232 - It's Just A Thought - Tom Sterner Interview

Welcome to Episode 232 of THE Golf Improvement Podcast!  Dedicated to sharing useful information on professional club fitting, putting and short game improvement, and effective practice techniques. CHANGING GOLFER'S LIVES - ONE GOLFER AT A TIME! Welcome Back Tom Sterner - Founder of The Practicing Mind Institute, and author in 2023 of his third book - "It's Just A Thought."

Show Notes:

It was great to to interview Tom Sterner again for the 4th time - author of a valuable book "It's Just A Thought."

  • Tom shares some of the interesting things he has done since the last interview we did about 5 years ago.
  • He talks about what motivated him to write "It's Just A Thought."  Which is actually book 3 in a series.
  • Tom said he often asks clients to repeat this mantra - "I am not my thoughts." Some thoughts I create but most I do not, and it is those thoughts that unknowingly create me."  He discusses valuable insights into the roles of the unonscious and conscious mind in creating thoughts.
  • A quote from the book - "Judging is usually the comparison between where I am in the moment and my BEST performance."  WHY do we Judge, and HOW can we stop?
  • My favorite chapter in the book is "What Is The Struggle Telling You?"  Tom shares how we misinterpret struggle, and notes that "This Is Where The Fun Starts!" 
  • There are chapters in the book about HeartMath and Self-Hypnosis.  Fascinating topics!
  • Anxiety is a MAJOR issue for many young people - Tom shares his views on why they suffer so  much.
  • Finally, shares about what will be in his - hopefully to be published soon! - 4th book.

         Thanks Tom - Keep Having Amazing Impacts On People's Lives!!
