And while I was one of the top players on the LPGA, I often felt like I didn’t quite fit in and wasn’t good enough. It was like a background sound that I was quite familiar with since high school. For some reason, this event triggered me, even though it wasn’t a tour event. Being surrounded by all these beautiful, successful women, brought out feelings of insecurity and inadequacy in me. Everyone else is cool, but not me. I don’t really belong here. No matter my skill level or accomplishment, this feeling would just creep up on me. But this wasn’t the first time and so I decided to try out something different than what I had done in the past. Normally, I would’ve tried to talk myself out it, remind myself of my worth, my success and try to silence it. But I was tired of fighting my thoughts. It was exhausting. And so I did something very radical. I. Just. Let. Them. Be. I even decided to have the courage to say – “it’s okay, you can stay, I see you.” I simply had the courage to start the day and my round, without trying to get into a better state than what I was in. I became the observer of this uncomfortable stickiness and judgy-ness and I walked off the course shooting a 63. The score was nice, but I just couldn’t believe how this simple, yet profound change in perception catapulted me into a flow state. I was actually practicing non-resistance. Being in a state of flow is essentially just that. Getting out of your own way of resisting your inherent ability, your inherent essence and realizing that the thoughts and feelings we experience are not who we truly are. There are many ways of entering the flow state, which I’ll talk about in the future, but I will never forget this day and the way I found myself in it. I believe that the more we clear out our old sub-conscious beliefs and old emotions stuck somatically in our bodies, the more we can wake up with natural feelings of joy and gratitude. But life isn’t linear and often times the biggest leaps we can make is by practicing radical acceptance. Have you experienced something similar before? 📸: @tobias_kegler」6月3日 2時00分
