EFT Golf Lesson: Handling Frustration
Have you ever experienced frustration on the golf course, only to end up out of sync with your swing? From missing an easy shot, to having a bad round, to losing a tournament, frustration can leave you cursing yourself, your opponents, your equipment and even the golf course.
Frustration is one of those ‘mental hazards’ that can easily make you ‘lose your cool’ if you allow it to, destroying and undoing many long hours of practice and your otherwise refined skills.While it is understandable and only human to get frustrated when things aren’t going your way, the frustration factor can be detrimental to your game, mentally and physically. Frustration weakens your mental focus, which can directly impact on the physical execution of the shot.
Luckily frustration can be handled very effectively using EFT. By tapping on your frustrations you can, within minutes, switch off the destructive mental noise and ‘static’ that de-stabilize and interfere with your performance. Here a two different methods for you to try.
EFT Quick Release Method for Frustration
Use this ‘Quick Release Method’ to take the edge off your frustration, right there on the spot, when your emotions are triggered. You can easily apply this method in between shots. For instance, if your last shot caused your frustration levels to escalate then your ‘mental static’ may unwittingly interfere with your next shot. Do this quick release before your next shot so that you don’t ‘carry’ the ‘frustration static’ to your next hole.
Tap the following points, repeating out aloud or in your mind the following release statements.

EFT Exercise To Release Frustration
Here is a simple EFT strategy that will help you eliminate your frustrations, so that you can focus and get on with what you want to achieve rather than what is not going right.
Step 1: Cause of Frustation
Think about an aspect of the game that causes you frustration or a specific incident/event that causes/d frustration. Rate your level of frustration on a scale of 0-10, with 0=no frustration whatsoever, 10=extremely frustrated.
Step 2: EFT Set Up
While rubbing the sore spot repeat the following set up phrase: "Even though I’m frustrated with/about (aspect of the game that is causing your frustration), I choose to accept and release it" "Even though I’m frustrated with (aspect of the game that is causing your frustration), I choose to focus on what I want to achieve" "Even though I’m frustrated with (aspect of the game that is causing your frustration), I choose to be calm, relaxed and focused"
Step 3: Tapping
Next tap the EFT points continuously while you focus your mind on the particular aspect of the game or incident that is causing your frustration. For instance if are frustrated about losing a tournament, picture the frustration, feel the frustration and run the event through your mind from start to finish as though you are watching a movie of the ‘loss’ and all it’s pitfalls. Continue ‘running the movie’ and tapping through all aspects of your frustration until you feel as though the incident no longer bothers or frustrates you.
