So, last night did not feel like a good night at pool league.  I feel as though I shot pretty well, and I definitely got some great shots in, but I lost 6 out of 8 games.  That’s a pretty poor average.  What I’d really like to do in this moment is to change the way I’m feeling about my pool playing abilities.  The better I can get myself feeling about the way I play pool, the better I’m going to play pool… that’s law of attraction 101.  So I’m going to attempt my first linear focus wheel here.   (For and explanation of my linear focus wheel idea click here.)

I know what I don’t want:
I felt overwhelmed and embarrassed with my pool performance last night.  I know I can shoot better than I did… I allow myself to get nervous, and the more nervous I become, the worse my game becomes.  I want to align with ease and clarity when I compete in pool.

What is it that I do want:
I love the feeling of alignment in all things I choose to do.  It’s so sweet to feel relaxed and in the flow in those moments when I release all tension and resistance and simply allow my talents to be fully expressed.

And around the wheel:

1)  I know that I play pool well; my stroke is getting straighter and straighter and I have a good eye.

2)  My teammate Eve is so awesome in the way that she offers encouragement and advice.

3)  I shot extremely well at league last week, I even beat a couple of people who have decades more experience at pool than I do.

4)  I made the most beautiful, complex, elegant 9 ball shot last night… my opponent literally bowed to me because he was so impressed.

5)  Contrasting experience (experiencing what I don’t want) is great for spurring me into action to attract the experiences that I do want.

6)  I love that Patty comes to league every week and beams with pride as I move around the table and sink ball after ball, whether I win or lose.

7)  Almost everyone that I get the opportunity to play in league is extremely encouraging and the always acknowledges how much my game has improved since the last time they played me.

8)  I totally believe in the law of attraction which keeps me turning again and again to the best feeling thoughts I can find on many subjects, which is really a great way to live life.

9)  I particularly love the experience of actually witnessing the improvement in my game in the moment that I’m thinking good feeling thoughts.

10) Seeing the direct, immediate, positive results when I turn to good feeling thoughts relative to my pool game strongly encourages me to focus good feeling thoughts in all areas of my life… what a blessing!

11) It is spectacular and affirming when Eve coaches/lectures me on using the law of attraction to improve my game even though (as far as I can tell) she’s never heard of the law of attraction as a practical approach to life… she just intuitively knows that positive thinking works.

12) I really enjoy meeting so many extremely talented, fun, funny people as a result of competing in a pool league… I would really miss this adventure if I quit.

Mmmmmm…. I feel really good now.  That was sweet.  I’m going to go bask in this feeling for a while.  I think I like this linear focus wheel idea… I look forward to doing more of these.

Yeah, I know, it’s not poetry… but it sure feels good!
