GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE

John Sexton

Dear Members,

We would like to thank those who participated in our various social events over the past month, namely the Cinco de Mayo celebration, Kentucky Derby Day, Trivia Night and the special themed menu evenings that took place Our members are what makes Tarpon Cove so inviting and seeing many of you attending the events adds to the family atmosphere. You will continue to see many enhancements throughout the clubhouse and grounds. We have received many great comments about the new furniture in the restaurant and poolside area. The progress for the marina rebuild is ongoing and we are in constant communication with the powers that be. We will keep you updated on this very important amenity.

Please join me for coffee and donuts on Wednesday, June 7th from 9am-10am for some fellowship and fun.

We started May off with the traditional Ellie May Tennis Classic which was a great success and an opportunity to see Ellie in her fashionable dress While it is a bit quieter around the club these days we continue to have a variety of entertainment for those of you who are still in town. Our social media page on Facebook and Instagram is a great place to check out what has been happening at your club. We encourage you to take pictures at the next event you attend and upload them to the social media sites

Please invite your friends to experience everything Tarpon Cove has to offer and let me know if they would like more information about membership and how to join the Tarpon Cove family.

Looking forward to seeing you around the club!

TENNIS UPDATE

Myke Loomis Landauer

Summer is here, which means a quieter time around the courts. We’ll have early play to beat the heat then the afternoon showers to cool us off. Lessons will be ongoing Please call the pro shop to set yours up You may make your court reservations in Chelsea as you normally do during the season. Lee is off to enjoy the summer. But not to worry, she will be back to help us all out once the season hits again! We all feel she is one of our biggest assets at the club!

Ellie in her tennis dress!

THE POWER OF POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

With a little bit of positive thinking, you can change your mindset and have a sunnier outlook.

Imagine that it’s midweek and your to-do list seems like it will never end Instead of making plans for the weekend, you can only think about how you’ll never get everything done Don’t let negative thoughts ruin your week Instead, turn your attitude around with positive affirmations

What are positive affirmations?

“Positive affirmations are short, empowering statements we repeat to ourselves to overcome negative thoughts and attitudes,” says Lynne Ann Gallagher, outpatient pediatric therapist at Geisinger Health Plan This form of self-talk can help reframe your mentality, recognize your strengths and even boost your confidence When you start believing in the words, they can inspire you to make meaningful changes or work toward an achievement

Harnessing the power of positivity

Getting started is simple. And it only takes a few minutes. “Think about something you’d like to achieve,” Ms. Gallagher says. “It could be landing a job, reaching a specific goal or changing a behavior.”

After you ’ ve focused on a target, make a short list of positive statements related to that change.

Consider using “I” or “ me ” statements to make them more personal And focus on messages that are motivating and empowering Examples of powerful affirmations include:

I can do anything I put my mind to

I am strong/beautiful/capable

Today I will have a good day

Each day brings me closer to my goals

I will achieve my goal

After you ’ ve built your list of statements, it’s time to put them into action Plan a designated time to say your affirmations That could be when you wake up, before bed or at the end of your workday Take a few minutes to breathe and state your affirmations out loud Repeat them a few times to help you focus “The more a statement is said or heard, the truer it becomes,” says Ms Gallagher.

And if you’d rather not speak them out loud, consider writing them down. Display them in a spot you use regularly, like on your mirror or in your home office. To take things further, try to visualize what your goal looks like. That visualization can keep the goal at the front of your mind.

The benefits of positive self-talk

Encouraging self-talk shapes your beliefs and thoughts And a little positivity goes a long way Just a few short daily affirmations can do more than you think
