out golfing today with a good friend who impressed me with his cool, calm mindset toward his game...and it got me wondering.

He kept saying to himself, "Trust your swing, Dana. Just let the club do the work. Relax."

It made me think about how clearly this applies to men in EVERY DAMN SITUATION IN LIFE!

What if we could just decide to relax and "let the club do the work" in all aspects of our life? What would it mean to you to just "trust your swing"?

I snapped this 58 second video while my buddy, Dana, was hitting his drive off the 7th tee. He didn't appreciate the additional pressure, but hell, what are friends for if they can't help you make a video once in a while.

How to Be Mountain Lion Calm and Cool

I believe "trust your swing" means TRUST YOURSELF.

A lack of trust in who you are, what you believe, what you value, what you want and where you're going is the the #1 cause of anxiety in men.

Why?

Because when you don't trust yourself you feel overly sensitive to everything.

Every look, action and word from others feels personal.

Your mind races and you feel anxious and overwhelmed by indecision and uncertainty.

You wake up at 3:30 AM with your "mind monkeys" chatting and playing movies of thoughts that make you crazy.

When you don't trust yourself you get angry. A lot. And instead of just throwing one club on the golf course you might throw your whole bag!

Kind of like Dana does here. (disregard the sales pitch about last year's golf retreat)

How NOT to Handle Anger

Trusting your swing means to trust your own sense of well-being.

It means to trust your ability to RESPOND instead of REACTING to things that try to rattle you.

Letting the "club do the work" means letting go of trying to over-power and control outcomes.

It means to trust that any outcomes that happen when you are being your BEST SELF are the outcomes that are supposed to happen.

And you're just fine with that.

If you want to build more trust in who you are, what you believe, what you value, what you want and where you're going, you may wish to meet some people who have traveled that path.

The great men in my community and I have your back.

The personal work I have to offer you ain't a walk in the park...but it's the best walk you'll ever have.
