How To Take Out Your Trash

"What we achieve inwardly will change our outward
reality."

- Plutarch, Greek historian and philosopher

Like I said yesterday I believe by the grace of God
our lives and our achievements are built from the
inside-out using constructive thoughts, feelings,
beliefs, and inspired action. We are co-creators.

But we live in a world that's often negative, and have
picked up a lot of junk along the way. Some of it our
own doing, some not. Some we're aware of, but much
more socked away in our subconscious where it
affects what we do automatically. Too much of the
time that means were building up results we really
don't want.

Question is how do we change and become the kind
of builders we want to be? In shooting how do we
become master of the free throw, for instance? One
thing's for sure - the negative stuff doesn't help one
bit.

One way I mentioned yesterday to jetison the
mental riff raff is first to become aware of it, and
then make a conscious effort to drop it. You don't
want to reason with it, analyze it, or do battle
against it. Just let it go.

That's not always enough though. Sometimes
stronger measures are needed.

I have a friend Mike who handles it this way:

"Everytime I catch myself thinking a negative
thought or someone drops bad news in my lap I
immediately say to myself, 'Thanks for sharing
that. CANCEL. CANCEL. CANCEL. And I
smile. Always I smile.""

Or I know of another gent who wore a big thick
rubberband on his wrist for a month. Everytime
he caught himself being negative toward others
or more often toward himself, he'd pull that band
out to about 10 inches and let it go against his
wrist. Hard enough to draw a welt. I think that's
called aversion therapy, but call it what you will it
gets the job done.

Coach Stan Kellner is also a master at helping you
overcome the negativity that comes out in learning
to become a skilled shooter. See for yourself what
Stan calls the secret of the Cybernetic Loop in his
Ultimate Shooting Method DVD.

Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops

P.S. I'm leaving in a minute to go hear Dick Vitale
speak on campus at the University of Florida, and
Midnight Madness is tomorrow night for all the
college teams. I'm getting psyched.

I hope you'll get fired up too and shoot for your
hoops dreams with all your heart this season. Write
and let me know how your shooting is going.

Stan Kellner is also fired up and it shows in his book,
his CD, and his shooting DVD. Grab yourself some
