Negative Self-Talk Counter

Track every moment of negative self-talk during a round. The goal is to recognise unhelpful thoughts early, reset quickly and gradually reduce their frequency.

Setup & execution

Play your round as normal, logging every negative thought with "Negative thought" and every successful reframe with "Caught & reset" straight after. At this level, start noticing patterns — is it always after a bad tee shot? A three-putt? Comparing yourself to your playing partners? You don't need to log the trigger, but start paying attention to it mentally.

Goal

Follow roughly half of your logged negative thoughts with a reset. Consistency across all 18 holes matters more than a perfect front nine followed by a sloppy back nine.

A reset doesn't have to be elaborate — a single breath and a specific next-shot target ("green with a soft draw") is enough to count.

Scoring options

Pick how you are rewarded. Each option records different outcomes and feeds different insights.

  • Classic

    Catching it and resetting scores. Noticing alone costs nothing.

  • Reset Rate

    A reset pays double; a thought you let stand costs you.
