Description

Aside from the comedy you gain watching your buddy repeatedly shank his tee shot into the water (he'll eventually get it, right!?), you and I can both learn a lot about the art of comedy when it comes to improving our golf game. Specifically, from the improv framework, "yes, and," which fosters acceptance, creativity, open-mindedness, collaboration, and focus. In today's episode, you'll learn how and why you should adapt the "yes, and" framework on the golf course to find more resiliency, acceptance, presence, and enjoyment during your rounds. Start listening. P.S. If you're interested in learning more about how mindset coaching and hypnotherapy can help you get unstuck from the proverbial bunker of poor performance on the course and in your business, click here to schedule a coaching discovery call with me. The Art and Science of Acceptance (Newsletter) Key Points: The 'Yes, And' framework fosters creativity and acceptance. Acceptance is crucial in both comedy and golf. Building off mistakes can lead to better outcomes. Collaboration with the course enhances performance. Staying present allows for better focus and execution. Every shot is an opportunity to reset and refocus. Mistakes are learning opportunities, not failures. A positive mindset can change the course of a game. Emotional resilience is key to playing well. Enjoying the game is as important as performance. Key Quotes: "I want to discuss how yes and the framework that allows creativity, novelty, excitement and damn good humor to flourish in the comedic realm. The same framework can allow you to infuse a sense of passionate acceptance and presence in the moment after hitting a poor shot or making a mistake to ultimately help prepare yourself." "There's a deep, strong element of acceptance. This means agreeing with whatever premise or scenario is presented. And again, this might be by another comedian, an audience member, or just the situation you and that comedian are building off of. The idea here is to embrace whatever comes up instead of rejecting or blocking it." "You are going to hit so many great shots in your life that still don't land or go where you intended. It might be a bad bounce. It might lead to an unfortunate lie. You have to remain present, accepting, and adaptable." Subscribe to the More Pars Than Bogeys Newsletter.
